Intitule modestement: recueil de documents relatifs la levitation du corps humain, ce livre va bien au-dela, car il esquisse des theories pour expliquer le phenomene et aborde notamment l'idee que la suspension magnetique serait a l'origine de certaines levitations. Plein de curiosite scientifique et affranchi des prejuges de la science de son epoque, Rochas d'Aiglun a balaye large, recherchant partout les temoignages de levitations sans se laisser impressionner dans ses analyses par les contextes parfois mystiques ou il les a trouves. Il nous livre des documents a propos des sages et des yogis de l'Inde, d'autres tires de l'histoire profane et religieuse de l'Occident, et d'autres encore provenant des hagiographes. Puis, il presente les informations contemporaines sur la question, appuyees par une impressionnante quantite de temoins de valeur: medecins renomes, academiciens, ancien eleve de Polytechnique et jusqu'au fameux criminologue Lombroso. Il termine son etude en presentant les differentes theories proposees pour expliquer rationnellement le phenomene de la levitation. Il rapproche ce phenomene de celui provoque par la foudre qui emporte quelquefois a grande distance des objets ou des corps vivants, et invite, depuis 1897, les scientifiques a reflechir a cette question au lieu de nier la realite. Bien qu'il existe desormais des trains a suspension magnetique, qui circulent grande vitesse et sans contact avec leurs rails, c'est à dire en levitation, le mot meme de levitation fait toujours sourire la plupart des scientifiques serieux. Et pourtant, est-ce vraiment bien serieux de nier et donc de ne pas explorer des realites qui depassent l'entendement scientifique commun, mais qui pourraient permettre a la science de faire un bond spectaculaire dans ses realisations concretes?

This volume examines one of Rome's most influential churches: the principal basilica dedicated to St Paul. Nicola Camerlenghi traces nearly two thousand years of physical transformations to the church, from before its construction in the fourth century to its reconstruction following a fire in 1823. By recounting this long history, he restores the building to its rightful place as a central, active participant in epochal political and religious shifts in Rome and across Christendom, as well as a protagonist in Western art and architectural history. Camerlenghi also examines how buildings in general trigger memories and anchor meaning, and how and why buildings endure, evolve, and remain relevant in cultural contexts far removed from the moment of their inception. At its core, Saint Paul's exemplifies the concept of building as a process, not a product: a process deeply interlinked with religion, institutions, history, cultural memory, and the arts. This study also includes state-of-the-art digital reconstructions synthesizing a wealth of historical evidence to visualize and analyze the earlier (now lost) stages of the building's history, offering glimpses into heretofore unexamined parts of its long, rich life.

This second volume begins with the dawn of the eighteenth century, and relates how the Congregation of the Mission, founded by St. Vincent de Paul, worked to remain faithful to his vision while adapting itself to the demands of ecclesiastical and political life in France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Portugal, overseas missions in North Africa and the Mascarenes, as well as the missions taken up after the suppression of the Jesuits in the Middle East and China. Among other problems, the Missioners found themselves in the middle of fights over Jansenism, but tempered by the success of the canonization of Saint Vincent de Paul. This is an important, down-to-earth side of history not often told.
