Sommario/riassunto

Saints' cults, with their focus on miraculous healings and pilgrimages, were not only a distinctive feature of Christian religion in fifth-and sixth-century Gaul but also a vital force in political and social life. Here Raymond Van Dam uses accounts of miracles performed by SS. Martin, Julian, and Hilary to provide a vivid and comprehensive depiction of some of the most influential saints' cults. Viewed within the context of ongoing tensions between paganism and Christianity and between Frankish kings and bishops, these cults tell much about the struggle for authority, the forming of communities, and the concept of sin and



redemption in late Roman Gaul. Van Dam begins by describing the origins of the three cults, and discusses the career of Bishop Gregory of Tours, who benefited from the support of various patron saints and in turn promoted their cults. He then treats the political and religious dimensions of healing miracles--including their relation to Catholic theology and their use by bishops to challenge royal authority--and of pilgrimages to saints' shrines. The miracle stories, collected mainly by Gregory of Tours, appear in their first complete English translations.

Sommario/riassunto

La mise en valeur de l'idéal chevaleresque à la cour des Plantagenêts a de longue date attiré l'attention. Dans le contexte de la Renaissance du XIIe siècle, la production intellectuelle de la cour anglo-angevine se développe tous azimuts, et notamment dans le domaine des textes. Elle assure la diffusion de conceptions politiques et sociales chères aux Plantagenêts. Un symbole résume cet effort de récupération de motifs culturels à des fins politiques : le roi Arthur. Avec lui, l'idéologie Plantagenêt se veut plus qu'une simple entreprise de propagande, à la charnière du culturel et du politique, elle balaye en effet tout un ensemble de représentations mentales agencées dans un sens favorable à la fille spirituelle de la royauté arthurienne : la monarchie Plantagenêt. Est-il possible de trouver les indices d'une telle captation ? Quelles sont les thématiques qui sous-tendent l'idéalisation de la royauté arthurienne à la cour anglo-angevine ? Comment le développement de l'état Plantagenêt a-t-il pu s'inscrire dans le souvenir de la geste arthurienne ? C'est à cette quête passionnante qu'Amaury Chauou invite les passionnés d'histoire et les amateurs de curiosités arthuriennes. Son livre apporte à ces questions des réponses nouvelles et stimulantes.
