Sommario/riassunto

The original documents that make up the Peter J. Braun Russian Mennonite Archive were assembled in the Molochna Mennonite settlement in southern Ukraine between 1917 and 1929. Named in honour of Peter J. Braun, a leading educator and the person most intimately involved in the establishment and development of the archive, it was created by Russian Mennonites to foster historical consciousness and research at a time when their community and land were being threatened by Russian extremist nationalists as part of a campaign against imperial Germany. Confiscated by Soviet authorities in 1929, the archive disappeared from public view for more than sixty



years. It was rediscovered in 1990 in the state archives in Odessa; in 1990 and 1991, the entire archive was microfilmed and brought to Canada.The collection consists of more than 130,000 pages of documents, organized in some 3,000 chronologically arranged files. By far the most extensive collection of in-group Russian Mennonite sources surviving from the Imperial period, it spans a wide range of subjects concerning the largest and most influential Mennonite community in Russia. The archive provides fresh and concrete detail on the Russian Mennonite story, the development of the Black Sea Steppe frontier, and ethnic and religious minorities in southern Ukraine.The guide to this unique primary source material consists of a historical introduction, a detailed listing and description of the contents, a guide to the use of the microfilm (tables, keys, and a glossary), as well as illustrations and maps.

Sommario/riassunto

Auguste Prouvensal de Saint-Hilaire (1779-1853) débarque au Brésil en décembre 1816 avec la délégation du Duc de Luxembourg, au moment où ce pays s’ouvre plus largement aux scientifiques et artistes étrangers. Il revient en France six ans plus tard après avoir réuni des collections d’histoire naturelle (plantes, animaux, minéraux), et recueilli un nombre important de données sur l’histoire, la géographie physique, les langues indigènes et l’usage des produits naturels. Les historiens et les biologistes brésiliens considèrent aujourd’hui que les descriptions qui figurent dans ses récits de voyages, constituent un état des lieux des paysages et de la société brésilienne essentiel à la connaissance de ce grand pays. Dans ce livre, le regard croisé des scientifiques et des historiens, français et brésiliens, dessine la figure originale d’un savant botaniste et explorateur dont la démarche scientifique peut être qualifiée de moderne. La publication annotée de Réponse aux reproches que les gens du monde font à l’étude de la botanique (Orléans, 1811) et de larges extraits d’un de ses cahiers de récolte permet aux lecteurs de mieux appréhender les concepts et la démarche de ce botaniste mal connu. Une bibliographie exhaustive et annotée complète cet ouvrage, en français et en portugais, très largement illustré.  Botanist Auguste Prouvensal de Saint-Hilaire landed in Brazil with the delegation of the Duc de Luxembourg in December, 1816, when this country was first opening more widely to foreign scientists and artists. He returned to France six years later having gathered significant natural history collections (of plants, animals, and minerals) and a great deal of information on the region’s history, physical geography, and uses of its natural products. In this bilingual French-Portuguese book, contemporary French and Brazilian historians and biologists explore how the descriptions that appear in this little-known botanist and explorer’s writings not only provide a window…
