Une copie de la Muqaddima de l'exemplaire du Kitāb al-'Ibar offert par Ibn-Haldūn à l'Université Al-Qarawiyîn de Fès
No full textA copy of the Muqaddima of the lost Kitäb al-'Ibar given by Ibn Haldün to the Al-Qarawiyln University at Fes.
First noticed in the 18th century by al-Maggarf, the so called « Fes manuscript » of the Kitäb al-'Ibar took the Orientalists' attention in the early 19th century. Unfortunately for almost a hundred years it was not accessible to scholars and when they could look at, out of the seven books send by Ibn Haldün himself from Cairo to the library of the well-known al-Qarawijin University at Fes, two only were surviving, may be three according to a description given on 1961. The contradictory informations about these two or three items are not enough for scholars and the most quoted manuscript of Ibn Haldün's historical work remains anyway the less known.
The original manuscript is now incomplete but its copies, and those especially containing the lost parts, have unfortunately been thoroughly neglected. There are actually many of them, one of which is a copy acquired in 1841 by the Bibliothèque nationale of Paris. This manuscript, which the author has discovered, containing the Prolegomena and being certainly a direct copy of the lost original, will take a very important part in the text tradition.Signalé au XVIIe siècle par al-Maqqarî, le manuscrit du Kitäb al-'Ibar dit « manuscrit de Fès » attira l'attention des orientalistes dès le début du XIXe siècle. Mais, durant un siècle encore, il demeurera inaccessible aux chercheurs. Et quand, au XIXe siècle, ils purent le consulter, il n'en subsistait plus que deux volumes — trois selon une notice publiée en 1961 — sur les sept envoyés du Caire par Ibn Haldün lui-même à la bibliothèque de la célèbre Université al-Qarawiyîn. Mais les descriptions contradictoires de ces deux ou trois volumes laissent sur sa faim le chercheur scrupuleux. Ainsi, le manuscrit le plus décrit de l'œuvre historique d'Ibn Haldün reste encore le moins bien connu.
L' « original » étant incomplet, on se serait attendu à ce que l'on s'intéressât à ses copies, et tout spécialement à celles des parties considérées comme perdues. Il n'en est malheureusement rien. Or, il en existe de nombreuses parmi lesquelles celle entrée à la Bibliothèque nationale en 1841 et qui ne fut jamais identifiée. Elle représente les Prolégomènes dont l'original n'a pas encore été retrouvé. C'est dire l'importance de ce manuscrit que nous regardons, par ailleurs, comme une copie directe de cet original.Redjala Mbarek.

Les Barghwâta (origine de leur nom)
No full textAbstract The North African Middle Ages will long remain obscure and muddled if we do not tackle the attentive and close examination of the texts and if we continue to content ourselves with generalities. The «dark ages» are dark only because we merely skim over them to build brilliant and seductive theories at the expense of populations who cannot protest. Much has been written on the Barghwâta and much is repetitive. Monsters for some people, Berber nationalists for others, nearly everybody more or less agreeing in accepting that their name comes from Rio Barbât in Spain, where one of them was supposedly born. I have tried through texts and by resorting to toponymy and onomastics, to give an explanation of this name that is closer to the historico-linguistic reality of the Maghrib during the medieval period.Résumé Le Moyen-Âge nord-africain demeurera encore longtemps obscur et désordonné tant que nous ne nous attaquerons pas à l'examen attentif et serré des textes et que nous continuerons à nous satisfaire de généralités. Les «siècles obscurs» ne le sont que parce que nous nous contentons de les survoler pour construire des thèses brillantes et séduisantes aux frais de populations qui ne peuvent pas protester. L'on a écrit beaucoup sur les Barghwâta et l'on s'est très souvent répété. Des monstres pour les uns, des nationalistes berbères pour d'autres, presque tous s'accordant plus ou moins à accepter qu'ils tiennent leur nom d'un des leurs qui serait né à Rio Barbât, en Espagne. J'essaie, par les textes et en faisant appel à la toponymie et à l'onomastique, de donner une explication de ce nom plus conforme à la réalité historico-linguistique du Maghreb à l'époque médiévale.Redjala Mbarek.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
