"Des seigneurs sans pouvoirs. Sous le duc Léopold le', duc de Lorraine et de Bar depuis 1697, les seigneurs, Nobles et Clercs, n'avaient plus que des pouvoirs très réduits. N'est-ce pas surprenant ? On les appelait "Seigneurs", "Révérés Seigneurs", "Très hauts, Très Puissants, Très Illustres Seigneurs"... Ils étaient barons, marquis, comtes, barons du Saint-Empire, comtes du Saint-Empire, ducs, princes... Jadis, de leurs châteaux forts, ils dominaient le pays. Les seigneurs d'ancienne noblesse jouissaient d'un prestige sans égal. Ils prétendaient faire la guerre, battre monnaie, rendre la justice sans appel, comme des souverains... Ils avaient autorité sur des serfs ; autorité sur des sujets qui leur appartenaient personnellement et qui les assistaient dans le gouvernement de leurs seigneuries. Comment les bases de la puissance des seigneurs, ont-elles, pour la plupart, disparu ? Qui a tiré profit de ce déclin ? Et qui en fut l'auteur ? Hauts et Puissants Seigneurs veut répondre à ces questions. Dans cette enquête, apparaissent les seigneurs eux-mêmes, leurs sujets, des anoblis, des gens d'affaires, des "admodiateurs", des "bourgeois de Paris", et les représentants de l'Etat : les officiers en charge de l'administration, "Sa Grandeur, le Chancelier et Intendant", les rois de France et les ducs de Lorraine et de Bar, depuis le duc René 2 jusqu'au Roi Stanislas."--Page 4 of cover.

This critical Arabic text edition of K. Makārim al-akhlāq wa-maḥāsin al-ādāb wa-badāʾiʿ al-awṣāf wa-gharāʾib al-tashbīhāt ( Book of Noble Character, Excellent Conduct, Admirable Descriptions, and Curious Similes ) is a substantial work of adab attributed to the prominent littérateur Abū Manṣūr al-Thaʿālibī (d. 429/1039) that consists of a short introduction and three chapters. The first chapter addresses acquiring noble character and excellent conduct ( al-taḥallī bi-makārim al-akhlāq wa-maḥāsin al-ādāb ); the second addresses shunning away from base character and ugly traits ( al-tazakkī ʿan masāwiʾ al-akhlāq wa-maqābiḥ al-shiyam ); and the third addresses admirable descriptions and curious similes ( badāʾiʿ al-awṣāf wa-gharāʾib al-tashbīhāt ). At the end of the text one finds a relatively large collection of widely circulating proverbs ( amthāl sāʾira ) that are alphabetically arranged. Makārim al-akhlāq is in essence an anthology of “good conduct” and of quotations suitable for social and literary discourse. It reflects the three ingredients of adab : behavior, literary culture, and learning. The work is introduced by an analytical study discussing the attribution of the work, the related genres, and the unique manuscript of the text.
