This is the first edition of ten Funeral Orations of Michael Psellos based on all the manuscripts preserving those works and accompanied by a full apparatus fontium and the necessary critical apparatus. Some of those texts had been published by the Greek scholar Konstantinos Sathas at the end of the XIX c. Those editions hardly correspond to the contemporary standards. The same applies to several more recent editions, prepared by P. Gautier, which also leave much to be desired. The most important texts of our collection are the funeral orations for the patriarchs Michael Keroullarios, Konstantinos Leichoudes and John Xiphilinos, a personal friend of Michael Psellos. All the texts offer valuable details concerning Psellos's early life; at the same time they constitute an important testimony to the survival of the Late Antique Rhetoric in XI c. Byzantium. They constitute a necessary supplement to Psellos's more famous work, his Chronography, verifying and shedding a new light on the events narrated there.

Saisir l'acte de naissance d'une écriture de l'histoire : tel est l'enjeu de cette étude qui propose une enquête historiographique consacrée aux chroniques des ducs de Normandie et plus particulièrement à quatre d'entre elles, le De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum de Dudon de Saint-Quentin (vers l'an 1000), le Roman de Rou de Wace (1160-1170), la Chronique des ducs de Normandie de Benoît de Sainte-Maure (vers 1174) et la Chronique de Jordan Fantosme (1175). Pour décrypter les modalités de cette écriture du passé normand, deux approches ont été privilégiées : l'analyse de la temporalité - essentielle dans des ouvrages où le présent dialogue sans cesse avec le passé - et celle des formes littéraires, en relation avec les modèles hagiographiques, épiques ou fictionnels. En quête d'une forme nouvelle apte à dire l'histoire, les chroniqueurs s'appliquent à penser le temps, à faire œuvre de mémoire et à légitimer le prestigieux lignage qu'ils célèbrent. Il en résulte une écriture complexe où, entre vérité poétique et vérité historique, s'ébauche et s'invente la geste héroïque des Normands.
