The critical edition of Aristotle’s longest and most important zoological work as it was read in the Latin Middle Ages, complete and with exhaustive bilingual indices of the rich vocabulary. 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.

L'éthologie contemporaine a opéré une révolution majeure dont on n'a pas encore pris toute la mesure. Les représentations classiques de l'animal ne sont plus tenables : l'opposition entre nature et culture ne suffit plus à rendre compte de la différence qui sépare l'homme et l'animal. Une véritable ethnologie est désormais nécessaire pour comprendre de nombreuses sociétés animales comme celles des chimpanzés, des éléphants ou de certains mammifères marins. Réexaminant les notions d'outil, de communication et de rationalité, Dominique Lestel montre ici que les comportements culturels ne constituent pas une rupture propre à l'humain mais qu'ils émergent progressivement dans l'histoire du vivant. Il suggère par ailleurs que certains animaux doivent être considérés comme d'authentiques sujets dotés d'une histoire, d'une conscience de soi et de représentations complexes. Autant dire que le statut de l'humain doit être repensé de façon radicale : c'est là une des questions majeures du XXIe siècle.

"Even archaeological matters are subjected to prevailing trends and sociopolitical phenomena. In our time, when the relationship of individuals to their environment is increasingly a subject of discussion, it is amazing that it has not already been extensively examined in regard to the antique humans. Plants and animals are often chosen motives on Greek pottery. Animals are depicted in a realistic environment, as pets, as hounds or prey animals, plants characterize a location or act as ornamentation. Both, plants and animals, are shown in scenes of everyday life and in mythological sequences, both may also bare a symbolic meaning or serve in an ornamental frieze. In this way, the depictions of plants and animals represent a main subject or serve as attributes or ornamental enrichments. For the first time, this volume is covering these often neglected elements on Greek vases of the Geometric to the early Hellenistic period"--Back cover

Si la lecture du titre évoque un organe dont l'homme ne peut se passer, ou encore les rendez-vous parfois angoissants chez le dentiste, le contenu va bien au-delà de ces considérations. Après une description morphologique de l'organe dentaire et une mise au point sur son développement embryonnaire abordé de manière historique, l'auteur aborde l'apparition de cet appendice. Un panorama des structures dentaires chez les vertébrés est ensuite brossé, avec de nombreuses discussions sur le mode d'évolution de cet organe, incluant des notions de biologie génétique du développement. Un chapitre aborde la question des dents chez les oiseaux, dont la lecture permettra de briser certaines idées préconçues chez le lecteur profane. Tout au long de l'ouvrage, le processus d'évolution darwinienne est présent et il est clairement démontré que ce petit appendice si utile n'échappe pas aux règles du transformisme.

This includes reviews that shed light on subjects central to animal ecology, including theoretical analyses of specific topics. The Journal publishes standard papers, essay reviews, forum pieces and In Focus articles (by invitation). The journal is published six times a year.
