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..

introduction: the question of sources In the present state of our knowledge it is not difficult to describe the physical setting for pre-Islamic Arabian history, and new archaeological discoveries in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Jordan and the Gulf are producing much valuable evidence. Over the past century a vast body of epigraphical material – some 50,000 north and south Arabian inscriptions and the inscribed sticks now emerging by the hundreds in northern Yemen – has provided a wealth of information on the societies of the peninsula, especially the bedouins. But all this seldom provides a coherent picture of the course of events, as opposed to vignettes and bare details, and thus does not replace a literary historical tradition. There are external epigraphic records of the Arabs and Arabia, and historical sources – especially in Greek and Syriac – are often helpful. But this information too is profoundly discontinuous, and in any case represents the perspective of outsiders who regarded the Arabs as barbarian marauders and most of Arabia as a menacing wasteland. There is voluminous material on the subject in the Arabic sources, but herein lies the problem. The relevant accounts include a vast bulk of poetry and are frequently attributed to the pre-Islamic period, or are presented as describing events and conditions of that time; but – apart from the Koran – the sources containing these accounts date from at least two centuries later. In times past it seemed reasonable simply to compare the various accounts to determine which seemed most likely to be true.

The Arabs to the Time of the Prophet

The Latin Empire of Constantinople and the Frankish States

This chapter examines the evidence that prompted the original theory, and reconsiders that for Christianity in sub-Roman and early medieval Britain, giving special attention to northern and western Britain. Continuity of Roman Christianity and its spread west and north is indicated by Patrick's writings. Our knowledge of Britain in the sixth century depends to a considerable extent upon the writings of a single author, Gildas. It is highly likely that monasticism reached Britain from Gaul at the end of the fourth. While in the east Christianity was spreading up from the Britons between the Walls to the Picts north of the Forth, in the west the Irish colony of DalRiada was gaining a major Christian focus with the foundation of the monastery of Iona. The surviving evidence of literary works, manuscripts and stone carving reveals Iona as one of the major literary.
