Publication – Melodie H. Eichbauer, « Law in a Culture of Theology. The Use of Canon Law by Parisian Theologians, ca. 1120–ca. 1220 »

Publié le 13 mars 2025 par RMBLF

Law in a Culture of Theology: The Use of Canon Law by Parisian Theologians, ca. 1120–ca. 1220 considers the study of law within its intellectual environment. It demonstrates that theologians associated with the schools of Paris in the twelfth century, particularly Peter the Chanter and his circle, had a working knowledge of Romano-canonical tradition and thought about the human context of the law, which, in turn, reflected the environment in which each master worked. It begins by showing the extent to which law was woven into the fabric of the schools of Paris, and follows with individual case studies.

These case studies—marriage in Hugh of St. Victor’s De Sacramentis and Peter Lombard’s Sententiae, excommunication in Peter the Chanter’s Summa de sacramentis et animae consiliis, crusade activity and heresy in Robert of Couçon’s Summa penitentiae, homicide in Robert of Flamborough’s Liber poenitentialis, and the faces of greed in Thomas of Chobham’s Summa confessorum—demonstrate how each theologian drew upon legal thought, for what end he was using it, and how his use of law fit into contemporary legal thinking. A competency in law proved valuable to, and was tailored for, different types of ecclesiastical roles: teachers showing students how to analytically navigate complex questions of pastoral care, papal judge-delegate on the cusp of full-time administration on behalf of the papacy, penitentiarius of St. Victor and the students at the University of Paris, or diocesan management.

This book will be a useful resource for all students and researchers interested in medieval canon law, medieval theology and pre-modern law.

Melodie H. Eichbauer is Professor of Medieval History at Florida Gulf Coast University, U.S.A. Her research focuses on the dissemination of legal knowledge; the interpretation of law; and the ways in which social, political, and intellectual developments and trends shaped both between c.1000 and c.1500. She authored the second edition of Medieval Canon Law, an expanded and revised version of the first edition by James A. Brundage (2023). She is the editor of A Cultural History of Genocide, Vol. 2: The Middle Ages (2021), the co-editor with Danica Summerlin of The Use of Canon Law in Ecclesiastical Administration, 1000–1250 (2018); and the co-editor with Kenneth Pennington of Law as Profession and Practice in Medieval Europe: Essays in Honor of James A. Brundage (2011).

Publication – Alessandro Barbero, « All’arme! All’arme! I priori fanno carne! »

Publié le 13 mars 2025 par RMBLF

Le rivolte popolari del Trecento, sostiene Alessandro Barbero, rivelano nei protagonisti consapevolezza dei loro interessi e chiarezza di obiettivi. Furono semi gettati nel futuro.
Antonio Carioti, “la Lettura – Corriere della Sera”

«All’arme! All’arme! I priori fanno carne!» grida un artigiano per incitare alla rivolta. È il 20 luglio del 1378, siamo a Firenze in piena rivolta dei Ciompi, una delle tante che infiammano l’Europa nel corso del Trecento. Rivolte popolari che arrivano completamente inaspettate. Durano pochissimo, talvolta solo qualche settimana, poi vengono represse. Ma in quel poco tempo succedono cose tali da rimanere per sempre incise nella memoria collettiva.

Utilizzando le cronache del tempo, Alessandro Barbero ci fa rivivere la concitazione, l’entusiasmo, la violenza di quelle giornate in cui una massa di persone decise che il futuro così come lo vedeva non gli piaceva e provò a cambiarlo.

Alessandro Barbero ha insegnato Storia medievale presso l’Università del Piemonte Orientale. Ha vinto il Premio Strega nel 1996 con il romanzo storico Bella vita e guerre altrui di Mr. Pyle, gentiluomo, ha collaborato per molti anni con il programma Superquark di Piero Angela e i suoi podcast sono tra i più seguiti. Tra le sue molte opere per Laterza: Carlo Magno. Un padre dell’Europa; La battaglia. Storia di Waterloo; 9 agosto 378 il giorno dei barbari; Barbari. Immigrati, profughi, deportati nell’impero romano; Benedette guerre. Crociate e jihad; Lepanto. La battaglia dei tre imperi; I prigionieri dei Savoia. La vera storia della congiura di Fenestrelle; Donne, madonne, mercanti e cavalieri. Sei storie medievali; Le parole del papa. Da Gregorio VII a Francesco;Caporetto; Dante; L’aristocrazia nella società francese del Medioevo.

Appel à contribution – La ruse au Moyen Âge et dans ses représentations médiévalistes

Publié le 12 mars 2025 par RMBLF

Marine Briey, Maxime Danesin et Justine Breton (Université de Lorraine) organisent, avec le soutien de l’UR Sciences de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge (SAMA), une journée d’étude sur le sujet “La ruse au Moyen Âge et dans ses représentations médiévalistes“. La journée aura lieu le vendredi 20 juin 2025 au Campus Lettres et Sciences humaines (23 boulevard Albert Ier) de Nancy.

Date limite d’envoi des propositions : 30 avril 2025.

Omniprésente, insaisissable, protéiforme, ambivalente… la ruse apparaît comme une notion complexe et variable, capable de fourvoyer et d’échapper aux tentatives de définition définitive. Ruses militaires, politiques, amoureuses, érotiques, économiques, artistiques, etc., ses domaines d’action sont pluriels et ne sauraient se limiter à la question du mensonge ou du déguisement.

La densité et la complexité de cette notion se manifeste au niveau de la langue elle-même au Moyen Âge. Référant initialement, en ancien français, aux « détours du gibier dans sa fuite », le mot ruse désigne par la suite la « tromperie, astuce, feinte », soit un art du retournement, voire du détournement. Tantôt valorisée et assimilée à l’intelligence, à la finesse, à l’habileté, tantôt condamnée par son association à la perfidie, à l’hypocrisie, à la déloyauté, la ruse et ses multiples acceptions constituent un ensemble axiologique contrasté et ambivalent.

Cette densité sémantique se retrouve également dans le terme médiéval d’engin. Compris à la fois en tant que faculté (l’habileté, l’ingéniosité, mais aussi l’art, le savoir-faire, le talent) et le produit de cette intelligence (l’invention, le dispositif, la machine), l’engin semble, à ce titre, se rapprocher de ce que les Grecs appelaient mètis, cette forme d’intelligence pratique, à l’acception variable, décrite de façon fameuse par Marcel Détienne et Jean-Pierre Vernant (2018 [1974]). « Bigarrée », « ondoyante », la mètis « a pour champ d’application le monde du mouvant, du multiple, de l’ambigu » (Détienne et Vernant, 2018, p. 36) ; plus encore, « sa souplesse, sa malléabilité lui donnent la victoire dans les domaines où il n’est pas, pour le succès, de règles toutes faites, de recettes figées, mais où chaque épreuve exige l’invention d’une parade neuve, la découverte d’une issue cachée » (ibid., p. 38).

Au-delà du lexique, le long Moyen Âge (Le Goff, 2004) forge des figures littéraires et légendaires, mythologiques et historiques, dont certaines sont devenues emblématiques de la notion même. Impossible de ne pas penser à Renart, dont la description première visait déjà à l’établir comme parangon de la ruse :

Ce goupil est à nos yeux le symbole de Renart, lui qui fut un maître accompli : tous ceux qui sont versés dans la ruse et les artifices sont désormais appelés Renart, à cause de Renart et du goupil. L’un et l’autre étaient très savants dans leur art. Si Renart sait couvrir de honte les hommes, et si le goupil de son côté trompe les bêtes, c’est qu’ils appartenaient bien à la même race, suivant les mêmes mœurs et partageant les mêmes sentiments. ( Le Roman de Renart, présentation et traduction de Gabriel Bianciotto, Le Livre de Poche, « Lettres gothiques », 2005, p. 99.)

Les Loki, Taliesin, Samak, Shéhérazade, Mélusine, Till Eulenspiegel, Machiavel, Sun Wukong et autres participent à incarner et façonner la ruse de bien des façons, au-delà des frontières culturelles et géographiques. Temporelles, également, au regard de la pérennité de certaines de ces figures dans les productions médiévalistes. La ruse y est déployée (et célébrée) à grande échelle, quels que soient le genre ou la forme narrative, au point qu’elle semble devenir une caractéristique centrale des personnages médiévalistes. On la croise ici dans une nouvelle itération de Renart (De Cape et de Crocs), là dans les nombreuses réécritures de Robin des Bois et Sinbad. Elle prend ses quartiers dans les anciens et nouveaux classiques de la fantasy, du Hobbit à The Witcher, en passant par Game of Thrones. La parodie reste un de ses lieux d’action privilégiés (Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk, Konosuba), tandis que son aspect sulfureux persiste à bien des degrés, en témoignent les œuvres de la littérature Young Adult américaine (A Court of Thorn and Roses) et les mangas (Spice and Wolf). La ruse se donne également à manipuler dans les jeux de rôle papier (Donjons & Dragons) et numériques (World of Warcraft, Assassin’s Creed), se recodifiant à travers des règles et classes (cf. la figure du Rogue) qui ont su s’installer au cœur de la fantasy contemporaine.

Cette journée d’étude vise à analyser les formes, enjeux et héritages de la ruse médiévale, en s’intéressant aux concepts auxquels elle renvoie ainsi qu’à ceux qui la pratiquent ou en sont victimes. Toutes les approches sont les bienvenues, y compris les études linguistiques, littéraires, historiques ou encore médiévalistes. Les jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses sont vivement encouragés à soumettre leur proposition de communication.

Axes d’analyse (non exhaustifs) :

La ruse : un anti-héroïsme ? Ambivalence morale et éthique de l’acte déceptif
Ruses masquées : jouer avec les apparences et reconfigurer les données du réel
Ruses de guerre, ruses militaires, ruses politiques
Ruses divines, ruses animales, ruses humaines
Motivations et contextes générateurs de ruse
Ruse et parodie : un art du détournement
La ruse comme moteur narratif
La ruse au-delà des frontières : la figure du Trickster
Ruse genrée, ruse identitaire
Ruse des marges : hors-la-loi et marginaux
Contextes culturels et transculturels de la ruse
La ruse dans tous ses états médiatiques

Colloque – The French of the Celtic Worlds

Publié le 12 mars 2025 par RMBLF

We are holding a conference on 9-11 April 2025 at the University of Bristol to explore French-language texts produced and/or circulating in the Celtic-speaking countries of medieval Britain, in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.

Programme : here

In recent years, much scholarship has been devoted to exploring medieval francophonies outside of
France, including across the Italian and Iberian peninsulas, in Flanders and the Low Countries, as well
as in different regions of Outremer. As a region of early and prolific Francophone textual production,
England has received especial attention, most recently under the rubric of the ‘French of England’.
Within and alongside this work, scholars have been increasingly exploring further francophonies,
including in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Under the rubric of ‘The French of the Celtic Worlds’, this
conference seeks to bring together and develop further these fields of research. Our aim is to (re)assess
French-language works––whether administrative documents or literary texts––produced, circulated,
or translated in Celtic-speaking territories, to consider various modes of cultural and linguistic contact,
and to attend to the wider contexts and dynamics in which these processes are implicated.

The conference is sponsored by the ‘Mapping the March‘ project (ERC/UKRI) and the British Academy Newton Fellowship scheme.

Offre d’emploi – Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the Project « Language Variation in Latin Hagiography of the Long Tenth Century », Ghent University

Publié le 12 mars 2025 par RMBLF

Job Location: Belgium
Job Title: Postdoctoral research fellow on the project « Language Variation in Latin Hagiography of the Long Tenth Century »
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Historical Linguistics

Specialty Language(s): Latin (lat)

Other Specialties: History, Dialectometry

Description:

Vacancy
======
The Faculty of Arts and Philosophy (https://www.ugent.be/lw/nl) at Ghent University (https://www.ugent.be/en) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to contribute to the research project “Language Variation in Latin Hagiography of the Long Tenth Century”.

This unique opportunity involves a funded postdoctoral position at UGent, under the supervision of professors Steven Vanderputten (https://research.flw.ugent.be/nl/steven.vanderputten) and Anne Breitbarth (https://research.flw.ugent.be/nl/anne.breitbarth). The successful candidate will join a dynamic interdisciplinary team dedicated to advancing the understanding of regional variation of Latin and literary production in the high medieval West, by combining innovative historical analysis with developing new methods for corpus-driven computational dialectology.

Project sketch
===========
By the end of the ninth century CE, vernacular languages had definitively replaced Latin in everyday oral interactions throughout the Carolingian world. However, Latin remained by and large dominant in written culture. So far the assumption has been that its use guaranteed universal intelligibility across the Latin West. However, small scale case studies carried out on specific types of written evidence have revealed strong regional syntactic variation, suggesting that despite general intelligibility, regional Latin cultures were gradually drifting apart. The whole extent of this variation is not yet understood, and its potential for understanding the development of these cultures remains unexplored. Recent developments in computational linguistics and dialectometry hold the promise of mapping this regional variation and thereby substantially enriching historians’ and linguists’ understanding of written culture in the High Middle Ages. At the same time, the dialectometric toolkit still requires expansion in order to adequately deal with the mapping of syntactic variation attested in corpora, so methodologically as well, there is great potential for improving the state of the art.

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the current project aims to achieve just that: combine methodological innovation with new insights into linguistic variation and medieval written culture. As a test case, it will look at a substantial corpus of Latin hagiographies (texts on the life, achievements and cult of saints) and biographies from tenth-century Lotharingia, a contact zone between the Romance and Germanic linguistic areas with a particularly high and well-researched production of such texts. The project is driven by the question of whether the cultural and social dynamics behind the production of this corpus can be linked to patterns in the linguistic variation in the texts, whether influenced by respective substrate languages or emerging (localized) communities of practice. In combining a linguistic and a contextualizing historical approach, the project will break new ground in understanding Latin culture and the circulation of knowledge and ideas in this transitional period of Western society and culture.

Environment
=========
The project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between PIs at the Departments of Linguistics and History of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy at Ghent University, and will be embedded within the Henri Pirenne Institute of Medieval Studies (https://research.flw.ugent.be/en/hpims) and the research group ∆iaLing (https://research.flw.ugent.be/en/dialing). Medieval studies at UGent encompass diverse approaches and fields, including a vibrant tradition for the historical study of religious life and thought in the early and high medieval West and historical linguistics. Interdisciplinarity lies at the heart of the Henri Pirenne Institute’s mission. ∆iaLing brings together scholars conducting research in historical and diatopic linguistics, and is known for infrastructure projects such as the parsed Corpus of Historical Low German (https://www.chlg.ugent.be/) and the parsed Spoken Corpus of the (Southern) Dutch Dialects (https://www.gcnd.ugent.be/en/home/), both led by one of the PIs of the current project.

Qualifications
==========
– A doctoral degree in computational linguistics or historical linguistics with a strong Digital Humanities component, obtained by 1 September 2025.
– Demonstrated experience in working with primary sources written in Latin.
– A strong interest in the history and written culture of the Early and/or High Middle Ages, while not required, is considered an asset.
– Good to excellent English communication skills. Candidates from any linguistic background are welcome to apply.
– Applicants should be able to work in team as well as independently and have a critical and creative mindset.

What we can offer you
=================
– We offer a full-time position as a postdoctoral fellow, consisting of an initial period of 12 months, which – after a positive evaluation – will be extended to a total maximum of 27 months. The PIs of the project, Steven Vanderputten and Anne Breitbarth, are strongly committed to providing quality supervision to the candidate.
– The starting date is 1 September 2025 at the latest. Candidates who are not yet holder of a doctoral degree but are due to obtain it by 1 September 2025 are welcome to apply.
– The Departments of Linguistics and History at Ghent University actively foster a safe working environment for all staff and offer substantial support to its junior researchers. Regular seminars, discussion groups, and a friendly atmosphere contribute to the quality of work and the well-being of all staff.
– The exact salary amount is determined by the Department of Personnel and Organization based on family status and seniority. Precalculated into the project budget are a range of expenses for research purposes.
– All Ghent University staff members enjoy a number of benefits, such as 36 days of holiday leave (on an annual basis for a full-time job) supplemented by annual fixed closing days, a bicycle allowance, and eco vouchers.

Publication – « Graphic Practices and Literacies in the History of English », éd. Matti Peikola, Jukka Tyrkkö, Mari-Liisa Varila

Publié le 12 mars 2025 par RMBLF

Graphic devices such as tables and diagrams and other visual strategies of organising text and information are an essential part of communication. The use of these devices and strategies in books and documents developed throughout the medieval and early modern periods, as knowledge was translated and circulated in European vernaculars. Yet the use of graphic practices and multimodal literacies associated with them have mostly been examined in the context of Latin, Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew, and early vernacular writing remains an under-researched area. This volume brings together contributors from English historical linguistics and book studies to highlight multimodal graphic practices and literacies in texts across a range of genres and text types from the late medieval period until the eighteenth century. Contributions in the volume investigate both handwritten and printed materials, from books in the domains of medicine, religion, history, and grammar, to administrative records and letter writing.

Matti Peikola is Professor of English at the University of Turku, Finland. He specialises in Middle and Early Modern English philology, book studies and historical pragmatics.

Jukka Tyrkkö is Professor of English Linguistics at Linnaeus University, Sweden. His research interests include corpus linguistics, historical linguistics, and history of the book.

Mari-Liisa Varila is a lecturer at the Department of English, University of Turku specialising in late medieval and early modern English book culture.
