The title of the book, which is the same as the seminar, refers to the “age of consolidation” of Venice, that had been identified by the promoters of the initiative as the 9th and 10th centuries. All the papers in the volume, therefore, consider a Venetian reality as already formed, even in its early days; a reality, or rather a social, economic and political community which, at this moment in time, reinforces its urban aspect, and creates the basis for the growth that will characterize its history after the tenth century.
The book collects twelve papers of archaeological, historical, epigraphic and historical-artistic subject.

D'une part, la compétition conduit ou souvent impose de mobiliser des ressources, d’autre part, ses formes sont affectées par la disponibilité ou la rareté des ressources. Elles sont donc un point d’observation privilégié pour comprendre les systèmes de valeurs et les règles, souvent implicites, qui président alors aux actions des élites. Ce volume est le résultat du troisième colloque organisé à Rome par le groupe international de recherches sur la compétition dans les sociétés médiévales (400-1000). En croisant des perspectives qui tiennent de l’anthropologie et de certaines lignes de l’histoire économique, ce livre prend en considération les formes du rapport entre compétition et ressources dans une grande variété de milieux sociaux et institutionnels de l’Europe occidentale du haut Moyen Âge, de la famille aux élites politiques et religieuses, aux sociétés rurales, aux communautés artisanes et marchandes.

Appropriation, Interpretation and Criticism

They draw particular attention to the intellectual approaches which shaped the interplays among these traditions - interplays that were characterized by the contact of various languages being used by people of different religious beliefs in their quest for knowledge: Spanish Jews writing in Arabic, Jews collaborating in the translation of Arabic texts into Latin through the vernacular, Western Muslims whose writings were read mainly by Jews and Christians in Hebrew and Latin, etc. Altogether, the eleven studies contained in this book wish to offer new insights into the rich exchanges of knowledge among communities of learning and their scholarly traditions during the Middle Ages and beyond.
