Les Sciences du langage en France au XXe siècle (2e édition revue et augmentée).

The volume contains the editio princeps of two fragments of the Old Nubian Martyrdom of Saint George: the first concerns the saint's torture in the cauldron, and the second is from his final prayer. For each text, the editor provides transcription, translation and commentary, as well as a hypothetical Greek Vorlage; in addition, he assembles pertinet parallel passages not only from Greek sources, but also from those in Latin, Coptic (Sahidic and Bohairic), Arabic, Syriac, Armenian, Ethiopic and Georgian. Indices Verborum and photographs of both of the Old Nubian fragments conclude the work, which should be of great interest to theologians, orientalists, Africanists, linguists and philologists.
