Abstract

"Le renouveau culturel carolingien confère au livre une place majeure dans la société, qui perdure dans le monde ottonien. Sa production est suffisamment abondante pour que près de 9000 manuscrits de cette époque nous soient parvenus, et le soin apporté à la qualité de leur confection est remarquable. Les manuscrits, précieux ou non, corrigés, glosés, comparés, échangés, servent à l'action, politique ou judiciaire, à la spiritualité, à la réforme religieuse, au développement de l'humanisme carolingien. Dans la société et la culture chrétiennes, l'objet-livre revêt un caractère précieux et somptuaire, comme en témoignent sa place de choix au sein des trésors d'église et sa haute valeur monétaire. Il est l'incarnation à la fois de l'autorité sacrée, du pouvoir et du savoir ; investi d'une forte dimension symbolique, il peut aussi être source de conflits et victime de destructions. Polymorphe, il intervient dans de multiples situations et se trouve au cœur des relations entre protagonistes : il peut être tour à tour exhibé sous l'aspect d'un rouleau, d'un codex ouvert ou fermé, mangé, foulé aux pieds, dissimulé, utilisé pour prêter des serments? À la fois contenant et contenu, objet et parole, le livre est aussi un objet imaginaire et imaginé. L'enquête collective envisagée ici dépasse la dimension archétypale du livre pour cerner, à travers une approche pluridisciplinaire combinant l'histoire sociale, culturelle et artistique, la spécificité des représentations carolingiennes du livre."

Abstract

Frankish Manuscripts covers the earliest period in this series devoted to manuscripts illuminated in France. The two volumes explore those manuscripts that originate in the period before the kingdom of France emerged at the end of the tenth century. From the seventh to the tenth century most of modern France was ruled by kings of the Franks, from dynasties known as Merovingian and Carolingian, whose territories also included significant portions of other modern nations, especially the Low Countries, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The introductory essay in Volume I offers an overview of salient issues in this creative period, formative for later medieval manuscripts produced in France and elsewhere, in the former Frankish territories and beyond; the volume includes 341 photographs from the manuscripts in the catalogue, the great majority reproduced in colour. Volume II comprises a detailed catalogue of 100 manuscripts from this large region, each with a detailed description, an interpretive commentary focused on the decoration of the text as well as illustrations, and a survey of previous scholarly literature, including digital access when available. The catalogue includes some of the most famous early medieval manuscripts, decorated with luxury materials and exceptionally beautiful script, ornament and illustrations. In the spirit of a survey intended to show the range of Frankish illumination, it also includes manuscripts of ancient and contemporary poems, scientific works, commentaries, a cookbook, and one manuscript in a vernacular language. Together, these two volumes provide the most comprehensive survey of manuscript illumination in Francia, its large corpus of illustrations making the manuscripts more readily available for study not only by scholars of illumination but also by others interested in early medieval culture. --Brepols
