Full textThe edition of prologues and the census of the commentaries of the psalms written in the Middle Age indicate a fascination which raises question. The analysis of four parameters _ the book (biblical, liturgical, devotionnal Psalter), its pratices (liturgy, devotion, practice funerary, penance, magic) its intelligence (reading, memorizing, eaching, exegesis), its sociology (reception by the laity, the nobility, the women, clerks, monks)_ brings to light, between 7th and 15th century, the emergence in Western Europe of a civilisation of the Psalter, increasing with the evangelization of Europe and monastic live, culmination int 12th century, then decreasing slowly. In the schools, the meeting Between religion and the reason accentuates separation between the popular and the clerical practices. The Psalte ris imitated by Rosary, replaced by Books of hours and marial devotion, while the clergy prefers studying exegesis ans theology tha to ting psalms
Sitbon, Suzy. "Interdit de la représentation dans le judaïsme et création artistique : leçons des bibles médiévales de l'Espagne." Paris, EPHE, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005EPHE5006.
Full textDo no graven images in the Judaism open another way of artistic creation toward abstraction and transcendence? We fix our choice on Massoretic Bibles of the Iberian Peninsula whose ornamentation I built on geometrical forms drawn by the Massore without figurative representation (Bibliothèque national de France, Hebrew 11-13-14-15-20-22-24-25-1314-1315 et 5-6 – 10 ; Bibliothèque municipale de Marseille, MS 1626/II et British Library OR 2201-2626-2628 et la Bible anciennement Sassoon 508). Four conceptualized and tested methods give another access to these ornaments. No graven images has opened the way to a visual artistic system on the move. The reader who stands himself gazing at these forms sprinfs up the image thanks to an inner physical, intellectual and spiritual moving. These bibles conceal a scriptural exegesis or mystical meaning in visible or hidden ways
Bellamah, Timothy, and Guillaume d'Alton. "L'oeuvre exégétique de Guillaume d'Alton : étude et édition des textes." Paris, EPHE, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008EPHE5013.
Full textThe Dominican William of Alton was regent master at Paris during the mid-thirteenth century and an important representative of university exegesis. The writings ascribed to him, consisting of biblical commentaries and sermons, pose numerous problems of attribution. This study proposes to move beyond the resulting ambiguity by considering as yet unexamined sources of information, specifically, by supplementing available external manuscript evidence with the indications of each commentary’s methodology, exegetical concerns and style. Rather than pretend to make definitive determinations with respect to every commentary’s authorship, this study sets for itself the more modest task of constituting a list of works the authenticity of which can be a matter of reasonable confidence, and this to provide a basis for studying William of Alton’s exegesis and theology. The discussions concerning the commentaries bring into view a broad picture of William’s work. Even by the standards of his genre, William displayed a particularly keen attentiveness to the literal sense of the text he commented. Towards the end of discerning it, he made use of an elaborate range of techniques for textual, linguistic and rhetorical analysis. He also went about his exegetical project with a corresponding attentiveness to the demands of assimilating the diverse elements of the exegetical and theological tradition within which he stood. This study includes an edition of the first eleven chapters of William’s commentary Super Iohannem as well as editions of the prologues to his commentaries Super Ecclesiasten, Super Jeremiam and Super Ezechielem. Also included is the edition of one of two prologues that were diffused with his commentary Super Sapientiam (the other appears in numerous printed editions of this work under the name of Bonaventure)

Full textBecause of silent in the canonical book on the life of the virgin, mediaeval authors try to supply the blank with theological thought or with apocrypha. Marian literature is the reflect of this tendency. In middle ages, apocrypha is introduced in French literature also through the Legenda aurea, or through the Mediationes vitae Christi or the Vita Iesu Christi

They also show in a very realistic way the pratices of land surveying in the early 15th century
Laget, Frédérique. "La perception de la mer dans l'Europe du Nord-Ouest à la fin du Moyen Age (XIIIe-XVe siècles)." Nantes, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011NANT3018.
Full textThis dissertation aims at analysing the representations and conceptions of the sea in North-Western Europe. It mainly focuses on areas stretching along the Channel, the North Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean, during the transitional period between Central Middle Ages and Modern Times. The study firstly considers scholarly perspectives over the sea. Generally speaking, scholars only knew it through ancient sciences and the Scriptures. They were mainly interested in the movement of waves, nautical practices and the mysteries of the deep sea. In spite of knowledge advances at the time, the sea was still conceived of as a periphery of the world). Secondly, the emphasis will be laid on those living by the sea and their perception of it. From their point of view, the coastal environment was characterized by both the danger of flood and the opportunity of getting extra resources. Finally, the sailors’ standpoints will be examined. To them, the sea was an open space where time was somehow dilated. As far as the European sovereigns were concerned, they gradually regarded the sea as a connecting route. At the very end) of the Middle Ages, not only was the sea considered as useful, but also as necessary. Thus, what may be called a mental appropriation of the sea progressively took place in the 13th-15th century period, eventually leading to the crossing of the Ocean and the huge fleets of the modern period
Livini, Andrea. "Étude de la circulation de la Cena Cypriani durant le Moyen-Âge (avec édition de textes)." Paris, EHESS, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011EHES0006.
Full textMy doctoral thesis is entirely dedicated to the study of the Cena Cypriani, a bizarre and comic text that proposes a strange biblical parody, depicted as a biblical banquet. The first part of my doctoral thesis is completely dedicated to the original text, wherein I study the tradition of the manuscripts of the Cena and where I propose some critical studies of its codices in order to provide a new critical edition of the text (see pages 364-402). Following this, l propose some literary, linguistic and sociologie studies of the text by demonstrating that the Cena Cypriani was a very complex literary exercise. During my research, I had the possibility of posing the question about the Cena’s literary sources, as for example, the Iudicium Ceci et Pistoris and the Testamentum Porcelli. Through this, l was able to elaborate the hypothesis that the Cena took place during the Vth century, written to entertain the elites, most likely during banquets. In the second part of my thesis, I tried to understand the reason of the Cena's circulation during the Middle Ages. The Early Medieval re-writing of the Cena Cypriani - the Cena Hrabani and the Cena Nuptialis - represents very important instruments for my research because they allow me to understand the continuity between the two texts ; they were very useful to understand the didactic and religious function of the Cena and to justify its medieval transmission and importance
Shimahara, Sumi, and Haymon d'Auxerre. "Exégèse et politique dans l'oeuvre d'Haymon d'Auxerre." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040119.
Full textIn this dissertation, we first state the authenticity and establish the - previously unpublished - text of the Adnotatio breuis in Danielem. We then provide a French translation and at last show how the fruitful achievements of the Carolingian revival are enlightened by Haimo’s practice of exegesis. Indeed, since the thought of the Fathers eventually became part of the common background by that time, Haymo was able to build and shape personal commentaries on biblical texts. As his consistent use of the theodulfian recension shows - a text that was hardly available at all -, he was deeply concerned with accuracy in the Bible. Later, he was plundered by the Glossa ordinaria and constantly read from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. The main lines of thought we stress here are the following. As a commentator upon the Prophets, he adapts their admonitio to his own time by exalting monastic holiness. When it comes to the relationships between secular and spiritual power, Haymo understates the responsibility of the secular power while emphasizing the religious one. The Carolingian reforming movement that was encouraged by the kings thus finally turns against these in the works of Haymo. Therefore, the ecclesiological point of view already defended by Haymo can be seen as a forerunner of his Xth- XIth century colleagues’ thought
Boucaud, Pierre. "Praecipiente principe : exégèse doctrinale et théologique carolingienne (VIII ème-Xème siècle) : présentation, édition critique du "Tractatuc in Epistolas ad Corinthios" de Claude de Turin (821)." Paris 4, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008PA040177.
Full textAccording to its reformation policy, the Carolingian imperial power stimulates the revival of the Paulinian exegesis through Claudius of Turins Works. The de "spiritu et littera" commentaries have been influenced by scholastic traditions and, in line with the "libri Carolini", they expose a trinitarian thology that is opposed to the sensitive mediations of the sacred. The choice and the assembly of the quotations – sometimes with ideological changes – give to these texts an elitist doctrinal profile. It is a spiritual and radical admonitio that focuses on the unique divine sanctifying virtus. The methods and the contents of the Claudian commentaries have influenced some authors in the IXth and Xth centuries, but they made them to change because of the doctrinal debates, even if we can say that this kind of exegesis becomes more routine in the end of this period
Hellemans, Babette Sophie. "La forme et l'objet du livre : une lecture dynamique des bibles moralisées du XIIIe siècle." Paris, EHESS, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006EHES0149.
Full textThe four 13th century Bibles Moralisées are the fundament of this study. These books were on no account 'ordinary picture bibles' -they show us a highly sophisticated program of overall planning that is dynamic and very complex including an overwhelming number of interconnected images and texts, divided in a biblical paraphrase, systematically accompanied with a short commentary. Being a Bible, the diegetic reality of this work of art is to be found outside the object itself, somehow similar to a semiotic analysis of a motion picture: the Bible as an object is an open complex. While analysing the characteristic of its materiality, the present study observes how time (as readings in rhythm), is represented In these codices. In other words, through the particular lay-out of these Bibles, the presence of the Word III time and space is questioned, in a comparable way prescolastic scholars have questioned the presence of Christ during the celebration of the Eucharist
Royer-Hemet, Catherine. "Prédication et propagande : rencontre de deux phénomènes pendant la guerre de Cent Ans." Thesis, Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040279.
Full textPreaching and propaganda : those two phenomena were not originally meant to work together, all the more so during the Middle Ages when the former was very active and the latter did not have a lexical identity of its own. However, they did manage to meet on a frequent basis at the beginning of the Hundred Years war, particularly in the pulpit via enthusiastic sermons preached by men who were trying to reconcile the affairs of the secular as well as the spiritual world. The pro rege sermons were devised according to the strict technical rules of the artes praedicandi of the times and preached by men of the cloth, faithful servants of the State who enthusiastically defended the king’s cause and explained how just his war was. They did so with the tools of their trade, that is the strength of the Sacra Scriptura, whose acute knowledge helped them find the relevant passages so as to convince their audiences. The preachers did their best to fulfil the fundamentals of their task : docere, delectare, flectere. This doctrinal three-faceted tenet was worth remembering in wartime : according to Saint Augustine, teaching is necessary, pleasing is agreeable but winning over is the most important element

Full textThis research is an iconographic investigation and historical explanation of the religious mentalities of the period herein envisaged (XIth-XVIth centuries). The study aims to show the singularity of this theme overly neglected by historians and art historians for the benefit of other biblical themes more represented. The analysis required several areas of research: the image, the liturgy, the exegesis, the spirituality and also the literature depicting Christ in Emmaus by the yardstick of the spiritual, liturgical, cultural and artistic history of the Christian Western World. The areas of research deal with the implications of liturgical, sacramental order, and also the devotional and cultural aspects of the theme, such as they are revealed throughout the Western Middle Ages. The far-reaching significance of the changing perceptions, themes and variations of the relationships between iconography and « dramatic fact » influences the evolution of all areas of thought, literature and theatre as well as fundamental religious beliefs and interpretations. It is all the most important to understand how certain transfers are done in this context, in particular the evolution from the apparition of Christ to the « pilgrims » of Emmaus, whose image is shaped during this period

Full textThis thesis is devoted to wall images of the Virgin’s earthly life, an iconographic sequence composed of the young Mary’s history and episodes from Christ’s life which are related to the Virgin, until Pentecost. This research comes within the extended framework from the early Christian art to the Council of Trent. It is based on an abundant iconographic documentation which includes more than 2300 pictures, wall paintings and mosaics, preserved in France and Italy. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of the iconographic documentation, according to a triple point of view. A thematic analysis identifies three phases in the chronological sequence of the Virgin’s earthly life, while specifying the quantitative importance of each of the studied iconographic themes. An analysis of the geographical distribution of different listed conservation sites reveals spatial characteristics which are specific to each territory studied, in connection with local history. Finally, a chronological analysis allows to integrate wall images from great phases of the art history, as well as to highlight the most emblematic decorations. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the iconographic investigation itself. As preamble, the various textual sources used in this research are presented. They are grouped into three categories : canonical sources, apocryphal gospels and medieval texts. The iconographic analysis of different themes about the Virgin’s earthly life are organized around three sequences : episodes preceding Christ’s birth (youth of Mary and Incarnation), those of Jesus’ Childhood (from the Nativity to Jesus among the Doctors) and those of adult Christ in which Mary plays a role (from Wedding at Cana to Pentecost). This analysis’ objective is to determine the different components of studied iconographic themes and to establish their specific typology, while stressing constants and breakpoints. The highlighting of the links between images and textual sources is also a priority of this research. Cross-cutting issues related to the development of Marian iconography itself, the process of images diffusion, the perception of the Marian figure as an edifying model and the study of the link between images and texts or their location in the ecclesial space are presented in the form of concluding reflections. In parallel, a selection of wall images of the Virgin’s earthly life, chosen according to the analysis arguments for their exemplary nature, is represented as three catalogues matching narrative sequences mentioned above. The selective bibliography on the various conservation sites is presented in each catalogue. Other bibliographic tools are provided in appendices volume. A thematic directory, listing all the wall images that belong to the iconographic documentation of the study, is also provided in appendix

Full textThis thesis focuses on the in-depth study of representations of one of the greatest kings of the Old Testament: the King David. This doctoral work will try to explore the biblical figure in the arts of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Europe.The Holy Bible recounts the eventful life of this famous king who became, through centuries, a model for the christian princes. In fact, it fit perfectly with the aspirations of the princes who wanted to follow the example of this royal personage and appropriate his prestige. In this issue, the figure of David appears to be incredibly wide, successively little shepherd, anointed, brave warrior, musician and psalmist, king of Israel, women lover, sinner and penitent. Every facets of this complex character inspired, each in its own way, spiritual, political and artistic thought

Full textThe Bible is everywhere in medieval texts, but the ways it was precisely involved in the writing of those texts are still very much to be investigated. This dissertation sheds light on its uses in letter-collections composed within the “Angevin empire” in the second half of the 12th century. A few “causes celebres” led clerics, the “masters of the Word”, to fight one another; the conflict between Thomas Becket and Henry II is the most famous of those. Referring to Scripture was a choice, and not a reflex; those who made that choice used their biblical references, and the exegesis that illuminated their meaning, to foster their social position and relationhips and to fight their political battles, sometimes in rather sophisticated ways. The texts that would soon become the utmost authorities for canon law, Gratian’s Decretum and popes’ decretals, had not yet acquired such status, making possible for Becket and his companion to use the Bible, in an unusual and striking way, as their main legal auctoritas
Neyrinck, Axelle. "Le massacre des Innocents : constructions théologiques et usages polémiques (v. 800 - v.1300)." Paris, EHESS, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016EHES0123.
Full text« Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men » (Matthew 2, 16). This Gospel verse is the one and only Scriptural basis for what the Christian tradition has called the « Slaughter of the Holy Innocents ». This dissertation aims at understanding how a single biblical verse became an episode of the Incarnation narrative, then the object of devotions, and eventually a rhetorical element used in polemical contexts. Based on hagiographical sources, the identity of the Holy Innocents can not be fully understood (Part I). Therefore we propose to use the exegetical and liturgical sources to understand how the Massacre of the Innocents, a slaughter of Jewish children, was captured by Christianity thanks to a typological interpretation, and then built as an episode prefiguring all persecutions, real or assumed, that the Church would have to face (Part II). The staging and performance of this discourse produced by theologians fall under polemical and political uses (Part III) : The Massacre of the Innocents, built in the exegesis out of the « Christianization » of the Innocents and of the figure of Rachel associated with them, becomes part of the derogatory discourse against Jews from the twelfth century on

Full textThe purpose of this doctorate is to study the manuscripts and the prints of the Bible historiale, holy history written by Guyart des Moulins by the end of the XIIIth century from the Historia Scolastica by Petrus Comestor. The Bible historiale meets a great succeed during the XNth and XVth and we tried to collect ail the remaining manuscripts ail over the world -144 pieces. Proposais for classifications have been made to understand this production. By the end of the XVth century, the Bible historiale is printed by Antoine Vérard; then we get interested by the twenty-seven printed during the first half of the XVIth century. In the manuscripts and the prints, we get attached to Gomer, the wife of prophet Hosea, the first of the twelve Little Prophets of the Bible. A catalogue of her representations in the manuscripts of the Middle Age and in the prints of the first half of the XVIth century was established; it helps us to appreciate the importance of the Jerôme'comments in the representation of Gomer in the Bible historiale; the character is used to show first how fits the biblical kinship in the Bible, then to push up the cult of saint Anna and finally to contribute to promotion of the cult of Virgin Mary, by its participation to one of the most important quarrel of the time : the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, and by its valorization of the Christian "holy family"
Smilévitch, Éric. "Traduction et interprétation du livre des Proverbes à travers le Talmud et les commentaires juifs médiévaux." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014STRAC031/document.
Full textSince the Greek Septuagint, the biblical book Mishlei is translated "Book of Proverbs". But in the Jewish hermeneutic tradition, the correct translation is "parables". This new meaning changes the meaning of the whole book. It was therefore necessary to translate the Hebrew text of Mishlei on a new basis, following the Talmudic and midrashic hermeneutics, extended and developed in medieval times by commentators, philosophers and Jewish grammarians. Thus, we propose a new translation, with commentary and philological notes that explore the meanings of the Hebrew text including its metaphorical and allegorical layers. This translation is preceded by a long introduction devoted to locate the premises of Jewish hermeneutics, and to understand the literary and historical proces that prevent access, and create misunderstandings which Mishlei is a crucial example. An important part of the introduction is also devoted to methodological problems of translation of biblical writings

Full textOur thesis consists in two volumes ; the first one deals with the iconographic study and the analysis of text/image relationships in the arabic hippiatric manuscripts Khalīl Āghā 8 and Fatīh 3608/3609. The first one entitled kitāb al-baïtara of Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Ahnaf is stored at Dār al-kutub in Cairo and is dated of 1209. The second one of the same title as the first one is neither signed nor dated. It is kept in the Libary of the Süleymaniye in Istanbul. We have attempted to study these two manuscripts, so richly decorated, to discover what are the characteristics that link them together and what aspects separate them and also whether they are from the same author or not. In the second volume of this thesis, we transcribed the copy of the Cairo manuscript on computer to make it more readable and we have then translated it to French in order to make it accessible to non-Arabic researchers

Full textI intended to study miniatures created from the eight to the twelvth century. They belong to the various codices of the comment of the apocalypse, known as beatus. I selected fifteen out of the twenty two embellished codices wich keep well-preserved nowadays, on the basis of a corpus of seventeen illustrative themes. For that purpose, i founded my study on a semiotic point of vue which i adapted to iconography. I therefore analysed every sign and its spatial situation withinb the drawing. The main parts of my study are : a presentation of my corpus, of its author and of the historical context. An analytic part of the work which at first shows the rules of the work which at first shows the rules of the formal display arrangements in the middle-ages. I then tackled the problem of the interiority and exteriority shown by some drawing - which i called "containing-drawings" - using for that the framework of the drawing as well as a sign-symbology. Given that, i was able to study their meaning defending on the presence of the various constituents, i. E. Put back in their pictorial context, i considered them as elements of the whole drawing. I compared my conclusions with the interpretation offered by beatus of the apocalypse. As a conclusion, i came back to the role played by striped backgrounds and by colour, of which i tried to explain the functions. I ended by a historico-cultural actualization of the codices. The analysis of the signs and structures allows us to tackle and decode the politico-religious message conciously expressed by the painter. It also discloses the socio-cultural dimension in which lived the artist

Full textThe castellan family of Lusignan is a very good example of the French dynastic aristocracy's diaspora, with a lightning rise to power, at the turn of the 13th century. Its influence extended first to the Haut-Poitou and the Bas-Poitou and then members of the family successively seized the county of La Marche and the county of Angoulême and went on to impose their power in northern Aquitaine. Marriage alliances enabled them to add to their estates the county of Eu in Normandy, the county of Penthièvre and the lordships of Fougères and Porhoët, in Brittany, and, in the British Isles, the honours of Hastings and Tickhill, the bishopric of Winchester, the earldoms of Pembroke and Wexford. The crown of Jerusalem and its substitute the throne of Cyprus remain their biggest win, despite the fact that members of the dynasty were directly linked with the fall of the Holy City. This research looks at how this lineage rose and spread, and built both regional and transregional power bases. It explores the profound political solidarity which held together members of the various sublineages within the same familial group. This network of mutual support enhanced the potential of the family for domination and influence. The notion of « parentat » is created here, form a medieval latin term to refer to a political and territorial power grounded in the family connections which united several individuals into a group defined by its share identity and family markers, and the promotion of its, or its members', political and patrimonial interests

Full textThe period stretching from the end of the Xth century to the end of the XIIth century is a time of many changes. This is why it seems interesting to me to study the emergence of a code of colour for the body. My current research is based on the existing links between the colour and the body in medieval imagery. I pay particular attention to the colour of the naked body and its relationship with the colour of the clothing that it covers. Is there a link between these two "areas" of coulour, which are the skin and clothing ? Do the status of the various represented characters play a role in the choice of the colour of the body, naked and dressed ? How is the colour of body expressed in the image? What tricks can iconographically transcribe the colour of the skin ? However, the small number of manuscripts with colours remaining to this day, their state of conservation sometimes mediocre and the difficulty to access the sources make this study difficult, and has forced me to the utmost caution in my conclusions

Full textThis thesis examines how sanctity is constructed in Medieval Ireland, while it tries to place it in the frame of larger reflection about the notion of sanctifity in the Christian world. The study of birth tales of saints shows the ontological component of sanctity, which is particulary salient in Ireland. These texts take all their sense when they are compared to Biblical precedents and various Irish secular stories. On the other hand, the absence of martyrs during the conversion of the island, and the supposed existence of characters believing in God befor the coming of saint Patrick, permit to distinguish the elements of a sanctification of Ireland, which is presented as a new Promised Land and the Irish as a new Chosen People; at the same time, a corpus of legends tries to show an always earlier rise of Christianity in the island, operation that could be defined as ante-Christianization. Thus, a new function arises for the saints who become "historical mediators". The conversion is not anymore the passage from paganism to Christianity at a given time, but becomes a process that reinterprets previous events in order to integrate them into the Biblical History

Full textBetween 1413 and 1416, the chancellor of the University of Paris, Jean Gerson, tryes to highlight Joseph and to promote the feast of his wedding with the Virgin. He does this in a complicated political context: the one of the civil war between Armagnacs and Bourguignons, and the one of the Great Schism. To him, the divided powers should follow the example of Joseph, who is a model of union and peace. Before him, the Franciscans were the only persons who were realy interested in Joseph, finding in the earthly father of the Christ their ideal of poverty and service. In the same time, the religious iconography renews the vision of this character, giving to him a place sometimes surprising: we can see him cooking, washing, or warming himself by the fire. But he is also more and more associated with the Virgin, adoring the Children. Therefore, even before the expansion of the feast of Saint Joseph at the end of the XVth century, we can, observe a new interest for a character up till then very neglected. From the analysis of the theological and pastoral production, around Gerson and the Franciscans, and from an iconographical corpus centred on french illumination, this study proposes to think about the meaning of this new image of Joseph for a society confronted with an upheaval of its structures. Through this new image, we can see the construction of a reference for the human paternity, strumbled over lineages fragilisation, and over a feeling of distance to the all-powerful paternity of God. The study of this reference is a way to observe the image of paternity in the Latte Middle Ages. Joseph gives to it a model based on weakness, humility, and obedience to a divine mystery. For a divided society in search of marks, he proposes a model of union and peace, as well as a paternal image allowing to revive a genealogical principle needed by every established society

Full textThe blessings and magical spells of the Middle Ages shed a clear light upon men's vision of their lives in their surroundings. Their mainly dichotomic vision depicts a traditional balance between the Christian, civilized area and the devilish realm of savage Nature. This balance is constantly challenged by the interaction of the two, whether by unwitting contacts with natural taboo forces or by the action of malignant demons encountered on their way to people's homes despite their banishment from men's living sphere that was ordained by the mythical Master of Nature, Keeper of the celestial Keys. As a matter of fact, people considered illnesses to be caused by these evil demons. The medieval explanation for evil is, thus, also grounded on the recurring idea of facing up an outsider to the community. During the Middle Ages in particular, this notion came to define sickness as an event when one literally met the sacred however its form. These ecotypical encounters involved anthropomophous and zoomorphous figures embodying values relevant to the community. This regularly reveals people's need to find a close source of the sacred transpiring their own religious beliefs (imitatio dei). To some extant, this medieval vision of the world still prevails in the mind of many of us. Regardless its form, the generic figure of the other represents the outside element within the systemic opposition of notions that is necessary to maintain the essential values around which myths were founded and societies organized themselves

Full textHow did the existing relationship between health and dietetics affect both Arabic cooking and popular taste in cuisine during the period from the 9th to 14th centuries within the Islamic-Arabic world? This question was fundamental to the origin of the work. By focusing objectively upon cooking as a central theme of study, within the given geographic and chronological intervals, our interest in better understanding the impact of medical discourse via the kitchen medium and its integrative effect upon the way of life, led to the study outlined below. The work was separated into two parts. The first dealt with the understanding of the mode of integration of the Greek medical model into Arabic science to be redefined in particular for the two principal branches of medicine: pharmacology and dietetics. Subsequently, we have wonder about how scientific practices, such as medical treating, have been assimilated into an everyday activity, namely eating. In examining these questions it became a requirement of progress to perceive this daily act within a wider social dimension in order to comprehend the action of eating, not only as a compulsory activity or as a biological necessity but also as a determinant of social hierarchies. F food consumption is governed principally by economical factors, there is a remarkable homogeneity of the dietary habits of the food models and tastes for the social groups that we have taken into account (sick, poor, rich, itinerant and ordinary people). On the table of the noble, a meal appears to be an object of power and is used to affirm upper social hierarchy while beyond the court meals are generally governed by rules of hospitality and generosity and appear to be a ritualistic communion where the form is as important as the content

Full textDuring the high Middle Ages, friendship seems to have been synonymous with a highly institutionalized and ritualized personal relationship. This model allowed to apply an “imaginary” of emotion to the political sphere as well on a verbal as on a practical level. The present study tries to analyze the development and the mutual influences of this concept of friendship, which tends to get more individualized towards the Renaissance, and the highly personalized perception of politics based on an analysis of the friendship discourse from antiquity onwards. The study concentrates on Valois burgundy, which represents a central point in time and space as to our subject. The analysis of the so-called “burgundian historiography” (chronicles and memoires) as well as on their pictorial transpositions in manuscript illuminations which stem from this cultural milieu. The results show that the contemporaries distinguished the bond of friendship from parental relations. Nevertheless, it can be considered a “social institution” because of its intrinsic obligations which were universally recognized within the framework. Within this framework, its “uniting” force was seen as based on the influence of emotion, which guaranteed the engagement of the whole person. The gestures of physical proximity, like the kiss, the embracement, sleeping in the same bed, and riding on the same horse, served at the same time as exterior signs and as means to influence the emotional disposition of the individual

Full textThis doctorate focuses on "Women's armorial bearings from their beginnin to the XVIth century in France: sources, uses and function. As such as it falls within the long perspective movement of social history. In order to study this subject, it was necessary to compile a data base; a broad corpus of 1450 armorial bearings was therefore created. The archaeological and textual sources that were used came from various inventories of french seals, from Roger de Gaignières' drawings of tombs, stained glass and tapestries, from the armorial collections of Clermont en Beauvaisis and Le Breton, and from various heraldry treatises, including that of Jérôme Bara (1581); Following the examination of these sources, it was possible to analyze the use of armorial bearings by women in the Middle Ages. The study reveals that the heraldic elements used by women were consistent with the heraldic codification rules that existed in medieval society. The heraldic elements that were used were common. As a result, there was only one heraldic code for both men and women. It served the same administrative, legal, and social functions. Heraldry served as ornament but mostly as memory. Coats of arms began on the battlefield and served to identify the combatant. This function of designaion was themselves from a legal and social point of view, in a society that created the heraldic referential system. As a form of writin, armorial bearings define the identity of women and of related family groups

Full textThe study of childhood in the unstable period of the high middle age assesses the sanitary conditions of the young through some one thousand accounts of miracles. The first part centers on a study of the structure of the family, of the living condition of children who were threatened by high mortality rates, of the doubts concerning diet, and of early training in behavior. A hagiographical study endeavors to localize in time and space the activities of 280 saints, the majority of whom were European. These narratives are classified according of several medical categories of differing volumes. To which have been added some non-medical and so-called castigation miracles. In opposition to theses thousand miracles, an investigation of the "official" medicine of the period inherited from the latins and arabs seeks to find parallels in contemporary medical science despite its ever-increasing efficiency may at times require recourse to the request for a miracle

Full textAn early Christian symbol of Christ, the fish is first and foremost, in the medieval West, the food imposed by the Church during the numerous days of abstinence. But this Christian promotion fails to account for role in literature. The hermits in the novels content themselves with bread and water, while fish is served at the royal tables during lavish feasts. Moreover some recurrent species seem to take on special connotations. Why doesn't the Graal of Chrétien de Troyes contain either pike, or lamprey, or salmon ? What do the famous eels of the Roman de Renart evoke to the medieval public ? Where does the miraculous sturgeon, which keeps in its belly the hand of the heroine of the Roman de la Manekine come from ? The medieval discourse on the fish is anchored in a material and cultural context which became foreign to us. In order to reconstruct the background likely to explain literary allusions, we first question the terminology and the taxonomy used in encyclopaedic and medical text, thus highlighting the complex mosaic of meanings the realia take on in works of fiction. Prestigious species of novels and epics suggest, in a moralizing or comic perspective, guilty pleasures. In parodic writings, especially the Roman de Renart, allusions to the fish reveal the commercial and food practices of the time. In the marvel finally, the fish is both a symbolic food and marvellous animal

Full textDuring the 12ᵗʰ century, at the heart of the French kingdom’s towns that thrive thanks to the development of trade, a new monument, embodying the local high justice and its foothold on the urban space, emerges. While this armorial stake, called « pillory » from the beginning, is indeed a penal device used to submit criminals to popular punishment, it has many other uses. The pillory also prevents scandals, helps protect peace on the market, where it stands, and embodies the balance of power between the different urban jurisdictions. Despite the pillory’s central location in the urban landscape, its study has been long neglected by historiography. The ongoing renewal of medieval justice studies since the 1990s encourages an analysis of the pillory as thorough as the recently-studied gallows have been. In order to expose the many facets of both the pillory and the punishment bearing the same name, an anthropological approach was favored, focusing on the stories of all the different people who were faced with these objects of justice. This brought us to explore the storytelling strategies of the judges and lawyers who contributed to the pillory’s invention and its subsequent fast spread throughout the entire kingdom. We then observe how the meanings and uses of the public exhibition sentence evolve as new jurisdictions make it their own. In the meantime, we describe how the public takes over the penal ritual, and how it rebuilds trust in each other. Finally, a sociography of the convicted to the pillory leads to broader thoughts on the fate of the infamous in medieval society

Full textFrom the twelfth to the sixteenth century, badges - a kind of lead and pewter brooches - were very popular in the western christian world. First of all, pilgrim badges can be considered as pilgrimage souvenirs thus conveying an idea of memory. Set on pilgrim clothing, they are futhermore identity signs thus indicating the man's station and status in the medieval society. The pilgrim badge could be brought into contract with the relics in the shrine and obtain their magical power; the pilgrim badge becomes a support for an imaginary world. The three points : memory, identity and imaginary world appear also to be conveyed by secular badges. This kind of objects comprises livery badges, politic badges, funerary or commemorative badges, the popular feast souvenirs and objects appearing to provide a talismanic protection. Thus, these badges are highly characteristic of the art and mentalities in the middle ages

Full textIn the historiography of the Pyrenees, the house has been considered the organizing principle for political, social, and spatial relations, while the mountainous topography has been thought to explain village settlement patterns, family structures, and land appropriation and management. This research project was conceived in order to re-examine this schema in light of the written archival evidence from the tenth to fourteenth centuries. Using an extensive base of documentation, composed of both charters and notarial records, the goal of this research was to analyze the complex net of political and social relations in which these houses were bound. In the tenth century, the casae subject to servicium coexisted with those free from any seigneurial obligations. Afterward however, the settlement pattern was profoundly influenced by feudo-vassalic relations. From the middle of the twelfth century, the mansus was omnipresent, and the emergence and consolidation of a princely state and economic transformations changed the structures of society. Furthermore, new legal formulas and the arrival of Roman law profoundly remodelled the ways political relations were defined as well as those of land rights and rights to forest and pasture. By the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, an elite of powerful families had emerged which controlled communal representation, ecclesiastical institutions, and access to uncultivated lands
