Écrire l’histoire universelle au Moyen Âge : alexandre le Grand et l'histoire de la Macédoine dans les chroniques du Nord de la France (XIIIè-XVè siècles) / Writing universal history in the Middle Ages : the life of Alexander the Great in the universal chronicles of Northern France (13th-15th century)

Koroleva, Elena 24 November 2018 (has links)
Le présent travail est consacré aux récits de la vie d'Alexandre incorporés aux trois histoires universelles que sont la Chronique dite de Baudoin d'Avesnes, composée par un écrivain anonyme entre 1278 et 1281, et deux versions de la Fleur des histoires, écrites par le même auteur, Jean Mansel, fonctionnaire à la cour de Bourgogne, respectivement dans les années 1140 et 1460. Le choix de ces trois textes s'explique par leur origine géographique commune, par les relations qu'ils entretiennent entre eux, par leurs modalités de diffusion et de réception similaires. Provenant du Nord de la France, très lus par les lecteurs nobles de la fin du moyen Age, ils constituent un corpus unifié inédit et restent un champ presque vierge pour la recherche. Les trois oeuvres accordent une place majeure à la vie d'Alexandre le Grand et à l'historie de son empire, en exploitant des sources différentes, des chroniques universelles de l'Antiquité tardive, comme celle d'Orose, aux textes d'inspiration courtoise comme les Voeux du paon de Jacques de Longuyon. La thèse comprend une étude de la tradition manuscrite des trois textes, une recherche sur leurs auteurs, leurs mécènes et leurs lecteurs, une analyse des stratégies de réécriture élaborées pour recomposer le portrait d'Alexandre et intégrer sa vie dans le continuum d'une histoire universelle ainsi qu'une étude des fonctions que les auteurs lui accordent dans l'histoire de l'humanité. Elle édite en annexe les prologues des chroniques et les trois récits de la vie d'Alexandre. / The present study examines the life of Alexander the Great as it is told in three universal chronicles, the Chronique dite de Baudoin d'Avesnes, written by an anonymous historian between 1278 and 1281, and two versions of the Fleur des histoires, composed in 1440s and in 1460s, respectively, by Jean mansel, a functionary at the Burgundian court. The three texts have a common geographical provenance and were read by the same readers ; furthermore, Mansel borrowed extensively from his predecessor to create the two versions of his chronicle. Despite evidence, of their wide readership in the Middle Ages, these texts remain largely unknown to modern researchers. The shared genre model, geographical and intellectual connections between these chronicles, on the one hand, and their paradoxical status of once well-known and now nearly forgotten texts, on the other, have prompted the decision to study them together. On crucial link between these works is the prominence their authors give to Alexander the Great and the variety of sources they use to tell his story, ranging from universal chronicles of the late Antiquity, such as Orosius' Historiae, to courtly romances such as Jacques de Longuyon' Voeux du paon. Our thesis comprises firstly, a study of the manuscript tradition of the three texts, with an emphasis on the role authors of the chronicles, their patrons and readers played in the creation and dissemination of various textual versions, followed by an analysis of the strategies employed by the authors to rewrite the story of Alexander's life in order to integrate it in the continuum of universal history and, finally, an examination of the roles assigned to the Macedonian king in the history of the humanity. The appendices contain an edition of the prologues and of the three accounts of Alexander's life.

Dall'Axios all'Hebrus: una periferia dimenticata / From the Axios to the Hebrus: a Forgotten (Border)Land

MAINARDI, MARIA 15 April 2013 (has links)
La storia tracia occupa spesso una posizione marginale sia nelle fonti antiche sia negli studi moderni. La presente indagine intende ricostruire le vicende della regione attorno alla metà del IV secolo a.C., dalla morte del sovrano odrisio Kotys (intorno al 360 a.C.) all’insurrezione di Seuthes III (dopo il 326 a.C.). Le fonti letterarie antiche forniscono informazioni lacunose e frammentarie, perché si dedicarono agli avvenimenti traci soltanto quando questi interferirono con la coeva storia ateniese o macedone. Dati aggiuntivi si ricavano dalla documentazione epigrafica, numismatica e archeologica. La presente ricerca ripercorre le complesse dinamiche che portarono alla conquista della Tracia da parte di Filippo II, a costo di numerose e impegnative campagne, e analizza le difficoltà sorte nel mantenere il controllo macedone sulla regione: la pacificazione, tentata da Filippo II negli ultimi anni di regno, non resistette a lungo e l’età di Alessandro fu caratterizzata da una continua tensione tra le spinte autonomistiche delle popolazioni locali e i tentativi di sottomissione condotti dai Macedoni. Una serie di rivolte e il progressivo aumento dell’autonomia locale fecero sì che, alla fine del regno di Alessandro, le tribù tracie riuscissero a tornare "de facto" all’indipendenza originaria. / Thracian history is very often left in a secondary place in ancient sources and in modern studies. This research wants to investigate the Thracian history around the half of IV century B.C., from the death of the Odrisian king Kotys (in about 360 B.C.) to the Seuthes III’s revolt (after 326 B.C.). The ancient literary sources are scanty and give fragmentary or incomplete data: they tell about Thrace only when this region is involved in Athenian or Macedonian history. Epigraphic, numismatic and archeological evidence can sometimes be added. This study demonstrates that the conquest of Thrace by Philip II wasn’t easy and it took a lot of time and many expeditions; the Macedonian control of the region was even harder, because the Thracian people always fought for their independence. The peace of the last years of Philip II’s reign couldn’t go on and, in Alexander’s time, many insurrections arose one after the other. Quintus Curtius Rufus tells that Thrace was almost lost in the end of Alexander’s reign: Seuthes III led the most important rising and local autonomy increased too. Thracian tribes returned "de facto" to their original independence.

Ancient and modern treatment of Alexander the Great

Hill, Joan 02 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines the different interpretations of the secondary sources for Alexander the Great by three modern historians, Nicholas Hammond, Peter Green and Mary Renault. The Introduction looks briefly at the lost primary Alexander-histories, the extant works of Diodorus Siculus, Quintus Curtius, Plutarch and Arrian and includes an abbreviated curriculum vltae of each modern author. Chapter X concerns modern interpretations of the controversial circumstances surrounding the accession of Alexander and the assassination of Philip. Chapter II covers the elimination of possible rivals, Attalus, Alexander Lyncestes and Amyntas son of Perdiccas, two major conspiracies - the Philotas Affair and the death of Parmenio, the conspiracy of the Royal Pages and death of Callisthenes - and the killing of Cleitus the Black. Chapter III deals with modern explanations of the death of Alexander. The Conclusion highlights significant theories and trends presented by the modern historians, which influence their interpretations of the ancient sources. / History / M.A. (Ancient History)

Les Res gestae Alexandri Macedonis de Julius Valerius: études lexicales, syntaxiques et stylistiques

Foubert, Frédéric 18 December 2007 (has links)
Les conquêtes et les hauts faits d’Alexandre le Grand ont fait l’objet d’une tradition romanesque à laquelle est donné le titre générique de Roman d’Alexandre ;elle est connue par le biais de nombreuses versions, traductions et adaptations. L’objectif de la thèse est d’évaluer les prétentions littéraires des Res gestae Alexandri Macedonis de Julius Valerius, première version latine connue de ce Roman. Le texte – envisagé comme objet littéraire autonome, en raison, notamment, de la perte de l’original grec dont il constitue la traduction – a été analysé au travers de trois séries d’études, portant sur le lexique, la syntaxe verbale et les figures de style. Effectués sur la base de la dernière édition de référence (ROSELLINI 2004²), ces dépouillements offrent la première vision approfondie des ambitions qui caractérisent la démarche de l’auteur ;ils ont permis en outre d’envisager, à titre d’hypothèse, l’objectif de ce dernier :dans un monde en voie de christianisation, donner à l’élite politique et culturelle un nouvel accès à texte consacré à l’une des figures les plus célèbres de la culture païenne. / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Connaissances et perceptions de l'Arabie et des Arabes chez les Anciens : (VIIIe siècle av. J.-C. - IVe siècle apr. J.-C.) / Knowledge and Perception of Arabia and Arabs among the Elders : (8th century B.C.E. – 4th century C.E.) / معرفة وتصور الجزيرة العربية والعرب عند الأقدمين : (القرن الثامن قبل الميلاد - القرن الرابع الميلادي)

Belkheir, Nadia 20 December 2018 (has links)
La thèse présente un corpus de sources gréco-latines relatif à l’Arabie et aux Arabes suivi d’un commentaire. Plus précisément, le corpus s’ouvre à l’époque archaïque avec quelques vers homériques et se termine au IVe siècle apr. J.-C. avec des extraits de l’Histoire romaine d’Ammien Marcellin. Les termes « Arabie » et « Arabe » de la tradition textuelle ancienne n’assument pas les mêmes acceptions qu’aujourd’hui. Au contraire, lorsque nous interrogeons le corpus sur ce qu’est l’Arabie en tant qu’espace géographique et sur l’identité des Arabes, nous aboutissons au constat que nous ne pouvons proposer une définition unique tant les auteurs anciens varient dans leur perception. La question de l’ethnicité est tout aussi complexe. Les sources anciennes désignent comme arabes des tribus qui ne se présentent pas elles-mêmes comme arabes dans leurs inscriptions : les Nabatéens sont désignés comme Arabes Nabatéens dans les textes tandis que cette auto-désignation est inconnue dans les inscriptions nabatéennes. / The dissertation provides a corpus of Graeco-Latin literary sources concerning Arabia and Arabs followed by a commentary. More precisely, the corpus opens in the Archaic period with some Homeric verses and ends in the 4th century C.E. with excerpts from the Roman History of Ammianus Marcellinus. The words “Arabia” and “Arab” in the ancient textual tradition do not have the same meaning as they do today. On the contrary, after questioning the corpus on what is Arabia as space and on the identity of Arabs, we come to the conclusion that we cannot propose a unique definition because ancient authors vary in their perception. Likewise, the issue of ethnicity is equally complex. Ancient sources refer to tribes as “Arabs” who do not present themselves as Arabs in their inscriptions : Nabateans are referred to as Nabateans Arabs in the texts while this self-definition is unknown in Nabatean inscriptions. / تقدم الأطروحة مجموعة من المصادر اليونانية-اللاتينية المتعلقة بالجزيرة العربية والعرب، مشفوعةبتعليق. على نحو أكثر دقة، تفتتح المجموعة في العصر القديم مع بعض أبيات هوميروس، وتنتهي في القرنالرابع الميلادي بمقتطفات من التاريخ الروماني لأميان مارسلين.لا يحمل مصطلحا "الجزيرة العربية والعرب" في التقاليد النصية القديمة معناهما نفسه اليوم، بل علىالعكس فعندما نسائل هذه المصادر عن ماهية الجزيرة العربية بوصفها مساحة جغرافية وعن هويةالعرب، نتوصل إلى استنتاج مفاده أننا لا نستطيع اقتراح تعريف واحد؛ لاختلاف المؤلفين القدامى فيتصوراتهم.المسالة الإثنية معقدة بالقدر نفسه، فالمصادر القديمة تصف بالعروبة القبائل التي لا تقدم هي نفسها فينقوشها على أنها عربية، فمثلا يشار في هذه النصوص إلى الأنباط بأنهم عرب مع أن هذا التصنيف الذاتيغير معروف في النقوش النبطية.
