Ce volume réunit les 31 contributions des Actes du colloque du CUER MA (2004). Étudier la digression dans la littérature médiévale constituait une sorte de défi. Il ne s'agissait ni de condamner ces excursus ni d'en faire l'éloge. Qui, de l'auteur ou du lecteur, est le plus apte à borner l'espace digressif et à l'apprécier ? Dans les précautions que les auteurs prennent à commenter ou à justifier leur écart, se prononcent les fonctions différentes, mais non exclusives l'une de l'autre, qu'il est censé remplir. La digression se présente comme utile ; qu'elle cherche à amuser, à séduire, à conseiller, à renseigner, à engager à l'action, ou à faire participer le lecteur à l'acte d'écriture, elle relève toujours d'une stratégie. Du XIIe au XVe siècle, son emploi témoigne d'une volonté sommative, avouée, voire revendiquée, dans les encyclopédies, les traités didactiques, les récits de voyages, les chroniques, plus masquée dans les œuvres de fiction, où son usage permet paradoxalement à nombre d'auteurs de renforcer la cohésion d'une matière narrative sujette aux égarements du plaisir de raconter. Lecteurs en quête de sens, nous montrons comme nous sommes portés à découvrir sous l'abondance des mots et le déplacement des points de vue un ordre de la pensée. Quant à l'usage médiéval de la digression, il témoigne d'une littérature qui cherche à définir sa fonction dans la société, son utilité, son pouvoir, qui laisse voir comment elle s'enracine dans une tradition qu'elle ne cesse de renouveler.

Gesta presents original research on developments in the study of art and life of the Middle Ages. The journal embraces all facets of artistic production from ca. 300 to ca. 1500 C.E., in Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the Slavic world. The journal has twice been awarded the annual Van Courtlandt Elliott Prize of the Medieval Academy of America for a “first article in medieval studies judged…to be of outstanding quality.”

In the fourth century the idea arose that the Cross on which Christ was crucified had been found by Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine. Thus began a legend that would grow and flourish throughout the Middle Ages and cause the diffusion of countless splinters of holy wood. And where there is wood, there was once a tree. Could it be that the Cross was made from that most noble species, the Tree of Life? So, gathering characters along the way, the legend evolved into a tale that stretches from the Creation to the End of Time. A Heritage of Holy Wood is the first reconstruction of the iconographic and literary tradition of the Legend of the True Cross. Its broad scope encompasses relic cults, pilgrimages, travellers' tales and the Tree of Life and involves Church Fathers, crusader kings, Teutonic Knights and mendicant orders, all of which influenced the legend's depiction from its earliest representation in manuscripts, reliquaries and altarpieces, to the great monumental cycles of the high Middle Ages. If the holy wood was the medium of medieval memory, A Heritage of Holy Wood reveals the growth rings of fifteen centuries of imagery.

"In the rapidly changing world of the early Middle Ages, depictions of the cosmos represented a consistent point of reference across the three dominant states-the Frankish, Byzantine, and Islamic Empires. As these empires diverged from their Greco-Roman roots between 700 and 1000 A.D. and established distinctive medieval artistic traditions, cosmic imagery created a web of visual continuity, though local meanings of these images varied greatly. Benjamin Anderson uses thrones, tables, mantles, frescoes, and manuscripts to show how cosmological motifs informed relationships between individuals, especially the ruling elite, and communities, demonstrating how domestic and global politics informed the production and reception of these depictions. The first book to consider such imagery across the dramatically diverse cultures of Western Europe, Byzantium, and the Islamic Middle East, [it] illuminates the distinctions between the cosmological art of these three cultural spheres, and reasserts the centrality of astronomical imagery to the study of art history"--Jacket flap.

In Imago Mortis: Mediating Images of Death in Late Medieval Culture , Ashby Kinch argues for the affirmative quality of late medieval death art and literature, providing a new, interdisciplinary approach to a well-known body of material. He demonstrates the surprising and effective ways that late medieval artists appropriated images of death and dying as a means to affirm their artistic, social, and political identities. The book dedicates each of its three sections to a pairing of a visual convention (deathbed scenes, the Three Living and Three Dead, and the Dance of Death) and a Middle English literary text (Hoccleve’s Lerne for to die , Audelay’s Three Dead Kings , and Lydgate’s Dance of Death ).
