Publication – Agostino Paravicini Bagliani, « Le monde symbolique de la papauté. Corps, gestes, images d’Innocent III à Boniface VIII »

Entre Innocent III (1198-1216) et Boniface VIII (1294-1303) métaphores, titres, objets, rites, figures animales et savoir médical donnent vie à une opération d’auto- représentation qui n’a pas d’égal dans l’histoire de la papauté.

Publication en ligne – « Appréhender les catégories zoologiques dans les sociétés du passé », éd. Brémont A., Boudes Y., Thuault S. & Ben Saad M.

Accès : ici

Ce volume thématique fait suite au colloque « Appréhender les catégories zoologiques dans les sociétés du passé », tenu en mars 2019 à Paris et qui a réuni une cinquantaine d’historiens, philosophes et scientifiques autour d’un questionnement épistémologique sur les sources et les méthodes permettant d’appréhender les catégorisations des animaux dans les sociétés anciennes.

La richesse de ce colloque, et du volume en résultant, tient tout d’abord à la variété des sociétés évoquées, préhistoriques, antiques ou médiévales mais aussi européennes, asiatiques ou africaines. Elle tient également à une démarche comparatiste permettant de confronter les problèmes méthodologiques communs et d’explorer la diversité des sources qu’elles soient lexicales, iconographiques ou archéologiques.

Table des matières :

Baudouin Van den Abeele – Classifier et inventorier le monde animal : les choix des encyclopédies médiévales latines (VIIe-XIIIe siècles)
Kaouthar Lamouhi Chebbi & Mehrnaz Katouzian-Safadi – La classification des animaux sauvages chez un naturaliste et médecin du Xe siècle Aḥmad Ibn Abī al-Ašʿaṯ

Publication – « Anglo-Norman Studies XLII. Proceedings of the Battle Conference 2019 », dir. Stephen D. Church

The wide-ranging articles collected here represent the cutting edge of recent Anglo-Norman scholarship. There is a particular focus on historical sources for the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and especially on the key texts which are used by historians in understanding the past. There are articles on Eadmer’s Historia Novorum, Dudo of Saint-Quentin’s Historia Normannorum, the historical profession at Durham, and the use of charters to understand the role of women in the Norman march of Wales. Other contributions examine canon law in late twelfth-century England, and Angevin rule in Normandy in the time of Henry fitz Empress. The Old English world is also represented in the volume: there is a fresh investigation into Harold Godwineson’s posthumous reputation, and a new interpretation of the reign of Aethelred the Unready.

S.D. CHURCH is Professor of Medieval History at the University of East Anglia. Contributors: Emma Cavell, Catherine Cubitt, John Gillingham, Mark Hagger, Fraser McNair, Charles C. Rozier, Nicholas Ruffini-Ronzani, Danica Summerlin, Ann Williams.

Appel à contribution – In Sickness and in Health: Pestilence, Disease, and Healing in Medieval and Early Modern Art

14th Annual Imago Conference, University of Haifa

In light of the global turmoil caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, the 14th AnnuaI Imago conference will examine the cultural and artistic impact of epidemics, diseases and healing in the art of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. We hope this examination will not only shed new light on the artistic, social, and political mechanisms of both of these periods, but will also produce fresh insights into cultural and artistic responses to the current global health crisis.

Disease is an inevitable part of the human experience. Whether in times of acute crisis, the most familiar of which is the Black Death of the mid-14th century, or as a constant threat at all other times, diseases evoked varied responses, from theological formulations to the transmission of medicinal knowledge; and, not least, to artistic depictions.

We invite papers from broad and diverse points of view: case studies of iconographies dealing with disease or healings, studies of the artistic responses to specific epidemics, and comparative studies between East and West, the Christian and the Islamic worlds, etc. Interdisciplinary studies and those engaging with the production, reception, and interpretation of art concerned with disease and healing are of particular interest.

Suggest topics may include, but are not limited to:

  • Artistic expressions of medicinal practices
  • Visual components in medical manuscripts
  • Artistic responses to the Black Death and other epidemics
  • Physical and spiritual health – Medieval and Early Modern expressions
  • Diseases and otherness – xenophobic, racist, and anti-Semitic polemical visual expressions
  • Disease and healing between East and West – artistic expressions
  • Disease – theological and moral conceptions
  • Gendered aspects of disease and healing

Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be sent to Dr. Gil Fishhof (gfishhof@staff.haifa.ac.il) no later than September 1st 2020.

Appel à contribution – Diagrams in Science, Science in Diagrams, 1300–1700

Online conference « Diagrams in Science, Science in Diagrams: 1300–1700 »
June 14–18, 2021 (online)

In modern scientific publications, readers will often encounter diagrams providing a visual account of some complex concept or theory. This visual tool, the diagram, has a long, yet ill-understood history in premodern science. While some fields of knowledge, e.g. geometry and astronomy, have used diagrams from its very start, other disciplines of medieval and early modern science (such as medicine and alchemy) adopted this tool of presentation and reasoning at a later stage. This conference seeks to address and compare the development and use of diagrams in all strands of premodern scientific knowledge between approx. 1300 and 1700. This time period is chosen specifically to be able to study the material and medial side of diagrams, and to understand whether and how the introduction of the printing press to the Western World impacted the production, use, and availability of diagrams. Print was restricting the options, since for example, colour was harder to produce, diagrams were not always printed directly next to the related text, and the preparation of woodblocks and copper plates requested other skills than drawing them. At the same time diagrams (like texts, and other visual tools) became wider spread through print. Did this have an impact on the use of diagrams in the various scientific “disciplines” of premodern science? How strongly was diagrammatic thinking part of scientific practice on paper? We believe that we need to study the history of the diagram as part of the “scientific toolbox”, against the backdrop of broader scientific, technological and social developments, to understand more about the use, function, and epistemic value of images in premodern science in general. 

This conference aims at doing so by tracing the emergences and the disruptions of traditions of diagrams in all fields of scientific theory and practice, e.g. (but not restricted to) geometry, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, alchemy, law, theology, and music.

We ask contributors to focus on a limited set of diagrams of one tradition or field and to address, among others, questions such as the following:

1. Do the diagrams under investigation come from a precise tradition or do they form the foundation of such a tradition?
2. What is the scientific/disciplinary context of the diagrams under investigation and how do they relate to it?
3. What is the aim of the diagrams under investigation (illustration, explanation, demonstration, etc.)?
4. How does the medium carrying diagrams under investigation impact their form and role (print, manuscript)?
5. What are the most intriguing visual/graphical features to be found in the diagrams under investigation?
6. How do the diagrams under investigation interact with the text and which vocabulary is used to refer to the diagrams?
7. What justifies the diagrams under investigation to be labelled as ‘diagrams’ (and not ‘tables’, ‘maps’, etc.) and what is a reasonable demarcation line here?
8. How do the diagrams under investigation relate to scientific practices (experiments, taking measures, etc.)?

The conference will take place on June 14–18, 2021, entirely online, in two 90-minute sessions per day. Presentations will be based on pre-circulated papers, which will then be prepared for publication. To participate as a speaker, please send the following documents to sander@biblhertz.it by September 15, 2020:

• a title
• a 300-word abstract
• a short CV, including full name, affiliation and email address

Christoph Lüthy, Radboud University Nijmegen
Benjamin Wardhaugh, University of Oxford
