Nūr ad-Dīn played a central role in the history of the medieval Muslim East and even in world history. This prince, of whom his contemporary William of Tire said he was " vir providus et discretus, dux timens Deum, " - a shrewd and remarkable man, a leader fearing God, - and whom Michelet considered in his History of the Crusades as "one of the saints. of Islamism ”, Ernst Herzfeld defined it thus:“ Nūr ad-Dīn Maḥmūd b. Zengī b. Aq Sunqur, of Turkish origin, predecessor of Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf b. Ayyūb, the Ayyubid of Kurdish origin, is a less spectacular figure and also less known in the West, but he is a more remarkable personality and of greater historical importance even than Saladin ”.In order to best retrace the features of this illustrious man and the contours of the historical period during which he distinguished himself, Nikita Elisséeff chose to begin this monograph with a census and a classification of the sources that she used. . She then draws the historical topography of the Zenguid empire, that is to say of Djézire and the whole of Syria, after which she details the internal organization of the kingdom of Nūr ad-Dīn, and in particular its social and economic life. The administrative and fiscal system and the urban / rural life diptych are discussed in the last chapters of this book.

Fruit d’un colloque international réuni à la Casa de Velázquez (Madrid) du 11 au 13 avril 2005, ce volume propose de lire l’histoire de la guerre sainte de façon moins linéaire que de coutume, en acceptant les ruptures, les discontinuités et les nombreux aménagements qui ont été rendus nécessaires par les usages multiples, contradictoires et parfois concurrents de cette notion. À partir d’un fonds commun de principes surgis à la charnière de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge, contenus dans les traditions politiques et religieuses des royaumes chrétiens, l’idée de guerre sainte a été périodiquement ravivée et chaque fois reconstruite à la mesure des besoins de ceux qui la sollicitaient et de leur environnement historique. Elle s’est aussi enrichie. L’appel de Clermont, en 1095, qui suscite la Première croisade et conduit à la conquête de Jérusalem par les Latins ne met pas fin à ce processus. Certes, il devient impossible, à partir du XIIe siècle, d’échapper totalement au modèle de guerre sainte forgé par la papauté, qui, pour l’imposer, dispose d’un contrôle sans précédent sur les mécanismes de sanctification et de pénitence. Cependant, durant tout le Moyen Âge, le référent pontifical qu’est la croisade n’est jamais figé et demeure perméable à tous les aménagements au bénéfice de ceux, rois et princes d’Occident, qui s’en réclament et se l’approprient. En admettant la diversité de la notion de guerre sainte et en croisant les regards portés sur elle, les spécialistes dont les contributions se trouvent ici rassemblées participent de façon importante au renouvellement d’un domaine de recherche qui a été le théâtre, depuis quelques années, de grandes controverses.
