Textiles were used as markers of distinction throughout the Middle Ages and their production was of great economic importance to emerging and established polities. This book explores tapestry in one of the greatest textile producing regions, the Burgundian Dominions, c. 1363-1477. It uses documentary evidence to reconstruct and analyse the production, manufacture, and use of tapestry. It begins by identifying the suppliers of tapestry to the dukes of Burgundy and their ability to spin webs between city and court. It proceeds by considering the forms of tapestry and their functions for urban and courtly consumers. It then observes the ways in which tapestry constructed social relations as part of gift-giving strategies. It concludes by exploring what the re-use, repair, and remaking of tapestry reveals about its value to urban and courtly consumers. By taking an object-centred approach through documentary sources, this book emphasises that the particular characteristics of tapestry shaped the strategies of those who supplied it and the ways it performed and constructed social relations. Thus, the book offers a contribution to the historical understanding of textiles as objects that contributed to the projection of social status and the cultural construction of political authority in the Burgundian polity.

Licornes, dragons, griffons : la vie des hommes du Moyen Âge, de l'An Mille à la Renaissance, est peuplée de quantité de créatures fabuleuses, mais aussi réelles et redoutées. Les saints Pères du désert, les moines et des prédicateurs dignes de foi assuraient que des bêtes féroces et des créatures monstrueuses et hybrides envahissaient la terre. Et comme ces chimères étaient envisagées à la lumière de la Création, elles suscitaient des interrogations fondamentales. Un cynocéphale était-il véritablement un homme à tête de chien ? Se pouvait-il que Dieu eût créé des créatures aussi horribles ? Au Moyen Âge, l'humanité vivait, en âme et conscience, dans un paradis perdu. De même qu'était perdu à jamais, après la transgression d'Adam et Ève, le merveilleux rapport de subordination que les animaux, créés pour servir Adam, avaient entretenu avec les hommes. Ces derniers ne disposaient pas d'armes efficaces pour affronter les loups, les ours et les sangliers, et à plus forte raison les lions, les tigres et les panthères, au cas où ils les auraient rencontrés. Ce qui n'empêchait pas leur imagination fertile de venir à leur secours pour surmonter leurs craintes. Dans cet essai somptueusement illustré, la grande médiéviste italienne Chiara Frugoni observe et analyse minutieusement des tapisseries, des miniatures, des mosaïques, des sculptures, des tableaux et des encyclopédies illustrées pour nous montrer les mille facettes de la tradition séculaire, aussi symbolique que réelle, qui liait les hommes et les animaux. Autant d'images commentées qui rendent vivante et palpitante cette époque lointaine dont a hérité notre culture. -- Quatrième de couverture.
