La réunion de contributions qui s'interrogent sur l'avenir de la médiation numérique de l'édition critique notamment en terme de reformulation ou de présentation des supports manuscrits et imprimés, mais aussi à propos des outils permettant leur transmission. ©Electre 2017 Alors que le monde devient numérique et que les nouvelles générations considèrent que les ordinateurs, les appareils mobiles et Internet sont devenus des extensions de notre corps indispensables pour vivre et exister aujourd'hui, c'est l'avenir des formes traditionnelles de la culture, de la connaissance et de l'érudition qui se trouve mis en question. Le statut même des textes, hérité d'une longue tradition de manuscrits et de livres imprimés, évolue avec le développement de l'écriture numérique. L'édition critique elle-même est de plus en plus bousculée par l'innovation technologique et les nouvelles attentes des lecteurs. La création dynamique de nouveaux espaces et médias pour la connaissance remplace progressivement l'autorité des objets culturels séculaires. L'édition critique à l'ère du numérique explore la manière dont la transition du manuscrit et de l'imprimé vers des formes diverses de remédiations numériques, de reformulations et de présentations, non seulement change les procédés utilisés par les éditeurs chercheurs pour gérer les problèmes pratiques de l'édition critique, mais aussi génère diverses conceptions de la nature des textes et de leur transmission qui entrent en compétition. Les auteurs ont mis en commun leurs expériences de philologues, de critiques textuels, d'encodeurs de textes, d'éditeurs scientifiques et d'analystes du tournant numérique pour éclairer le futur de ce joyau de la couronne philologique qu'est l'édition critique.

Two gifted eighteenth-century Londoners, Charles Cavendish and his painfully preeminent son Henry were descendants of paired revolutions, one political and one scientific. Scions of a powerful revolutionary family, they gave an original turn to the duty of public service that attached to their social rank. The English aristocracy knew one of its finest hours when Henry Cavendish gently laid his delicate weights in the scales of the first great precision balance of the century. For this action to happen, it took two generations and two kinds of invention, one in social forms and the other in scientific methods. This joint biography of father and son tells how it came to pass. Henry Cavendish is best known for his researches in chemistry, electricity, and heat, but in truth he worked in every part of physical science, bringing to it his unique combination of experimental precision and mathematical penetration. His accomplishment is likened to the highest example: since the death of Newton, Humphry Davy wrote, England has suffered "no scientific loss so great as that of Cavendish." Through inheritance he became immensely rich. Regarding intellect and fortune, he is called "the wisest of the rich and the richest of the wise." In his exclusive devotion to science, he is compared with "the most austere anchorites," who were "not more faithful to their vows." With reference to his legendary shyness, he is described as a man of "most reserved disposition," of a "degree bordering on disease." He was, to be sure, all of these things: one of the best scientists of his time, one of the richest men in the kingdom, a member of one of the politically most influential aristocratic families, a scientific fanatic, and a person of extraordinary peculiarities. This biography, a major revision of the original published in 1999, offers an enlarged understanding of the eighteenth century world of science and a reevaluation both of the scientific genius and of the remarkable personality of Henry Cavendish. It is a comprehensive study of science, family, and society in the eighteenth century.

This textbook analyzes a number of texts in “conformal translation,” that is, a translation in which the same Babylonian term is always translated in the same way and, more importantly, in which different terms are always translated differently. Appendixes are provided for readers who are familiar with basic Assyriology but otherwise philological details are avoided. All of these texts are from the second half of the Old Babylonian period, that is, 1800–1600 BCE. It is indeed during this period that the “algebraic” discipline, and Babylonian mathematics in general, culminates. Even though a few texts from the late period show some similarities with what comes from the Old Babylonian period, they are but remnants. Beyond analyzing texts, the book gives a general characterization of the kind of mathematics involved, and locates it within the context of the Old Babylonian scribe school and its particular culture. Finally, it describes the origin of the discipline and its impact in later mathematics, not least Euclid’s geometry and genuine algebra as created in medieval Islam and taken over in European medieval and Renaissance mathematics.
