On associe souvent l’époque médiévale à une période sombre et austère. Guerre, famine, épidémies sont en effet trois fléaux bien présents. Et la religion chrétienne impose ses normes morales.
Mais les manuscrits nous transmettent l’image d’une autre facette de la société médiévale, vivante et drôle. À travers les textes et les images mais aussi un espace particulier : les marges. Les bordures des pages sont truffées d’éléments très drôles, parfois satiriques, juste à côté de textes souvent religieux. On peut légitimement se demander quelle partie de la page regardaient réellement lecteurs et lectrices…
À partir de 1250 environ, des « drôleries » envahissent les marges des manuscrits du Nord de l’Europe. Des animaux, monstres, hybrides, etc. s’accrochent aux lettrines ou gesticulent autour du texte. Des saynètes inspirées de la culture populaire se glissent également çà et là. Avec ces marginalia, les miniaturistes ont trouvé un espace d’expression et de liberté. Et le lecteur devient aussi spectateur.
Ces marges sont notamment le lieu d’un renversement du monde, un mundus inversus où l’ordre des choses se dérègle : le lapin poursuit le chasseur, les soldats en armes fuient devant des escargots et l’âne enseigne les Écritures. Des animaux humanisés vont aussi copier et caricaturer l’humain et ses travers. Toutes les catégories sociales, ou presque, deviennent l’objet de moquerie. Et il n’est pas rare que les saynètes soient équivoques voire carrément grivoises.
De nombreux textes révèlent aussi un Moyen Âge vivant et fantaisiste. Le Roman de Renart est un des textes les plus lus, et racontés, du Moyen Âge. Emblématique de ces animaux tournant l’humain en dérision, il marque les esprits au point que son héros, Renart, laissera son nom à l’animal qu’il incarne (nommé goupil auparavant). Les tours qu’il joue à Ysengrin le loup, Chantecler le coq ou Tiécelin le corbeau pimentent souvent les marges des manuscrits.
Le succès des romans chevaleresques dénote aussi un goût affirmé pour une littérature « légère ». Amour, combats épiques, tache de naissance, coups montés, philtre magique, traîtres sans scrupules et un zeste d’érotisme : les ingrédients du Roman de Gérart de Nevers auraient de quoi séduire un producteur de série contemporaine ! Pourtant, c’est bien d’un manuscrit copié au XVe siècle qu’il s’agit.
Explorez la fantaisie des marges et des histoires médiévales dès le 18 septembre au KBR museum.
Jusqu’à l’ouverture du musée, nous vous emmenons à l’époque des ducs de Bourgogne à travers des détails et anecdotes tirés des manuscrits de leur prestigieuse Librairie.

The successful transmediation of books and documents through digitization requires the synergetic partnership of many professional figures, that have what may sometimes appear as contrasting goals at heart. On one side, there are those who look after the physical objects and strive to preserve them for future generations, and on the other those involved in the digitization of the objects, the information that they contain, and the management of the digital data. These complementary activities are generally considered as separate and when the current literature addresses both fields, it does so strictly within technical reports and guidelines, concentrating on procedures and optimal workflow, standards, and technical metadata. In particular, more often than not, conservation is presented as ancillary to digitization, with the role of the conservator restricted to the preparation of items for scanning, with no input into the digital product, leading to misunderstanding and clashes of interests. Surveying a variety of projects and approaches to the challenging conservation-digitization balance and fostering a dialogue amongst practitioners, this book aims at demonstrating that a dialogue between apparently contrasting fields not only is possible, but it is in fact desirable and fruitful. Only through the synergetic collaboration of all people involved in the digitization process, conservators included, can cultural digital objects that represent more fully the original objects and their materiality be generated, encouraging and enabling new research and widening the horizons of scholarship.

The book contains published papers of the conference ‘Textiles & Identity in the Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean: Paradigms of Contexts and Cross-Cultural Exchanges’ of the British School at Athens held at the (Benaki) Museum of Islamic Art in 2016, as well as some new contributions.
The focus in this wide-ranging collection of studies by key scholars in the field is on textiles and their functions in various Mediterranean contexts (and beyond) during medieval and post-medieval times (ca. 10th-19th c.). The scope of the contributions encompasses archaeological, anthropological and art historical perspectives on a great variety of subjects, such as textiles from the Byzantine Empire and the Medieval Islamic World (e.g. Spain, Mamluk Egypt, Seljuk Anatolia), as well as the production and use of textiles in Italy, the Ottoman Empire, Armenia and Ethiopia. The volume offers a state-of-the-art of an often still hardly known area of study of textiles as historical and cultural sources of information, which makes it essential reading for scholars and a larger audience alike.
The book includes contributions by Laura Rodríguez Peinado, Ana Cabrera-Lafuente, Avinoam Shalem, Scott Redford, Maria Sardi, Vera-Simone Schulz, Nikolaos Vryzidis, Marielle Martiniani-Reber, Elena Papastavrou, Jacopo Gnisci and Dickran Kouymjian.
Nikolaos Vryzidis received his PhD from SOAS, University of London, with a thesis on Greek clerical costume of the Ottoman period. He has already published on the subject in journals like Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, Convivium, Iran, JOTSA and Orientalia Christiana Periodica. His research interests are centred on material culture of religion, cross-cultural encounters in the Medieval Mediterranean, and Byzantine-Islamic interchange.

Eric J. Goldberg traces the long history of early medieval hunting from the late Roman Empire to the death of the last Carolingian king, Louis V, in a hunting accident in 987. He focuses chiefly on elite men and the changing role that hunting played in articulating kingship, status, and manhood in the post-Roman world. While hunting was central to elite lifestyles throughout these centuries, the Carolingians significantly altered this aristocratic activity in the later eighth and ninth centuries by making it a key symbol of Frankish kingship and political identity. This new connection emerged under Charlemagne, reached its high point under his son and heir Louis the Pious, and continued under Louis’s immediate successors. Indeed, the emphasis on hunting as a badge of royal power and Frankishness would prove to be among the Carolingians’ most significant and lasting legacies.
Goldberg draws on written sources such as chronicles, law codes, charters, hagiography, and poetry as well as artistic and archaeological evidence to explore the changing nature of early medieval hunting and its connections to politics and society. Featuring more than sixty illustrations of hunting imagery found in mosaics, stone sculpture, metalwork, and illuminated manuscripts, In the Manner of the Franks portrays a vibrant and dynamic culture that encompassed red deer and wild boar hunting, falconry, ritualized behavior, female spectatorship, and complex forms of specialized knowledge that united kings and nobles in a shared political culture, thus locating the origins of courtly hunting in the early Middle Ages.
Eric J. Goldberg is Associate Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
