Between the 11th and the 20th century, the monastery of San Miniato al Monte in Florence played a leading role in the religious and cultural life of the city. The volume analyses for the first time the historical and documentary evolution of this regular institute, famous almost only from the architectural and artistic points of view. The book focuses the period of the bishop's patronage in the 11th century, when the monastery and some of its members emerged in the context of the ecclesiastical reform, and continues with the study of the the Olivetan monks community, during the 14th-16th centuries, to arrive at the important structural and functional, but also semantic, transformations of the monument between the 18th century and the contemporary times.

The book analyses the history of the Jesuat congregation, highlighting the elements of connection and comparison with the social contexts, then describing the origin and the most ancient events of the female branch of the congregation, and the memory of the meeting between the "founder" of the Jesuats and the "foundress" of the Gesuate. The iconographic memory of the initiator of the congregation, Giovani Colombini, the collection of the lauds of the Jesuat Bianco da Siena, and the fortune of the 15th-century Life of Giovanni Colombini, written by Feo Belcari, are also investigated. Then the research reconstructs the constellation of groups, religious experiments and bearers of ideas and devotions that were linked to the Jesuats and, in particular, to the convents of Milan, Siena, Lucca, Venice and Rome and the sanctuaries managed by the congregation. The congregational sociability is analysed along its lines: the practice of work as pharmacists and the cultivation of spiritual friendships with prominent people such as the Countess of Guastalla, Lodovica Torelli. Finally, the erudite use of Colombini's Epistolario as a language text is studied. The volume closes with a documentary appendix on the Jesuat convent of Chiusi.

Le saint, le moine et le paysan. Voilà trois figures de l'homme byzantin auxquelles Michel Kaplan, au long d'une carrière menée à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne de 1969 à 2015, aura consacré une part notable de ses recherches. Professeur d'histoire byzantine depuis 1988 à la suite de Paul Lemerle et d'Hélène Ahrweiler, Michel Kaplan a porté haut les couleurs du byzantinisme français. Historien du monde rural ouvert aux sources religieuses, enseignant soucieux de ses étudiants qu'il a su entraîner dans son sillage, promoteur de Byzance aux concours nationaux de l'enseignement du second degré et du supérieur, homme de convictions et de pouvoir qui présida au destin de son université de 1999 à 2004, passeur enfin d'une discipline exigeante vers un public averti ou simplement curieux de Tout l'or de Byzance (1991) : c'est à plus d'un titre qu'il a semblé nécessaire de présenter à Michel Kaplan, pour ses 70 ans, un volume d'hommage. Ces 35 contributions, que les éditeurs ont voulues substantielles et fondées sur des sources neuves ou reprises à nouveaux frais, sont l'œuvre d'élèves, de collègues français et étrangers, d'amis et de compagnons de route dont les préoccupations répondent aux intérêts du dédicataire. De l'Antiquité tardive au monde des Paléologues, de la campagne à la ville, de l'impératrice à la moniale et de l'empereur à l'évêque, de la monnaie à l'icône mais aussi de l'Italie à la Géorgie, chaque lecteur trouvera dans ce volume au moins une réponse supplémentaire à la question que Michel Kaplan vient à nouveau de nous poser : Pourquoi Byzance ? Un empire de onze siècles (2016).

The main object of this book is a manuscript preserved in Rome but composed in Florence in the middle of the fifteenth century, which transmits a text that is nearly unknown and highly original for at least three reasons. Firstly, the subject matter: a description of the Camaldoli hermitage at a time when this place was highly appreciated. Secondly, the discursive genre: the description of a built landscape, influenced both by humanist ekphrasis and by the tradition of medieval figurative exegesis. Finally, the dedicatee of the work, who is no less than Peter son of Cosimo dei Medici. The book successively examines the medieval and modern tradition of this little work, the identity of its author and the milieu of its production and first reception, and finally the details - some of them completely new - of the description of the Camaldolese hermitage and their textual and figurative tradition. It concludes with a critical edition of the work and the glosses with which it was enhanced in modern times. It is therefore a contribution not only to the history of an important Tuscan monastic centre, but also to that of the cultural and political networks of Tuscany in the second half of the fifteenth century, as well as to the knowledge of the textual and iconographic genres of landscape and monumental description, and finally, in a certain way, of modern Tuscan scholarship.
