This volume investigates how historiography became a “profession” from the 13th to the 15th century. As a genre, historiography is difficult to define: inspired by Cicero’s rhetorical rules, humanists were the first to elaborate a specific ars. In doing so, they adapted rhetoric to a new ethical sense of humanitas. Several contributors to this book have already discussed in previous works of theirs the linguistic and rhetorical choices that some important historians made. See, for instance, Tra storiografia e retorica: prospettive nel basso medioevo italiano, ed. M. Zabbia, in «Reti Medievali. Rivista», 19 (2018), especially the papers by Paolo Garbini, Marino Zabbia, and Fulvio Delle Donne. On this occasion, they pay attention to the authors’ direct interventions: their self-representation and reflections on methodological issues reveal a new consciousness, which gradually developed over the centuries. This volume is a part of the PRIN project (the acronym standing for Project of Relevant National Interest) titled “A.L.I.M. (Digital Archive of the Italian Latinity in the Middle Ages: http://www.alim.dfll.univr.it): Practices and theory for computer archiving and philology applied to medieval texts”, which Professor Fulvio Delle Donne coordinates at the University of Basilicata.

Cet ouvrage analyse la formation des rites et traditions dans la Provence de la fin du Moyen Âge, puis leur évolution et parfois transformation en mythe. Ainsi l’entrée royale dont le rituel s’inspire de l’entrée de Jésus à Jérusalem le jour des Rameaux s’enrichit au XVIIe siècle d’un décor d’arcs de triomphe qui développent un discours historique à la gloire du souverain. Ainsi la procession de la Fête-Dieu d’Aix, cortège modeste et pieux à ses débuts au XIVe siècle, devient, à partir du XVIe siècle une parade bruyante et colorée, rythmée par la représentation de tableaux vivants, les « jeux » attribués sans raison au roi René. Un second ensemble d’études s’organise autour des histoires anciennes de la Provence et la constitution de l’image de deux personnages devenus de véritables figures légendaires, la reine Jeanne et le roi René, donnant lieu à une tradition narrative qui parasite encore aujourd’hui l’histoire. Un dernier ensemble d’articles s’attache à quelques récits apocryphes incrustés dans la mémoire collective et que l’on voit périodiquement resurgir : la légende du juif blasphémateur écorché vif à l’entrée de la Juiverie d’Aix, la bénédiction des calissons d’Aix, récit apocryphe à la limite du canular, fabriqué au milieu du XXe  siècle...
