During the Workshop, different case of study related to some regions of the European territory will be analyzed with a particular attention to what concerns the production, use and circulation of the different manuscripts examined.

  When cities meet forests

  Environmental approaches of interactions between cities and forest supplies during the Middles Ages and the Early modern period. 12th International Conference on urban History, European Association for Urban History – Main Session M16

  As places of consumption and production European medieval and early modern cities exerted a enormous pressure on neighbouring woodlands. Some historical studies have already discussed the way cities tried to impone their control on these lands emphasizing the diversity of needs which were fulfilled by forest exploitation (wood, timber, charcoal, grazing…). They often concluded that urban pressure resulted in an inexorable degradation of the forest cover. Indeed local woodlands and forests products could probably never meet the demand. In order to face shortage or, better, to prevent it, urban authorities attempted on one hand to extend their control on more and more distant forests and to attract interregional or « international » trade flows. On the other hand, they tried to regulate the local market so as to ensure access to several important needs regarding urban economy (charcoal, timber).

  Rural Archeology and Rural History (Middle Ages – Modern era)

  2nd Rural History Summer School

  “Rural Archaeology and Rural History – Middle Ages – Modern era” The theme chosen for this 2013 edition of the Rural History Summer School will allow us to consider the relationship between rural archeology and history. More than the oppositions, it seems it is the relationships, the combinations and the intertwining of disciplines, that need to be questioned through the different scientific traditions in Europe (England, Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Italy). This European overview will be the major focus of this 2013 summer school. The emphasis will also be put on the recent development of post-medieval archaeology, practiced in England and Italy for example, but still embryonic in several European countries. The interrogations will dwell on rescue and commercial Archeology and on its methods and results.

  Toponymy and perception of space in Egypt from Antiquity to Middle Ages

  La toponymie est un outil essentiel pour comprendre les liens entre l’espace égyptien et les différentes cultures qui s’y sont succédé. D’une part pour appréhender la manière dont cet espace était géré et organisé par les différents pouvoirs et d’autre part pour aborder la façon dont il était perçu. L’étude de la toponymie égyptienne sur le temps long – de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge – permet ainsi d’envisager continuités et ruptures dans les différents systèmes toponymiques qui se sont superposés (administratifs, religieux) et / ou succédé (pharaonique, grec, copte, arabe) dans cet espace. Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif d’interroger, grâce à l’intervention de spécialistes du monde antique et médiéval, les processus de nomination à l’oeuvre dans la toponymie, ainsi que les mécanismes de gestion et d’appropriation des territoires de l’espace égyptien.
