The project deals with the revitalization and spatial cultivation of the Dominican monastery with adjacent parish in Znojmo. The monastery is located near the castle walls in the historic center of Znojmo, on the street Dolní Česká. Gradually, should be its conversion from the original method of use to a new use, in order not to delay construction and degradation due to an empty object. The complex, its location and the actual functionality offers precondition for the formation of a community center with associated social housing. The community center should use the premises of the monastery, along with commerce and parishes. Living on the contrary, the rectory and the newly created mass in the courtyard.

Jean Bréhal est un dominicain normand, docteur en théologie, qui s’est fait un nom en tant qu’inquisiteur du royaume de France, non pas en traquant l’hérésie, ou en poursuivant des sorcières, mais en annulant des condamnations, et plus particulièrement celle de la Pucelle d’Orléans, vingt-cinq ans après le bûcher de Rouen. Sa longévité dans l’officio inquisitionis (de 1452 à 1474), sous les règnes de Charles VII et de Louis XI, contraste avec le nombre réduit d’affaires qu’il a instruites, d’après les sources. Aussi on peut se demander s’il fait figure d’exception, ou s’il est inquisiteur exemplaire de la fin du Moyen Âge. Le «cas Bréhal» invite à examiner la charge d’inquisiteur après le Concile de Vienne, dans le contexte particulier, à la fois d’un territoire encore marqué par les antagonismes de la guerre de Cent ans, et d’une Église éprouvée par le Grand Schisme et ses séquelles. Sur la base d’un corpus composé principalement des écrits du dominicain, dont certains éléments sont des manuscrits inédits, mais dont le noyau est constitué par la procédure en nullité de la condamnation de Jeanne d’Arc, cette thèse se propose non seulement d’appréhender l’homme et son parcours, mais aussi et surtout sa pensée, d’analyser son écriture scolastique, de saisir le sens de son action, percer ses motivations, et peut-être comprendre la nature du «pouvoir» qu’il a incarné pendant plusieurs décennies. Au final, c’est une époque, des milieux, et la situation d’un office, que cette étude centrée sur Jean Bréhal éclaire, tout autant que la spécificité d’un individu. Elle a surtout pour but de faire connaître une œuvre qui embrasse des champs variés et des centres d’intérêts divers. / Jean Bréhal is a Dominican friar from Normandy and a theology professor, who became renowned as an inquisitor in the kingdom of France, neither for tracking down heresy nor pursuing witches, but for quashing sentences, more especially the sentence of condemnation of the Maid of Orléans, twenty five years after she was burnt at the stake in Rouen. The longevity of his tenure in the officium inquisitionis (from 1452 until 1474), in the reigns of Charles VII and Louis XI, contrasts with how few investigations he actually conducted, according to the documentation. So we wonder whether he was an exception or exemplary for the late Middle Ages. The “Bréhal case” suggests looking upon the office of inquisitor after the Council of Vienne, in the particular context of a territory that was still scarred by the divisions of the Hundred Years’ war, and of a Church that had been tested by the Great Schism and its aftermaths. Our corpus mostly consists of the Dominican’s own writings, of which some documents are unpublished manuscripts, and its core lies in the trial of nullification of the condemnation of Joan of Arc. On that basis, the aim of this thesis is to know not only the man and his journey but also, and above all, his thinking, to parse his scholastic prose, to grasp the meaning of his action, to discover his motivation, and to understand the nature of the “power” that he has embodied over several decades. Eventually, this study, while focusing on Jean Bréhal, sheds light as much on a time, a world and the state of an office, as on the specificities of one individual. Above all, its goal is to introduce readers to a body of works that contains various fields and interests.

Entre le début du XVe siècle et la fin du XVIIe siècle, la question de la justice de l’élection et de la damnation divine fait l’objet de débats d’une grande virulence entre les théologiens catholiques. Contre la conception luthérienne d’un «Dieu aimant les uns et détestant les autres d’un amour et d’une haine éternels», les Dominicains et les Jésuites interrogent les raisons motivant le châtiment de Dieu, quand les Jansénistes clament que Dieu ne doit rien à personne. Les théologies de l’imputation morale de la période s’affrontent à propos de la définition de l’offense au Créateur, de la question du salut des païens, des conditions d’attribution de la grâce, et portent à leur paroxysme les tensions inhérentes au catholicisme post-tridentin. Ce présent travail montre comment la théologie n’a pas assisté en spectatrice impuissance à l’élaboration du sujet laïc, mais y a participé de manière active et paradoxale. C’est au beau milieu des feux mutuels que se lancent les polémistes que l’on peut suivre la manière dont s’élabore peu à peu la distinction de deux sphères de l’imputation morale – celle de l’homme et celle du chrétien –, et ainsi, la manière dont on vient à concevoir une version sécularisée de la faute morale, ou une offense à la droite raison qui ne soit nullement une offense à Dieu. / Between the beginning of the 16th and the late 17th century, Catholic theologians argue about the justice of the divine election and damnation. Against the Lutheran conception of “a God loving ones but detesting the others with eternal love and hate”, Dominicans and Jesuits question the reasons motivating God reprobation, while the Jansenist position is that “God owes us nothing”. At this period, theologies of moral imputation fight on multiple topics: how to define the offence to the Creator, how to ground pagans’ salvation, what are the conditions of grace attribution, and overall these debates will bring the tensions inherent to post-Tridentine Catholicism into focus. In this work, I show that theology did not passively watch the making of the secular subject but was instead an active and paradoxical player. It is in the middle of the controversy between the different polemists that we can trace back the way the distinction between the two spheres of moral imputation – the one of the men and the one of the Christians – is progressively grounded, and thus, we can understand the path leading to a secularized version of the moral fault, namely, an offense to reason that is not an offense to God.

Canonization of Saint Thomas Aquinas Abstract This thesis inquires into the canonization process of Thomas Aquinas, in relation to specific circumstances and general usage of the era on the field of canonizing saints. While at the grave of the reverend master, miracles were produced and the popular cult was rising, on western universities, a doctrinal dispute has flared up which touched Thomas' doctrine, as well. The case has not be resolved untill nearly fifty years, when the pope John XXII has shown interest in canonizing one important personality of Dominican order. The choice fell on Thomas. The minor friars, protected by the roman king Louis IV the Bavarian, oposed but the pope got his purpose through, and so Thomas' learning became the leading stream in theology and thinking. The aim of this thesis is to approach period specificities of the cult of saints and canonization processes, to outline a brief history of Thomas' way to canonization and following occurrences, and to try to figure out broader context of the process, evaluating the importance of particular aspects at the same time. The thesis is based on canonization documents and relies on relevant sources and specialized literature. Keywords Canonization, canonization process, cult of saints, Thomas Aquinas, relics, translation, dispute,...

The Convent of Dominicans on the Hare Island in Budapest. The topic of the master thesis is the architectural analysis of the Nunnery of Dominicans on the Hare Island in Budapest, which was established with Bela the IV. to his daughter Margaret - later Saint Margeret of Hungary. The Nunnery was originated around the middle of the 13th century (the most probably between 1246-1252). And is presented as an example of the archtitecture of Nunnery of the Orders of Dominicans in Europe. This master thesis presents the history of this Nunnery and also the origin of the guild of the nunnery. The guild was working all around Buda for the king of Hungary - Béla IV. Some of the Hungarian Art Historians think, that the guild originally came to Hungary after they finished their works on the Nunnery of the Cistercianer Order in Porta Coeli in Tišnov near Brno. The person of Saint Margaret of Hungary and her Cult in Hungary and Europe is also discussed in this master thesis.

Bien que la relation entre les universités et l’ordre dominicain, nettement orienté vers l’étude depuis ses premières années, attire l’attention des historiens du Moyen Âge depuis longtemps, la rencontre des Prêcheurs avec le système universitaire des grades, qui constituait le premier attrait de l’universitas pour ces religieux, n’a pas encore donné lieu à des études systématiques. Focalisée sur l’époque postérieure au milieu du XIVème siècle, où la prolifération rapide des facultés de théologie en Europe a offert aux dominicains davantage d’occasions d’accéder aux grades universitaires, la présente thèse a pour objectif de mesurer l’impact qu’a exercé le magisterium sur les normes, pratiques et idées des fils de saint Dominique de France, dont l’idéologie était étroitement liée aux activités universitaires. Dans les provinces françaises de l’ordre, où le réseau des studia dominicains ont vu un véritable essor, l’élite intellectuelle se procurent l’estime des frères et de nombreux avantages dès le XIIIème siècle. L’aspiration au statut privilégié des frères savants s’accentue au fur et à mesure que le système des grades de théologie, établi tout d’abord au sein de l’université de Paris, est implanté dans bien des communautés universitaires d’Europe. Il en découle que les supérieurs de l’ordre ont voulu contrôler plus rigoureusement la conquête du diplôme par les frères, ce qui a donné lieu à un régime de surveillance des candidats dominicains aux grades universitaires, codifié dès le début du XVème siècle en vertu d’une nouvelle constitution de l’ordre et raffiné grâce à de nombreuses ordonnances du chapitre général. Les règlements étant établis de façon à conditionner l’obtention des grades universitaires, la relation entre les normes et les pratiques s’avère cependant loin d’être univoque, ce que nous montrent les données prosopographiques des dominicains autorisés à poursuivre le magisterium. Parfois, les normes restrictives s’adaptent aux pratiques que vivent nos religieux. Cette élasticité des législations dominicaines augmente l’importance du jugement ad hoc des supérieurs pour examiner et garantir les qualités intellectuelles et morales des religieux admis à l’obtention des grades, dans la mesure où, après le foisonnement des facultés de théologie, le chapitre général, auquel incombe de façon exclusive la décision finale de l’envoi des religieux vers les universités, se trouve étouffé à cause de l’entassement des dossiers de candidature des frères aspirant au doctorat. D’où un enchevêtrement sensible qui caractérise les pratiques d’autorisation de la conquête du magisterium, auxquelles participent de manière active les religieux désirant le diplôme eux-mêmes. En revanche, la famille religieuse ne semblait pas très préoccupée des actes académiques accomplis en pratique au sein de la faculté, car, en s’appuyant sur la faveur pontificale généreusement accordée, elle pouvait conférer le magisterium aux frères qui le méritaient. La prédilection de nos religieux pour le magisterium est d’autant plus inébranlable que cette dignité s’associe étroitement à la conscience de soi des fils de saint Dominique. Le regard des frères vis-à-vis des magistri se révèle cependant à double tranchant, car l’état doctoral ne peut jamais se libérer de la suspicion de la vanité mondaine. Particulièrement intéressés par cette question récurrente de l’arrogance magistrale, les observants se montrent aussi attachés aux grades que les frères qui n’embrassent pas la cause de la réforme. L’ancrage du système universitaire des grades dans l’idéologie des fils de saint Dominique s’avère si profonde que, voué à un idéal analogue à celui des universitaires – participation par voie intellectuelle à la prospérité de l’Église –, l’ordre dominicain apparaît à son tour comme une universitas des docteurs de la science sacrée à la fin de notre époque. / Although the relationship between the Universities and the Dominican Order in the Middle Ages has attracted historians’ attention for a long time, the impact of the University degree system upon the Friars Preachers has not yet given rise to systematic studies. Focusing on the fifteenth century, where a rapid proliferation of faculties of theology in Europe has given Dominicans more opportunities to access university degrees, this dissertation aims to measure an influence that the magisterium had on the norms, practices and ideas of French Dominican friars, whose ideology was closely linked to university activities. In the French provinces, where the network of Dominican Studia was highly developed, the intellectual elite earned the respect of brothers and enjoyed many advantages within the Order. Aspiration to the privileged status of scholarly Dominicans is accentuated as the degree system of faculty of theology, first established within University of Paris, is implanted in many universities of Europe. As a result, the superiors of the Order wanted to control more rigorously friars’ obtaining of the magisterium. Finally, the Order established a system of supervision for Dominican degree candidates, which was codified in the Order’s new constitution enacted in the beginning of the fifteenth century and refined through many ordinances of the General Chapter. In spite of Dominicans’ efforts to condition the obtaining of university degrees, the relationship between norms and practices was fairly complex, as shown by a prosopographical analysis of the friars authorized to pursue the magisterium. Sometimes, restrictive norms adapt to practices. Such an elasticity of Dominican legislation increased the importance of ad hoc judgments by the superiors, who were responsible to examine and guarantee intellectual and moral qualities of the friars admitted to the degree. Hence, authorizing process of Dominican degree candidates became quite complicated, as the friars who were eager for the degree committed themselves actively in such a process. On the other hand, the Order did not seem very interested in the academic acts which Dominicans performed in practice within the faculty, because, relying on pontifical favor generously granted, it could confer the magisterium on the friars who deserved it. The predilection of Dominicans for the degree seems all the more unshakable as the magisterium is closely associated with their self-consciousness. Friars' view of the magistri is, however, double-edged, for the doctor can never be free from suspicion of worldly vanity. The Observant Dominicans were particularly interested in this recurrent question of masters’ arrogance. They were nevertheless as attached to the degree as the non-reformed friars. The University degree system took root so profoundly in the Dominicans’ ideology that they shared an ideal with University men, that of intellectual contribution to a prosperity of the Church, and the Dominican Order appeared as an universitas of doctors of theology.

Nous traitons ici de l’enseignement en Irak sous l'Empire Ottoman, aux XIXe et XXe siècles, dans un pays autrefois multi-ethnique et pluri-confessionnel. Pendant les Tanzimat, l'Irak bénéficia des réformes du gouverneur Midhat Pacha. Plusieurs écoles Chrétiennes, Juives et des différentes communautés existaient avant les missions religieuses occidentales (Carmes, Dominicains. Alliance Israélite Universelle). L'évolution des différents établissements et leurs liens éventuels sont décrits ici. À partir d'archives françaises et iraquiennes, un panorama précis de l'enseignement irakien s'établit après 1908. Nous mettons en évidence le rôle des écoles privées des missions françaises catholiques et juives qui ont diffusé la langue et la culture (laïcité) françaises en Irak (imprimerie, traductions, presse), avec l'appui de la diplomatie française au-delà du gouvernement de Vichy. Sept portraits d'intellectuels irakiens illustrent l'influence française en même temps que la réhabilitation de la langue arabe. Nous pensons contribuer ainsi à une meilleure connaissance de l'Irak au XIXe siècle et revivifier les échanges culturels entre notre pays et la France. / We are dealing here with education in Iraq under the Ottoman Empire, in the nineteenth and twentieth century's, in a once multi-ethnic and multi-confessional country. During the Tanzimat, Iraq benefited from the reforms of Governor Midhat Pasha. Several Christian, Jewish and different communities' schools existed before Western religious missions (Carmelites, Dominicans, Alliance Israelite Universally). The evolution of the different institutions and their possible links are described here. From French and Iraqi archives, a precise panorama of Iraqi education is established since 1908. We highlight the role of the private schools of the French Catholic and Jewish missions which disseminated French language and culture (secularism) in Iraq (printing, translations, press), with the support of French diplomacy till and after the government of Vichy.Seven portraits of Iraqi intellectuals illustrate the French influence as well as the rehabilitation of the Arabic language. We believe we contribute in this way to a better knowledge of Iraq in the nineteenth century and to revitalize the cultural exchanges between our country and France.

In this thesis I argue that Jordan of Saxony (d. 1237), Master of the Order of Preachers, fostered a culture of openness toward the participation of women in the religious life of the Dominican order. This is demonstrated, in part, through the study of the nature of Jordan's support for Diana d'Andalò (d. 1236) and her convent of Sant'Agnese and his presentation of female pastoral care in the Libellus, his history of the order. The argument is also developed by means of a chronologically-informed reading of Jordan's letters, which explores his use of familial language, his employment of the topoi of spiritual friendship, and the significance he attributes to the role of religious women's prayer in the order's evangelical mission. Jordan's friendship with Diana d'Andalò and her convent of Sant'Agnese is well-known, if not necessarily well-explored. It is usually treated as a case apart from the order's increasing hostility to the pastoral care of religious and devout women, which gained momentum over the course of Jordan's tenure. This thesis seeks to break down this compartmentalized view by articulating not only the close parallels between Jordan's perception of friars and nuns within the order, but also the way in which he extended bonds of mutual religious commitment to religious women outside the order. As such, this study also intends to contribute to a growing historiography that explores the various ways in which medieval men and women participated together in religious life.

Este estudo busca trazer elementos para explicar a crise que dissolveu a Unilabor, uma experiência autogestionária operária única a seu tempo, em São Paulo, através da análise da documentação interna da empresa, das informações prestadas por alguns dos participantes, entrevistados, e pelo recurso à hipótese de prevalência de uma racionalidade instrumental, a certa altura dos acontecimentos, em lugar da racionalidade substantiva pressuposta nos fundamentos da comunidade. Os elementos para a formulação e exame dessa hipótese provêm das teorias marxistas do trabalho, conforme reformuladas e atualizadas por autores como Robert Kurz, Roberto Schwarz, Moishe Postone, Jürgen Habermas, André Gorz e Ricardo Antunes, os quais, mesmo não uniformemente, apontam os elementos atuais de uma crise da categoria \'trabalho\' como elemento central da formação da riqueza. Também os conceitos de comunidade, solidariedade, esperança e amizade, conforme expostos e analisados por Giorgio Agamben e Terry Eagleton, servirão para problematizar as conclusões do trabalho. O aspecto estético, consubstanciado no desenho industrial utilizado nos móveis produzidos pela Unilabor, aparece como fundamento secundário da hipótese de insuficiência substantiva apresentada, pois pretendeu ser fator pedagógico, portanto de aprendizado de ofício, para os operários envolvidos na autogestão. Tal programa estético, tanto quanto a solidariedade, a amizade e a racionalidade substantiva, também mostrou-se insuficiente para a manutenção dos laços comunitários. / This study aims to gather elements to explain the crisis that dissolved Unilabor, a workers\' self-management experience in São Paulo that was unique in its time, through the analysis of the company\'s internal documentation, through information provided by some of the participants who were interviewed, as well as by resorting to the hypothesis of prevalence of an instrumental rationality, at one point, in place of the substantive rationality assumed in the fundamentals of the community. The elements for the formulation and analysis of this hypothesis come from Marxist theories of labor, as reformulated and updated by authors such as Robert Kurz, Roberto Schwarz, Moishe Postone, Jürgen Habermas, André Gorz, and Ricardo Antunes, who, albeit not uniformly, have pointed out the current elements of a crisis of the category \'work\' as a central element in the creation of wealth. Additionally, the concepts of community, solidarity, hope, and friendship, as defined and analyzed by Giorgio Agamben, and Terry Eagleton will be used to open the conclusions of this paper up to discussion. The aesthetic aspect, embodied in the industrial design of the furniture produced by Unilabor is present as a background for the substantive insufficiency hypothesis that is presented, since it intends to function as a factor that is pedagogical, thus concerning the learning of one\'s craft by workers involved in the self-management. This aesthetic program, as much as the solidarity, friendship, and substantive rationality, also proved to be insufficient for the maintenance of community ties.
