This volume analyses the phenomenon of the thefts of sacred relics in Medieval Italy, in particular through the stealthy translationes, the hagiographic stories narrating the transfer of the relics from one place to another after they were stolen. Thanks to the study of historical contexts, narrative dynamics, literary themes and anthropological aspects, the book attempts to reconstruct the richness and complexity of the phenomenon over the centuries, tracing the history of this specific aspect of the cult of saints, which is also the history of the culture and religious imagery of the Middle Ages.

Alors que les travaux sur le culte des saints à l’époque moderne ont largement privilégié ces dernières décennies l’étude de la construction des réputations de sainteté et celle des procédures de canonisation, et donc surtout les figures les plus récentes, ce livre propose de s’attacher à la place que tiennent les saints les plus anciens dans la piété et dans la culture des XVIe et XVIIIe siècles. Quelles que soient les sources examinées, il apparaît en effet que la mémoire du catholicisme moderne est largement organisée autour de personnages portés sur les autels depuis de nombreux siècles. Bien plus, on assiste à la même époque à un regain de ferveur pour les saints des origines, qu’illustrent aussi bien la diffusion des reliques des catacombes romaines dans toute la catholicité que l’intérêt renouvelé pour de « vieux » saints locaux, plus ou moins oubliés avec le temps. Le catholicisme tridentin, notamment en réponse aux attaques protestantes, s’édifie donc en donnant une nouvelle actualité à l’ancien sanctoral, non sans opérer évidemment une nouvelle lecture des figures qui le composent, mises en conformité avec les nouveaux idéaux confessionnels. Mais les enjeux liés à la sainteté originelle dépassent le seul domaine du culte. La réactivation de la mémoire des vieux saints ne saurait ainsi être séparée de stratégies des pouvoirs politiques – des États ou des villes – en quête de renforcement de leurs assises. Plus largement, le corpus de ces figures de sainteté constitue un bien commun, au-delà de la seule institution ecclésiale. La familiarité avec elles est suffisante pour que les diverses formes de productions culturelles (théâtre, littérature, peinture, musique) s’en emparent comme d’un répertoire librement disponible. Le projet qui porte ce livre, fondé sur le croisement d’interrogations conduites sur des documents de divers types, l’inscrit dans le courant actuel d’histoire de la mémoire, c’est-à-dire qu’il accorde une attention particulière, à travers la pluralité des représentations, aux relectures, (ré)appropriations et reconstructions tant des figures singulières que de la cohorte à laquelle ils appartiennent, patrimoine symbolique pour les sociétés des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles

In 1239, king Louis IX of France performed the translation of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople to Paris. The translation celebrations became a splendid religious festivity showing sacral foundations of Saint Louis’s authority and the Capetian kingship. However, the translation of the Crown of Thorns to France had already a history under Louis’s reign: French hagiographers and chroniclers affirmed that the first relics of the Crown of Thorns from Constantinople were transferred to Aachen by Charlemagne, then to Saint-Denis Abbey by Charles the Bald. The book discusses Saint Louis’s translation of the Crown of Thorns as seen on the background of both Carolingian historical memory in Capetian era and Carolingian and Capetian tradition of the royal cult of relics.

The Terahertz frequency range (0.1 – 10)THz has demonstrated to provide many opportunities in prominent research fields such as high-speed communications, biomedicine, sensing, and imaging. This spectral range, lying between electronics and photonics, has been historically known as “terahertz gap” because of the lack of experimental as well as fabrication technologies. However, many efforts are now being carried out worldwide in order improve technology working at this frequency range. This book represents a mechanism to highlight some of the work being done within this range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The topics covered include non-destructive testing, teraherz imaging and sensing, among others.

This reprint gathers works on various coating materials and technologies aimed at the improvement of materials’ properties, such as corrosion resistance or biocompatibility. Systematic studies demonstrate how the structure and morphology of coatings can change the mechanical, chemical and various functional properties of materials. The reprint contributes to the better understanding of various phenomena induced by metal, ceramic or composite coatings in core materials and, thus, it can help in the more rational design of the selected material’s properties in future studies by the application of coatings.
