"This ground-breaking view of the navigational landscape of the Nile in medieval Egypt draws on a broad range of sources: medieval Arabic geographies; traveler accounts; archaeology; and meteorological, hydrological, and geological studies. John Cooper first charts the changing geography of the Nile waterways, particularly in the Delta, from the eve of Islam to the early modern period, and logs the "rise and fall" of these waterways for natural and/or anthropogenic reasons. He then presents a new perspective on the Nile, drawing on traveler accounts and environmental data to portray the river as a uniquely challenging and sometimes dangerous navigational environment requiring extensive local knowledge by skilled and hard-working Nile navigators. Finally, he looks at how the main Delta and Red Sea ports of medieval Egypt fitted into the navigational landscape described, explaining how these ports were affected by changes occurring to the navigational landscape, and how they reflected the navigational conditions of the Nile and surrounding seas."

Summary: Balnéorient est un programme de recherche fédératif et pluridisciplinaire qui se propose d'étudier les bains collectifs (balaneia thermes & hammams) en Méditerranée orientale & dans la péninsule Arabique de l'Antiquité à nos jours. L'Égypte constitue un terrain de recherche privilégié : les bains y sont "merveilleusement nombreux" sur le terrain & dans les textes. Le 1er colloque Balnéorient destiné à présenter les résultats des pros- pections, fouilles ou dépouillements d'archives effectués en Égypte, s'est tenu à Alexandrie, du 1er au 4 décembre 2006 et a abordé de manière dia- chronique la question du bain en Égypte, des installations antiques (pharaoniques, grecques, impériales & byzantines) aux hammams médiévaux et modernes. Ce livre réunit une trentaine d'études de cas & synthèses ré- gionales & historiques ; il propose un glossaire multilingue (grec, latin, arabe) & diachronique, des index (toponymes, sources, termes techniques dans les langues concernées) et une bibliographie commune. Il fait ainsi figure d'introduction au programme Balnéorient.
