La collaboration dans la production de l'écrit médiéval

Pages : 520
Book Description
Au-dela de l'image traditionnelle du copiste isole dans sa chaire solennelle, la production de l'ecrit au Moyen Age a connu des formes multiples de travail en commun dont la reconstitution n'est possible qu'en faisant parler les indices les plus tenus fournis par le produit fini, livre ou charte. Les communautes universitaires, qui supplantent les scriptoria et elargissent les milieux de la fabrication du livre, art complexe, d'abord visuel et manuel, creent de nouvelles procedures (dont le systeme de textes de reference loues "a la piece" pour servir a la copie simultanee d'exemplaires multiples); la multiplicite des competences necessaires entraine une specialisation des taches - le cas ou le meme homme peut cumuler les fonctions d'auteur, de copiste et d'enlumineur se fait de plus en plus rare; les chancelleries s'etoffent et s'autonomisent, assurant leur propre production. La collaboration dans la production de l'ecrit medieval, grace a de minutieuses enquetes codicologique, paleographique et philologique, observe dans les ateliers commerciaux de librairie de la fin du Moyen Age une specialisation qui annonce les procedures rationalises qui seront celles des premiers typographes."

Book Description
Saharan Crossroads: Exploring Historical, Cultural, and Artistic Linkages between North and West Africa counteracts the traditional scholarly conception of the Sahara Desert as an impenetrable barrier dividing the continent by employing an interdisciplinary lens to examine myriad interconnections between North and West Africa through travel, trade, communication, cultural exchange, and correspondence that have been ongoing for several millennia. Saharan Crossroads offers a unique contribution to existing scholarship on the region by uniting a diverse group of African, European, and American scholars working on various facets of trans-Saharan history, social life, and cultural production, and bringing their work together for the first time. This trilingual volume includes eleven chapters written in English, five chapters in French, and three chapters in Arabic, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Sahara and this international project. Saharan Crossroads explores historical and contemporary connections and exchanges between populations living in and on both sides of the Sahara that have led to the emergence of distinctive cultural and aesthetic expressions. This contact has been fostered by a series of linkages that include the trans-Saharan caravan trade, the spread of Islam, the migration of nomadic pastoralists, and European colonization. The book includes three major sections: (1) history, culture, and identity; (2) trans-Saharan circulation of arts, music, ritual performance, and architecture; and (3) religion, law, language, and writing. While the gaze of international political analysts has turned toward the Sahara to follow problematic developments that pose serious threats to human rights and security in the region, it is especially timely to recall that the people and countries of the Sahelo-Saharan world have maintained long histories of peaceful coexistence, interdependence, and cooperation that are too often overlooked in the present.

Keeping Record
Author: Abigail S ArmstrongPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111323668
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
The production and retention of written records was a common and important facet of pre-modern rulership and administration. Much of our understanding of governmental practices and expressions of authority come from the contents of such documents, which have been well studied. Less studied, however, are the records themselves as artefacts. This volume is an attempt to redress this balance by taking a more holistic, material approach to a range of written records. Through a series of case studies, this volume explores questions regarding the material characteristics of various records and their use. It demonstrates that the material features of the records, including the size and shape, the hands that wrote them and the material substrate, can shed new light on the functioning of government and the declarations of power these records asserted. The ten contributions of this volume focus on records from a variety of rulers, political systems and administrations. With four case studies from early China and six from medieval Europe, this volume offers transcultural perspectives to demonstrate how different cultures expressed rulership and administration materially through the use of text-bearing artefacts.

A Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri
Author: Jean-Baptiste TruteauPublisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496201264
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 729
Book Description
2018 Dwight L. Smith (ABC-CLIO) Award from the Western History Association A Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri offers the first annotated scholarly edition of Jean-Baptiste Truteau’s journal of his voyage on the Missouri River in the central and northern Plains from 1794 to 1796 and of his description of the upper Missouri. This fully modern and magisterial edition of this essential journal surpasses all previous editions in assisting scholars and general readers in understanding Truteau’s travels and encounters with the numerous Native peoples of the region, including the Arikaras, Cheyennes, Lakotas-Dakotas-Nakotas, Omahas, and Pawnees. Truteau’s writings constitute the very foundation to our understanding of the late eighteenth-century fur trade in the region immediately preceding the expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson in 1803. An unparalleled primary source for its descriptions of Native American tribal customs, beliefs, rituals, material culture, and physical appearances, A Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri will be a classic among scholars, students, and general readers alike. Along with this new translation by Mildred Mott Wedel, Raymond J. DeMallie, and Robert Vézina, which includes facing French-English pages, the editors shed new light on Truteau’s description of the upper Missouri and acknowledge his journal as the foremost account of Native peoples and the fur trade during the eighteenth century. Vézina’s essay on the language used and his glossary of voyageur French also provide unique insight into the language of an educated French Canadian fur trader.
