Giuseppe Tucci: Une biographie

Giuseppe Tucci: Une biographie
Alice Crisanti
Traduit par Yann Majorczyk

Reconnu comme l’un des orientalistes les plus éminents de son temps, Giuseppe Tucci a marqué le xxe siècle par ses recherches théoriques approfondies et ses talents d’organisateur. Fondateur de l’Institut italien pour le Moyen et l’Extrême-Orient, il a mené de nombreuses expéditions à travers l’Asie, contribuant à définir les cadres de la recherche en indologie et tibétologie.

À partir d’une documentation en grande partie inédite, cet ouvrage retrace son parcours biographique et intellectuel, tout en le replaçant dans le contexte particulier de l’Italie du xxe siècle – marqué, entre autres, par l’engagement controversé de nombreux intellectuels auprès du régime fasciste.

En questionnant avec finesse l’histoire de l’orientalisme et les enjeux de l’engagement des intellectuels durant des périodes tumultueuses, cette monographie redonne à Giuseppe Tucci l’importance qu’il mérite dans l’histoire de la culture italienne du xxe siècle.

Les lois barbares: Dire le droit et le pouvoir en Occident après la disparition de l’Empire romain

Les lois barbares: Dire le droit et le pouvoir en Occident après la disparition de l’Empire romain 
Sous la direction de Sylvie Joye
  

Enfants de Rome, les royaumes dits barbares ou post-romains le sont assurément, tout comme leurs lois. Cependant, en ce qui concerne le droit comme le reste, on sut élaborer des structures et des idées nouvelles dans cette période souvent considérée comme un moment fondateur pour l’Europe. Rédigées entre la fin du ve et le début du ixe siècle, les « lois barbares » traduisent en effet la volonté des souverains d’affirmer leur autorité et de forger une identité pour les nouvelles entités politiques succédant à l’Empire romain en Occident.

Tout en présentant les importants changements qui ont caractérisé l’étude des lois ces dernières années (de l’étude de la structure de leurs manuscrits aux réflexions sur le pluralisme juridique), l’ouvrage offre une synthèse claire sur les liens que celles-ci entretiennent avec les mécanismes du pouvoir et le fonctionnement de la société au début du Moyen Âge. Il fournit par ailleurs un guide qui vise à faciliter l’accès à toutes les ressources heuristiques et bibliographiques qui ont fait de l’étude sur les lois barbares, le champ le plus novateur des études sur le haut Moyen Âge.

Some material is password protected, including excavations at the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore, the Gymnasium, and East of Theater. Unpublished material outside of these projects is open to the public.

Digitization and Funding

Large portions of the collection were first digitized in 2007, co-funded by the Office of Regional Development of the European Union and the Greek State through the Operational Program "Information Society" of the 3rd Community Support Framework, with additional support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In 2009 the Samuel H. Kress Foundation generously funded the cataloging of our Numismatic Study Collection. More recently in 2025, over 200,000 additional items were digitized through the Operational Program "Digital Transformation" of the NSRF 2021–2027, co-funded by the European Union and the Greek State.

Archaeologies of the Roman Mediterranean: Papers Presented in Honour of Professor Simon Keay

book cover  

British School at Rome Archaeology

Professor Simon Keay had a long and industrious career in Roman Archaeology. Following completion of a PhD at UCL specialising in Roman amphorae, his career included fieldwork at major archaeological sites in Spain and Italy culminating in the Portuslimen project, bringing together colleagues from across the Mediterranean to study the ports and trade networks of the Roman Empire. His research meant close involvement with the British School at Rome, as well as the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology and colleagues at the site of Italica, Andalusia among many others. Simon’s contribution to the discipline of Roman Archaeology was immense, and his energy and mentorship influenced scholars from many different backgrounds.

This volume brings together papers authored by those who knew Simon and who were supported and enabled by his passion for archaeology, from amphora studies to research on Roman urbanism and landscapes. Each section deals with a particular area of Simon’s interests; Mediterranean ports and river systems, trade and connectivity, and landscapes and urbanism. The contributions include reminiscences of Simon and his work, together with the results of his different projects, and research that has stemmed from his scholarship. Here, these paper underscore the diversity and vibrancy of contemporary research in the areas that interested Simon, reflecting the contribution he made and the legacy of his work.

Open Access Journal: After Constantine: Stories from the Late Antique and Early Byzantine Era

 [First posted in AWOL 15 August 2022, updated 1 May 2026]
 
ISSN: 2732-8260
 

"After Constantine" is a peer-reviewed and open-access academic journal and it is published online once a year. Its purpose is to bring Late Antiquity to the spotlight by hosting papers that underline its importance to classic and byzantine studies and contribute to a better piece of knowledge in the academic community. Our journal encourages the ecumenical dialogue between historical, archaeological, and theological subjects around the Late Antique and Early Byzantine period, especially in the East. The academic team of the journal consists of scholars of different academic backgrounds (philology, archaeology, history, palaeography), constructing in that way its interdisciplinary profile and supporting the submission of relevant papers. With the combination of the interdisciplinary character and the online and open-access feature of the journal, we attempt to re-introduce Late Antiquity to the contemporary world and enrich the academic bibliography. "After Constantine" is hosted and published by the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC), an entity which operates under the spiritual auspices of His All Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.
