Abstract

Throughout the medieval period, the popular classes were always reckoned as a potential force in society even though it was usually dangerous for them to articulate divergent social, political and religious opinions. Sources on medieval political and social life seem to show us a world of order, acquiescence and consent. Otherwise, they reveal a picture of bloodshed and violent strife. During times of intense conflict, however, the human tongue was always the most frequently used weapon, much more so than the sword or the dagger. The vox populi, though often difficultly retrievable in the sources, was a ubiquitous one within the realm of later medieval politics. The essays collected in this volume deal with such speech acts of political rebels, with political languages of the 'popular classes' in medieval society but also with the subversive twists to speech situations such as preaching, mockery and insults

Abstract

The war on heresy obsessed medieval Europe in the centuries after the first millennium. R.I. Moore's vivid narrative focuses on the motives and anxieties of those who declared and conducted the war: what were the beliefs and practices they saw as heretical? How might such beliefs have arisen? And why were they such a threat? In western Europe at AD 1000 heresy had barely been heard of. Yet within a few generations accusations had become commonplace and institutions were being set up to identify and suppress beliefs and practices seen as departures from true religion. Popular accounts of events, most notably of the Albigensian Crusade led by Europe against itself, have assumed the threats posed by the heretical movements were only too real. Some scholars by contrast have tried to show that reports of heresy were exaggerated or even fabricated: but if they are correct why was the war on heresy launched at all? And why was it conducted with such pitiless ferocity? To find the answers to these and other questions R.I. Moore returns to the evidence of the time. His investigation forms the basis for an account as profound as it is startlingly original.

Abstract

Medieval towns, from Portugal to Hungary to Egypt, were places of contact between members of different religious communities, Muslim, Christian and Jewish, who rubbed shoulders in the ports and on the streets, who haggled in the markets, signed contracts, and shared wells, courtyards, dining tables, bath houses, and sometimes beds. These interactions caused legal problems from the point of view of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim judicial scholars of the middle ages, not to mention for the rulers of these towns. These legal attempts to define and solve the problems posed by interreligious relations are the subject of this volume, which brings together the work of seventeen scholars from nine countries (France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Portugal, Lebanon, Israel, Tunisia, USA), specialists in history, law, archeology and religion. -- Quatrième de couverture.

Abstract

Les manuels de combat, qu?ils concernent les différentes formes d?escrime (Fechtbücher) ou de lutte (Ringbücher), sont une source historique exceptionnelle. Ils nous permettent d?appréhender la réalité du combat individuel et présentent l?éventail des techniques martiales à disposition du guerrier. Ces documents commencent à être exploités de manière systématique par les chercheurs. Il est donc important de souligner l?importance historique de ces textes, d?en analyser le contenu, de dévoiler les champs de la recherche qui peuvent bénéficier de leur exploitation et de présenter les difficultés qui guettent l?historien qui désirent s?attaquer au manuels de combat
