Abstract

Le nom de Jérusalem n'a cessé de fasciner l'Occident médiéval, et la ville mythique est devenue très tôt un sujet littéraire. Parmi les récits les plus populaires figure celui de sa destruction en 70 par Vespasien et Titus. A la fin XIVe siècle, cette légende devient en Europe le miroir des illusions perdues face aux échecs des croisades d'Orient et à la chute du royaume chrétien de Terre sainte. Au croisement de l'Histoire et de la fiction, La Prise de Jérusalem est un récit couleur de feu et de sang.

Abstract

La fin du XIe siècle voit s'ouvrir, en Occident, l'ère des croisades, une "mystérieuse aventure" (Alphonse Dupront) qui ne s'interrompt qu'avec l'écrasement de la chevalerie franque à Nicopolis en 1396. Ces expéditions ont marqué en profondeur la culture de l'Occident médiéval, notamment en France ; mais la littérature, surtout, a conservé et glorifié ces christianæ expeditiones , qui inspirent les principaux genres littéraires, jusqu'à la fin du Moyen Âge. Pourtant, la "littérature des croisades", dans sa profusion et sa diversité, reste un ensemble délicat à définir : les textes ne décrivent pas tous la "guerre sainte". En revanche, tous expriment un "mouvement vers", un tropisme oriental, dirigé vers Jérusalem, qui pousse personnes et personnages à s'engager sur l'iter hierosolymitanum, vers cet Orient, lieu de toutes les promesses parousiques, et de tous les possibles héroïques.

Abstract

From Topography to Text: The Image of Jerusalem in the Writings of Eucherius, Adomnán and Bede' uses topographical detail to examine the source material, religious imagination and the image of Jerusalem in three related Latin texts from the fifth, seventh and eighth centuries. The work introduces an original methodology for analyzing the Jerusalem pilgrim texts, defined by their core interest in the commemorative topography of the Christian holy places. By newly identifying the topographical material in Adomnán's description of Jerusalem, the study exposes key distortions in the text, its exclusive intramural focus on the Holy Sepulchre and the eschatological image of New Jerusalem that emerges from its description of contemporary Jerusalem. The study verifies the post-Byzantine provenance of Adomnán's topographical material, namely, the oral report of Arculf, thus redressing scholarly ambivalence regarding Adomnán's contemporary source. The new insights into Adomnán's 'De locis sanctis', including its mental map of Jerusalem, provide a template with which to analyze the text's relationship with the writings of Eucherius and Bede. While Bede's 'De locis sanctis' has commonly been regarded as an epitome of Adomnán's work, when the sequence, structure and images of the texts are compared, Eucherius not Adomnán is, for Bede, the authoritative text. 'From Topography to Text' offers a significant discussion on the Jerusalem pilgrim texts and the Christian topography of the Holy City, while analyzing the image of Jerusalem in the writings of three remote authors who never set foot in the city. -- Back cover A break-out study on Adomnán’s De locis sanctis and the Jerusalem pilgrim texts, From Topography to Text uses new methodological findings on the Christian topography of Jerusalem to examine the source material, religious imagination and mental maps in the related writings of Eucherius, Adomnán and Bede.From Topography to Text: The Image of Jerusalem in the Writings of Eucherius, Adomnán and Bede uses topographical detail to examine the source material, religious imagination and the image of Jerusalem in three related Latin texts from the fifth, seventh and eighth centuries.
