Tradition and Change
Essays on the cultures of England and Normandy in the period after the Norman Conquest.
Unnaturally French
In his rich and learned new book about the naturalization of foreigners, Peter Sahlins offers an unusual and unexpected contribution to the histories of immigration, nationality, and citizenship in France and Europe. Through a study of foreign citizens, Sahlins discovers and documents a premodern world of legal citizenship, its juridical and administrative fictions, and its social practices. Telling the story of naturalization from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, Unnaturally French offers an original interpretation of the continuities and ruptures of absolutist and modern citizenship, in the process challenging the historiographical centrality of the French Revolution.Unnatu...
The Abbey of Cluny
The essays published in this volume cover many aspects of the history of Cluny from its foundation until the end of the twelfth century. Four of them are published here for the first time, and others appear in a revised form. The three articles on Cluny in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth centuries constitute a brief survey of Cluny at the height of its prestige and influence. Others, such as the articles on Cluny and the Investiture Controversy and the First Crusade, deal with the influence of Cluny outside its walls. Yet others are concerned with the relations between Cluny and other orders, between Cluny and its dependent houses, and between the abbey and town of Cluny. The remainder study the internal history of the abbey, the administration, legislation, and finances of the order, and its development and problems, especially in the twelfth century.

Lexique pour l'étude de la Franche-Comté à l'époque des Habsbourg
S'il n'est pas facile de lire les documents anciens, il est souvent plus difficile encore de les comprendre. Le sens des termes a évolué au fil des siècles et beaucoup de mots ne sont plus utilisés aujourd'hui. Cet ouvrage, agrémenté de citations tirées des archives, propose une définition pour plusieurs milliers de mots. Il repose sur un dépouillement systématique des manuscrits concernant la Franche-Comté à l'époque des Habsbourg, entre la fin du Moyen Age (1493) et le rattachement de la Franche-Comté au royaume de France par Louis XIV (1674). Ce lexique s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une vaste recherche sur la Franche-Comté aux xvie et xviie siècles et plus particulièrement sur les liens entre le comté de Bourgogne et les anciens Pays-Bas. Il a été conçu pour les étudiants en histoire et en paléographie moderne de l'Université de Franche-Comté mais aussi pour celles et ceux qui s'intéressent à l'histoire de la région.
The Study of Islamic Origins
The study of Islam’s origins from a rigorous historical and social science perspective is still wanting. At the same time, a renewed attention is being paid to the very plausible pre-canonical redactional and editorial stages of the Qur'an, a book whose core many contemporary scholars agree to be formed by various independent writings in which encrypted passages from the OT Pseudepigrapha, the NT Apocrypha, and other ancient writings of Jewish, Christian, and Manichaean provenance may be found. Likewise, the earliest Islamic community is presently regarded by many scholars as a somewhat undetermined monotheistic group that evolved from an original Jewish-Christian milieu into a distinct Mu...
