Une analyse de l’historiographie bénédictine dans le cadre de l’évolution dans la production et la transmission de l’écrit documentaire au Moyen Âge central. Ce livre comprend une analyse de la relation entre textes historiographiques et sources diplomatiques dans les milieux bénédictins au Moyen Âge central. Les (ré)écritures résultant de la transmission des archives y témoignent d’un maniement récurrent de passés locaux. Les vitae abbatiales, les gesta et les (cartulaires-)chroniques datant du Xe au XIIe siècle permettent par excellence d’étudier le dialogue entre gestion des archives, production d’actes et recréation narrative d’un passé local et institutionnel dans des récits et des codices. Par une analyse casuistique, l’auteur dévoile la perception et la valorisation d’un héritage documentaire sur le plan religieux, juridique, social et mémoriel. Il expose que les fonctions diverses, liées à la mémoire, à la représentation du passé et à la construction d’une identité communautaire, étaient autrefois confiées à un éventail de genres historiographiques et diplomatiques consciemment composés mais néanmoins complémentaires. Enfin, l’auteur accentue que il est crucial d’intégrer dans l’étude de l’historiographie monastique l’évolution dans la pratique de l’écrit documentaire, à savoir les modalités de rédaction ou de rôles tenus par les actes dans les procédures juridiques. Celle-ci influait en effet fortement sur l’évaluation de la conservation de documents diplomatiques et de leur mode de transmission, y compris par voie historiographique.

Bury St Edmunds is noteworthy in so many ways: in preserving the cult and memory of the last East Anglian king, in the richness of its archives, and not least in its role as a mediator of medical texts and studies. All these aspects, and more, are amply illustrated in this collection, by specialists in their fields. The balance of the whole work, and the care taken to place the individual topics in context, has resulted in a satisfying whole, which places Abbot Baldwin and his abbey squarely in the forefront of eleventh-century politics and society. Professor Ann Williams. The abbey of Bury St Edmunds, by 1100, was an international centre of learning, outstanding for its culting of St Edmund, England's patron saint, who was known through France and Italy as a miracle worker principally, but also as a survivor, who had resisted the Vikings and the invading king Swein and gained strength after 1066. Here we journey into the concerns of his community as it negotiated survival in the Anglo-Norman empire, examining, on the one hand, the roles of leading monks, such as the French physician-abbot Baldwin, and, on the other, the part played by ordinary women of the vill. The abbey of Bury provides an exceptionally rich archive, including annals, historical texts, wills, charters, and medical recipes. The chapters in this volume, written by leading experts, present differing perspectives on Bury's responses to conquest; reflecting the interests of the monks, they cover literature, music, medicine, palaeography, and the history of the region itself.
