Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Ibn Khaldoun, de son nom complet Abou Zeid Abd er-Rahman Ben Mohamed Ben Khaldoun el-Hadrami, né le 27 mai 1332 à Tunis et mort le 17 mars 1406 au Caire, est un historien, philosophe, diplomate et homme politique d'Ifriqiya. Sa façon d'analyser les changements sociaux et politiques qu'il a observé dans le Maghreb et l'Espagne de son époque lui vaut d'être considéré comme étant à l'avant-garde de la sociologie. C'est surtout un historien de premier plan auquel on doit la Muqaddima (traduite par les Prolégomènes et qui est en fait son Introduction à l'histoire universelle) et Le Livre des exemples ou Livre des considérations sur l'histoire des Arabes, des Persans et des Berbères. Ce sont deux ouvrages résolument modernes dans leur méthode, Ibn Khaldoun insistant dès le début sur l'importance des sources, de leur authenticité et de leur vérification à l'aune de critères purement rationnels. Georges Marçais affirme que « l'œuvre d'Ibn Khaldoun est un des ouvrages les plus substantiels et les plus intéressants qu'ait produit l'esprit humain ». Sa vie se déroule dans une époque fort troublée, marquée par divers bouleversements socio-politiques, par l'apparition de la peste noire et...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Veliký, Lithuanian: (5 March 1326, Visegrád 10 September 1382, Nagyszombat/Trnava) was King of Hungary from 1342 and King of Poland from 1370 until his death. (See Titles section) Louis was the head of the senior branch of the Angevin dynasty. He was one of the most active and accomplished monarchs of the Late Middle Ages, extending territorial control to the Adriatic and securing Dalmatia, with part of Bosnia and Bulgaria, within the Holy Crown of Hungary. During his reign Hungary reached the peak of its political influence. He spent much of his reign in wars with the Republic of Venice. He was in competition for the throne of Naples, with huge military success and the latter with little lasting political results. He founded the University of Pécs in 1367, the letter patent issued by pope Urban V Louis was the third son of Charles I of Hungary and Elisabeth of Poland, the daughter of Ladislaus the Short and sister to Casimir III of Poland.

Les achats comprennent une adhésion à l'essai gratuite au club de livres de l'éditeur, dans lequel vous pouvez choisir parmi plus d'un million d'ouvrages, sans frais. Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Nicole Oresme, Pierre Cauchon, Jean le Veneur, Jacques D'annebault, Liste Des Évêques de Lisieux, Guillaume Du Vair, Anne de Pérusse Des Cars, Arnoul de Lisieux, Thomas Basin, Jean de Dormans, Philippe Cospéan, Jean Hennuyer, Jean de Vassé, Fréculf de Lisieux, Hugues D'eu, Jean de Samois, Guillaume Aleaume, Henri-Ignace de Brancas. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Nicole Oresme, né à Allemagne (Fleury-sur-Orne depuis 1916) vers 1325 et mort à Lisieux le 11 juillet 1382, est un économiste, mathématicien, physicien, astronome, philosophe, psychologue, musicologue, théologien et traducteur français. Je ne sais donc que je ne sais rien. Surnommé l'« Einstein du siècle », ce savant en avance sur son temps, dont les idées préludaient à celles de la Renaissance, a été un des principaux fondateurs et vulgarisateurs des sciences modernes, et probablement le penseur le plus original de son siècle. On ne sait pratiquement rien sur sa famille. Le fait qu'il ait fait ses études au collège de Navarre, établissement commandité et subventionné par le roi pour les étudiants trop pauvres pour payer leurs frais de scolarité à l'université de Paris constitue une indication probable de ses origines paysannes. Toute sa vie se déroula durant la guerre de Cent Ans, la Normandie étant alors souvent occupée par l'Angleterre. Il étudie les « artes » à Paris (avant 1348), avec Jean Buridan (reconnu comme le fondateur de l'école française de philosophie naturelle), Albert de Saxe et peut-être Marsile d'Inghen et reçoit son Magister Artium. En 1348, il étudie la théologie à Paris. Il obtient son doctorat en 1356 et devient, la même année, grand-maître du Collège de Navarre. La plupart de ses traités latins les plus intéressan...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
