Musique polyphonique du moyen-âge - école de Saint-Martial. L'école de Saint-Martial L'étape qui suit le chant grégorien est représentée par l'École d'Aquitaine, dite encore École de Saint-Martial, car l'abbaye de Saint-Martial de Limoges fut le grand centre musical de son époque et son influence rayonnait sur toute la région aquitaine. Du fait de sa position sur le chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle elle constituait en outre un point de rencontre privilégié.
Les oeuvres que l'on définit du "style de Saint-Martial" datent de la fin du XIème siècle et de la 1ère moitié du XIIème siècle, c'est-à-dire en pleine époque de l'architecture romane. Les quatre effets paradoxaux que l'on doit s'attendre à trouver dans le style de Saint-Martial sont "synchronisé / incommensurable", "continu / coupé", "lié / indépendant" et "même / différent" [voir le tableau qui les regroupe].

RI OPAC. “In the Name of Almighty God”: Gregory VII and the Investiture Controversy - Medievalists.net. – October 6, 2011Posted in: Articles “In the Name of Almighty God”: Gregory VII and the Investiture Controversy By Sam Dollarhide Western Oregon University, Senior Seminar Thesis, 2010 Introduction: The Investiture Controversy was a conflict between Pope Gregory VII and the German King Henry IV over who had the right to appoint church officials in the Catholic Church.
In the Roman Council of 1074 presided over by Gregory he declared: “Those who have been advanced to any grade of holy orders, or to any office, through simony, that is the payment of money, shall hereafter have no right to officiate in the holy church.” This statement as well as several others made throughout the Dictatus Papae offended and enraged secular rulers across Western Europe, especially Henry IV the Holy Roman Emperor, who previous to Gregory’s pontificate had appointed church officials at their pleasure. Over the years scholars have examined the life of Gregory VII. Seconde bible de Saint-Martial du XIème.

Christian Values and Noble Ideas of Rank and their Consequences on Symbolic Acts - Medievalists.net. – August 5, 2011Posted in: Articles Christian Values and Noble Ideas of Rank and their Consequences on Symbolic Acts By Gerd Althoff e-Spania, Vol.4 (2007) Abstract: In the Middle Ages a Christian system of values met the values of a noble warrior society. Although these two systems had completely different conceptions of norms, they adapted from each other certain values and symbolic forms to express these values. The development of this adaptation is depicted by treating the Christian values misericordia, humilitas and clementia. In which way did the noble warrior society take up these values and how did these norms possibly change?
Misericordia, for example, became an essential part of noble behaviour, but the fundamental idea of Christian misericordia was changed. Although the value of humilitas implied a sharp contrast to the values of honor and rank, one can find forms of expression, which revealed a noble’s or ruler’s humility.

Five documents bear witness to the events, and each presents problems for historians.
The accounts of Adémar of Chabannes and Paul of St Père de Chartres have received more attention than others, since they hint at the presence of dualist heretics in France, whom some historians have sought to link to the dualist Bogomils of Bulgaria and the Byzantine Empire.

One of the inscriptions on the Plan itself states that it was designed for Gozbert, the abbot of St. While our inability to pinpoint the Plan's author and his motivation is frustrating, the conclusion that the Plan was not created for a specific time and place paradoxically makes it more valuable: the Plan might be fairly characterized as a two-dimensional meditation on the ideal early medieval monastic community, created at a time when monasticism was one of the dominant forms of political, economic, and cultural power in Europe.

Almsgiving and the Formation of Early Medieval Societies, A.D. 700-1025 - Medievalists.net. – July 7, 2011Posted in: Articles Almsgiving and the Formation of Early Medieval Societies, A.D. 700-1025 By Eric Shuler PhD Dissertation, University of Notre Dame (2010) Abstract: This dissertation undertakes an investigation of a behavior practiced by kings and commoners alike: charity to the poor or, to adopt the term favored then, almsgiving (eleemosina).
It covers early medieval England and Francia. This work makes two arguments, one for continuity and one for change. Early medieval Christians embraced their late antique inheritance of almsgiving, entrenching it as a sophisticated and robust system of personal and institutional charity. The second part describes the practice of almsgiving. The third part turns to society. Click here to read this thesis from the University of Notre Dame.
