L'Agenda des Médiévistes

Accès : ici

The transition zone between Africa, Asia and Europe was the most important intersection of human mobility in the medieval period. The present volume for the first time systematically covers migration histories of the regions between the Mediterranean and Central Asia and between Eastern Europe and the Indian Ocean in the centuries from Late Antiquity up to the early modern era.
Within this framework, specialists from Byzantine, Islamic, Medieval and African history provide detailed analyses of specific regions and groups of migrants, both elites and non-elites as well as voluntary and involuntary. Thereby, also current debates of migration studies are enriched with a new dimension of deep historical time.

« Si saint Pierre et saint Paul étaient devant les inquisiteurs, aussi bons chrétiens qu’ils fussent et qu’ils soient, les inquisiteurs les traiteraient assez mal pour leur faire confesser l’hérésie », plaidait Bernard Délicieux devant Philippe le Bel en 1303. C’est sur le Midi de la France, où ceux que l’Église traquait et condamnait comme hérétiques se qualifiaient eux-mêmes de « bons hommes », qu’a porté l’essentiel des études de Jean-Louis Biget : rassembler ici 34 de ses articles écrits depuis 1971 permet de faire ressortir toute la richesse et l’unité d’une recherche majeure sur les dissidences religieuses dans la France médiévale. Né en 1937, Jean-Louis Biget, élève, maître de conférence puis professeur à l’École normale supérieure de Saint-Cloud, a concentré l’essentiel de ses travaux sur la région languedocienne médiévale, principalement Albi, et fut précurseur dans la relecture des mouvements hérétiques de l’Occident médiéval ; il est aujourd’hui une référence de premier ordre en ce qui concerne l’histoire des hérésies languedociennes et de l’Inquisition, en France comme à l’étranger. Dans ce livre fort de plus de 900 pages, il porte son regard sur les nombreux aspects des dissidences languedociennes médiévales.

Un copieux index des noms de lieu et de personne permet au lecteur de s’orienter dans la foule des individus croisés et des lieux arpentés par l’auteur dans ses différents articles.

Gli scritti di Stefano Gasparri hanno contribuito in modo fondamentale allo sviluppo della medievistica in Italia ed Europa. La sua capacità di leggere le fonti con uno sguardo sempre nuovo e attento, ci ha offerto originali interpretazioni degli intricati secoli medievali. Argomenti di rilevanza internazionale, come la storia sociale, culturale e politica italiana ed europea, le origini di Venezia o le molteplici identità etniche delle gentes altomedievali, sono sempre stati affrontati con fresca criticità e avvalendosi di discipline, quali la paleografia, l’epigrafia o l’archeologia.

This books describes the life of Elisa ben Abraham Cresques, known to many as the author of the Catalan Atlas, and focuses on the Jewish aspects of his fascinating career, his professional profile, and his scholarship.

This book presents a small chapter in the intellectual history of the Jews of Majorca. Its key figure is Elisha ben Abraham Bevenisti Cresques (1325–1387) a cartographer in the service of King Peter IV of Aragon and a scribe and illuminator of Hebrew books. Elisha Cresques’ career evolves at a point in time when some of the most fascinating threads of methodological interests relevant to intellectual history meet. He emerges as a hub, so to speak, where mapmaking converged with scribal work, miniature painting with scientific knowledge, and the culture of a minority with that of the majority. How he was able to negotiate his patron’s expectations and his own cultural identity and frame them within the political, cultural, and religious discourses of his time is the subject of this book.

Katrin Kogman-Appel holds an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship in Jewish Studies (2015–2020), which she took up at the University of Münster. A scholar of medieval Jewish book culture, she is the author of Illuminated Haggadot from Medieval Spain (2007), which won the Premio del Rey Prize of the American Historical Association in 2009. Her A Mahzor from Worms (2012) was a finalist of the National Jewish Book Award.
