Les historiens médiévistes se trouvent confrontés à des sources qui sont en latin jusqu'à la fin du Moyen Âge, même si la langue française entre dans la littérature puis dans la pratique à partir du XIe siècle. La langue latine ne cesse alors d'évoluer. Dès l'Antiquité tardive elle a acquis des traits propres qui la distinguent de celle que pratiquait Cicéron ; ses transformations se poursuivent en permanence dans les domaines de la grammaire et du vocabulaire. Il a paru bon de provoquer une rencontre sur la situation actuelle de 1 enseignement du latin médiéval en France et dans les pays voisins. Aux historiens médiévistes qui avaient accepté de faire part de leurs expériences se sont ajoutés les linguistes préoccupés de leurs contacts avec l'histoire. Les relations entre histoire de la langue et histoire de la société sont apparues plus étroites que jamais. S'est exprimé en particulier le besoin de fournir aux étudiants, voire aux enseignants et aux chercheurs, un lexique latin médiéval-français, dont les premiers jalons ont été posés au cours de la table ronde conclusive du colloque. Outre le regard jeté sur les bouleversements linguistiques qui se produisent entre les temps mérovingiens et la fin du Moyen Age, les participants du colloque ont proposé des expériences variées, où le vocabulaire, dans sa diversité et ses multiples facettes, prend toujours la première place, de la Catalogne à la Lorraine, de la cuisine à l'héraldique, des temps mérovingiens à l'automne du Moyen Âge.

A member of that first generation trained in the golden age of American history of art between the 1920s and 30s, Millard Meiss (1904-1975) developed a new and multi-faceted methodological approach. On the one hand, the connoisseurship he learned from his first mentor, Richard Offner, was applied in the essays on Tuscan Trecento, from Francesco Traini in Pisan Camposanto, to the disputes between Duccio and Cimabue, to the Assisi problem. On the other hand, his study of the connections between Italy and Flanders and their stylistic crossroads in French illumination was, conversely, stimulated by his encounter with Panofsky, together with a reconsideration of his method now aimed at analysing the meaning of the artwork. A course which led Meiss to focus on the influences of the philosophical and religious climate on art in his famous Painting in Florence and Siena after the Black Death, whose problematic reception in the Anglo-Saxon and Italian milieus sparked a debate on the social history of art. This was coupled with a sensibility for the study of art techniques and restoration resulting in Meiss's personal involvement in the committees for the recovery of the works damaged by the war (ACRIM) and, once again, to rescue Florentine and Venetian heritage after the flood in 1966 (CRIA). Finally, some useful elements to consider the scholar's critical fortune may be seen in his relationships with Italian art historians, within the framework of the likewise difficult acceptance of iconology in Italy.

In these visionary essays, Roy Rosenzweig charts the impact of new media on teaching, researching, preserving, presenting, and understanding history. Negotiating between the ""cyberenthusiasts"" who champion technological breakthroughs and the ""digitalskeptics"" who fear the end of traditional humanistic scholarship, Rosenzweig re-envisions academic historians' practices and professional rites while analyzing and advocating for amateur historians' achievements. While he addresses the perils of ""doing history"" online, Rosenzweig eloquently identifies the promises of digital work, detailin

Prophets of the Past is the first book to examine in depth how modern Jewish historians have interpreted Jewish history. Michael Brenner reveals that perhaps no other national or religious group has used their shared history for so many different ideological and political purposes as the Jews. He deftly traces the master narratives of Jewish history from the beginnings of the scholarly study of Jews and Judaism in nineteenth-century Germany; to eastern European approaches by Simon Dubnow, the interwar school of Polish-Jewish historians, and the short-lived efforts of Soviet-Jewish historians; to the work of British and American scholars such as Cecil Roth and Salo Baron; and to Zionist and post-Zionist interpretations of Jewish history. He also unravels the distortions of Jewish history writing, including antisemitic Nazi research into the "Jewish question," the Soviet portrayal of Jewish history as class struggle, and Orthodox Jewish interpretations of history as divinely inspired. History proved to be a uniquely powerful weapon for modern Jewish scholars during a period when they had no nation or army to fight for their ideological and political objectives, whether the goal was Jewish emancipation, diasporic autonomy, or the creation of a Jewish state. As Brenner demonstrates in this illuminating and incisive book, these historians often found legitimacy for these struggles in the Jewish past.

The narrative artistry of Polybius has received relatively little scholarly attention. Critics have tended to discuss his reflections on the various issues presented in his work or to use him as a source of valuable information about the historical period that he records. This volume, which draws on narratology’s analytical tools, focuses instead on the narrative of the Histories, exploring the sophisticated narrative techniques that have gone into shaping it. In doing so, it pays particular attention to the ways the formal aspects of the text contribute to promoting Polybius’ thematic concerns. Its aim is not only to present the Histories as the work of an author who has taken pains to provide us with a carefully structured story, but also to illustrate how interpretations of this story can be enriched by a sensitivity to factors such as chronological displacements and variations of focalization.
