Bibliographie juridique luxembourgeoise 1997-2013
Dans une série commencée il y plus de cinquante ans et dix-sept ans après sa dernière parution, la 4e édition de la Bibliographie juridique luxembourgeoise recense la production doctrinale luxembourgeoise sur la période 1997-2013, laquelle a pris une ampleur inégalée jusqu’alors, à la mesure de l’inflation normative et de la complexité croissante du droit. Le début de la période couverte correspond également à la création de l’Université du Luxembourg dont la faculté de droit, d’économie et de finance apporte une réflexion nouvelle à l’analyse du droit luxembourgeois, s’ajoutant à celle des praticiens. À l’instar des éditions précédentes, cette bibliographie juridique est agrémentée d’un index analytique, d’une table des matières et des auteurs, afin de faciliter sa consultation. Compilation unique en son genre au Grand-Duché, elle offre à tous ceux désireux de connaître ou d’approfondir l’état du droit luxembourgeois sur une question déterminée une clef d’accès unique aux nombreux et riches écrits qui lui sont consacrés.
European Transformations
Medievalists explore geographical regions and themes to expose the best current thinking about what was and what was not distinctive about the twelfth century.
The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West: Volume 2
Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. Volume 2 of The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.

The European Insolvency Regulation
After many years of negotiations among Member States, a uniform set of private international law rules has been established to determine the conduct of cross-border insolvency proceedings within the European Community. This is the European Insolvency Regulation of May 2000. Although each state still retains its own insolvency law, the regulation greatly reduces the risk of opportunistic behaviour by providing certainty as to which European courts have jurisdiction to open insolvency proceedings and which state?s laws apply, in addition to ensuring the cross-border effectiveness within the EU of the decisions handed down by those courts. This in-depth commentary offers practitioners in intern...
Prince of Europe
The Habsburg courtier Charles-Joseph Prince de Ligne seduced and symbolized eighteenth-century Europe. Speaking French, the international language of the day, he travelled between Paris and St Petersburg, charming everyone he met. He stayed with Madame du Barry, dined with Frederick the Great and travelled to the Crimea with Catherine the Great. But Ligne was more than a frivolous charmer. He participated in and recorded some of the most important events and movements of his day: the Enlightenment; the struggle for mastery in Germany; the decline of the Ottoman Empire; the birth of German nationalism; and the wars to liberate Europe from Napoleon. He had surprisingly radical views, believing for example in property rights for women, legal rights for Jews and the redistribution of wealth. He was also a highly respected writer and his books on gardens, his letters from the Crimea and his epigrams are considered minor classics of French literature.
