Archives en bibliothèques (XVIe-XXIe siècles)
Library Archives (16th-21th c.)
Métamorphoses du livre
Are libraries places of archiving and if so, what exactly can they archive?

This book examines the history of institutional separation between archives and libraries

L'épigramme dans tous ses états: épigraphiques, littéraires, historiques
The epigram in all its forms: epigraphic, literary and historical
Hors Collection
Travelling through time and space, the epigram — a short engraved poem that became a literary genre over time — came to stand at the intersection of epigraphy, archeology, literature and history. Standing at the very crossroad of these disciplines, this book intends to present its subject "dans tous ses états", that is to say in all its forms.
