[ circa 1957 ? ], 409 pp. Ce cours, peu commun, évoque dans un premier livre "le droit de la famille en France des origines aux coutumes officielles" : les solutions du Droit romain, puis le droit familial à l'époque franque, et enfin "la famille au Moyen Age", puis dans un second livre "la famille dans les trois derniers siècles de l'Ancien Régime".

1872Extrait du Recueil des Travaux de la Société d'Agriculture, Sciences & Arts d'Agen, 1 brochure in-8, Imprimerie de Prosper Noubel, Agen, 1872, 25 pp. L'érudit agenais Adolphe Magen (1818-1893) présente deux pièces provenant du château de La Milhat, près de Siorac (Dordogne). La première est une lettre de rémission accordée par Charles VIII, roi de France, à Guillaume du Lyon, seigneur de Gasques, en octobre 1497 (à l'occasion du meurtre d'un chef de bande qui désolait les environs de Moissac) ; la seconde est une lettre de rémission accordée à Jean du Lyon, seigneur de Belcastel, par Alphonse Delbène, évêque d'Orléans, le 28 mai 1648. Bon exemplaire. Une lettre de rémission est un acte de pardon, de grâce ou d'indulgence, qui décharge le coupable de la peine qu'il avait encourue. Si le délit demeure, il est devient cependant interdit d'y faire référence et d'en exiger réparation. Français
19171 brochure in-8, Imprimerie Cocharaux, Auch, 1917, 18 pp. Rare exemplaire de l'édition originale de cette étude savante consacrée à la petite chapelle de Notre-Dame du Cédon, sur la commune de Pavie, dans le Gers. On raconte que la statue de la vierge du Cédon (datée du XIIe ou XIIIe siècles) aurait été découverte par un boeuf, au pied d'un ormeau et non loin de la chapelle, mais l'auteur signale que l'abbé Segrestan, curé avant la Révolution, n'en fait pas mention. La chapelle actuelle fut édifiée "en 1836 sur l'emplacement où s'élevait jadis une antique chapelle remontant au XVIe siècle, et détruite sous la Révolution". Bon exemplaire. Français
1839Par M. l'Abbé Mossion, Chanoine de la Cathédrale d'Angers, 1 vol. in-8 br., Launay-Gagnot, Angers, 1839, 312 pp. avec frontispice dépliant Etat très satisfaisant (couv. frottée et petites usures en marges, bon état par ailleurs). L'auteur évoque le massacre de la légion thébaine. Sous Dioclétien, Maximien, commandant de légion, ayant demandé un massacre ou un sacrifice à Jupiter, Maurice et ses compagnons refusèrent d'y participer. Furieux, Maximien procéda à une première décimation, sans résultat ; il procéda alors à une seconde décimation, en vain, et fit alors exécuter la totalité de la troupe. Le massacre de la légion thébaine est l'un des grands récits de l'hagiographie chrétienne. Saint Maurice est le saint patron du Diocèse d'Angers. Français

2008328 pages; This book has come out of a project that pioneered, and is continuing to pioneer, the in-depth application of state of the art scientific analyses to ceramic artefacts and skeletal material. The vases and skeletons of Bronze Age Greece which are the subjects of this comprehensive study, do not appear as they do in their usual format - illustrations in a book with descriptions of contexts. In this project, and therefore in this book, each object is revealed from the inside, and because of this, it has a different story to tell - what people ate and drank in everyday life, the diet and health of the people who lived in Bronze Age Greece. By means of organic residue and stable isotope analysis, knowledge has been extended beyond anything previously gleaned through normal archaeological research. There are some fascinating insights, such as the origin of modern Greek retsina, which was traced first to the time of Agammemnon, then to Crete in the 17th century BC and finally to the Early Minoan Period, c. 2000 BC. The results of this ground breaking project have been presented in 7 international exhibitions, starting with the National Archaeological Museum in Athens in 1999. It is the most widely travelled exhibition of Greek artefacts ever mounted. This volume gives the reader the ultimate "story within the story": the primary scientific evidence behind the work that has been carried out up to 2003. It has been written by the world renowned scientists who carried out the work.
