Cette étude présente un relevé et une analyse systématique des passages de la littérature rabbinique (Mishna – Tosefta – Talmud de Jérusalem – Talmud de Babylone – Midrashim) se rapportant à Jésus ou susceptibles de s'y rapporter. Les documents sont examinés, critiqués et confrontés à d'autres sources d'origine juive ou chrétienne (littérature judéo-hellénistique, apocryphes juifs, sources rabbiniques, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – Nouveau Testament, Pères apostoliques, Père de l'église). L'enquête tente de répondre à plusieurs questions : - Quelle connaissance les rabbins avaient-ils exactement de Jésus ? - Quelle est la valeur historique de ces informations ? - Leur perception du personnage a-t-elle connu une évolution ? - Les scribes du Talmud consultaient-ils le texte écrit des évangiles ? La conclusion de cette thèse est que tous ces documents sont enracinés dans leur Sitz im leben. Ils attestent sans ambages – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – que les rabbins n'avaient pas une connaissance directe des évangiles en tant que documents écrits. Cette étude montre également, concernant le Talmud de Babylone, que tous les passages se rapportant à Jésus appartiennent à la dernière couche éditoriale de ce corpus (VIIe-VIIIe siècle). / This study presents a survey and a systematic analysis of the passages of Talmudic literature (Mishna – Tosefta – Palestinian Talmud – Babylonian Talmud – Midrashim), relative to Jesus or are supposed to be. The documents are examined, criticized and confronted to other sources of Jewish or Christian origin (Hellenistic Jewish literature, Jewish Apocrypha, rabbinic sources, Targumim, Toledot Yeshu – New Testament, Apostolic Fathers, Church Fathers). The investigation tries to answer to several questions: - What did the rabbis exactly know about Jesus? - Has their information any historical value? - Has their perception undergone some evolution? - Did the rabbis of the Talmud have access to the Gospels as a written source? The conclusion of this thesis is that all these documents are rooted in their Sitz im leben. They obviously attest – contra Peter Schäfer (Jesus in the Talmud, 2007) – that the rabbis had no direct acquaintance with the Gospels as written documents. This study also shows, concerning the Babylonian Talmud, that all the passages relative to Jesus belong to the last editorial layer of this corpus (VIIe-VIIIe century).

This thesis has set out with the intention of providing a detailed investigation of the pattern of urban development which occurred in the lordships of Glamorgan, Gwynllŵg, Caerleon and Usk between 1217 and 1314, The reason for concentrating upon the period 1217-1314 is that it was during this time that each of the four lordships passed into the hands of a single baronial family, the Clare earls of Gloucester and Hertford. A central theme of the thesis has been to obtain an understanding of the way in which urban development as a whole evolved during this period, with particular emphasis being placed upon the role played by the Clare seigneurs in shaping these developments. This question of seigneurial involvement is important, and sets the study apart from previous investigations into urbanisation in the four lordships. Whilst the individual development of towns within the lordships has generally received a fair amount of historical and archaeological investigation, very little attempt has been made to examine how the towns might have been interactive and interdependent in terms of administration and economic development when under the control of a common lord. In the course of this thesis consideration has been made of the development and evolution of the towns of Cardiff, Newport, Kenfig, Neath, Caerleon, Usk, Cowbridge, Trelech, Llantrisant and Caerphilly, and important aspects regarding the respective influence of the seigneur and the burgesses have been identified. In all the towns held by the Clares, it emerges that it was the seigneur who represented the dominant force in shaping urban development. Moreover, strong evidence has emerged to suggest that the Clares adopted and implemented a homogeneous attitude towards the development of urban centres in their Marcher lordships.
