Abstract

Robert the Monk's history of the First Crusade (1095-99), which was probably completed c. 1110, was in the nature of a medieval "bestseller", proving by far the most popular narrative of the crusade's events; the number of surviving manuscript copies far exceeds those of the many other accounts of the crusades written in the early decades of the twelfth century, when literary retellings of the crusaders' exploits were much in vogue. This volume presents the first critical edition to be published since the 1860s, grounded in a close study of the more than 80 manuscripts of the text that survive in libraries and archives across Europe. In their detailed introduction the editors explore the vexed problem of the author's identity, as well as the date of the text, its manuscript transmission, and the reasons for its success, for example among monasteries belonging to the Cistercian order in southern Germany.

Abstract

Baldric of Bourgeil's Historia Ierosolimitana is a fascinating Latin prose account of the events of the First Crusade (1095-99), and a clarification of their miraculous meaning. It was composed around 1105 by Baldric, the abbot of Bourgueil, who later became the archbishop of Dol. It is a crucial text, yet, in part because its manuscript tradition has not been fully explored, it has been hitherto neglected. This volume presents the first critical edition of the text for nearly 150 years. Importantly, the editor has established that the text exists in over three times as many manuscripts as originally thought, thus indicating a far greater impact, geographically and chronologically, for Baldric's work than has been previously considered, and placing it at the forefront of crusade accounts of the period. In addition to a careful examination of the greatly extended manuscript tradition, the editor's critical analysis explores Baldric's career; his writing style; the dating and reception of his text; the amplification of the language, narrative and characters found in his recapitulation of his primary source, the Gesta Francorum; the influence of the text on medieval authors from Orderic Vitalis to Humbert of Romans; and its perspective on the crusade as a means of protecting the familia Christi. Bibliogr. : pp. 129-143

Abstract

La première croisade (1095-1099) fut sans aucun doute l’un des faits majeurs du Moyen Age. Elle ouvrit une nouvelle ère dans les relations entre la chrétienté occidentale et le Proche-Orient musulman et chrétien. Aucun événement n’a donné lieu a autant de récits, en particulier les chroniques étudiées ici, qui constituent la source principale de ce que nous savons du déroulement de la première croisade, de ses origines et de ses intentions. Or, ces chroniqueurs n’étaient pas neutres. Tous furent des témoins ou des "spectateurs engagés". Ils avaient leurs propres préoccupations et leur propre idéologie, que révèlent l’analyse quantitative de leur vocabulaire et l’étude qualitative de leurs thèmes de prédilection. Ce sont dans une large mesure des œuvres de propagande qui interprètent à leur manière les faits que chaque chroniqueur choisit de relater. L’étude de Jean Flori est le fruit d’un quart de siècle de recherche consacré à ces sources. Il remet en cause la datation jusqu’ici admise de ces chroniques, leurs relations d’interdépendance et la hiérarchie de leur fiabilité relative. Cette véritable révolution historiographique rend possible et même nécessaire une nouvelle approche du phénomène de la croisade.

Abstract

Fruit d’un colloque international réuni à la Casa de Velázquez (Madrid) du 11 au 13 avril 2005, ce volume propose de lire l’histoire de la guerre sainte de façon moins linéaire que de coutume, en acceptant les ruptures, les discontinuités et les nombreux aménagements qui ont été rendus nécessaires par les usages multiples, contradictoires et parfois concurrents de cette notion. À partir d’un fonds commun de principes surgis à la charnière de l’Antiquité et du Moyen Âge, contenus dans les traditions politiques et religieuses des royaumes chrétiens, l’idée de guerre sainte a été périodiquement ravivée et chaque fois reconstruite à la mesure des besoins de ceux qui la sollicitaient et de leur environnement historique. Elle s’est aussi enrichie. L’appel de Clermont, en 1095, qui suscite la Première croisade et conduit à la conquête de Jérusalem par les Latins ne met pas fin à ce processus. Certes, il devient impossible, à partir du XIIe siècle, d’échapper totalement au modèle de guerre sainte forgé par la papauté, qui, pour l’imposer, dispose d’un contrôle sans précédent sur les mécanismes de sanctification et de pénitence. Cependant, durant tout le Moyen Âge, le référent pontifical qu’est la croisade n’est jamais figé et demeure perméable à tous les aménagements au bénéfice de ceux, rois et princes d’Occident, qui s’en réclament et se l’approprient. En admettant la diversité de la notion de guerre sainte et en croisant les regards portés sur elle, les spécialistes dont les contributions se trouvent ici rassemblées participent de façon importante au renouvellement d’un domaine de recherche qui a été le théâtre, depuis quelques années, de grandes controverses.

Abstract

According to tradition, the First Crusade began at Pope Urban II's instigation and culminated in July 1099, when western European knights liberated Jerusalem. But what if the First Crusade's real catalyst lay far to the east of Rome? Countering nearly a millennium of scholarship, Peter Frankopan reveals the First Crusade's untold history.
