Sommario/riassunto

Les quatorze communications réunies ici, auxquelles s’ajoutent les témoignages de ses collègues et amis du CNRS à Villejuif, rendent hommage à l’apport scientifique de Nicole Pons sur le sujet qui a été au centre de toute sa carrière : le premier humanisme français. Elles montrent comment son œuvre peut servir de modèle. La quête exigeante des manuscrits fait sortir de l’ombre des intellectuels liés par l’amitié et ouverts sur les auteurs italiens. Ces hommes, parfois illustres mais souvent anonymes, sont aussi des polémistes, qui ont mené de grands combats. Ils ne se sont pas contentés de vouloir résoudre le Grand Schisme ou de réformer le royaume en proie aux guerres civiles du temps de Charles VI. Ils se sont engagés de toute leur force contre les Anglais, pour rétablir l’Union avec les Grecs, pour asseoir le pouvoir légitime de Charles VII, qu’il s’agisse de sa filiation ou de ses droits… Par un jeu de miroir qui les renvoie aux auteurs antiques et surtout à Cicéron, ils croient à la vertu de leur plume pour dire le Vrai et pour changer le monde. C’est dire la belle continuité de leur mission que les terribles massacres de 1418 n’ont pas interrompue, et que ce colloque sait rendre en décrivant le foisonnement de leur pensée du début du XIVe à la fin du XVe siècle. Un style et une démarche qui n’étaient pas pour déplaire à Nicole Pons.

Sommario/riassunto

Texts by, for, and about preachers from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries reveal an intense interest in the preacher's human nature and its intersection with his "angelic" role. Far from simply denigrating embodiment or excluding it from consideration, these works recognize its centrality to the office of preacher and the ways in which preachers, like Christ, needed humanness to make their performance of doctrine effective for their audiences. At the same time, the texts warned of the preacher's susceptibility to the fleshly failings of lust, vainglory, deception, and greed. Preaching's problematic juxtaposition of the earthly and the spiritual made images of women preachers, real and fictional, key to understanding and exploiting the power, as well as the dangers, of the feminized flesh. Addressing the underexamined bodies of the clergy in light of both medieval and modern discussions of



female authority and the body of Christ in medieval culture, Angels and Earthly Creatures reinserts women into the history of preaching and brings together discourses that would have been intertwined in the Middle Ages but are often treated separately by scholars. The examination of handbooks for preachers as literary texts also demonstrates their extensive interaction with secular literary traditions, explored here with particular reference to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Through a close and insightful reading of a wide variety of texts and figures, including Hildegard of Bingen, Birgitta of Sweden, and Catherine of Siena, Waters offers an original examination of the preacher's unique role as an intermediary-standing between heaven and earth, between God and people, participating in and responsible to both sides of that divide.
