Abstract

This atlas is the result of a three-year collaborative project with partners from northern EU countries, as well as Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the USA and Russia and gives a detailed overview of circumpolar soil resources relevant also to agriculture, forest management, water management, land use planning, infrastructure and housing and energy transport networks. In a clear style, the atlas describes the origin and major characteristics of the different soil types that can be found in this environment. The atlas is a visually stunning publication using striking maps, informative texts and dramatic photographs to explain and illustrate the great diversity of soils in northern landscapes.

Abstract

Copiés sur parchemin ou sur papier, évangéliaires et recueils liturgiques s’ouvrent sur de magnifiques frontispices et se parent de miniatures aux couleurs vives illustrant les scènes de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Testament ou la vie des saints. Le fonds arménien de la Bibliothèque nationale de France est aujourd’hui riche de quelque 350 manuscrits et, pour les XVIe et XVIIe siècles, de près de 70 % de la production de livres imprimés. Pays à la géographie tourmentée ravagé par les invasions successives, l’Arménie, premier État converti au christianisme, s’est construite tout entière autour d’une religion et d’une langue. L’alphabet arménien, inventé au Ve siècle pour lire et traduire la Bible, déploie ici ses différents styles, tandis que dans les marges lettrines et lettres ornementées prennent la forme de végétaux ou d’animaux fantastiques. À partir du XVIe siècle, alors que se perpétue encore la tradition manuscrite, les premières imprimeries, installées alors en Europe, éditent, pour les marchands arméniens qui sillonnent le monde, des livres de dévotion et de divertissement agrémentés de gravures. L’impression de la Bible en arménien en 1666 à Amsterdam constitue un événement éditorial, que renforce la parution de nombreux ouvrages religieux mais aussi d’érudition et de littérature permettant, tant en Orient qu’en Occident, une plus large diffusion du patrimoine culturel arménien. La cinquantaine de pièces présentées, acquises dès le règne de François Ier puis principalement sous celui de Louis XV, témoignent de la constance de l’intérêt et de la curiosité que suscitent depuis toujours l’Arménie et sa culture en France.

Abstract

The Favor of Friends offers the first book-length exploration of intercession—aid and advocacy by one individual or group in behalf of another—within early medieval aristocratic societies. Drawing upon a variety of disciplines and historiographical traditions, Sean Gilsdorf demonstrates how this process operated, and how it was ideologically elaborated, in Carolingian and Ottonian Europe, allowing individuals and groups to leverage their own, limited interpersonal networks to the fullest, produce new relationships, gain access to previously closed spaces, and generate interest in their agendas from those able to effect change. The Favor of Friends enriches our understanding of early medieval politics and rulership, offering a model of political interaction in which hierarchy and comity do not stand in ideological and pragmatic tension, but instead work in integrated and mutually-reinforcing ways.

Abstract

German historians long assumed that the German Kingdom was created with Henry the Fowler's coronation in 919. The reigns of both Henry the Fowler, and his son Otto the Great, were studied and researched mainly through Widukind of Corvey's chronicle Res Gestae Saxonicae. There was one source on Ottonian times that was curiously absent from most of the serious research: Liudprand of Cremona's Antapodosis. The study of this chronicle leads to a reappraisal of the tenth century in Western Europe showing how mythology of the dynasty was constructed. By looking at the later reception (through later Middle Ages and then on 19th and 20th century historiography) the author showcases the longevity of Ottonian myths and the ideological expressions of the tenth century storytellers.
