It brings together original contributions by leading European and North American scholars of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages working across a range of disciplines: history, theology, epigraphy, and art history. Moving from the Irish Sea to the Bosporus, this collection presents a linked world in which saints, scholars, and the city of Rome all played powerful connective roles, creating communities, generating relationships, linking east to west, north to south, and present to past.
As in Thacker’s own work, Bede’s life and thought is a central presence. Bede’s attitudes to historical and contemporaneous conceptions of heresy, to the Irish church, and the evidence for his often complex relationships with his Northumbrian contemporaries all come under scrutiny, together with groundbreaking studies of his exegesis, christology, and historical method. Many of the contributions offer original insights into figures and phenomena that have been the focus of Dr. Thacker’s highly influential scholarship.

La familiarité entretenue avec le milieu aquatique, objet de crainte ou source d’opportunités, signifie que les groupes humains « faisaient communauté » autrement, mais aussi que l’historien appréhende ces phénomènes d’une manière différente. Cela est vrai de toutes les communautés qui, dans la pratique des interactions quotidiennes, se formaient près de l’eau, grâce à elle ou face à elle : communautés d’habitants, communautés cléricales ou monastiques, communautés fondées sur une activité commune comme le commerce ou la pêche. Les douze contributions que compte ce livre constituent les actes d’un colloque tenu à Boulogne-sur-Mer en mars 2017. Leurs auteurs s’attachent à croiser les sources écrites et archéologiques pour offrir un regard équilibré sur des espaces et une période qui semblent à première vue moins bien documentés que d’autres. La question de la construction et de l’existence des communautés « du bord de l’eau » y est traitée à travers toute l’Europe latine, du vii e au xi e siècle, sur ses versants adriatique (à travers les lagunes de Venise et de Comacchio), atlantique (du littoral ibérique à l’Angleterre en passant par l’île de Noirmoutier) et septentrional (des Fens d’Est-Anglie à la mer Baltique et dans les emporia des mers du Nord), ainsi que dans la vallée de la Saône (de Lyon à Tournus).

The Chronicles of Medieval Wales and the March
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for:The Chronicles of Medieval Wales and the March show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for: The Chronicles of Medieval Wales and the MarchThe chronicles of medieval Wales are a rich body of source material offering an array of perspectives on historical developments in Wales and beyond. Preserving unique records of events from the fifth to the fifteenth centuries, these chronicles form the essential narrative backbone of all modern accounts of medieval Welsh history. Most celebrated of all are the chronicles belonging to the Annales Cambriae and Brut y Tywysogyon families, which document the tumultuous struggles between the Welsh princes and their Norman and English neighbours for control over Wales.
Building on foundational studies of these chronicles by J. E. Lloyd, Thomas Jones, Kathleen Hughes, and others, this book seeks to enhance understanding of the texts by refining and complicating the ways in which they should be read as deliberate literary and historical productions. The studies in this volume make significant advances in this direction through fresh analyses of well-known texts, as well as through full studies, editions, and translations of five chronicles that had hitherto escaped notice.
