Full textMonastic hagiography of 11th and 12th centuries frequently describes saints using effective word, able to act automatically. Nevertheless, it shows an evolution of saint word's conception : itinerant preachers, in particular, insist on the moral sense of the speech. The description of the last moments confirms these evolution. The collections of miracles, on the other hand, describe a magic use of the word acting without any moral reference. Blasphemy, at last, appears as an inverted prayer put by the monks in the mouth of milities looting their possessions. In conclusion, word in the 11th and 12th centuries is one of the chief elements which structure relations between man and the sacred

Full textIn my thesis, I study the monastic normativity and the institutional aspects of the Vallombrosa Order between the 11th and the 15th centuries. The study has brought new results and it is divided into three parts:In the first part I introduce the reader to sources and to historiography on the subject.In the second I develop the theme of normativity. For the origins, I explain the connections with the hagiographic sources, the reforming movement in Florence, the first monks and the institutionalization in congregatio of Vallombrosa. I discuss in a systematic and textual way the dating’s problem of the customary, the writing of the constitutions and the diffusion and the use of the constitutions and statutes.In the third I study the institutions of the Order with the help of normative sources and the historical context, by checking their changes through the centuries. The chapters are devoted to the main institutions of the Order, that is the Abbot General, the General Chapter and the Visitors.Finally, the thesis is completed with important appendices where one can find: the critical edition of the constitutions from 1323 to 1455, the tables of the concordances of the norms from the 11th century until 1310, and those of Statutes of Vallombrosa (1323-1455)

Full textThe present study investigated whether the foundation of a religious institution in the Frankish world from late sixth to early eighth centuries in a context of rivalries at the top of the state - represents a global process as not only does it meet strategic expectations but also social and economic ones closely linked to spiritual hope. Our cross analysis approach of the various sources - hagiographic, diplomatic and normative ones - allows in the first place to wonder about the religious institutions itself. The multiplicity of designations : basilica, monasterium, xenodochium, suggests an evolution in the organization of the institutions whose role has undergone changes throughout the seventh century. Then it is necessary to understand the founding process which stands as a structural phenomenon involving the elites - monarchs, bishops and aristocrats - allowing each group to dominate at one time in a highly competitive society. After the foundation some material and spiritual conditions must be met to ensure the institution 's survival. The third part focusses more particularly on the initial allocation required by an institution in order to prosper. Institutions with a significant allocation composed of land properties, economic rights and a treasure acted as landlords and bankers in direct contact with the society insofar as they had to manage flows of good thanks to numerous donations. How did institutions manage this access to material wealth while the rule, above all, advocated restraint? The task assigned to them was to ensure the growth of donated properties with a perspective of Salvation, thus making religious institutions the key actors of relationshipswith the afterlife

Full textThis thesis treats of the evolution of seven charterhouses (grande-chartreuse, durbon, les ecouges, val-sainte-marie, saint-hugon, curriere and chalais) in the region of the first expansion of the carthusian order. The first part deals with the copious records which are kept in grenoble, valence (france), or at grande-chartreuse, especially the cartulaire of this monastery, which was made at the beginning of xvith century. Second part analyses the foundations and the sites of the charterhouses, the structures of the carthusian economy (through the study of cartusian statutes of the xiith and xiiith centuries) and the "deserts" (delimitations, acquisitions, exploitations). Third part deals with the expansion outside the "deserts" (animal husbandry, setting up of agricultural granaries in the second half of the xiiith century), as well as exploitation of these properties and the consequences on work's planing and distribution of the responsabilities between monks and converses. The changes during the xivth and xvth centuries are studied in the last part. They may be explained by internal evolutions to carthusian order more than by economic crisis, although the crisis amplifies these changes. Four charterhouses have serious economic problems. The others, especially grande-chartreuse, look for new incomes and buy real or movable rents. The will to control the expansion of monastic economy according to the original principles, which rules the cartusian economic expansion as far as the end of xiiith century, is not much affirmed during the end of the middle age

Full textAfter the blaze in the Archives Building of the Department de la Manche in 1944, western Normandy was considered as a marginal, undeveloped area condemned to amnesia. There remains, however, a large corpus of writings from the 18th and 19th centuries in various regional and national records. The study of such scattered and diverse documentation covers a vast territory corresponding to Neustria and eastern Normandy and a period stretching from the 6th to the 1 lth century. The purpose of this thesis is to show how this corpus was put together by studying the rewrites and examining the process which helped shape the historiographic profile of the region. Following the research conducted by G. Louise, J-P Brunterc'h and P. Bauduin, this thesis will not consider these territories as seen from the Archbishopric of Rouen or the Duchy of Normandy. It will consider them from within, as an interface subject to multiple and conflicting influences,yet driven by their own territorial, social and political dynamics. This research will focus on the Frankish march whose extensive religious, social and territorial structures lead to the acculturation of the Breton and Scandinavian settlers. For the Norman period, it will first examine the nature of the existing links with the local secular power-holders (specific role of ducal kinship and wives) or with their religious counterparts (establishment of Benedictine abbeys and nomination process of abbots). It will also reassess the part played by the secular clerics. Prosopographic research will help show the existence of a local aristocracy at the beginning of the llth century

Full textThe Cistercian abbey of Lucelle (68480, Ht-Rhin) was founded in 1123/1124, on the borders of Romance and Germanic languages, and at the junction of geopolitical entities (earldoms) and of two dioceses. It acquired in two centuries and a half of an important temporal. Three regions/areas provided it its medieval geographical basis, the Haut-Doubs, the Ajoie and especially the Haute-Alsace. Lucelle had 26 rural barns and storerooms (wine cel/ars), the total varied in the past. The abbey ran 3 salt barns in the Haut-Doubs as well. The Cistercians of Lucelle became major actors of the urban life. They settled about ten cities which accomodated trade fairs and markets and created 8 urban courts. They acquired there property and land patrimony of great value. The abbey owned twenty or 50 churches and numerous tithes as well. In the course of the XIII century, Lucelle changed its economic system moving progressively to a seigniorial-type economy. In the 1300, the only remaining « direct» were a terra and five barns with their own land, including the 2 barns close to the monastery. The reasons of this change are more linked to the progressive adaptation to a new economic system than to the pressure of financial difficulties and to the short supply of workforce provided by the lays. The second half of the XIII century was for Lucelle the time of an economic peak. And its rather atypical success would last up about 1365. Between 1250 and 1350, the abbey almost doubled its temporal

Full textDiverse sources of the twelfth through the fourteenth centuries show that the term "good woman" designated a person whose moral qualities led her to assume a certain spiritual authority in the eyes of her neighbors. At least eleven communities of "good women" were founded in Paris from the late 12th to the mid-14th century. Rather than following a rule sanctioned by Rome, the "good women", normally widows, were bound to each other simply by an ethic of mutual aide, or came together in hospitals, giving themselves to the group for life in exchange for lodging, board and the obligation to care for their sisters. A prosographical study of the community founded by Etienne Haudry, a rich parisian draper, demonstrates that the "good women" and their benefactors were bound to each other by family, neighborhood and profession. By way of these ties, the "good women" commemorated their deceased benefactors through collective prayer, just as monks did

Full textWhere we introduce Besançon’s abbeys and convents History between 1350 and 1500. How several establishments – different by their ages, lifestyles, activities and religious functions - try to face the same events - demographic, economic, religious crises and wars of the low Middle Ages - according to their own customs and with different material and spiritual success. The regular canons of Saint-Paul, the Benedictines of Saint-Vincent and the Cistercians of Notre-Dame of Battant distinguish themselves from mendicants friars - Dominicans, Franciscans and Carmelites - and even more with Clarisses, returned to a strict rule of poverty by Colette, reformer nun of the order of St. Clare at the beginning of the XVth century. From the municipal sources and the ancient archives of these abbeys and convents, we tried to understand what was the reality of such establishments in these disturbed time. We mainly held the material subjects (buildings and the many construction sites mentioned as well as an approach of the temporal in the county of Burgundy and in the city of Besançon), the social study of the monks and the nuns as well as their organization within their respective community and their roles. The municipal archives, a strikingly rich fund, allowed us to understand how the monastic and conventual establishments of the city of Besançon fitted into the urban, economic and religious life, and what were their relations with the city authorities. In this search for the links with the outside, we also mentionned the case of the count of Burgundy, lord of the province but not of the city, who is also the duke of Burgundy, to try to understand how nuns and monks open to the world in a time when the laic power tends to assert itself especially since the pope ones are weakened by the Western Schism and the conciliar crisis which follows

Full textThis thesis weaves together two distinct historiographical strands: research on crime and criminal justice and that on religious orders and communities. It offers an analysis of criminality in the cloister, by examining crimes committed by religious against other religious (forms of violence, homicide, theft…), from the 12th to the 15th century. A comparative framework allowed for a comprehensive study of male and female religious, belonging to orders such as Cluniacs, Cistercians, Premonstratensians and Carthusians or to a less juridically defined communities, i.e. the monks, who followed the rule of St Benedict, or the Regular Canons, who lived according to the rule of St Augustine. The scope is European with a special interest in French and British kingdoms. A study of criminal practices, the profiles of offenders and victims, the circumstances and motivations of the crime reveals the permeability of the monastery to worldy attitudes. Indeed, monastic ideals, which exalt humility, self-control and forgiveness, at times came into conflict with the individual’s desire to defend his/her honour by seeking revenge. Finally, the present study focuses on the way monastic justice operated – which is, simultaneously, disciplinary and administrative, penitential and penal. By the 12th century, monastic delinquents had ceased to be disciplined only by the abbot and were examined and chastised by new monastic authorities of the religious orders (general chapter, definitorium) or by the bishop or the pope. From the 12th to the end of the 15th century, the religious orders and communities developed a judicial and penal system. Nevertheless, if the correctio was aimed at preserving the Church’s integrity by avoiding scandal, it also sought to amend the culprit, whose absolution and reconciliation to community remained the ultimate goal

Full textThe valley of the scholars was an order of regular canons founded around the year one thousand two hundred and one by four masters of theology in Paris who, at the time when the university was created, wanted to remind their colleagues of the prime meaning of the word scholar, that is to say a disciple of Christ. Though they were the contemporaries of the mendicant’s established in town, they left the urban environment to live as hermits in a remote valley on the borders of champagne. Joined by many disciples they spread and organized themselves into an order approved by the pope. They adapted themselves to the evolution of their time and renewed with the town and the intellectuals. The order owned twenty eight priories which were divided into three groups having their own originality: the first group depending on the famous house Sainte Catherine of Paris was near the king and the university, the second located in the southern Netherlands had a link with the beguines and the last one which could be found in the forests of champagne and burgundy remained attached to a traditional rural environment

Full textEver since the 17th century, historians have been debating when the monastic order of Cîteaux began to include nuns, and whether it did so willingly or not. The order was first devised as an association of abbots and monks. However, the white monks had to find a religious status for their female relatives, since conversion was usually a lineage issue. The solutions varied a lot, especially with the different areas of the Western World. Even Bernard of Clairvaux did supervise nunneries and promoted a model of monastic life so attractive that hundreds of nunneries entered the cistercian order from 1200 on. The general chapter tried to strengthen the abbots' control over the nuns, to the detriment of the abbesses and of their own filiation system. The paternity over the nunneries was centralized by Cîteaux and Clairvaux. Around 1300, while the order had lost most of its original features, its institutions were in a perfect state

Full textThis work studies the links between politics and religion in St. Albans Abbey (England) : the intellectual productions of the scriptorium of this Benedictine monastery are discussed in connexion with the way political power and contemporary debates were represented and examined. This work starts with a survey of the links which existed between the monastic community, those involved in politics, and the institutions of the realm. Monks were involved in many different ways in the government of the realm. These activities, the importance of the monastery – place of devotion situated on a major road – explain that monks are to be found in multiscale networks : monks and laic officers were acquainted to local county officers and to nobility. These personal, institutional and sometimes commercial links help us explain some of their opinions about courts and politics. The analysis of the intellectual productions of the St Albans monks is the occasion to understand how one topic – power – is perceived by men whose life experience were different, whereas all had undertaken the same vows in front of God and the rest of the community of St Albans. Hence, representation of political life and contemporary debates by the monks in chronicles is studied and compared to the reflexion on the nature and the limits of royal power in treatises. These reflexions were nourished by various crises, including parliamentary crises, where old debates about the exercise of power were revived. Some of these ideas about the links between temporal and spiritual powers were put on a new light by the proposition of the theologian John Wyclif, Lollards, and also by the new promulgation of statutes intended to limit papal intervention in the English realm. These questions are the subject of a more theoretical part of the study, where I analyse how monks wrote for both kings and popes, depending on the circumstances, but most of all for their own community, in a time when many discussions focused on monastic endowment. This works is an intent to put religious problematics at the heart of our approach to medieval political culture, taking the point of view of men at the crossroad between politics and religion, in a time when the line between political power and spiritual powers was contested
Perrochon, Cécile. "L'architecture bénédictine en Berry aux XIe et XIIe siècles." Paris 10, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA100085.
Full textBenedictine monachism was firmly established in Berry, and thrived there throughout the XIth and XIIth centuries. In those times, numerous were the religious edifices which depended on saint Benedict's rule. Nowadays, some of them constitute particularly noticeable examples of romanesque art. Between 613 and 1093, thirteen abbeys were founded. They ruled over three hundred and twenty one churches scattered all over Berry. The architectural analysis of the formers throws light on recurring structural as well as functional elements which seem less obvious in the latters. For that matter, considering the non benedictine edifices of the area shows that they bear a close relation to the churches on which this study focuses. We can therefore infer that there are no artistic characteristics specific to that order, whose role was probably limited to spreading the influence of such great monasteries as Cluny or Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire

Full textThis study concerns a collection of discourses from the work of neophytus the recluse: the book of the catechetical sermons. Neophytes, a priest, monk and recluse (1134-1219) is of interest to all historians and philologists due to his fascinating life and personnality without any formal education and therefore, self-taught, he was the founder of a monastic community and the author of important spiritual works. The study aims at providing a critical editors of the text, a translation into french and a historical commentary of a part of the collection of the catechetical sermons. The chosen texts, unpublished up to the present day only constitute a part of the recluse's work. A study has also been proposed on the "bibliotheque sainte" of the monastery including manuscripts containing the written works of the recluse with a view to describing more fully the unique manuscript with the catechetical sermons provide us with. This manuscript, kept at the bibliotheque nationale de paris (paris. Suppl. Gr. 1317 olim metochion s. Sepulcri 370), is the original manuscript containing notes made by the recluse himself it consists of two books containing 24 and 32 catechetical sermons respectively. Furthermore, this study examines precise details on the liturgy and life of the monastic community of which neophytos undertook the management and more generally on the monastic institution in cyprus. Our aim is neither to judge (or judge on the basis of the principles of the time in which he lived) nor to correct the recluse who, despite these new paleographic factors, hides himself discreetly in his enkleistra, a unique exemple of a recluse for all of us who are on the outside

Full textIn 1226 Francis of Assisi, sick and close to death, dictated his testament in which he forbade to his friars to put glosses in the Rule [mittere glossas in Regula] and invited to understand [intelligere] and observe without comment [sine glossa] his indications. Three centuries later all the texts which reflected on the Rule, commenting it entirely or partially, were collected in some books of the beginning of XVI century called Specula Minorum or Firmamenta ordinis Minorum. They were several tens of texts belonging to different literary typologies: papal declarations on the Rule, Constitutiones of the general chapters of the friars, letters, treatises, questiones and Expositiones super Regulam. In three centuries, therefore, not only the Francis’ prohibition was ignored but the friars created a collection of texts which commented the Rule in different ways and forms. Drawing up these texts, the friars Minor developed in these centuries an exceptional number of reflexions about the Rule mainly if we compare this textual production with the one of other religious Orders. The thesis analyses a specific typology of texts present in this corpus of works, the Expositiones super Regulam, trying to investigate who are the actors, which are their goals, to which public they addressed and who were the ones who read and copied them. Once we had these details the Expositiones could be valorised as useful sources to rebuild some aspects of the history of the minoritic Order related to the social and cultural history of Late Middle Ages. The Expositiones super Regulam could be defined as a specific literary typology starting from two elements: an always identical structure formed by the quotation of a lemma of the Rule followed by a part of comment and a primarily exegetic goal. Through these criteria I identified twenty texts: • The Expositio super Regulam of Four Masters, • The Elucidatio super Regulam of Hugh of Digne, • The Expositio Regulae of David of Augsburg, • The one of John Pecham,• The one of the Pseudo-Bonaventure or of the Pseudo-Pecham,• The Declaratio Regulae of John of Wales, • The Expositio super Regulam of Peter John Olivi,• The Brevis Expositio Regulae • The one of Angel Clareno, • The anonym Expositio Regulae inside the manuscript Sankt Florian, Stiftsbibliothek, XI 148,• The one of Bartholomew of Pisa,• The Dechiaratione dela Regola of John of Capistrano,• The Expositio Regulae et Constitutionum of Christophe of Varese,• The Serena conscientia of Alexander Ariosto,• The Lucerna fratrum Minorum of Jaime de Alcalà,• The Expositio Regulae of Bartholomew of Brendola,• The one of Augustin of Alfeld,• The two Dialogues of John Pili of Fano.In the first part I analyse every Expositio Regulae. For every Commentary I give the same, fundamental elements: the contextualisation in the history of the Order, some indications about authorship and dating, the public, the goals, the relations with other texts and, finally, an analysis of the structure.

Full textThe history of the Landévennec Abbey (Finistère) from its foundation at the end of the Fifth or at the beginning of the Sixth century to the middle of the Twelfth century is documented by an extraordinary conjunction of both hagiographical and archaeological sources. The vitae produced in its scriptorium in the second half of the Ninth century, their legendary founder’s, st. Guénolé, and st. Paul Aurelian’s, which was ordered by the neighbouring bishopry of Léon, allow for a better understanding of the intellectual upbringing of its well-reads, who know most of the works and master the literary techniques qualifying the cultural revival of that time. They form a real hagiographical school able to gather the old traditions and work them upon fresh perspectives. Under the impulse of its abbot and hagiographer Gurdisten, the community undergo a deep process on its memory and identity. Its hagiography then carry the image of a traditional celtic monastery adapting willingly to the religious Carolingian reforms, especially the Benedictine rule, it actively contributes to expand in Brittany, which is in the process of a political and cultural integration to the Empire. This event is announced and symbolized by the perfect conformity of the monastery architecture to the new Benedictine standards. The monks enjoyed the support of the countal and royal lineage of Cornouaille they chose to associate closely to their foundation, contributing with the Grallon character to their dynastic legend as well as to the history of Brittany

Full textThis study aims to analyse, from a double practical and ideological point of view, the place of monks and monasteries in the early medieval hispanic society, apart from Catalonia and al-Andalus. The functions of monasteries were in part traditional and in keeping with the ones they fulfilled elsewhere in the christian West. The rise of monasticism – that is, the foundation of monasteries, their increase in wealth trough donations, their ability to feed themselves with new recruits – may be explained by the belief in the doctrine of salvation, which incited every one to strive for his own redemption and that of his relatives. However, the abundance of monasteries in the peninsular christendom also depended on other factors : economic, political and memorial strategies of the elite ; ability of rural communities to make appear from themselves small monasteries ; expansion of the northern realms at the expense of al-Andalus. The proliferation of monasteries was boosted by the fluidness of the normative framework in which they took place and which favoured a wide range of formal adaptation, in such a way that many modest monasteria were not easy to distinguish from simple rural churches – one of their essential functions being to serve as places of worship. The big monasteries also took part in the social control and pastoral care, thanks to the hold on the episcopal functions, celebration of liturgical ceremonies opened to lay people, ownership of rural churches and privileges of immunity that put them at the head of authentic seigniories. The border situation of the early medieval Iberian Peninsula gave to monasteries a peculiar tone. As well as they suffered from the muslim assaults, they took part in the defence of the christian territories. In such a context, part of their usual functions were redirected to specific applications, of which the attention to the lot of prisoners or the development of a bellicist liturgy at the end of the 11th century are good examples. The social functions assumed by monasteries and the prestige of the monastic way of life explain that the monks, in practical terms, held a central position in the running of society. However, this role was not enough to make emerge, in discursive terms, the idea – promoted at the same time by some big monasteries north of the Pyrenees – that the monks were the elite of a christian society hierarchically organized by a criterion of purity and claimed, for that very reason, to be at the top of the social order. The visigothic tradition in which hispanic monasticism was rooted may partly explain that it remained for long impervious to the ultra-pyrenean monastic trends. At the end of the 11th century, a process of normalization drove the iberian monasteries into a new phasis of their history

Full textHagiographic production written during the ducal period in Normandy (911-1204) has never been the subject of an exhaustive and rigorous study. It was impossible to have precise and certain statistical data on the characteristics, even if only quantitative, of this production: its division by centuries, the relationships between the texts of known authors and those written by anonymous authors, the distribution between the number of ancient or medieval saints, the hagiographic subgenres (vitae, passion, miracula, translations), the "typologies of holiness" (bishop, abbot, laity, woman, etc.). This situation, which is detrimental to the criticism of texts, is due first of all to the difficulty of processing hagiographical texts in terms of the history of literature: too many authors remain anonymous, many texts are not dated and their place of production remains uncertain. Thus, if hagiography is an essential source of Norman history, the conditions of its production and dissemination have not been studied in a global way, nor have they given rise to the creation of research tools.This thesis aims to fill this gap, both by creating a Repertorium (with a "chrono-geo-hagiographic" database, allowing a mapping of medieval Norman production) of hagiographic texts written during the period 911-1204, and by opening critical and historical reflection on this corpus. The aim was to research and understand the centres of hagiographic production; to show the relationships between the texts, authors, libraries and institutions where these documents were produced; to understand the work of the authors (research and use of sources, literary choices); to explain the motives (religious, pastoral, liturgical, but also political and economic) that are at the basis of medieval hagiographic writing

Full textFrom the middle of the ninth century to the middle of the twelfth century, at Saint-Sauveur de Redon, Saint-Magloire de Léhon, Dol and Alet/Saint-Malo, there appears to be a close link between writing, history and identity. Basing our analysis on the exemples of those two abbeys and those two episcopal sees, we shall see how the writing of texts interact with the ideological and cultural framework of the time. On a broader level, this study is rooted in the historical revision on the fonction and uses of the past and how, in particular, it may come to shape the identities of the monastic communities and the episcopal sees. We shall focus on the whole textual production, be it hagiographic, historiographic or diplomatic, in the light of the recent developments in hagiographic studies as regards the practice of writing. The analysis of how the founding events in the history of the monastic communities and the episcopal sees were recorded into words and then put into perspective has revealed that it was at the key moments when the ecclesiastical and secular powers were redefined – especially in the second half of the ninth century and from the end of the eleventh century to the middle of the twelfth century – that they all took to writing down the memory of their past, elaborating discursive strategies that would legitimize or delegitimize contemporary events

Full textThe introduction defines the subject, the chronographical and geographical space, then presents the method of investigation and processing of the collected data, using computer procedures. It ends with a rapid survey of the population, the toponymy and the survey and register. A first section follows concerning the gallo roman period. It is a survey about a rural environment with a dispersed habitation or sometimes dwellings in villages. A survey is carried out about housing, water conveniences and economical activities. A part is devoted to the questions of religion, funerals, and to roads. A second section deals with the early middle age : name of the places mentioned in the "charter of clovis", study of agricultural establishments, development of religious structures, presentation on the first castles and finally a summary about local craftwork. In conclusion, a summary is presented. The area studied appears as a totally rural sector, with differences according to the period, in the way in which the land was occupied depending on the quality of the land and the altitude. No drastic change was noticed between the antiquity and the early middle age

Full textIn the north of the kingdom of France and more particularly in mediaeval Picardy, the history of the diocese of Noyon, apprehended from the point of view of the relations between aristocracy and religious communities from the end of the 9th to the beginning of the 12th centuries, reveals a relative documentary exception :in Vermandois as in Noyonnais, a certain profusion of sources (essentially diplomatic) allows a refined understanding of the place of the abbeys and chapters in the manifestation of secular religious policies. The same sources require special but not exclusive attention to the comital and episcopal policies in this area. However, for the whole period chosen, the latter were too often perceived as structured and linear blocks. It is necessary to overcome these impressions of homogeneity and immobility by showing the diversity and evolution of the reciprocal influences uniting on the one hand the religious communities, on the other hand the counts of Vermandois and the bishops of Noyon. While the churches of the studied diocese have been regarded as key places of expression of the fidelity of the second-rate aristocracy towards the high princely powers, we must also question the religious behavior of all the powerful (especially castellan) in order to show how they demonstrate individualized attitudes and contribute to drawing the contours of local authorities. In other words, the relations between aristocrats and religious communities, studied both in their material and spiritual aspects, are part of political societies polarized by the prince, whether the latter is bishop of Noyon, count of Vermandois or even castellan ?
