It is a real pleasure for all of us who have prepared and organised this Colloquium to welcome such an unexpectedly great number of participants. Indeed the Paris Colloquium seems to break all records in the recent history of the “Board Game Studies” meetings. We are nearly one hundred! Of course we are aware that Paris is not a common place, and that her attraction is powerful. But The organising team / L’équipe organisatrice we are very greateful to those who have helped us spreading the word and inviting their colleagues and correspondents to come. Thierry Depaulis, Lider Máximo / Grand Timonier The number of papers is also quite impressive.

And for those who do not understand English, French versions have Paul Lequesne, Official Russian Interpreter and Translator / Interprète et Traducteur Officiel pour been prepared too. le russe All this was not obvious when we started thinking about it, some years ago. Our most difficult task was to find venues: Paris is a complex city, and we had no academic support. Finally we found the Those who have helped us / Ceux qui nous ont aidés FIAP Jean-Monnet Center1 – which bears the name of “a chief architect of European Unity”. Friday will be a special day, since we will have the privilege to visit two major public collections, Michel Amandry (BnF) the celebrated “Cabinet des Médailles” of the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Departments Béatrice André-Salvini (Louvre) of Oriental and Egyptian Antiquities in the Louvre, both preserving board games and accessories.2 Mathilde Avisseau-Broustet (BnF) Laurence Hamelin (Louvre) Then we will all meet at the “Au Moulin Vert” Restaurant in the evening.

Nous avons dû déplacer toutes les dis- XIIIXIII BBOOARDARD GGAMEAME cussions à la fin de chaque séance simplement pour faire plus de place à d’autres intervenants.

PPARISARIS –– 1144--1177 AAPRILPRIL 22001100 Ce Colloque est aussi remarquable car il offre deux langues de travail – nous avons toujours tenu les précédents en anglais seulement. Quelques communications seront ainsi présentées en français: des résumés en anglais sont fournis dans la présente brochure. Et pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas l’anglais, des versions françaises ont aussi été préparées. Tout cela n’avait rien d’évident quand nous avons commencé à y réfléchir, il y a quelques années. Notre tâche la plus difficile a été de trouver un lieu: Paris est une ville complexe, et nous n’avons eu aucune aide institutionnelle. Finalement, nous avons trouvé le Centre FIAP Jean-Monnet1 – qui porte le nom d’un des pères fondateurs de l’Union Européenne. Vendredi sera un jour spécial, car nous aurons le privilège de visiter deux collections publiques Advice to Speakers majeures, le célèbre “Cabinet des Médailles” de la Bibliothèque nationale de France et les Départe- ments des Antiquités Orientales et Égyptiennes du Louvre, qui conservent toutes les deux des jeux Speakers are reminded that their talks are limited to 25 minutes. de pions et des accessoires2.

Merci de respecter cette durée. Les présidents de séance sont invités à regarder l’heure. Un vidéoprojecteur et un ordinateur portable sont à votre disposition. Une aide sera fournie si nécessaire.

  • Solomon Islands
    Conserved coconut germplasm from Solomon Islands Genebank Contact Dodo Creek Research Station Country member of COGENT PO Box G13 Dr Jimie Saelea Honiara Director, Research Solomon Islands Ministry of Agriculture and Primary Industries PO Box G13, Honiara Solomon Islands Phone: (677) 20308 / 31111 / 21327 Fax: (677) 21955 / 31037 Email: [email protected] The Solomon Islands is a country in Melanesia, east of Papua New Guinea, consisting of nearly 1000 islands. Together they cover a land mass of 28,400 km². As of 2006, the vast majority of the 552,438 people living on the Solomon Islands are ethnically Melanesian (94.5%) followed by Polynesian (3%) and Micronesian (1.2%). A history of the coconut industry in Solomon Islands is given by Ilala (1989). Since the ethnic tension in 1998, copra and cocoa have been the focus of most international extension and development projects. Moves to introduce high-yielding hybrids were unsuccessful in most cases because of resistance by farmers, poor husbandry and susceptibility to pest, disease and weed infestation. Coconut research has been carried out since 1952 in the Solomon Islands. In 1960 a Joint Coconut Research Scheme was established by the Solomon Island Government and the Levers company, Russell Islands Plantation Estates Ltd, based at Yandina, Central Province. A seed garden for the production of Dwarf x Tall hybrids seednuts was producing up to 240,000 seednuts a year. Sixteen coconut varieties were also conserved at Yandina, until the blaze at the Dodo Creek Research Station in 2000. Levers was the largest single producer and buyer of copra and cocoa in the country (and the largest employer), but the company was declared bankrupt in 2001.

August Poniatowski, unterstellt wird, dessen Wappen auf Herz-Bube zu sehen ist. Nach der napoleonischen Niederlage bei Leipzig 1813 besetzen die russischen Truppen das Land, das der Wiener Kongress 1815 endgültig Russland zuschlägt. Es besteht als sogenanntes Kongress-Polen bis 1863, danach als Weichselland bis 1918.

Berg Collection, The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations. Saturday March 11th 1815: Received this morning from my father the following letter: Lord Cochrane has escaped from prison1 – Bounaparte has escaped from Elba2 – I write this from the House of Commons and the intelligence in both cases seems to rest on good authority and is believed. Benjamin Hobhouse Both are certainly true. Cullen3 came down today and confirmed the whole of both. From the first I feel sure of Napoleon’s success. I received a letter [from] Lord John Townshend4 apologising for his rudeness, but annexing such comments as require a hint from me at the close of the controversy. Sunday March 12th 1815: Finish reading the Αυτοχεδιοι Ετοχασµοι of Coray.5 1: Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald (1775-1860) admiral. Implicated unfairly in a financial scandal, he had been imprisoned by the establishment enemies he had made in his exposure of Admiralty corruption. He was recaptured (see below, 21 Mar 1815). He later became famous as the friend and naval assistant of Simon Bolivar. 2: Napoleon left Elba on March 26th. 3: Cullen was a lawyer friend of H., at Lincoln’s Inn. 4: Lord John Townshend. (1757-1833); H. has been planning to compete against his son as M.P. for Cambridge University, which has made discord for which Townshend has apologised.

Chaque fois qu’il a touché des cartes à jouer, c’était avec une féroce envie de gagner. Mais ne nous trompons pas, car au-delà du jeu, cet inégalable bridgeur, a su mener de main de maître une entreprise industrielle peu commune. Le titre de Maître cartier lui revient quand il reprend en 1989 la marque de fabricant de cartes à jouer « France Cartes » descendante elle-même de la célèbre maison « Grimaud ». Yves Weisbuch fera de cette entreprise, un empire. Il débute sa collection dès sa jeunesse par goût du jeu, bien entendu, mais également par curiosité.
