    What is a corpus?

    Le propos de cette journée d’études est de s’interroger sur ce qui est (ou pourrait être) un corpus pour les historiens médiévistes. Elle entend proposer un diagnostic et contribuer à ouvrir des pistes de recherches épistémologiques, heuristiques et méthodologiques partagées, dans la mesure où en utilisant le terme de corpus dans son acception lâche de collection, recueil ou compilation, et beaucoup plus rarement en référence à la notion de corpus issue de la linguistique, les médiévistes n’ont pas encore fait émerger une définition raisonnée ni une réflexion conceptuelle autour de ce terme.

    Abraham Ibn Ezra, a Twelfth-Century Polymath who Straddled Arabic, Hebrew and Latin Culture

    In the middle of the eighth century, with the completion of the Islamic conquest of the eastern, northern and part of the western shores of the Mediterranean, Jews managed to successfully integrate into the ruling society without losing their religious and national identity. They willingly adopted the Arabic language, spoke Arabic fluently, wrote Arabic in Hebrew letters (Judeo-Arabic), and employed Arabic in the composition of their literary works. The twelfth century witnessed a cultural phenomenon that saw Jewish scholars gradually abandon the Arabic language and adopt Hebrew, previously used almost exclusively for religious and liturgical purposes, for the first time as a vehicle for the expression of secular and scientific ideas.
