  Call for papers - Middle Ages

  Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment

  International Medieval Congress

  Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.

  Paternity at the end of the Middle Ages and early Modern period, 14th-16th century: forms and reforms?

  Die Vaterschaft im Spätmittelalter und in der Frühen Neuzeit (14.-16. Jahrhundert): Formen, Reformen?

  Cette journée d’études portera sur l’histoire de la paternité en Allemagne, en Suisse et en Italie entre le XIV^e siècle et le XVI^e siècle, et sur l’articulation possible entre l’évolution des formes de la paternité et les réformes du temps. En partant de l’étude de sources variées (textes littéraires, livres de famille, images, textes doctrinaux, testaments, etc.) émanant de milieux divers (clercs, patriciens, marchands, lettrés, etc.), on proposera de s’interroger sur la redéfinition des droits et des devoirs des pères, sur les formes de la transmission, sur les mots et les images de la paternité, comme sur les représentations de la masculinité et de la féminité que ces formes de la paternité mettent en jeu.

  Merchant, Ecclesiastical and Urban experiences for the uprising of princely accounting

  Provence, Comté Venaissin, Dauphiné, Savoy, and others territories of Occident (12th - 15th Century)

  The advent of monarchic accounting during the Thirteenth Century requires two types of reflection. The first one deals with the personnel mobilized by the monarch, its background, training and professional and family culture. The second one is more of an inquiry into the writing methods, the conservation and consultation processes used by the institutions in charge of princely accounting, especially the Camere rationum (accounting offices).
