Le «Peri ideôn» d’Aristote

Le «Peri ideôn» d’Aristote 

Crubellier M., Gazziero L.

  

Aristote. Traductions et Études

Le peu de sympathie d’Aristote pour la doctrine des Idées ne fait aucun doute. En revanche, l’allure récapitulative et le style laconique de ses réquisitoires laissent le lecteur perplexe quant à la question de savoir si Aristote a rendu justice aux arguments des partisans des Idées. D’où l’intérêt sans cesse renouvelé qu’une source quasi-canonique, le traité perdu d’Aristote sur les Idées, continue de susciter.
Pourtant, depuis les premières tentatives de reconstruction jusqu’aux interprétations les plus récentes, le Peri ideôn demeure un texte énigmatique, au sujet duquel on peut notamment se demander si la langue et le contenu, tels que nous les livre le témoignage d’Alexandre d’Aphrodise, reflètent la lettre de l’original ou si celui-ci a été remanié selon des modalités et une finalité qui étaient à la seule discrétion du commentateur.
C’est sous l’angle de cette adéquation problématique que la traduction et les huit études réunies dans le volume reprennent à nouveaux frais le dossier de cette pièce maîtresse de l’Aristote perdu.

Training and outreach

Since January 2026, the CDLI has been available in both English and Arabic. This is the primary outcome of Access to Cuneiform Texts (CDLI-ACT), a collaboration between the CDLI and the College of Archaeology of Al-Qadisiyah University, co-directed by Haider Al-Qaragholi, Jaafar Jotheri, Émilie Pagé-Perron and Rune Rattenborg and with financial support from the British Institute for the Study of Iraq, the General Fund for Assyriology of Wolfson College, Oxford University, the Meditor Trust, and members of the CDLI user community. Now offering a website and structured elements of the catalogue in Arabic, CDLI-ACT has delivered the first substantial database on cuneiform artifacts accessible to researchers and scholars in the Arabic-speaking world. The resource was introduced to user audiences in Iraq through a series of workshops held at the universities of Al-Qadisiyah, Babylon, Baghdad, and Mosul in January 2026. We are extremely grateful for all of the help and positive feedback from the numerous colleagues involved, and are looking forward to seeing this new element of the CDLI and its associated user community grow over the coming years. You can read more about the project in the official announcement (https://cdli.earth/postings/225).

A three-year research programme entitled Towards Universal Access to Cuneiform Heritage (TUA-CH) will be launching in June 2026, aiming to transform access to cuneiform heritage through the use of innovative digital tools and multilingual outreach. Funded by Meditor Trust and the University of York, and hosted at the Archaeology Data Service of the University of York, the programme comprises four projects that work together to remove barriers to access to knowledge for researchers, students, the general public, and, in particular, Arabic speakers. The programme includes projects set to ingest, augment and prolong the lifespan of key digital resources, including the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature (ETCSL) and various collections from the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (ORACC), as well as the development of new user interfaces for the CDLI tailored to specific audiences. You can read more about the programme in the official announcement (https://cdli.earth/postings/239).

“If Christ is Preached as Raised from the Dead…”: Studies in Honour of Riemer Roukema on the Occasion of His Retirement

“If Christ is Preached as Raised from the Dead…”: Studies in Honour of Riemer Roukema on the Occasion of His Retirement

editors: Krans J., van Egmond P., Tanja J.M.

 

Contributions to Biblical Exegesis & Theology, 123

The focus of this volume is Paul’s famous discussion of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15 and the resurrection of the dead as a broader biblical and theological theme. The topics of its 23 articles range from the roots of belief in the resurrection in the Hebrew Bible, through rabbinic concerns and New Testament statements, to later reception and theological development in early Christianity and beyond. Honouring Riemer Roukema on the occasion of his retirement, this collection reflects the research areas to which he contributed during his academic career but also touches on everyday faith in the churches he sought to serve. The volume consists of three parts: (1) Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition; (2) 1 Corinthians 15 and the New Testament; (3) biblical reception and theological developments. As an epilogue, it closes with a sermon on 1 Corinthians 15:1–11 preached by Riemer Roukema in the Groningen academy chapel.

Argos Through the Argive Lens: A Reappraisal of an Ancient City

Argos Through the Argive Lens: A Reappraisal of an Ancient City

Sous la direction de Clémence Weber-Pallez et Evan Vance

Argos was one of the most important cities in ancient Greece—if we follow Isocrates and Strabo. However, it has generally been studied as a secondary participant compared to its more important neighbours like Athens and Sparta. This work places Argos centre-stage and attempts to see the Greek world through Argive eyes. In this volume, top specialists of Argos analyse an array of evidence (including archaeological, epigraphic, and literary, among others) using new methodologies and recent research to grant Argos its full weight. Studies traverse the local, regional, and Mediterranean scales, from the Archaic to the Imperial period, and emphasize Argos’ interactions with different actors, from the small komai (villages) of its territory to the greatest powers of the Mediterranean, such as the Macedonians and Romans, to ensure its hegemony over the northeast Peloponnese.

Open Access Journal: Corpus Masoreticum Working Papers

 [First posted in AWOL 19 March 2023, updated 21 May 2026]

 

Corpus Masoreticum Working Papers

eISSN 2751-2894

Die "Corpus Masoreticum Working Papers" sind das Publikationsorgan des gleichnamigen von der DFG seit 2018 geförderten Langzeitprojektes. In regelmäßigem, aber nicht festgeschriebenem Turnus sollen Beiträge zur jüdischen Bibeltextforschung und Bibelauslegung, Masora, Editionstheorie, Manuskriptforschung sowie zu Themen der Digital Humanities und verwandten Feldern veröffentlicht werden. Autor*innen werden dabei in der Regel die Projektangehörigen sein, die damit vom Umfang her kleine bis mittelgroße (Teil-) Ergebnisse der Editionsarbeit und ihrer Forschungen publizieren. Andere Forscher:innen sind aber ebenfalls eingeladen, zu unseren projektnahen Themen an dieser Stelle zu publizieren.

Die Masora zur Hebräischen Bibel liegt heute in verschiedenen Rezensionen innerhalb und außerhalb der Bibelcodices vor, von denen bis heute ausschließlich die orientalische Tradition anteilig bearbeitet und allgemein beachtet wird. Ziel des Langzeitprojektes ist die erstmalige Aufarbeitung der westeuropäischen (ashkenasischen) Masoratradition zwischen dem 11. und 13. Jh, die sich von der orientalischen Masora nicht nur philologisch unterscheidet, sondern bereits in ihrem äußeren Erscheinungsbild als masora figurata darauf hinweist, dass die Masora unter den Juden Westeuropas in ganz eigener Weise rezipiert wurde als dies in der orientalisch sefardischen Gelehrtenkultur der Fall war. Die ashkenasischen Juden suchten mit exegetischen und künstlerischen Mitteln, die masoretische Tradition der orientalischen Codices und damit jene in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Islam entwickelte sprachwissenschaftlich grammatische Wissenstradition in das durch die rabbinische Gelehrtenkultur bestimmte religiöse Denken Westeuropas zu integrieren. Dieser Inkulturationsprozess der Masora ist ohne die Auseinandersetzung mit der christlichen Umwelt (Bibelauslegung, Ikonographie, Buchmalerei, und Architektur) nicht denkbar. Die hier avisierten Ergebnisse werfen ein neues Licht a  uf die europäische Geschichte des masoretischen Bibeltextes und seiner Auslegung und liefern damit wichtige wissenschaftliche Impulse nicht nur für die Jüdischen Studien, sondern auch für die jüdische und christliche Theologie sowie die mittelalterliche Kunstgeschichte. Die philologische Arbeit ist dabei in Zusammenarbeit mit der UB Heidelberg in eine digitale Arbeitsumgebung integriert (BIMA 2.0. Biblical Masora Database).
