Le Marais - Atlas historique de Paris Le Marais et le quartier Saint-Paul au Moyen-Age A l’origine le Marais forme, comme son nom semble l’indiquer (1), un vaste espace marécageux compris entre la voie romaine (rue Saint-Martin) à l’ouest, la Seine au sud et l’ancien bras du fleuve qui formait une vaste courbe suivant approximativement le bassin de l’Arsenal, le boulevard Richard-Lenoir, la place de la République puis les rues du Château d’Eau, des Petites Ecuries, Richer, de Provence, La Boétie pour rejoindre le cours moderne du fleuve place de l’Alma. Cet espace était traversé d’ouest en est par la voie romaine (la rue Saint-Antoine) et comportait quelques buttes insubmersibles sur lesquelles se sont implantées les églises mérovingiennes Saint-Gervais et Saint-Paul. Ce secteur de la rive droite se développe autour de la place de Grève, de son port et de son marché, au Xe et XIe siècle et une première enceinte construite vers l’an mil siècle enserre un espace d’une vingtaine d’hectares (cf. Paris en l’an mil et en 1150).
Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire DMMapp - Digitized Medieval Manuscripts App What is the DMMapp? The DMMapp is an open source app that links to digital repositories containing digitized western medieval manuscripts from all over the world. Finding digitized repositories can be difficult, and we want to create a central hub that can help medievalists, codicologists, and enthusiasts to find the medieval manuscripts they are searching for. Who made the DMMapp? The DMMapp is a project by Giulio Menna, MA, and Marjolein de Vos, MA. I love the DMMapp! Contribute to the DMMapp If you are aware of a library that is not on our DMMapp, you can use the "Add a Missing Library" form to let us know. I would like to base a project on the DMMapp! Absolutely! Where can I contact you? There is a nice and tidy contact form for that.
French World War I Posters About This web site presents digitized versions of 105 posters published in France during the First World War, representing a time of national volatility and a visual culture of lithography, illustrations, posters, and paintings. The original posters are housed in the University of Illinois Archives. Repairs and encapsulation were accomplished prior to 2001 using funds provided by a gift of Marian H. Thompson, and the posters were scanned between 2001 and 2005. World War I inspired Europe's second "poster craze," or affichomania, in a span of fifty years. The posters collected here represent a landmark in poster history, because World War I saw the first large-scale use of posters for political purposes. Themes Find out about the major themes that the posters covered and see representative examples. Timeline View a timeline that shows how poster design changed over the course of the war. Artists Spotlight on five prolific poster artists whose work you can find in the collection. Browse
