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.

Lectures et écritures féminines de la Bible en Europe (XIVe-XVIIe siècle)
Dans le cadre de l’axe de recherche « Profane et sacré dans la culture européenne des XIVe-XVIIe siècle » et plus précisément de la réflexion sur « Culture et bible », une journée d’étude est organisée au CESR sur la question du rapport des femmes à la bible en Europe entre le XIVe et le XVIIe siècle. La période est tout entière traversée, depuis la devotio moderna jusqu’aux Réformes, par des courants d’intense aspiration au renouveau spirituel et à la réforme de l’Église et de la société chrétienne. Dans ce contexte, la diffusion de la bible, de son texte et de ses contenus, soutenue par l’affirmation des langues vernaculaires puis par l’essor du livre imprimé, concerne un public de religieux et de laïcs qui va s’élargissant et se diversifiant.
