The First Six Books of the Elements of Euclid

Près de 100 ans avant que Mondrian ne rende célèbres les lignes et formes géométriques rouges, jaunes et bleues, le mathématicien Oliver Byrne a utilisé un système chromatique similaire pour son édition de 1847 du traité de mathématique et de géométrie d'Euclide, Éléments. L'idée de Byrne était d'utiliser la couleur pour faciliter l'apprentissage et "diffuser un savoir permanent" . Le résultat a été décrit comme l'un des livres les plus étranges et les plus beaux du XIXe siècle. Le fac-similé de l'impressionnant ouvrage de Byrne est désormais disponible dans une magnifique édition XL. La beauté de ce chef-d'oeuvre artistique et scientifique vient autant de l'audace de ses calculs et diagrammes rouges, jaunes et bleus que de la précision mathématique et didactique des théories qu'il expose. La simplicité des formes et des couleurs annonce la vigueur future du Stijl et du Bauhaus. En rendant accessibles et esthétiquement plaisantes des informations complexes, ces graphiques sont aussi les précurseurs des infographies qui forment aujourd'hui largement les données que nous consommons.

Dirty Panties (English Edition)

Roxane is a young Parisian whose Bohemian life seems stuck in an endless loop of idle afternoons and wine-soaked nights with her roommate. Strapped for cash and novelty, she starts selling her used underwear online. Dirty Panties chronicles her first steps in this marketplace, from the creation of her online persona to the real-life rendezvous with shady customers. This new business soon impacts Roxane's daily life and the people around her. The world she has just stepped into might be much more bizarre than what she expected. Roxane's journey exploring her own appetite for transgression tackles such contemporary themes as sex work, consent and economic domination. How far will she go and where will this end ? Maybelline Skvortzoff's drawing is detailed and vivid and the story is in turn hilarious, awkward, touching and dark. Much like Phoebe Waller-Bridge's character in her TV series Fleabag, Roxane is at the same time completely clueless and determined to make it on her own in this world where everything can be bought and sold. Roxane vend ses culottes -- the original edition of Dirty Panties -- won the 2023 Artemisia award for best humor comic and has been shortlisted for many awards including the official selection of the 2023 Angouleme Festival.

Le Baston de la Foy chrestienne

Guy de Brès (ca. 1522 - 31 May 1567) is well-known as probable author of the Belgic Confession (Confession de foy). This confession has become one of the identity markers of the Dutch reformed Churches and is still used by churches in all continents. Less well known is the first fruit of his pen, Le baston de la foy chrestienne, published in 1555 and revised in 1558, 1559 and 1563. Wilhelmus H.Th. Moehn gives the first critical edition of this anthology of patristic and biblical quotations, presented in an apologetic framework. Wherever possible, this edition has keyed the 492 patristic quotations to modern editions, providing additional information from patrological scholarship as needed. It also traces almost all of these quotations back to sixteenth-century sources – i.e., patristic editions and translations, anthologies, and other sixteenth-century French and Latin works – on which de Brès presumably drew. Alongside the French text of the 1555 edition, John Brooke's 1577 English translation is reproduced.

De historia animalium

This book forms the complement to the first volume published in 2000. The preface contains some remarks about the transmission of the text as a supplement to the first volume. Then follow the critical edition of books VI-X, and the indices for the whole text. The complete edition gives access to the longest and most important work from Aristotle's zoology, De historia animalium, in the Latin translation by William of Moerbeke. This version was part of the standard university curriculum in the late-medieval West. The bilingual indices give access to the richness of the translator's vocabulary and provide an indispensable tool for the study of his translation method. Except for De partibus animalium, all of Moerbeke's translations from the Aristotelian zoological corpus are now available in critical editions.
