Voyage dans la Pouille réelle et imaginaire: L'Italie méridionale et son imaginaire “ byzantinisant ” dans la littérature de fiction, XIIe–XIIIe s.
Abstract
The medieval romance Guillaume de Dole mentions a mysterious queen of Puglia as well as a fairy who are both remarkable embroiderers. Examining the geopolitical situation of Apulia in the 12th and 13th c., the article argues that this surprising promotion of Apulia and its supposed fairies and queens in literature is due to a genuine interest in a region hotly coveted by princes, kings and emperors, but also to the desire to move away from Arthurian romance and explore new imaginary territories.

This paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness of the Bourdieusian concept of “symbolic revolution” for the analysis of the mutations that crystallised around 1130 in the administration, the art of government, as well as in the artistic and literary sphere in southern Italy and Sicily during the reign of Roger II. It allows us to take into consideration both their radical novelty and their causes referring to regional pasts, shedding light not only on their conceptual dimension, but also their material dimension. The Sicilian framework is privileged here and the demonstration is carried out through the analysis of three cases: the conception of Palermo as a capital, the difficulties raised by the interpretation of the ceiling of the Palatine Chapel of Palermo and the genesis of the rogerian sigillographic uses.
Byzantine Studies explores every aspect of the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, which flourished from AD 330 to 1453. Its heart was the city of Constantinople, also known as Byzantium and today as Istanbul. Byzantine Studies covers a vast range of research areas: archaeology and art history; linguistics, philology, and literature in Greek and other languages; economic, social, religious, military, and environmental history; and the history of philosophical thought and spirituality.
Les cérémonies de couronnement de Guillaume I er en 1066 et de Roger II en 1130 relèvent chacune de la sacralité royale, mais tous deux expriment, à partir du rituel de couronnement et des artéfacts qui lui sont liés, leur revendication à régner impérialement en leur royaume. Pour cela, ils mobilisent une multitude de références qu’ils empruntent au répertoire extrêmement polysémique de l’ imperium. En les agrégeant au rituel de couronnement, ils en font le support d’un syncrétisme idéologique qui a marqué les esprits, au-delà de toute cohérence avec la réalité de leurs pratiques de gouvernement. L’unité liturgique entre les royaumes normands d’Angleterre et de Sicile nous permet d’aborder de manière parallèle les différences et les similitudes entre ces deux cérémonies, au cours desquelles les marques de l’impérialité donnaient à voir l’idée que l’empire était, pour tous deux, un horizon des possibles.
The subject of this article is the mantle of the kings of Sicily, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Made in Palermo in the 1130s, it is often known as the mantle of Roger II. Following his coronation in 1130, King Roger II saw the need to ensure the succession of his sons. As part of his strategy to consolidate dynastic succession, Roger invested his sons with important titles in the mainland regions of the kingdom. This article has two parts: the first discusses the materials used to make the mantle, the journeys they took to reach Sicily and the diplomatic and commercial relationships necessary to acquire them. The second part argues that the mantle may have been made for the investiture ceremonies of the king’s sons and examines how the materials and their exoticism shaped the ceremonial meaning of the garment.
Oh what a noble and beautiful city is Constantinople! How many monasteries and palaces it contains, constructed with wonderful skill! How many remarkable things may be seen in the principal avenues and even in the lesser streets! It would be very tedious to enumerate the wealth that is there of every kind, of gold, of silver, or robes of many kinds, and of holy relics. Merchants constantly bring to the city by frequent voyages all the necessities of man.—Fulcher of Chartres, History of the Expedition to Jerusalem
