Figure de l’effervescence encyclopédique du xiiie siècle, Barthélémy l’Anglais, savant franciscain, rédige son De proprietatibus rerum dans les années 1230-1240 et constitue ainsi une véritable somme de connaissances théologiques, philosophiques, scientifiques et médicales, réunies en dix-neuf livres selon le principe de l’ordo rerum allant de la figure divine à diverses concepts intellectuels humains, en passant par les astres, la matière, etc. Cette encyclopédie en langue latine connut un i...

In insisting in the preface to his work that all the domains of knowledge are useful for architecture, Vitruvius grants a dignity to all forms of learning and provides a universal entry into his work. 1 It is precisely in this affirmation that the principle of Roman encyclopaedism resides: in presenting learned factual information, it is truly destined for a readership comprised of those who are curious and desire to acquire information about a precise domain of knowledge. Clearly this must be the reason why Pliny and other Roman encyclopaedic authors very infrequently subjected different levels of transmitted knowledge to a hierarchical ranking. In effect, such a distinction does not correlate with the primary preoccupation of these authors, who prefer to

This article aims to present different research possibilities regarding Gennadius’ De viris illustribus. First, it is necessary to review critical editions of the text. Also, it is important to consider formal and content characteristics, especially, in its relantionship with other text attributed to Gennadius, el De dogmatibus ecclesiasticis. El presente artículo se propone presentar las diversas líneas de investigación a seguir en relación al De viris illustribus de Genadio de Marsella. En principio, se comenta la necesidad de revisar las ediciones críticas del texto existentes. Por lo demás, será relevante considerar esta fuente en sus rasgos formales y de contenido, en especial, en su vinculación con otra que se ha atribuido al mismo autor, a saber, el De dogmatibus ecclesiasticis.

The Oxford Companion to CheeseEditor-in-chief Dr. Catherine Donnelly and Foreword by Mateo Kehler 855 entries on all aspects of cheese - historical and cultural, scientific, and technical. An astonishing 325 authors, from cheesemakers and cheese retailers to dairy scientists, microbiologists, historians, and anthropologists Every entry is signed by the author, and includes both cross references to related topics and further reading suggestions. A topical outline of entries in the frontmatter and comprehensive index in the backmatter help readers find exactly what they are looking for. Two 16 page color inserts and well over 100 black and white images bring the entries to life The most comprehensive reference work on cheese availabl; The discovery of cheese is a narrative at least eight thousand years old, dating back to the Neolithic era. Yet, after all of these thousands of years we are still finding new ways to combine the same four basic ingredients—milk, bacteria, salt, and enzymes—into new and exciting products with vastly different shapes, sizes, and colors, and equally complex and varied tastes, textures, and, yes, aromas. In fact, after a long period of industrialized, processed, and standardized cheese, cheesemakers, cheesemongers, affineurs, and most of all consumers are rediscovering the endless variety of cheeses across cultures. The Oxford Companion to Cheese is the first major reference work dedicated to cheese, containing 855 A–Z entries on cheese history, culture, science, and production. From cottage cheese to Camembert, from Gorgonzola to Gruyère, there are entries on all of the major cheese varieties globally, but also many cheeses that are not well known outside of their region of production. The concentrated whey cheeses popular in Norway, brunost, are covered here, as are the traditional Turkish and Iranian cheeses that are ripened in casings prepared from sheep’s or goat’s skin.There are entries on animal species whose milk is commonly (cow, goat, and sheep) and not so commonly (yak, camel, andreindeer) used in cheesemaking, as well as entries on a few highly important breeds within each species, such as the Nubian goat or the Holstein cow. Regional entries on places with a strong historyof cheese production, biographies of influential cheesemakers, innovative and influential cheese shops, and historical and cultural entries on topics like manorial cheesemaking and cheese in children’s literature round out the Companion’s eclectic coverage

International audience; Available since July 2009, Artefacts is a projected "Online encyclopedy of archaeological small finds". This is an ambitious project, presently gathering c. 30 searchers who can use a database created within Syslat®, documentary system in archaeology, created at lattes (UMR 5140 of the Cnrs) by Michel Py. The article describes the aims and main features of the project, with its two branches, Dicobj, which is the complete database available only to the authors, and provides innovative tools for the study of small finds, such as catalogues, mapping etc. ; and Artefacts, the internet vitrine of the whole programm.; Mis en ligne au cours de l'été 2009, Artefacts est un projet d'"Encyclopédie en ligne des petits mobiliers archéologiques". Il s'agit d'un projet ambitieux regroupant actuellement une trentaine de participants qui alimentent une base de données crée au sein de Syslat®, système de documentation archéologique mis en place à Lattes (UMR 5140 du Cnrs) par Michel Py. Le but de ce projet est d'offrir, à terme, une base de référence pour la caractérisation des petits mobiliers de toutes périodes, dans un vaste champ géographique correspondant à l'Europe et la Méditerranée. L'article décrit les tenants et aboutissants du projet avec ses deux branches : Dicobj, qui donne accès (aux seuls auteurs) à la totalité de la base de données, et leur offre des outils innovants pour l'étude de séries de petits mobiliers (catalogues, cartographie automatique... ; et Artefacts, la vitrine internet vitrine de l'ensemble du programme.
