Out of Spain: Posterity and Dissemination of the Aliento corpus in Europe and the Mediterranean
6th International Conference ALIENTO
Previous Aliento Conferences examined medieval sapiential corpora in the Iberian Peninsula, the ancient sources of the medieval corpora, the links between proverbs and sapiential literature in the Middle Ages, and addressed the questions of translation and context. The 6thconference will address the posterity of sapiential texts (of the wider Aliento corpus, in Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, Castilian and Catalan) starting from the Iberian Peninsula and their influence in Europe and the Mediterranean.

Materialities and inventories: treasuries, arsenals and memorials
La façon et les raisons pour lesquelles les archives de famille étaient inventoriées retiendront ici l’attention, tant pour la péninsule Ibérique que pour le piémont pyrénéen, entre Moyen Âge et modernité. Les inventaires anciens d’archives, plus nombreux qu’on ne le croit, instruments de travail ou registres de prestige, témoignent de l’organisation matérielle des fonds alors constitués, ordonnés d’une certaine manière (sacs, coffres, armoires, pièces et personnel dédiés…), et ce, pour gouverner, affirmer et défendre son pouvoir, construire une mémoire. Pour les familles, en particulier de haut rang, la réalisation d’inventaires n’est jamais innocente : divers contextes, modalités et enjeux ont entouré leur confection, et a fortiori leur révision - en parallèle à des reclassements – ou leur mise en collection au cours du temps ou avec d’autres types d’objets et d’inventaires signifiants pour la famille (meubles, objets précieux, bibliothèques…). L’expertise de ceux qui les ont dressés - visible dans la qualité des descriptions, les cotations et recotations successives - se met ainsi au service d’une famille, d’une politique, de droits, d’un patrimoine qu’il s’agit de faire fructifier, défendre ou quasi sacraliser par la mémoire, une certaine mémoire, des archives, condensée dans les inventaires.

Arabic Chancellery Documents through the Prism of Historicity
Writing, Vocabulary, Syntax, and Intertextuality from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Kātib (d. 750) to al-Qalqashandī (d. 1418)
This conference will address the evolution of chancellery styles, their regional diversity, and the history of the rhymed prose (sajʿ), this language of authority that was supposed to obey rules definitively fixed by the Prophet or the first secretaries of the Islamic Empire. What were the technical modalities for innovation? On what semantic, lexical, syntactical, and/or graphic levels did it manifest? Rather than on norms, codes, and rules, studies will focus on writing styles, orthographic variants, atypical handwriting, deletion, the transgression of norms, semantic revitalization, neologisms, and the variety of styles for citing the Quran or referencing ḥadīth. We are seeking to renew study of a corpus considered not as a fixed and ossified text, technical and off-putting, but as a living, evolving, and diverse ensemble.
