Download or read book Les Carolingiens 741 987 written by Christian Bonnet and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De l'élection de Pépin le Bref comme roi des Francs en 751 à la chute du dernier représentant de la dynastie carolingienne ayant régné en Francie occidentale, Louis V (986-987), les Carolingiens ont très largement été les maîtres du pouvoir en Occident. Héritiers de la civilisation germanique dont ils sont issus, continuateurs par certains aspects des Mérovingiens qui les ont précédés tout en cherchant à retrouver l'héritage de l'Empire romain dans sa version chrétienne, ils ont réussi à construire un système politique et culturel original. L'entente établie entre le pouvoir temporel et le pouvoir spirituel a contribué à cet essor, et la Renovatio carolingienne a bien été un moment fort de l'histoire de l'Occident médiéval. De plus, le regnum Francorum d'origine a laissé la place à l'Empire carolingien par le biais de la politique d'expansion (dilatatio regni). Toutefois, l'époque carolingienne n'est pas faite d'un seul bloc : à une phase ascendante, qui coïncide avec les règnes de Pépin le Bref, Charlemagne et Louis le Pieux à ses débuts, succède une période de crises et de difficultés, à partir de 825 environ. L'Empire carolingien à proprement parler s'est révélé éphémère (800-843) : le partage de Verdun marque l'échec définitif du rêve de reconstitution de l'Empire romain d'Occident tel qu'il existait avant 476. S'appuyant sur les travaux récents qui se sont multipliés au cours des deux dernières décennies et proposant de nombreux documents partiellement ou entièrement commentés, les auteurs font le point sur cette période riche et sur les questions qu'elle ne manque pas de poser : faut-il considérer les Carolingiens comme les pères (ou plutôt les grands-pères) de l'Europe ? Quelles furent les réalités et les limites de la Renovatio carolingienne ? En quoi les Carolingiens ont-ils contribué à créer les facteurs d'une dislocation qui a fini par les emporter ? 1:ouvrage délimite clairement la ligne de partage séparant la réalité historique de la légende qui imprègne encore bien souvent les Carolingiens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origins of the large estate of Carolingian Europe and the role it played in the evolution of Frankish society and economy are the themes of this volume. The first group of articles focus on documentary evidence, especially the polyptychs and their interpretation. Though there is insufficient material for any true quantitive history, Professor Devroey argues that the evidence points to demographic expansion, coupled with the exploitation of new agricultural methods and crops, and a reliance on the family as the unit of production. Further studies relate these estates to the commercial networks of the area, from a local to an international level. A final concern is to demonstrate that the large estate formed a key component of the Carolingian rulers’ aim to establish the ’bonum commune’ and a stable society, with assured food supplies, regulated markets and a just system of weights and measures. L’origine du grand domaine de l’Europe carolingienne et le rôle qu’il jouait dans l’évolution de la société et de l’économie du monde franc sont les thèmes de ce volume. Le premier groupe d’articles se concentre sur des documents et plus spécialement sur les polyptyques et leur interprétation. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas de matériel suffisant pour une histoire quantitative, le professeur Devroey soutient que tout indique une expansion démographie, à laquelle viennent s’ajouter l’exploitation de nouvelles méthodes agricoles et de récoltes, ainsi qu’une dépendance vis-à-vis de la famille en tant qu’unité de production. Des études supplémentaires font le lien entre ces propriétés et les réseaux commerciaux de cette partie du monde, du niveau local au niveau international. L’auteur s’efforce finalement de démontrer que le grand domaine était un des facteurs à la base de la volonté des dirigeants carolingiens d’instaurer le ’bonum commune’ et une société stable avec des approvisionnements assurés, des march

Download or read book Power and Its Problems in Carolingian Europe written by Stuart Airlie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key theme in this collection of thirteen essays is the creative tension between the Carolingian dynasty and its aristocratic followers across 250 years. The first section explores the rising dynasty's attempts to consolidate its power through war and rewards. The second section focuses on the exercise of authority through a complex system of governance and representation, and the pivotal role played by the courts of Charlemagne and his successors. In the third section, we see the Carolingian system undergoing a crisis of legitimacy, challenged by civil war, royal divorce, and aristocratic encroachment on dynastic exclusivity. These essays anatomise the dynamics of power relations in the greatest empire of the early medieval west.
Download or read book The Carolingian Renaissance and the Idea of Kingship Routledge Revivals written by Walter Ullmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his Birkbeck Lectures, first published in 1969, Professor Ullmann throws new light on a familiar subject. He shows that the Carolingian renaissance had a wider and deeper meaning than has often been thought, especially in its political and ideological aspects. Displaying his mastery of both primary and secondary sources, Professor Ullmann presents an integrated history. He shows an epoch which holds a key to the better understanding not only of the subsequent medieval centuries, but also of modern Europe. This book opened new vistas in political, ideological and social history as well as in historical theology and jurisprudence and showed how relevant knowledge of the past is for the understanding of the present.

Book excerpt: L’idée d’Europe est, dans l’imaginaire occidental, associée aux Carolingiens et au plus illustre d’entre eux, Charlemagne. Leur histoire, qui s’échelonne de 741 à 987, est un cheminement à travers une mosaïque de royaumes avec l’intégration des diversités au sein de la chose publique menacée en permanence de dissolution. L’Europe des Charles est celle des marchés, des écoles, des églises, des villes et des villages tournés vers un idéal de salut et reposant sur une société fondée sur la subsidiarité. Cette construction est un défi intellectuel permanent où seule la force coercitive d’une personnalité inspirée par ce projet peut maintenir le mythe fondateur idéal de façon renouvelée. C’est à travers des personnalités perspicaces, d’administrateurs zélés, de militaires, de missionnaires, de bâtisseurs et d’artistes que l’Europe prend consistance. L’immensité et la diversité du territoire en font une force mais aussi une faiblesse qu’il convient constamment de surveiller dans une démarche nécessitant adaptation, rapidité et effi cacité. Il fallait aux Carolingiens des moyens financiers et techniques dont ils ne disposaient pas pour conserver toute l’homogénéité nécessaire à l’oeuvre entreprise. C’est à l’approche de ces personnages de légende que nous nous livrerons ici.

Download or read book Europe and the Islamic World written by John Tolan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping history of Islam and the West from the seventh century to today Europe and the Islamic World sheds much-needed light on the shared roots of Islamic and Western cultures and on the richness of their inextricably intertwined histories, refuting once and for all the misguided notion of a "clash of civilizations" between the Muslim world and Europe. In this landmark book, three eminent historians bring to life the complex and tumultuous relations between Genoans and Tunisians, Alexandrians and the people of Constantinople, Catalans and Maghrebis—the myriad groups and individuals whose stories reflect the common cultural, intellectual, and religious heritage of Europe and Islam. Since the seventh century, when the armies of Constantinople and Medina fought for control of Syria and Palestine, there has been ongoing contact between the Muslim world and the West. This sweeping history vividly recounts the wars and the crusades, the alliances and diplomacy, commerce and the slave trade, technology transfers, and the intellectual and artistic exchanges. Here readers are given an unparalleled introduction to key periods and events, including the Muslim conquests, the collapse of the Byzantine Empire, the commercial revolution of the medieval Mediterranean, the intellectual and cultural achievements of Muslim Spain, the crusades and Spanish reconquest, the rise of the Ottomans and their conquest of a third of Europe, European colonization and decolonization, and the challenges and promise of this entwined legacy today. As provocative as it is groundbreaking, this book describes this shared history in all its richness and diversity, revealing how ongoing encounters between Europe and Islam have profoundly shaped both.

Download or read book The Multiple Meaning of Scripture written by Ineke Van 't Spijker and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the beginning of the Christian era and throughout the Middle Ages, biblical interpretation was the field where theological, philosophical and political matters were discussed. At the same time Scripture’s interpretation required the exploration of hermeneutical positions about how a literal and a hidden meaning could be established and how they related to each other. Ranging from early-Christian concerns about the text of the Bible itself, via Carolingian biblical commentaries, and the ever more diverse interpretations from the twelfth century and onwards, to the literary implications of (Jewish) commentary, the articles in this volume examine biblical exegesis both as a discourse on theology, philosophy and politics, and as the context for discussions on its underlying interpretative principles. Contributors are J. K. Kitchen, Katja Vehlow, Caroline Chevalier-Royet, Sumi Shimahara, Ian Christopher Levy, Pierre Boucaud, Elisabeth Mégier, Cédric Giraud, Wanda Zemler-Cizewski, Ineke van ’t Spijker, Eva De Visscher, Alexander Fidora, Frans van Liere, and Robert A.

Download or read book Early Medieval Studies in Memory of Patrick Wormald written by Stephen Baxter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Wormald was a brilliant interpreter of the Early Middle Ages, whose teaching, writings and generous friendship inspired a generation of historians and students of politics, law, language, literature and religion to focus their attention upon the world of the Anglo-Saxons and the Franks. Leading British, American and continental scholars - his colleagues, friends and pupils - here bear witness to his seminal influence by presenting a collection of studies devoted to the key themes that dominated his work: kingship; law and society; ethnic, religious, national and linguistic identities; the power of images, pictorial or poetic, in shaping political and religious institutions. Closely mirroring the interests of their honorand, the collection not only underlines Patrick Wormald's enormous contribution to the field of Anglo-Saxon studies, but graphically demonstrates his belief that early medieval England and Anglo-Saxon law could only be understood against a background of research into contemporary developments in the nearby Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Frankish kingdoms. He would have been well pleased, therefore, that this volume should make such significant advances in our understanding of the world of Bede, of the dynasty of King Alfred, and also of the workings of English law between the seventh and the twelfth century. Moreover he would have been particularly delighted at the rich comparisons and contrasts with Celtic societies offered here and with the series of fundamental reassessments of aspects of Carolingian Francia. Above all these studies present fundamental reinterpretations, not only of published written sources and their underlying manuscript evidence, but also of the development of some of the dominant ideas of that era. In both their scope and the quality of the scholarship, the collection stands as a fitting tribute to the work and life of Patrick Wormald and his lasting contribution to early medieval studies.
