Understanding how medieval textual cultures engaged with the heritage of antiquity (transmission and translation) depends on recognizing that reception is a creative cultural act (transformation). These essays focus on the people, societies and institutions who were doing the transmitting, translating, and transforming -- the "agents". The subject matter ranges from medicine to astronomy, literature to magic, while the cultural context encompasses Islamic and Jewish societies, as well as Byzantium and the Latin West. What unites these studies is their attention to the methodological and conceptual challenges of thinking about agency. Not every agent acted with an agenda, and agenda were sometimes driven by immediate needs or religious considerations that while compelling to the actors, are more opaque to us. What does it mean to say that a text becomes ?available? for transmission or translation? And why do some texts, once transmitted, fail to thrive in their new milieu? This collection thus points toward a more sophisticated ?ecology? of transmission, where not only individuals and teams of individuals, but also social spaces and local cultures, act as the agents of cultural creativity.

Comment déceler les traces de la culture orale dans les sources médiévales si nous ne possédons les matériaux oraux que sous forme écrite? Est-ce seulement l’écrit qui reste tandis que l’oral ne se maintient pas? Quel est le statut de l’oralité dans la société médiévale? À partir des monuments littéraires appartenant à des aires très variées du point de vue de la géographie et des langues ¾ l'Espagne médiévale, l’Empire byzantin, les Etats croisés et la Turquie des XVe-XVIe siècles ¾ ce volume étudie les liens entre tradition orale et tradition écrite dans la littérature médiévale. L’enquête interdisciplinaire menée par une équipe internationale de chercheurs venus d’horizons divers permet de définir les modes de transmission des textes médiévaux, les formes de leur mémorisation et de déchiffrer les modes de leur lecture et de leur appropriation. L’ouvrage propose aussi une méthodologie pour la recherche des indices de l’oralité et pour l’analyse des liens intertextuels entre les oeuvres littéraires. Ce travail réalisé dans le cadre du projet international «Homo legens » constitue un outil efficace pour l’étude des pratiques de lecture et d’écriture. How can we uncover the traces of oral culture in medieval sources when the oral matter we possess survives only in written form? Is it the case that only the written persists while the oral is lost? What was the status of orality in medieval society? The studies in this volume (five chapters in French and two in English) examine the links between the oral and the written traditions in medieval literature. They do this by means of the analysis of literary sources from very diverse backgrounds, both geographically and linguistically speaking: the investigation ranges from medieval Spain, through the Byzantine Empire and the Crusader states, to late medieval and early modern Turkey. This interdisciplinary enquiry by an international group of scholars enables us to define the modes of transmission of medieval texts and how they were memorized as well as to decipher how they were read and appropriated. In addition, the book suggests a methodological basis for research into indices of orality and for analysis of the intertextual links between literary works. This enquiry, undertaken within the framework of the international Homo Legens project, provides an efficacious tool for the study of the practices of reading and writing.
