POWER, ARISTOCRACIES AND PROPAGANDA
The outcome of a scientific conference organized in November 2021, this volume aims to provide a picture of how the aristocratic political class of France and Moldavia sought to challenge monarchical power and how the latter tried to reassert itself in face of this turbulent nobility, in the context of the endemic civil wars that plagued both countries during the chosen period. For this purpose, this volume tries to analyze both the ideological issues involved in these endemic struggles, as they appear in the propaganda of the period, and the practical aspects and consequences (political intrigues or military developments) of the conflictual relationship between the rulers of these countries...
Stalinism Revisited
Stalinism Revisited brings together representatives of multiple generations to create a rich examination of the study and practice of Stalinism. While the articles are uniformly excellent, the book's signal contribution is to bring recent research from Eastern European scholars to an English-speaking audience.

Paul of Aleppo's Journal, Volume 1
Paul of Aleppo, an archdeacon of the Church of Antioch, journeyed with his father Patriarch Makarios III ibn al-Za'im to Constantinople, Moldavia, Wallachia and the Cossack's lands in 1652-1654, before heading for Moscow. This book presents his travel notes, preceded by his record of the patriarchs of the Church of Antioch and the story of his father's office as a bishop and election to the patriarchal seat. The author gives detailed information on the contemporary events in Ottoman Syria and provides rich and diverse information on the history, culture, and religious life of all the lands he travelled across.
Arrangements before the "Great Passage"
Amidst growth in the history of mentalities - a developing research trend in Western historiography from the 1960s - there has been a greater interest in interrogating various types of historical sources, among which are testaments. Consequently, interdisciplinary analysis of this particular category of documents - that Roger Aubenas called "une source historique prometteuse" - with corroboration from information provided by other such sources, could undoubtedly offer new perspectives for a better understanding of family history, private life, mentalities, religious beliefs and behaviours, individual and collective attitudes and sensibilities, in earlier and more recent times. The present vo...
