A selection of 16 French-Canadian myths having been collected and transcribed by C. Marius Barbeau and translated into English by E. F. E. Lacharity. The original work having been published in the Journal of American Folklore. Artwork by T.W. Curtis.

This is a new critical edition of the legal treatise by John of Ibelin, count of Jaffa and Ascalon (died 1266). John was a leading magnate in the Latin East, and his first-hand experience of the courts meant that he was well-placed to write authoritatively on his subject. His work is in French and describes in detail the procedures of the High Court of the kingdom of Jerusalem, and the law as administered there. The treatise has long been recognized as being of fundamental importance for the legal, institutional and social history of the Latin settlements in the Levant, and this is the first edition to take into account all the surviving medieval manuscripts and the first to be published since 1841.

Surveying the most influential developments in the field, this proceedings reviews the latest research on algebras and their representations, commutative and non-commutative rings, modules, conformal algebras, and torsion theories. The volume collects stimulating discussions from world-renowned names including Tsit-Yuen Lam, Larry Levy, Barbara Osofsky, and Patrick Smith. Sample Chapter(s).

Cette nouvelle bibliographie donne la liste de tous les exemplaires de toutes les éditions des oeuvres de Rabelais parues avant 1626 et que l'on a pu repérer. Sont étudiés aussi les ouvrages édités par Rabelais et les ouvrages proto-rabelaisien ou apocryphes. Chacune de ces 148 éditions (identifiées et décrites selon les normes de la bibliographie dite "anglo-saxonne") est étudiée en détail. L'importance de chaque édition pour la transmission, le développement et la corruption des textes rabelaisiens est mise en relief. C'est à partir de ce travail qu'une nouvelle édition critique de textes de Rabelais sera établie. A l'aide cette bibliographie il est enfin possible de comprendre d'une façon plus sûre le destin de Rabelais, de ses oeuvres, et la création des légendes au sujet de Maistre François.

Contains decisions of the various courts of Quebec and includes a few cases of earlier date.

The 12 lectures presented in Representation Theories and Algebraic Geometry focus on the very rich and powerful interplay between algebraic geometry and the representation theories of various modern mathematical structures, such as reductive groups, quantum groups, Hecke algebras, restricted Lie algebras, and their companions. This interplay has been extensively exploited during recent years, resulting in great progress in these representation theories. Conversely, a great stimulus has been given to the development of such geometric theories as D-modules, perverse sheafs and equivariant intersection cohomology. The range of topics covered is wide, from equivariant Chow groups, decomposition classes and Schubert varieties, multiplicity free actions, convolution algebras, standard monomial theory, and canonical bases, to annihilators of quantum Verma modules, modular representation theory of Lie algebras and combinatorics of representation categories of Harish-Chandra modules.
