Heritage of the Mediterranean ”: a collection that aims to rediscover the spirit of places, to bring them back to life through their history, to arouse the imagination of the past. Each book, based on the most recent research findings, is organized around a privileged theme. From the tales of the first travelers to the tours organized today, Cappadocia has never ceased to amaze explorers and visitors alike, seduced by the combination of striking landscapes and monuments. Shaped by erosion, the soft tuff of the region has also been dug by man from a multitude of dwellings, refuges, tunnels, churches and monasteries. Byzantine archaeological evidence, which dates from the early Christian period to the 13th century, but is especially numerous in the 10th and 11th centuries, shed light on the history and society of this central province of Asia Minor, which was part of the Byzantine Empire until its conquest by the Seljuk Turks at the end of the 11th century. These varied remains partly give us back the life of a large rural population in a region which was not only monastic. By retracing the history of Cappadocia, by promoting the reading of monuments and their decorations, Catherine Jolivet-Lévy convinces us that it is indeed there that the memory of Byzantium remains alive.

L’histoire de la Cappadoce, région rurale et isolée de l’Anatolie orientale que ses Pères de l’Église ont fait connaître dès l’Antiquité tardive et que ses églises rupestres continuent de faire connaître aujourd’hui, éclaire, tout au long des ive, ve et vie siècles, le fonctionnement de l’Empire romain d’Orient. Y a-t-il eu acceptation ou rejet des institutions qui, promues depuis le ive siècle pour assurer son unité, fondent la nouvelle identité de cet Empire ? Quelles furent les modalités d’intégration, civiles et ecclésiastiques, d’un ensemble provincial donné à un système de gouvernement hautement centralisé ? Analysant la position de la région et de ses élites face notamment à la fondation de Constantinople comme capitale de l’Empire romain d’Orient et la christianisation de l’Empire, l’auteur propose une lecture politique et provinciale de la société de l’Antiquité tardive.
