L'Agenda des Médiévistes

Les ressources matérielles sont un élément de première importance de la compétition au Haut Moyen Âge, en étant l’arrière-plan, souvent le moyen, parfois l’enjeu de la compétition elle-même. D’une part, la compétition conduit ou souvent impose de mobiliser des ressources, d’autre part, ses formes sont affectées par la disponibilité ou la rareté des ressources. Elles sont donc un point d’observation privilégié pour comprendre les systèmes de valeurs et les règles, souvent implicites, qui président alors aux actions des élites. Ce volume est le résultat du troisième colloque organisé à Rome par le groupe international de recherches sur la compétition dans les sociétés médiévales (400-1000). En croisant des perspectives qui tiennent de l’anthropologie et de certaines lignes de l’histoire économique, ce livre prend en considération les formes du rapport entre compétition et ressources dans une grande variété de milieux sociaux et institutionnels de l’Europe occidentale du haut Moyen Âge, de la famille aux élites politiques et religieuses, aux sociétés rurales, aux communautés artisanes et marchandes.

The volume provides a fresh look at the Capetian century (1214-1314) as a period that changed the cultural and political fabric and laid the foundation for the modernisation of the medieval West.

This volume provides a fresh look at the Capetian century (1214-1314), a period that changed the cultural and political fabric and laid the foundation for the modernisation of the medieval West.

The period from the birth of Louis IX to the death of Philip the Fair is remarkable for a series of developments and accomplishments associated with the Capetian kings of France. Innovations in architecture, manuscript illumination, and music all helped shape the cultural fabric of French and European life. Administrative historians emphasize the development of political institutions that have been said to lay foundations of the modern State. ‘Moral reform’, partly in support of the crusading movement, led to various changes in policies toward Jews, prostitutes, heretics, and many other social groups.

This volume brings together essays presented at the Capetian Century Conference held at Princeton University, commemorating two seminal anniversaries bracketing the ‘Capetian Century’ — the Battle of Bouvines (1214), and the death of Philip the Fair (1314).

Cantors made unparalleled contributions to the way time was understood and history was remembered in the medieval Latin West. The men and women who held this office in cathedrals and monasteries were responsible for calculating the date of Easter and the feasts dependent on it, for formulating liturgical celebrations season by season, managing the library and preparing manuscripts and other sources necessary to sustain the liturgical framework of time, and promoting the cults of saints. Crucially, their duties also often included committing the past to writing, from simple annals and chronicles to more fulsome histories, necrologies, and cartularies, thereby ensuring that towns, churches, families, and individuals could be commemorated for generations to come.

This volume seeks to address the fundamental question of how the range of cantors’ activities can help us to understand the many different ways in which the past was written and, in the liturgy, celebrated across the Middle Ages. Its essays are studies of constructions, both of the building blocks of time and of the people who made and performed them, in acts of ritual remembrance and in written records; cantors, as this book makes clear, shaped the communal experience of the past in the Middle Ages.
