This volume in honor of Jean-Claude Margueron follows in the footsteps of a life extraordinarily rich in intellectual achievements and personal encounters, the participants of which include the foremost scholars of the Ancient Near East, both archaeologists and philologists. Mesopotamia, naturally, forms the focal point of this anthology, which then follows the wide interest of its honoree to the shores of the eastern Mediterranean, from the Levant to Greece. Six themes are explored, each mirroring the research and teachings of Jean-Claude Margueron: the house of power; man and the sacred; conceiving and managing space; controling nature; man and his house. The contributions pay homage to a life of passionate research, founded in intellectual rigor and a tradition of friendship and franco-syrian cooperation. French text.
