    Walter Pohl et Rutger Kramer ont réuni dix riches contributions avec l’ambition de participer à une global history enjambant l’Antiquité et le Moyen Âge, et s’étendant de l’Atlantique au Zagros. Chaque article, d’égale densité, aborde différents enjeux autour de la construction des communautés confessionnelles, régionales et ethniques. W. Pohl a consacré sa carrière à la question de l’émergence du fait ethnique pendant la transition entre Antiquité tardive et Moyen Âge dans la partie europée..

    Book review: Humankind: a hopeful history by Rutger Bregman

    No full text
    In Humankind: A Hopeful History, Rutger Bregman takes the reader on a journey that dismantles the assumptions of classic research on human nature that positions humans as self-interested, instead exploring how humans can use our inherently good nature to build a better society. While finding that the book’s aim to tackle the dominant philosophical and scientific views of humankind leads the study to overlook the differing experiences of women throughout human history, Rosie Hamilton welcomes its perspective for offering a genuinely optimistic alternative that encourages readers to view the world from a different angle. If you are interested in this book, you can listen to a podcast of author Rutger Bregman discussing the work at an LSE event, recorded on 1 July 2020. Humankind: A Hopeful History. Rutger Bregman.

    Many Lives, One Story: The Gesta sanctorum Rotensium and the Making of Redon

    No full text
    This article takes a fresh look at the composition of the Gesta sanctorum Rotonensium (Deeds of the Saints of Redon), a late 9th-century monastic narrative which tells of the foundation of Redon, in the south-east of present-day Brittany. This story is exceptional because not just the abbot but the entire first generation of monks is lauded for their sanctity and their contribution towards building a community. I will argue that the author, rather than presenting these lives as examples for subsequent generation of monks to follow, intended for these vignettes to serve as a confirmation of the sanctity of the community as a whole. The series of biographies that form the first part of the GSR show that Redon, in the eyes of the author of the GSR, was a place where an individual’s holiness could come to full fruition – not because that was a given, but because of the fact that members of the community always helped their brethren become the best version of themselves, both during their lifetime and especially in the close examination of their lives after death

    Discovering Rutger Dole of Roermond ( †1409) via Henry of Rheinfelden's Collection of Notes

    International audienceAmong the puzzling and fascinating situations that we face when confronting the composition of manuscript Basel, UB, A X 44, folio 24r-v presents us with the colors to paint the portrait of yet another author who belongs in the gallery of the first generation of theologians from the University of Vienna, that of Rutger Dole. 1 Who is this author and what texts can be attributed to him? These questions provide the structure for this tripartite paper: first, an examination of the author's biographical data and an attempt to deduce something about his intellectual profile; second, a discussion of the textual evidence linked with his name; third, an appendix with the pertinent fragments identifiable in the Basel manuscript
