The composition of the fourth book is in no way inferior to that of the other four books already analysed. Its three major sections, each containing five psalms, are organised in a concentric fashion; they are linked by two short sections which constitute the focal points of the ellipse that the whole book draws. The extreme sections are related. The first section (Ps 90-94) describes "the fate of the children of Adam", the last one (Ps 102-106) "the fate of the children of Israel". All are subject to the law of human affliction. They are like the grass that flourishes in the morning and withers and dries up in the evening; and sin accompanies frailty. As the refuge of humanity from generation to generation, the Lord saves people by satisfying those who fear him for many days and by assuring his faithfulness to the children of their children, from age to age. Despite their repeated unfaithfulness, God does not grow weary of forgiving them. The central section (Ps 96-100) stands out from the rest of the book, which it overshadows. All peoples are called to come to Jerusalem to worship the King of the universe and to bless him who has saved the chosen people from among all the families of the earth. Carried by the promise of the one God and by the hope of the one people, this invitation is situated on the unattained, but always desired eschatological horizon. The focal points of the ellipsis (Ps 95 and Ps 101) are the key to reading the book. The first one focuses on a wish addressed to humans: "Today if you would only listen to his voice" (Ps 95:7). The second one poses a question to God: "When will you come to me?" (Ps 101:2). Therefore, the whole fourth book is captured in this tension between God's desire and human desire, each going to meet the other, in a "today" whose fragility places every human being between the morning when the grass flourishes and the evening when it dries up, between the time of the fathers, which the last section evokes at length, the time of sin and forgiveness, and the time of salvation and of the end, which the central section contemplates.

The table of contents of this volume is available on our Peetes Online Journals website. The ARAM Society has laid the foundation for the study of continuity between the Aramaic civilisation and other different Syro-Mesopotamian civilisations. ARAM Conferences, however, show how closely intertwined they are, and that the Aramaic civilisation would not have flourished without an intellectual cross-fertilisation. ARAM work clearly shows that the different civilisations of the Syro-Mesopotamian area have been strongly connected to each other throughout the ages. Therefore, ARAM will continue to explore the many connections between these different civilisations in order to demonstrate that the Syro-Mesopotamian man is born out of a process of cultural continuity uninterrupted since the beginning of history. Cultural interchange is a concept of great interest to ARAM. The academic work of ARAM is a multidisciplinary one for it combines many different scholarly fields such as archaeology, history, arts, religions, philosophy, literatures and linguistics. All papers, which are sent for publication in our refereed journal, are subject to editorial review.

Le Memoire XIX de la Societe de Linguistique de Paris reunit des etudes consacrees a l'evolution grammaticale a travers les langues romanes. En comparant divers aspects de l'evolution des composantes de la grammaire des langues romanes, en particulier la morpho-syntaxe du sujet pronominal, le marquage de l'objet direct, la categorie du verbe, les conjonctions de subordination et le vocatif, les differentes contributions envisagent des phenomenes de restructuration face aux conservatismes, des parallelismes face aux disparites. L'approche est enrichie, dans certaines des etudes, par une mise en perspective avec les langues germaniques et balkaniques, qui met en relief la position singuliere du roumain, langue romane sous influence balkanique.
