Abstract: lire un livre en ligne Il est apparu que le grand réservoir humain qu’a été l’Arabie, bien protégée par son climat contre les intrusions étrangères, a fourni de tout temps un apport notable à ce qu’on a appelé le Croissant fertile, et cela en vertu de la transhumance obligée qui a entraîné une compénétration constante de populations diverses. En se sédentarisant, à l’occasion, et grâce à un apport lent, mais constant, l’élément sémitique a pris le dessus et, dans son adaptation à cette vie nouvelle, il a fait dominer ses particularités..

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an important account of how Islam developed its own law while drawing on ancient Near Eastern legal cultures, Arabian customary law and Quranic reforms, and explore the interplay between law and politics, explaining how the jurists and the ruling elite led a symbiotic existence that allowed Islamic law and its application to be uniquely independent of the'state'.
Abstract: Long before the rise of Islam in the early seventh century, Arabia had come to form an integral part of the Near East. This book, covering more than three centuries of legal history, presents an important account of how Islam developed its own law while drawing on ancient Near Eastern legal cultures, Arabian customary law and Quranic reforms. The development of the judiciary, legal reasoning and legal authority during the first century is discussed in detail as is the dramatic rise of prophetic authority, the crystallization of legal theory and the formation of the all-important legal schools. Finally the book explores the interplay between law and politics, explaining how the jurists and the ruling elite led a symbiotic existence that - seemingly paradoxically - allowed Islamic law and its application to be uniquely independent of the 'state'.

TL;DR: In the provinces the architectural and art forms characteristic of the Flavian era continued to flourish as mentioned in this paper and Dynamism returned to imperial commissions with the Romano-Spanish Trajan, who was able to impress upon it his own many-sided personality: ruler, philhellene, architect, dilettante, poet, traveller and romantic.
Abstract: Greek artefacts, craftsmen and artists had penetrated Rome since regal days; from the second century BC this trickle had become a continuing and influential flood, contributing together with Italic and Etruscan architecture and art, and the developing central Italian and Roman concrete architecture, to the rich tapestry of the art of the capital. Vespasian (69-79), founder of the Flavian dynasty, showed an astute pragmatism in his handling of architecture and art. In the provinces the architectural and art forms characteristic of the Flavian era continued to flourish. Dynamism returned to imperial commissions with the Romano-Spanish Trajan. The age of Hadrian (117-38) proved to be extraordinary, largely because of the extent to which he was able to impress upon it his own many-sided personality: ruler, philhellene, architect, dilettante, poet, traveller and romantic. The rich artistic harvest of the Flavian to the Antonine ages was not just an imperial, but a corporate achievement, one which offered a worthy inheritance to following generations.

TL;DR: Hallaq's Magisterial overview of Shari'a sets the record straight by examining the doctrines and practices of Islamic law within the context of its history, and by showing how it functioned within pre-modern Islamic societies as a moral imperative as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: In recent years, Islamic law, or Shari'a, has been appropriated as a tool of modernity in the Muslim world and in the West and has become highly politicised in consequence. Wael Hallaq's magisterial overview of Shari'a sets the record straight by examining the doctrines and practices of Islamic law within the context of its history, and by showing how it functioned within pre-modern Islamic societies as a moral imperative. In so doing, Hallaq takes the reader on an epic journey tracing the history of Islamic law from its beginnings in seventh-century Arabia, through its development and transformation under the Ottomans, and across lands as diverse as India, Africa and South-East Asia, to the present. In a remarkably fluent narrative, the author unravels the complexities of his subject to reveal a love and deep knowledge of the law which will inform, engage and challenge the reader.

TL;DR: A regret, nous laisserons de cote les multiples aspects de la civilisation, ou plus exactement des rencontres de civilisations, rend passionnante l'histoire de la Syrie dans l'antiquite as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Sur la Syrie romaine, nos informations sont aujourd'hui vastes, lacunaires et dispersees. Fouilles et explorations ont considerablement enrichi la documentation disponible. Archeologie, epigraphie, numismatique ont donne lieu a des publications nombreuses. Les textes litteraires antiques ont ete reinterpretes. Des etudes d'ensemble ou de detail, au premier rang desquelles prennent place celles d'Henri Seyrig, ont renouvele notre connaissance des faits et des evenements.Quelques pages ne peuvent etre ni une synthese ni un catalogue; un choix s'impose. Certains points, assures depuis longtemps, permettent d'etre bref; d'autres, recemment acquis ou encore en discussion, appellent de plus longs developpements.A regret, nous laisserons de cote les multiples aspects de la civilisation, ou plus exactement des rencontres de civilisations, dont l'etude rend passionnante l'histoire de la Syrie dans l'antiquite. Nous tentons seulement de fournir pour cette etude en quelque sorte un cadre et une toile de fond indispensables, en montrant comment il a fallu plus de trois siecles pour que la Syrie fut solidement integree a un empire romain unifie. De l'emprise romaine, nous nous attacherons a preciser les etapes d'abord, de la conquete de Pompee a la reconquete d'Aurelien, les instruments ensuite, gouverneurs, armee, organisation des finances et de la monnaie. Cette perspective explique que nous nous arretions chronologiquement au regne de Diocletien, malgre le grand interet que presente en Syrie le IVe siecle de notre ere.
