This paper is an essay of comparative literature about three texts from the late sixteenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth century, written by French or Spanish authors who depicted the life of beggars through the pseudo autobiography of a character living among them in different areas (Charente, Loire-Atlantique, Poitou, Seville, Rome). It compares the nature, diversity, intensity of the poor's passions, in the moral meaning this word had at that time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The frontispiece image of the Livre de l'Espérance due to the Talbot Master 1435 (BnF fr. 126, ca 1435) shows the most remarkable attention paid to the details of the text. This paper studies how the painted image, by using the traditional somnium's iconographic syntax, underlines the powerful shift created by Alain Chartier in the topic. Nonetheless, the painter avoids pathetics effects: the crossed-arms "damoiselle encontenancee" features the modest allegory of a restrained pathos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1582, the Livre de l'Espérance and the French translation of De vita Curiali, the Curial, were printed in one volume under the title of Curial. It was not the first time that these two works of Alain Chartier were brought together. The objective of this paper is to analyze the manuscript and printed transmission of the Livre de l'Espérance and the Curial to try to discover the reasons that led to associate these two texts, to confuse one work with the other and even to unify them as a single work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reconsiders the criticism levelled against the "debaz" in the Livre de l'Espérance, and argues that Alain Chartier does not reject in fact the principle of conflicting dialogue, so significant for the form of his poems: if this treatise gives way to the voice of religious authority, we can still hear a toned down protest against the world order, so that the movement of the debat, which is essential to human consciousness, represents a salutary experience of the limits of thought.

The Vatican B.A.V. Reg. lat. 1334 manuscript gives an example of the classification of scientific knowledge and magical practices in French in the Late Middle Ages. This paper considers the coherence of this particular codex by describing the miscellany and identifying the texts it contains. Indeed, even if the manuscript brings very diversified treatises together (medicine, alchemy, astrology, prophecy), it is organised around a central topic, the secret. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper examines Rudolf Eucken's philosophical engagement during the First World War. The central themes of sacrifice, solidarity, nationalism and patriotism are investigated in terms of their philosophical significance and in their historical context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article informs on the imaginary of terrorism in literary works. It mentions the meaning of the clear shift of the terrorist figure toward the axis of pure and simple evil, even though, unlike Captain Nemo in the book "Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers" by Jules Verne, Dr. No faces off against a state terrorist whose violence is legitimized. It also mentions that several of Ian Fleming's villains, particularly Dr. No, have a family resemblance to him.

The article reports that John Pocock traced the evolution of republicanist thought in the 18th century in the Anglo-Saxon world by showing the recomposition of the traditional lines of opposition between Whigs and Tories in an economico-political context dominated by new questions, such as the formation of permanent armies to the detriment of citizen militias.
