Les traductions françaises du De regimine principum de Gilles de Rome
This book deals with the different translations into Old French of Giles of Rome’s De regimine principum, dedicated to Philippe le Bel around 1279, and their readership. First-hand manuscript research has permitted us to understand not only the general context of their production but also the social conditions of their transmission and circulation. This work concentrates on different aspects of the reception of Giles of Rome’s pedagogical ideas by his “translators”, who are by no means passive in this process. This book provides not only a concrete idea of what Giles of Rome’s educational ideas became when mediated for the consumption of a lay public but also how the translators, in their translations, supported the transmission of re-appropriated knowledge.
The Orders of Knighthood and the Formation of the British Honours System, 1660-1760
`Sheds considerable new light on the nature, development and functions of the orders in a key phase of their history, and goes a long way to explaining how such archaic institutions could flourish in a culture that is commonly thought anti-traditional and especially hostile to the "middle ages"'. Professor JONATHAN BOULTON, University of Notre Dame. This is the first comprehensive study to set the British orders of knighthood properly into the context of the honours system - by analysing their political, social and cultural functions from the Restoration of the monarchy to the end of George II's reign.

Hobbes une chronique
Cette chronique est le recueil des textes relatifs a la vie et a la pensee de Hobbes, restitues dans l'ordre de leur succession historique. L'auteur reconstruit les aspects les moins visibles du cheminement philosophique de Hobbes, c'est-a-dire qu'il recompose le tissu contextuel qui est a l'arriere-plan des grandes oeuvres. Il mobilise non seulement toute la documentation imprimee et manuscrite connue mais egalement de nombreux documents jusqu'a present inconnus, pour exhumer des temoignages oublies, deceler des rapports nouveaux et reconstituer des textes perdus. La chronique est donc un veritable laboratoire d'historien de la philosophie. On y voit, pour ainsi dire, a l'oeil nu, le travail de reconstruction des textes. La recherche sur Hobbes atteint ici un niveau de rigueur et de scientificite inconnu jusqu'a ce jour.
