Abstract

Soucieux de réconcilier l'érudition "grégorienne" avec les travaux des liturgistes et des philologues, Jean-François Goudesenne scrute dans la genèse du chant "grégorien" l'hypothèse d'une première phase franco-insulaire, enracinée dans l'ancienne Neustrie mérovingienne, vivifiée par les apports monastiques irlandais puis en lien avec des foyers carolingiens piémontais et lombards. Une hypothèse qui permet de reconstruire une genèse d'un grégorien décliné au pluriel, en lien avec d'autres branches. Comme l'écriture caroline, le "grégorien" fut "fabriqué " par étapes progressives, non depuis un centre unique mais à partir de plusieurs matrices. Les multiples interférences de l'oralité sur l'écriture, la nature spécifique des textes chantés comme la fonction manuscrits liturgiques permettent de déceler ses réécritures successives, dégagée des dogmes hérités de cette vision néo-lachmanienne d'un original unique à deux branches opposées d'une historiographie qui a largement valorisé les types Lotharingien et Alémano-germanique de la période ottonienne tout au long des XIXe et XXe siècles. Richement documenté, l'auteur revisite les aires culturelles européennes en inscrivant "l'émergence grégorienne" comme une acculturation évolutive, dans un schéma généalogique bien plus complexe qu'une simple transmission linéaire. Une posture lentement construite à partir d'un vaste corpus, desservie par un large panel de sources dans l'espace de l'Imperium et la profondeur de la transmission longue, qui s'oppose aux méthodes des entreprises bénédictines des années 30-60 comme aux restitutions de l'école post-cardinienne, pour s'inscrire plus volontiers dans la lignée des travaux de Treitler, Van der Werf, Bernard, Saulnier ou Jeffery.

Abstract

Die Halbunziale ist die erste lateinische Minuskelschrift, die bei der Herstellung des handgeschriebenen Buches Verwendung gefunden hat. Ihre Geschichte begleitet jene Epoche des III. ? VIII. Jahrhunderts, die wir als Übergangs- und Umbruchszeit zwischen Antike und Mittelalter wahrnehmen. Es existieren zwei getrennte Ausführungen der Halbunziale, eine ältere östliche und spärlich dokumentierte, eine jüngere westliche und gut sichtbare. Die Studie widmet sich der Schriftgeschichte beider Formen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der besser dokumentierten westlichen Form liegt. Sie ist als Referenzwerk zur Halbunziale konzipiert. Über das rein Paläographische hinaus ist angestrebt, anhand der Entwicklung und Tradition einer maßgebenden Schrift Literatur-, Überlieferungs- und Kulturgeschichte zu illustrieren.0Der Band wendet sich also nicht nur an Paläographen und Philologen, sondern an alle an der Kultur der Übergangszeit Interessierten.

Abstract

"Early medieval manuscripts were commonly annotated not only by glosses but also by annotation symbols. These graphic signs inserted in manuscript margins provided manuscript text with layers of additional meaning and functionality. From the most common signs marking biblical quotations and passages of interest to the sophisticated systems of signs used by some of the early medieval scholars, annotation symbols represent perhaps the most common form of marginalia encountered in early medieval books. Yet, their non-verbal character proved a serious obstacle to their understanding and appreciation. This book represents the first systematic study of annotation symbols used in the Latin West between c. 400 and c. 900. Combining paleographic evidence with the evidence of written sources such as late antique and early medieval lists of signs, this book identifies the most important communities of sign users and conventions in use in the early Middle Ages. It explores some of the notable differences between regions, periods, linguistic communities and classes of users and reconstructs a fascinating history of the practice of using signs, rather than words, to annotate text. Those who work with early medieval manuscripts will, furthermore, find this book to be a practical handbook of the most common annotation symbols attested in early medieval Western manuscripts or discussed in ancient and medieval sources."--

Abstract

"In Families of the King, Alice Sheppard explicitly addresses the larger interpretive question of how the manuscripts function as history. She shows that what has been read as a series of disparate entries and peculiar juxtapositions is in fact a compelling articulation of collective identity and a coherent approach to writing the secular history of invasion, conquest, and settlement."--Jacket. "The annals of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle are fundamental to the study of the language, literature, and culture of the Anglo-Saxon period. Ranging from the ninth to the twelfth century, the Chronicle's five primary manuscripts offer a virtually contemporary history of Anglo-Saxon England, contribute to the body of Old English prose and poetic texts, and enable scholars to document how the Old English language changed."

Abstract

This collection of essays reassesses the varying contexts of the Codex Amiatinus, perhaps the most famous copy of the Bible surviving in Western Europe. The Codex Amiatinus is perhaps the most famous copy of the Bible surviving in Western Europe. A fascinating and elusive manuscript, with a suite of decorated folios, it was made in Anglo-Saxon England around the turn of the eighth century at the twin monastic foundation of Wearmouth and Jarrow as one of three such ‘pandects’. Created at the monastic foundation celebrated in the work of the Venerable Bede, this vast and luxe manuscript was sent by the Northumbrian monks as a gift to the Pope in 716 and, after a sojourn of some 900 years at Monte Amiato (Tuscany), it was donated to the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence in the eighteenth century. As a result of an international conference held to commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the departure of the manuscript from Northumberland and coinciding with the production and presentation of a facsimile of the Codex to the Museum at Jarrow, this volume – the first devoted to the Codex Amiatinus – brings together twelve essays that offer a new appraisal of this remarkable book, and of the contexts that surrounded its production. Encompassing its text, its images, its social, political and ecclesiastical contexts and its later medieval legacy, the contributions to this volume highlight several previously unrecognised aspects and details of the manuscript that further our understanding of the Codex as a book, and as inheritor and progenitor of manuscript traditions in its own right.

Abstract

"Between the late-seventh and the mid-ninth centuries, a debate about sacred images - conventionally addressed as 'Byzantine iconoclasm' - engaged monks, emperors, and popes in the Mediterranean area and on the European continent. The importance of this debate cannot be overstated; it challenged the relation between image, text, and belief. A series of popes staunchly in favour of sacred images acted consistently during this period in displaying a remarkable iconophilia or 'love for images'. Their multifaceted reaction involved not only council resolutions and diplomatic exchanges, but also public religious festivals, liturgy, preaching, and visual arts - the mass-media of the time. Embracing these tools, the popes especially promoted themes related to the Incarnation of God - which justified the production and veneration of sacred images - and extolled the role and the figure of the Virgin Mary. Despite their profound influence over Byzantine and western cultures of later centuries, the political, theological, and artistic interactions between the East and the West during this period have not yet been investigated in studies combining textual and material evidence. By drawing evidence from texts and material culture - some of which have yet to be discussed against the background of the iconoclastic controversy - and by considering the role of oral exchange, Iconophilia assesses the impact of the debate on sacred images and of coeval theological controversies in Rome and central Italy. By looking at intersecting textual, liturgical, and pictorial images which had at their core the Incarnate God and his human mother Mary, the book demonstrates that between c.680-880, by unremittingly maintaining the importance of the visual for nurturing beliefs and mediating personal and communal salvation, the popes ensured that the status of sacred images would remain unchallenged, at least until the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century"--

Abstract

In Picturing the Islamicate World, Nadja Danilenko explores the message of the first preserved maps from the Islamicate world. Safeguarded in al-Iṣṭakhrī's Book of Routes and Realms (10th century C.E.), the world map and twenty regional maps complement the text to a reference book of the territories under Muslim rule. Rather than shaping the Islamicate world according to political or religious concerns, al-Iṣṭakhrī chose a timeless design intended to outlast upheavals. Considering the treatise was transmitted for almost a millennium, al-Iṣṭakhrī's strategy seems to have paid off. By investigating the Persian and Ottoman translations and all extant manuscripts, Nadja Danilenko unravels the manuscript tradition of al-Iṣṭakhrī's work, revealing who took an interest in it and why.
