Abstract

L’article a pour objet le réexamen du témoignage fourni par la donation et le testament de Vincent de Huesca (VIe siècle) à propos de l’esclavage. Afin d’arriver à une vision renouvelée de la pratique de l’esclavage dans l’Espagne wisigothique, la discussion porte essentiellement sur le et la structure des familles serviles. En particulier, en comparant le document avec les sources d’époque romaine, on démontre que la servitude des esclaves mentionnés dans la donation et le testament est de même nature que celle des esclaves romains. On ne peut donc pas considérer ce document comme la preuve d’un changement dans les conditions du travail agricole des , ni ces comme des paysans indépendants ou des fermiers. Au contraire, les perspectives que le document ouvre à notre compréhension de la nature de l’esclavage dans l’Espagne wisigothique conduisent à nuancer l’idée d’une convergence, souvent postulée, du statut des esclaves et de celui des pauvres de condition libre, dans cette région à cette période.
