Full textL’épiscopat constitue un fondement essentiel mais méconnu de l’Église mésobyzantine. Malgré la relative rareté des sources, il est possible d’en retracer l’histoire et les grandes évolutions :une part importante de l’hagiographie de l’iconoclasme et post-iconoclaste concerne en effet métropolites et évêques, témoignant du lien fort existant entre ceux-ci et le peuple des cités dont ils ont la charge, particulièrement quand ils sont considérés saints par la population. De nombreuses sources épistolaires, ecclésiastiques et sigillographiques, émanant des évêques eux-mêmes, permettent d’approcher les réalités du corps épiscopal et celles de la société provinciale qu’il représente auprès des autorités centrales. L’évêque apparaît également comme le relais des volontés impériale et patriarcale dans les provinces de l’Empire. Dans un contexte de compétition de pouvoir avec les autorités locales, l’évêque tente ainsi d’imposer le sien propre, dans ses aspects spatiaux, sociaux, religieux et symboliques.
L’approche collective et les approches individuelles de l’épiscopat doivent permettre de comprendre les réalités sociales d’un Empire de plus en plus centré sur sa capitale et dont sont progressivement détachées, du moins dans les sources, les périphéries. Une histoire décentrée de l’Empire byzantin passe dès lors par des études régionales mais aussi par des études consacrées à des groupes sociaux enracinés dans tout l’Empire, surtout lorsque, comme les évêques, ils revendiquent la spécificité de leur région et leur attachement à une société provinciale qui constitue le socle de l’Empire.

The episcopate is an essential structure of the middle-Byzantine Church ;however, it remains little known. Although sources are limited, its history and evolution can still be reconstructed, as a large portion of the iconoclastic and post-iconoclastic hagiography deals with metropolitans and bishops. The sources reveal the strong connection between bishops and the inhabitants of the cities under their responsibility, especially when the population considers them as saints. Numerous epistolary, ecclesiastic and sigillographic documents issued by bishops themselves partially unveil the realities of the episcopal group and the provincial society that bishops represent to the central authorities. The bishop also serves as relay of both imperial and patriarchal wills to the provinces of the Empire. Competing with local authorities, the bishop thus tries to impose his own influence in its spatial, social, religious and symbolic dimensions.
Both collective and individual approaches of the episcopate make the social realities of the Empire more understandable, as it becomes more and more focused on its capital city while its peripheries gradually move away, which documentation seems to imply. Regional studies, but also studies focused on social groups established across the whole Empire, are the fundamentals of a decentred history of the Byzantine Empire. This is especially true since social groups such as bishops claim the specificity of their regions and their link to a provincial society that represents the cornerstone of the Empire.

Full textAt first, this study shows how numerous were diplomatic contacts between Byzantium and its neighbours. Beyond the variety of their origins, the reasons and consequences of their travels, great similarities exist between ambassadors. They belong to a political and social elite. Confidence is a central aspect in the link that exists between an emissary and his sovereign, and also between Byzantine emperors and ambassadors. It leads some of them to go on mission several times, which is a kind of specialization for them. Byzantine power's demonstration is another central aspect for understanding foreign embassies reception. Transport facilities granted or not to diplomatic delegations are a way to understand byzantine diplomacy. A differentiation between foreign embassies appears also in a historic perspective. Our study suggests that during the five centuries studied, diplomats coming from the Latin West are less cordially welcomed than muslim embassies and ambassadors, even if Byzantium is a Christian Empire. The Crusades period confirms this view, as we show

Full textThe military byzantine strengh lacks of stable structures and it depends on an uncertain recruitment. There-fore it has been exposed to the risk of heavy failures in spite of some bursts of energy, in which we may observe examples of the greek skill. The permanent value of this army lies in its aristocratic management, this military nobility is often appealed to service and attempts to loose its task toward the emperor in order to devote its care to its own affairs. It moves to a regional autonomy where it asserts its importance. From this, the defence is negleeted. After frequent hazards scattered during two centuries, the byzantine world withdraws into a few remaining provinces. Without any valuable army, it seems to be resigned to a foreign trust

Full textThis thesis deals about the Jews in Byzantium under the Paleologans (13th-15th c. ). In a first chapter, we sum up the history of the Romaniotes from the Antiquity until 1204, when the fourth crusade conquered Constantinople. But the Romaniotes lived under different rules (Latin, Ottoman, Slavic) and the cultural evolutions of the different communities, under these different rulers, are considered. In a second chapter, we are studying the economic and demographic role of the Romaniotes in Byzantium, the settlement of the Romaniotes and the relations between the Jews and the political and religious powers. In the same time, the relations between the Jews and the Christians induce the creation of a judaizing heresy: the Chionai. In a last chapter, we are developing the themes of the apocalypse, the mystic and the intellectual trend of the romaniote culture and we are proposing a new study about the Romaniotes in the Ottoman Empire

Full textA short outlook of the Byzantine law history demonstrates that said law history is dissociated from the historical reality from both jurists and historians. The aim of the present study is based on the historicity of the legal concept. The study of both texts of laws and practice and the comparison between these two categories of documents allow studying the functionality of the Byzantine legal system. In view of the fact that said functional element couldn't be conceived but in a context determined by time, territory, political power and population, the paradigm chosen is the 13th-15th centuries, the era of the last Byzantine dynasty, - the Palaiologan on the territory on which they could impose their authority. In this area, coexist various ethnic groups under different political regimes. Two civilizations are faced. The Byzantine civilization in decline, that of the Occident at the eve of the Renaissance. Mutual influences manifest themselves. The relation between positive law and custom or (and) customary law can be approached. In the "Law books" of the Byzantine jurists, we may discern a new approach concerning the classification of the legal contents, a new proposal concerning the codification of a law based on the positive law, on court decisions and customs. In other words, a combination of the two legal systems, which evolved alter the definitive fall of the Byzantine Empire: the Continental legal system, based on positive law and the Anglo-Saxon legal system based on customary law (common law)

Full textDoukas, who lived in the fifteenth century, is one of the last Byzantine historians. His “Turco-byzantine History” covers the period from 1341 to 1462. However, his chronicle becomes detailled and accurate with the reign of the Ottoman sultan Bayazid Yildirim, 1389-1402. The chronicle continues by putting in parallel the reigns of the Byzantine emperors Manuel II, John VIII and Constantine XI, and of the Ottoman sultans Mehmed I, Mourad II and Mehmed II. The chronicle goes through the Council of Florence (1437-1438), aimed at the union of the Churches, and the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed II in 1453. . The Doukas chronicle was saved for posterity in a single manuscript, bearing no title and preserved at the Paris National Library. The French title “Histoire turco-byzantine” was devised by its first editor, Bullialdus, in 1649. The present French translation follows the Greek text established by the Roumanian scholar Vasile Grecu

Full textStarting from the IXth century, the imperial power played in Byzantium a significant role in the emergence and enrichment of monasteries, by providing several fiscal privileges and by giving constant protection against the encroachments of the fiscal and the episcopal administration. According to the literature, the emperor obeyed to interests superior to those of the fiscal administration, and the foundation or the protection of monasteries was due to spiritual, ideological and political concerns. The imperial monasteries, in particular, were subject to restrictive obligations which were sometimes the private rights of the emperor, such as the obligation to welcome the members of the imperial family, and other times his kingly rights ; these monasteries served as political prisons for the ones against the emperor, sometimes for the dethroned emperors and their closed ones, and they were available to the sovereign who could give them to his followers.The emphasis made by historians to underline the friendship of the emperors towards the monks proceed from their will to confirm the legitimacy of the power of these sovereigns, despite their mistakes or their decline, in order to maintain the continuation of the imperial authority. If the legitimacy of the sovereign could follow several routes in Byzantium and get used to the violence, it could not do without the divine consent. The monks, close to God thanks to their virtues and intercessors privileged of men, were definitely the best ones to guarantee this legitimacy. The idea of the superiority of the monastic dignity, developed by the monastic literature and the Lives of the saints, seems to have found an echo in the narrative sources whose recites have contributed to the elaboration of a new ideological model, that of a basileia reinforced by monastic values

Full textOn the basis of hagiographical texts written in the 9th-11th centuries, the author studies the authority of visions and prophecies in Byzantium, from a diachronic and synchronic perspective. The increasing demand for a more visual and personalized religious message (growing prestige of icons, development of spiritual guidance in the secular world, preoccupation with the Other World) significantly decreased suspicion towards visions and it was employed by local power centres as an instrument of legitimacy or contestation. The investigation pays special attention to prophecies, which acquired a political function especially in relation to two crucial events of the political and religious history of the 9th century: the second iconoclast crisis and Basil I’s ascension. The study emphasises the importance of visions and prophecies for the comprehension of the complex relations between religion and politics and of religious rhetoric used by concurrent powers in the Byzantine Middle Ages

Full textThis dissertation analyses the development of the institutional identity of the Papacy during the Byzantine period, that is, the representation of the Roman Church in some official sources between the age of Emperor Justinian and the first half of the eighth century. The main sources are the acts of the ecumenical councils, as well as the official production of the imperial power and the papacy. The purpose is to show that, far from being monolithic, the institutional identity of the papacy was changing, dynamic and fluid, and the elements that composed it were modified according to the context, the necessities and the relations of power. The study focuses in particular on ecclesiological disputes and the councils aimed at resolving them : the Three Chapters controversy and the Second Council of Constantinople of 553, the monothelite dispute, including the Lateran Council of 649 and the Third Council of Constantinople of 680-681, and the Quinisext Council of 691-692. It also incorporates other developments related to the representation of the place of the Roman Church, the role of Popes, and the reception of ecumenical councils

Full textThis study discusses the problem of the relations between Berbers (moors) and romans in late antiquity, by a particular survey of the first half of the sixth century in eastern Maghreb. Its originality lies in the fact that the perspective centers round the moors themselves. Corippus' Johannis reveals a division of the sixth century Moorish people into two groups. The "outers moors" are the nomads and semi-nomads of the Libyan desert and predesert. They did not undertake a great westward migration during late antiquity, but only a slow movement towards the coastal zone of Tripolitania and Cyrenaica. Well-known to the romans, they were nevertheless little romanized and christianized. On the contrary, the "inland moors", long settled in the provinces of Numidia and Byzacium, were familiar with the roman empire, and were distinguishable from the romans mainly by the fact they didn't belong to the cities and by their integration into the gentes. Apparently chaotic, the events of the years 533-548 must be explained principally by this duality of the Moorish people, long underestimated by the Byzantines

Full textThe monothelete crisis - a theological controversy around the number of wills in the Christ - remains the only debate within the chalcedonian church to lack a monographical study, despite the manifold impact it had on the byzantin empire of the 7th century, a pivotal period of its history. My dissertation, based on a recently renewed dossier of sources, attempts a study of the political implications and of the context of this dispute, which began as a reaction of a limited group of palestinian monks against the unions between the chalcedonian church and its monophysite counterparts enforced by the emperor Heraclius since ca AD 630, and which ended half a century later at an ecumenical council which accepted the doctrine of two wills. Far from being still another outbreak of the supposed eternal conflict between Rome and Constantinople, the monothelete crisis can be construed as a revolt of monk-intellectuals, grouped around Maximus the Confessor, who resorted to political means in order to impose their orthodoxy on the church of the Empire. They owed their success to their alliance with the papacy; thus, the controversy around the wills of the Christ presents an interesting case of byzantine "papocesarism" and encourages to reconsider the traditional vision of the imperial omnipotence in the religious domain. At the same time, the monotheletism is the last of the christological controversies which troubled the Empire during the late antiquity: the arabic invasions and the loss of the oriental provinces will henceforth turn the attention of the byzantines to the ritual righteousness

Full textFrom the Byzantine Empire to the Turkish Republic, how did the foreign Latin community of Constantinople develop ? The answer to this question constitutes the argument of this thesis which analyses, in three parts, the forming, the apogee and the decline of the foreign Latin also called Levantine community of Constantinople-Istanbul for the period of history which starts with the Byzantine Empire, extends over the Ottoman Empire and ends with the Turkish Republic. This thesis puts in evidence the foreign Latin community of Constantinople and stresses the difference with the Ottoman Latin community, its sister of origin which became legally its opposite further to the conquest of the city in 1453. So we underline the presence in Istanbul of a foreign community governed by the "capitulations" and which cannot be likened to the Ottoman Latin community composed of Latin Ottoman citizens or "rayas"

Full textWorthy heir to the Roman Empire of Occident, the Roman Empire of the East more commonly called Byzantine Empire is the scene many political changes and socio-economic since his creation at the 4th century. Among the actors of these evolutions are Komnenian, a family resulting from the aristocracy known as military that nothing predestined to occupy the higher realms of the imperial administration of 1057 to 1204. By firstly basing on the seals gathered in form the shape of a catalogue, it will be a question of clarifying the history of the family which gradually size up a network thanks to a strong matrimonial policy which is modified by the Komnenian emperors until reaching her apogee at the 12th century. Organized into three part the first volume of this study paints an exhaustive painting of the family by extracting from the sources the whole of information referring to Komnenian and with their parents so, in the second time to better understand how the family uses the marriage to extend her attraction and her power on the rest of the Byzantine population and on the rest of the world medieval of the 12th century, finally a study of the iconographic corpus suitable for the network of Komnenian will be studied in order to show the existence or not evolution of the worships under the action of this family. This work is based on a corpus of seals dedicated to Komnenian who composed the second volume

Full textThis dissertation aims to analyse the diversity and the intensity of certain transformations which the Great Invasions caused in the cities of the praetorian prefecture of Illyricum (in this case, 374-618). Focused on the urban centres such as Thessalonika, Sirmium, Viminacium, Stobi, Dyrrachium, Athens, Corinth, etc. , this research addresses two topics: the reaction of the cities (or citizens) facing the barbarian invasions, and the material traces left by the invaders. Based on a detailed analysis of literary and archaeological sources and, to a lesser degree, on epigraphic and numismatic evidence, this dissertation tries to understand how the presence of barbarian invaders impacted the behaviors, perceptions, and physical and material circumstances of the urban population in Illyricum. Besides the small indications and new opinions, my research yielded three principal conclusions: 1. Cities in Illyricum faced threats not only from barbarian invaders, but also form the presence of imperial military forces; we must understand this “double” or multiple danger if we are to arrive at a more complete and nuanced image of the complicated position of cities at the time of the Great Invasions; 2. Contrary to the traditional "eschatological" image which sees the Great Invasions as the end for citizens of early Byzantine cities, the evidence from Illyricum shows that some citizens were able to accommodate themselves to barbarian rule, and successfully make new lives and livelihoods for themselves in Barbaricum; 3. The invasions had a surprising capacity to cause chaotic turbulences “ex nihilo” in some early Byzantine cities, which were not a target of a particular attack

It stands out as the first work of muslim apologetic which we possess, and the only royal correspondence from that period.

Through all these religious discussions, the caliph invites the emperor to choose between the conversion to Islam or the payment of the gizya which should bring him a lot of advantages. In the case of the emperor's refusal, then, as in the past, the only choice for

Full textMy Ph. D. is a study of the reign of Constantine IX Monomachos, a ruler who ruled in the middle of the 11th century, a pivotal period in Byzantine history. The specificities of the reign are multiple. A former exile who became emperor thanks to his marriage to empress Zoe, Constantine Monomachos has never ceased to create a legitimacy to establish his domination and consolidate his throne. The emperor brilliantly succeeded in building up a network of faithful before his advent and subsequently succeeded in strengthening it by rallying many aristocratic families and a large number of officials of the palace. Yet, the power of the emperor, although consolidated, suffered many hardships: the two greatest military revolts in nearly half a century, the people of Constantinople increasingly restless, palatial plots, … Despite these difficulties, Constantine IX achieved a feat during this century so dangerous for the holders of imperial purple, die in power and from natural causes. Monomachos was a builder emperor, launching major projects both within the Empire and abroad. The cultural life of this period was particularly rich, since many of the great intellectuals of Byzantine history served and benefited from the emperor's favours. Long perceived as an emperor hostile to the army, Constantine Monomachos was on the contrary a first-rate military emperor, performing his duty by defending the Empire. He was also one of the greatest diplomatic emperors the Empire has ever known, a policy aimed at promoting peace at the borders by disarming enemies or avoiding creating them

Full textThis thesis is the translation of the first three books of the work written by facundus hermianensis. African bishop of the sisth century a. D. : pro defensione trium capiulorum, which defends theodore of mopsuestia, theodoret of cyr and ibas of edessa in the three chapters'affair. This episode takes place before the second council of constantinople which will pronounce condemnetion of the three chapters. The first book of the work justifies three assertions of justinian : - one of the trinity has been crucified, - the blessed virgin is verily and in the true meaning mother of god, -there is two natures in christ. The second book sets out the major argument of facundus : the eutychians want the council of chalcedon to be condemned. The third book defends theodore of mopsuestia and his works. The introduction places the work in its theological context with the opposition between the christology of antioch and that of alexandria, in its historical, political and geographical context, with the study of the religious power of the emperor justinian and the resume of the three chapters'affair. It presents the theological and historical arguments of facundus'work and is made up of an analysis of his style and vocabulary (particularly on the notion of heresy). Finally, after having analysed the pro defensione's sources of inspiration and the biblical and patristic quotations, the last chapters of the introduction show the caracteristics of this woirk of christian rhetoric

Full textSince the ninth century, many aspects of the state and of the ecclesiastical organization as well as of the spiritual and material culture of the South Slav peoples have been directly inherited from Byzantium. During the second half of the fourteenth century, the Turkish conquest induced drastic changes in the Balkan states including the Byzantine empire. These changes have led to many shifts in the way of functioning but also in the relationship between not only the churches but also between the states. This thesis examines more deeply the issues at stake between Byzantium and the secular and ecclesiastical powers of the Slavic Balkan countries, the way that these issues have transformed the Byzantine policy in this area, and finally how, in return, political instability of these states has shaped the politics of the Byzantine Church. It will thus be an attempt to understand how the Byzantine Church has endorsed the role of guardian of the secular interests of the endangered Byzantine Empire, first facing the Serbian expansionism and then facing the disappearance of the Bulgarian state and lastly facing the Russian's ambitions considering that they were the only growing orthodox power at the time

Full textThis research aims to study the development of relations between Constantinople and the provinces of Asia Minor belonging to the Byzantine the Empire between the ninth and eleventh centuries. This study includes non only a research on the concrete ways to administer and exploit the provincial jurisdictions, but also the perception and cultural representation of the relation between center and periphery. We focused in particular on the political and social role of the aristocracy. The members of this social group were the main political agents of the imperial power; throughout the period, they filled an important mediating role between the central government and the provincial society, by the public functions they exercised and by the extensive and active networks of their personal relationships.After situating our work in the historiography, we dwell on the traditional representation of the provinces in the Byzantine literature, we also describe the military, administrative and fiscal structures of the provincial administration, seeking to identify the real issues related to the control of these Eastern territories, through the study of three macro-regions. For each of them, we try to identify the economic and strategic interests of the central institutions, their mutual relations and their interaction with the provincial society, particularly with the aristocracy.In the last part of this thesis, we try to describe the evolution of the meso-Byzantine aristocracy social profile, its ideology and its attitude vis-à-vis the imperial ideal. Such an analysis can help to understand the political and structural crisis that shook the Empire on the eve of Alexis Comnenus reign

Starting under the empire of Nicée (1204-1261), this second big renewal of interest in the ancient greeks expanded all along the periode of palaiologues inspite of political, military, social and economic decline, passing over to the italian renaissance some of its ideas and conceptions. While education was essential for upward social mobility, it was left under personal or private initiative and without any official regulation. In fact, the primacy of the emperor an the patriarche as culture and education promoteurs was limited and only effective in the capital. Like in the preceding centuries education was echieved in three different stages (hiera grammata, enkylios paidela and high level education) that were not completed but by a particular social class looking for public or ecclesiastic power or by individuals seeking intellectual notoriety. Yet for the big majority of citizens education remained attached to practical matters that had direct application in public life : grammar, poetry an rhetoric. .

Full textAs soon as the middle-ages, two competitive parties coexisted in anatolia and later in the balkans : the greek-byzantine group, from hellenic and christian filiation, a sedentary and imperial people from mediterranean tradition, happened to be tightly mingled with a population whose language was turco-mongolic, who was muslem, from central-asian nomadic origin. Between those two very different worlds, many were the conflicts from the xith century down to the nationality crises that opposed the ottoman turks in the xixth century to the sultan's sujects from orthodox and byzantine tradition. However, if one limits one's study to the sole aspect of war and conflicts between greeks and turks who have been living on the same territory for almost a millenary, one cannot understand neither how quick was the turkish conquest, neither the long life of the ottoman empire, nor the common inheritance of the peoples born from it. The present study gathers medieval and ottoman sources that were chosen so as to show that besides the undeniable conflicts, there has been between the two societies, along their long living together, a dynamics in political alliances, in cultural exchanges, in trends of ideas and behaviours, that allowed a common consensus and a relatively harmonious coexistence. The peace trend even existed in religion and a few mystics in both parties played an active part in a transreligious and even sometimes supraconfessionnal approach that lead to unite all the sultan's subjects by the means of syncretism, or, on the contrary, that sometimes opposed the government through anarchy and armed rebellion

Full textIt is evident from Medieval Byzantine sources that not all monks lived on society’s margins. Some of them were highly implicated in worldly affairs. They could travel, move into other monasteries and visit lay people. They built up ties with people that the authorities had sought to break and could even enjoy freedoms that the laws and cannons aimed to control. Based on such observations, I have studied closely how monks could be embedded in political networks. Firstly, I have made a census of the Byzantine monks that distinguished themselves by their intervention in the lay world. Based on this prosopographical study, I have defined the contours of a monastic elite and shown that this was a group who interacted frequently with members of the high aristocracy. Consequently, I have studied in detail the social networks in which such monks belonged. I have attempted to describe and to underline the complexity of how monks build up their networks as well as inherit and possibly transmit them. I also have tried to distinguish their institutional bonds from their personal ones. In doing so, I have demonstrated that they acted and were solicited less often as monks and more often as members of powerful clans. Thus, I have concluded that the political and social role played by monks in the Byzantine Empire can only be explained by their integration in very powerful social networks

Full textHistory, critical edition, translation and commentary of the theological writings of Nicephorus Blemmydes (1197-c. 1269), monk philosopher of the Nicean Empire ; three writings were unpublished. The most original works are his two treatises on the procession of the Holy Spirit, which we date in 1255-1256, in which he supports the terms of several Greek Fathers, according to which the Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son (Per Filium). This doctrine means, according to him, that the Spirit owes his existence from the Father alone and "shines eternally" through the Son upon whom the rests. In his desire to reconcile the Per Filium with both the procession of the Spirit from the Father alone (Photius) and the initial intuition of the Filioque which is to promote the eternal relationship between the Son and the Spirit, Blemmydes offered a solution to the ancient dogmatic quarrel between Greek monopatrism and latin filioquism. His sincere desire for religious union between Greeks and latins explains why the Byzantine unionists claimed to follow his teaching at the time of the Lyons II Council (1274) ; nevertheless his pneumatology inspired that which was officially adopted by the Byzantine Church in 1285, formulated by the anti-unionist patriarch Gregory of Cyprus, a precursor of the theology of Gregory Palamas

Full textThe period between 1095 and 1204 can be considered a pivotal point in time for understanding clearly the image of « Others », whether Christian (in accordance with the laws of Rome), Muslim, or Christian (in accordance with Oriental or South-East European traditions). The present work sets out to observe in what form this image of « Others », focused here around the emblematic figure of the Prince of Byzantium, ruler of the Greeks, came in to existence at the time, and spread throughout one of the areas reknowned for French and German literature on the Crusades: that of the aristocracy of princes and feudal chiefs. A transversal approach has been adopted, which is freed from the classification of literary « genres » which mark works of historiography and works of supposed entertainment such as “chansons de geste”, “epopees” and novels. In fact, these works participate collectively in an awareness of the « Other » that is also (and more particularly) an awareness of Onesself and one’s expectations, translated of course by «historical events», but also by an imaginary thread that is just as significant for understanding the period. The image of the Greek dignitary is thus examined by way of key « passport » details: his name, his origin(s) as determined by geographical clues – including ideas on territory and communities — and his ethnic roots. The four main sections of the thesis address in turn the notion of Romania found in German and French texts, the lands and people of Alexios Komnenós 1st at the time of the First Crusade, then in the 12th century, and finally the name and personification of the Greek prince in the 12th and beginning of the 13th centuries

Full textIt was during a very troubled period that Saint Jerome (347-419) operated his abundant intellectual activity.Noticed by Pope Damasus in 382, he entrusted him the arduous task of re-translation of Latin texts of the Bible. This translation will later be known as the Vulgate. Although Saint Jerome is not a lawyer by training, his erudition and solid legal knowledge enable him to analyze the decline of the Roman Empire with a dual approach : both religious and institutional. This analysis demonstrakes a true vision of History in this Church Father’s mind.Thus after a fierce fight against heresies, Saint Jerome will focus on the disaster of the Roman’s world collapse, under the repeated blows of the barbarians : « My heart trembles in thinking of the disasters of our time. For over twenty years, between Constantinople and the Julian Alps, the Roman blood has been flowing every day ». (Epist. IX, 16). Jerome’s writings, including the famous « Correspondances », say much about the distress experienced by an entire people.With the lighting of other authors, we will examine this crucial period of antiquity, which saw the emergence of the greatest minds of our time, which Saint Jerome is one of the most significant

Full textThe Turkish invasion pushed some Armenian lords to the south at the head of their vassals and clergy. The first such principality was that created by general Philaretus, between 1072 and 1086, on the former south-eastern border of the byzantine empire, eventually occupied by the Seljukids. His lieutenants managed to stay put in many places, and soon rejected the Turkish yoke and regained their freedom thanks to the arrival of the crusade. Thus, the rubinids got hold of cilicia. Allied with the normans of antioch, thoros ist. (1100-1129) was a prowerful prince, although he had to share his territory swith his brother lewon. The latter, by a disorderly expansionism, was at cross purposes with the Franks, then with the Byzantians whose campaign of 1137-1138 resulted in the annexation of the rubinian province (and the temporary eradication of the dynasty). Certain Armenian powers passed under foreign rule - such was the case for the hetumids of western cilicia (under the byzantines), the Armenian lords of Amanus (under the Franks) and the former garrisons of northern syria, that had rebelled against the turks at the arrival of the crusade. Former captives or armenian emigres were now serving muslim states : for instance, in egypt, the vizirs of the Fatimid khalifs from 1073 to 1137. In Euphratesia, could be found, between 1071 and 1149, some Armenian prin- cipalities (basil the thief) the most independent of which were suppressed by the counts of Edessa. . .

Full textFirst we present the sources and the region; then we study the history of apulia from the 6th to the 9th cent. The roman organization is maintained until the lombard invasion; many cities disappear at that time, mainly in the north. The lombards set new structures; we study the agrarian organization, settlement, the civil and religious organization. Between the 10th and the 12th cent. , the norman rule follows the byzantine one. The byzantine authorities create various types of settlements and develop a society of small landowners; the normans build small settlements and also castles (sometimes motte castles); in the centre of the region the seigneurie has to adapt to the former society. The economic development is first agricultural : the terra di bari specializes in olive growing, the tavoliere in cereals. Fishing and saltextraction are important but craft hardly develops. A relevant trade binds apulia with the eastern mediterranean. The byzantine currency circulates until c. 1070; the situation becomes more difficult in the 12th cent. Inspite of the presence of sicilian gold coins and french silver coins. The population is mainly lombard (and greek in the south); the lombard family law is very peculiar and hardly varies. The number of bishoprics increases, the private church disappears in the 12th cent. The byzantine administration is replaced by numerous seigneuries, which the monarchy takes under control

Full textThe Byzantine Empire is characterized for its long history by maintaining a tax administration, raising the necessary maintenance of the Army and the Imperial servants, gage for salvation of the State. Our doctoral thesis, based on the byzantine Sigillography, has the aim to highlight the importance of tax administration in the financing of armed forces and compensation of imperial elite, by renewing for the first time the prosopographycal lists on the representatives of the fiscal administration in the 7th - 12th centuries. Firstly, several elements of the seals, for example, certain fiscal function and districts, of which the nature and the distribution are unknown or partially known in the narrative sources, show the organisation of tax administration evolved on the needs of the imperial Army in adapting to the economic status of the Empire in the 7th - 12th centuries. Secondly, other elements of the seals, rare forenames, family’s names, dignities, also very incomplete in the narrative sources, allow to exposing the social status and family solidarity of the Imperial elite, well integrated in the hierarchy at the Imperial Court, which was evolved in relation to the evolution de the fiscal administration between the 7th - 12th centuries. Finally, the analysis on the career of many representatives of the tax authorities, demonstrate that some members in the inner circle to the Imperial entourage has been frequently appointed to the double key position in both financial institutions and some senior commandments of the army, not only because of the imperial security but also because of the good rewards for the imperial élite, which led the byzantine government to better adapt to the new organisation of Imperial administration all around the 7th- 8th centuries, as well as the 11th-12th centuries

Full textThe principal objects of this dissertation are narratives produced between 1204 and 1261 in the polities of Nicaea, Epiros and Serbia. Previous studies, for the most part, stress the anomalous character of this period. In their explanations of historical phenomena, historians draw upon fixed modern narratives of the fragmentation of the Byzantine world and the independence of the Serbian state, both seen as consequences of the Fourth Crusade. These arguments are often buttressed by the undefined concept of ideology. Using concepts borrowed from narratology and Marxist theories, this study challenges that line of approach, as well as the notion of an unambiguous nexus between texts and historical ‘realities’. Narratives are defined as resolutions to material contradictions. Ideology is defined as a set of narrative strategies used to constitute the subjectivities of concerned actors and to construct their social space. Analyzing the narrative practices of interpellation in rhetorical, legal, epistolary, and hagiographical contexts opens up the possibility of reinterpreting historical actors, actions and social relations. Examining the narrativization of space in a trialectical matrix sheds light on this important element of sociality, which was previously usually reduced to a passive object at the service of nation-states interests. Finally, the study proposes a concept of heterarchy as a way to replace the unsuitable metaphors of family and hierarchy, frequently used to theorize the power relations both inside and between medieval states. This dissertation offers an interpretation of medieval societies, based on the way their members told stories of their social and political experience. Thus, it has two aims: to diversify the reading of Byzantine and Serbian texts and to prompt modern scholars to rethink their approach to historiographical practice

Full textThe protectores diuini lateris Augusti, high-ranking soldiers attested in the Roman army from the 3rd c. to the 6th c. AD, have been alternately defined by historians as imperial bodyguards, staff officers, or centurions under a new name. This study, based on a prosopography, aims to resolve the contradictions raised by these interpretations, from a military and social point of view. The evolutions of these soldiers’ recruitment, careers and functions, reflect deep changes in the command structure of the Late Roman army. The analysis also sheds light on the social and cultural background of these privileged soldiers, who were familiar with both the battlefield and the imperial court. By focusing on their privileged relationship with the emperor, who was at the same time general in chief and responsible for the social and symbolic order of the Late Antique world, we can finally understand how the protectores were part, in the eyes of the Romans, of an earthly order of dignities reflecting the celestial hierarchy

Full textThe three parts of this doctoral dissertation combine to support the hypothesis that musical signs were used in the transmission of Christian hymns during the 5th – 10th centuries. In the first part, a papyrological corpus provides evidence of three types of musical indications: hirmoi, which were used as musical models for liturgical canon strophes, modal signs from the octoechos system and un-identified interlinear symbols. In the second part, several hirmoi identified in the papyri are located in hirmologia from the 10th – 13th centuries – liturgical books containing paleo-byzantine and medio-byzantine musical notations. The different versions of the melodies are compared and then transcribed into modern notation. In the final part, the strophe texts and unidentified symbols from the papyri are superimposed on the musical transcriptions in order to analyze and interpret the functions of the symbols

Full textTunisian High Steppes include a great number of fortifications. For many of them, a date in the Byzantine period was proposed. On few large ones, inscriptions indicating official status were found, but there are also numerous under-studied little « fortlets ». These constructions are quite different. A serial handling, based on architectural standards specifically, has been carried out. Only the series which can reasonably be attributed to the byzantine period have been examined in greater detail. Their geographical distribution has been studied and spatial analysis have been done, using a Geographical Information System (GIS). Thanks to this work, it is possible to identify successive networks. Their settlement plans seem to have changed, from the time when the fortress was considered as a power symbol and installed near natural lines of defense. It evolved to probably more adapted surveillance networks. Indeed, the Byzantine’s enemies were Moorish tribes and Arabs, known to be mobile people and considered hard to control. This new approach of fortifications networks highlights a less negative vision of Byzantine Africa. There were certainly great security problems, but Byzantine representatives doesn’t seem to have let Africans to their own without trying to bring solutions

Full textWithin the principality of Morea, founded after the Fourth Crusade by Frankishknights in the territories of the former Byzantine Empire, men and women of the Latin elite ruled for nearly two and a half centuries. Drawing on new research trends, such as the study of individuals in prosopography, the history of representations and of women's power, this monograph highlights the place, role and power of the ladies of Frankish Morea, from the 13th to the 15th century. Going beyond the commonplace, mostly male, perpectives reflected in medieval thinking, it will analyze the involvement of women in family alliances, in the transmission and management of feudal holdings, and in the political, economic and social life of the principality. Presented in three parts, this work first examines the representation of women in the Latin and Byzantine sources, thenconsiders the place of women in the family and marriage strategies, and concludes by studying the role and power of women in Moreote feudal and government structures
