Abstract

"This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of 'state', rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De Civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne's reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin and Hincmar's discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De Civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological-historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language"--

Abstract

Les onze articles de Jacques Paul rasemblés dans ce volume, dont l'édition est offerte à l'auteur par le Centre de Recherche SICMA (Sociétés, Idéologies, Croyances au Moyen Âge) de l'Université de Provence, témoignent d'un univers intellectuel dans lequel le lecteur est invité à s'engager, comme le voyageur sur une route nouvelle. Chacun d'eux constitue une approche phénoménologique d'une partie du vécu des hommes du Moyen Âge et de leur perception du monde, fondée sur la critique d'oeuvres littéraires ou artistiques. Miracles et mentalité religieuse, dévotion populaire, symbolique d'une tapisserie de la Création, d'un manteau impérial, d'une représentation de la Rome éternelle, interrogations sur les "schémas imaginatifs", les "attitudes mentales", sur le caractère polyvalent des gestes et des paroles, autant de domaines parfaitement maîtrisés par l'auteur, et l'occasion pour le lecteur de faire, dans la relecture de ces articles dont certains ont été réécrits, de nouvelles découvertes.
