Legal processes have often been at the core of the public debates. In the West, keeping in mind the political and social chaos between the 18th century and the contemporary world, it is possible to see how circles of opinion often were pervaded and tangled by tales carried out in the courtrooms. The reconstruction of the events as well as of the dynamics that, through these paths, entered into the costume and the society of the time requires the historian to a close analysis of sources as well as of procedures connected to the judicial activity. The essays published in this book aim at providing some elements of reflection about the judicial truth, considering it as a sort of “building” with its epistemological knots and different interpretations, crossing experiences deriving from sociological, historical-juridical, historical-political and politico-logical analysis.

Irlande, terre des saints... Les « saints » ont peuplé l'Irlande au Moyen Âge. Des écrivains ont rédigé leur vie et racontent leurs miracles. Mais quels buts ont poursuivi ces hagiographes ? Ont-ils voulu promouvoir le monastère fondé par le saint ? Ont-ils témoigné du soutien d'une dynastie à un culte. Ont-ils souhaité édifier les fidèles ? Reprenant systématiquement les différentes œuvres conservées du haut Moyen Âge irlandais, l'ouvrage de Nathalie Stalman apporte des conclusions sur le contexte de chaque rédaction. Quels qu'aient été leurs objectifs, les hagiographes ont mis en avant certaines caractéristiques de la sainteté. L'analyse montre qu'au fil du temps, le caractère du saint s'est transformé. Cette évolution révèle des changements dans la société irlandaise, elle suggère une transformation des forces politiques en présence et reflète une transformation des mentalités. Parallèlement, cette étude fait ressortir des éléments de continuité à travers les époques. Le saint irlandais se définit par des caractéristiques propres. Il peut dès lors être comparé à son homologue continental et une telle comparaison est fondamentale à une époque où les missionnaires insulaires débarquent en nombre sur le Continent. En débordant du cadre limité du Moyen Âge irlandais, c'est donc à une meilleure connaissance de l'histoire européenne de la « sainteté » que cet ouvrage contribue.

L'élevage occupait une place importante dans l'agriculture et la vie économique du monde grec. Les sources littéraires ont depuis longtemps été exploitées pour le montrer, mais elles laissent subsister dans notre compréhension du phénomène de larges zones d'ombre qu'un examen attentif des autres sources peut en partie réduire. Il s'agit d'abord de faire l'inventaire de la documentation épigraphique en reproduisant les textes, accompagnés de traductions et de commentaires. Ils permettent d'aborder certaines questions dans une seconde partie servant de synthèse. On voit par exemple que le bétail était largement pris en compte dans la fiscalité grecque ou que certains sanctuaires avaient constitué des élevages sacrés à caractère spéculatif. Surtout, une géographie de l'élevage grec se dessine montrant que le degré d'intégration du bétail à l'agriculture était différent selon les régions du monde grec. Dans certaines, on peut constater la mise en place d'un système agro-pastoral cohérent, alors qu'ailleurs, les troupeaux sont rejetés une partie de l'année au moins en marge de la zone vouée aux cultures. Literary sources have long provided ample evidence that breeding was at the heart of the ancient Greek world's agriculture and economic life. However our understanding of the role of breeding in the Greek world can be greatly improved by looking at other sources. In the first part this book draws up an inventory of the epigraphic evidence available ; inscriptions have been reprinted, translated and commented. Such texts lead to several questions and issues analyzed in the second part of the book aimed at being a synthesis. For instance one will come to realize that cattle was greatly taken into account in the Greek tax system or that some sanctuaries resorted to cattle-breeding for speculative purpose. First and foremost the sources available make it possible to draw a geography of breeding in the Greek world based upon its status within the agriculture of the…
