L'association APICES (Association paléographique internationale, Culture, Écriture, Société) et l'Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (IRHT, CNRS) organisent sept sessions de paléographie au prochain International Medieval Congress de Leeds en juillet 2012.[Annonce avec résumés en espagnol sur le blog Conscriptio de Néstor Vigil Montes]L'écriture médiévale faisant partie du processus de communication interpersonnelle devait nécessairement suivre des règles assurant la lisibilité et la compréhension des textes, qu’elles s’appliquent à la morphologie des lettres, à l’usage des abréviations, ou encore à l’articulation et à la hiérarchisation des différentes écritures pour pages-tapis, titres et inter-titres. Les différents niveaux de formalité, d'habileté, de rapidité d'exécution ou de « canonisation » des écritures pouvaient mener à jouer selon/avec les règles, à les enfreindre ou à écrire dans contextes apparemment dénués de règles. Les écritures individuelles semblent ainsi dénuées de règle, et l’on pourrait s’attendre à ce que des types d’écritures nouvelles — que l’on nomme avec le vocabulaire du mélange : hybrides, bâtardes, mixtes — le soit aussi dans une réalité historique complexe. Les stylisations inventent, à leur tour, des règles qui s’avèrent historiquement stériles.Les sept sessions proposées examineront la valeur heuristique des « règles » pour la recherche paléographique, en se consacrant aussi bien à l’écriture latine qu’aux paléographies grecque et syriaque, aux écritures magiques et à l’épigraphie. Elles aborderont également quelle signification la régularité et la mesure recèlent pour une analyse des écritures statistique et assistée par ordinateur. Ce faisant, elles questionneront également les règles inhérentes aux pratiques de l’écrit : les rapports entre politique, institutionnalisation, religion, langues et écriture.Elles rassembleront des chercheurs confirmés, mais aussi la jeune génération des paléographes venus de toute l’Europe, et permettront des échanges bénéfiques à la communauté paléographique.Elles se donnent également pour objectif de répondre au manque de visibilité dont souffre l’histoire de l’écriture auprès des communautés d’historiens. Les manifestations proprement paléographiques donnent peu l’occasion aux historiens des autres spécialités de prendre conscience de la vivacité de nos recherches et de leurs implications sur la compréhension de tous les phénomènes historiques (échanges culturels, sociabilités et réseaux, vie intellectuelle et littéraire).“Ruling” the script I: Playing with the ruleSponsor : APICES (Association paléographique internationale, Culture, Écriture, Société) / Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS)Medieval writing, as part of the interpersonal communication process, had to follow rules that ensure the legibility and convey the meaning of a text. Latin or vernacular, spoken or read, charter on parchment, painting, or stained-glass: different functions, social contexts, publics lead to variations in the use of scripts during the Middle Age. This session explore the representational modes of the text as an image and the concept of ‘liberty’ for scripts in regard to the staging of spoken or vernacular texts in epigraphy (latin/vernacular) and to the degree of stability and variation in vernacular scripts.Moderator/Chair: Georg VogelerPaper A: Writings on the Wall: The Discriminating Use of Scripts in Late Medieval Mural PaintingsChristian Nikolaus Opitz (Universität Wien)Paper B: Between tradition and liberty: writing rules of vernacular inscriptions (France, 12th c.)Estelle Ingrand-Varenne (Centre d'Etudes Supérieures de Civilisation Médiévale, Poitiers)Paper C: Rule and Variation in English Vernacular MinusculePeter Stokes (Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London)&#160;“Ruling” the script II: "Sola gratia, sola fide, sola scriptura" ?Sponsor: APICES (Association paléographique internationale, Culture, Écriture, Société) / Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS)Medieval writing, as part of the interpersonal communication process, had to follow rules that ensure the legibility and convey the meaning of a text. What happen when the text only fulfills a religious or a political function and when the form and representation are more important than the written word? If the sign in itself matters, which variation and which liberty can be taken with formal rules? This session explores the representational modes of sacred signs (D. Gregorio), letters on sacred artefacts (M. Bauch) and sacred letters and alphabet shapes in the Western Roman and Byzantine Empires.Moderator/Chair: Dominique StutzmannPaper A: Et hec scripsi manu mea propria – Known and Unknown autographs of Emperor Charles IV as testimony of self image and intellectual profileMartin Bauch (Technische Universität Darmstadt)Paper B: Magic alphabets: normalisation and variationsDaniel Grégorio (Université de Valenciennes et du Hainaut-Cambrésis)Paper C: Writing as an icon.

The digital humanities in palaeography give birth to a renewed quantitative approach, either as computer-aided palaeography or as digital palaeography with automated image-analysis softwares. This session explores what can be measured (angles, inclination, collective scribal profiles and allographs) and how this new data can be analysed (databases, factorial analysis, cross-validation). The results give new insights on the dynamic of script evolution, and how it relates to the social contexts of written production.Moderator/Chair: Peter Stokes (Department of Digital Humanities King's College London)Paper A: Writing Angles.

The paper of Ayda Kaplan studies the aesthetics and writing traditions of composition of the page as whole in Syrian manuscripts. Floris Bernard discusses the general rules and individual habits how the Byzantine scribes organized paratext and text. Emilie Cotterau asks whether you can extract rules of the social relationships between copist and principal from a corpus of colofons.Moderator/Chair: Dominique Stutzmann (Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes, Paris)Paper A: Dynamics of composition in Syrian manuscriptsAyda Kaplan (Centre international Jacques de Saroug, Bruxelles)Paper B: Texts and paratexts in Byzantine manuscripts: visual rules and scribal habitsBernard Floris (University of Ghent)Paper C: Writing, copists, patrons: relations and their consequences on the manuscript layoutEmilie Cottereau (Université Paris 1 – Panthéon Sorbonne)&#160;“Ruling” the script V: Ruling with scriptSponsor: APICES (Association paléographique internationale, Culture, Écriture, Société) / Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS)Literacy as a political mean influenced not only the political style but the actual mode of writing too. Néstor Vigil Montes gives an example of the correspondences between the type of script and the social and political situation in which the scribe worked. Tobias Hodel analyses palaeographically the copies of the charters the nuns of Königsfeld received by their founder queen Agnes of Hungary to show how these documents got symbolic value. Michael Georges studies the rules for the actual writing down the texts in a book of religious administration.Moderator/Chair: Dominique StutzmannPaper A: Causes and rules for the variations of gothic scripts in the writing office of the chapter of Oviedo during the 15th centuryNéstor Vigil Montes (University of Oviedo)Paper B: Constructing self image of Königsfeld abbey by writingTobias Hodel (Universität Zürich)Paper C: Officium capituli and Liber capituli: Lack and existence of rules in monastic and canonical context at the end of the middle agesMichael George (Université Nancy)&#160;“Ruling” the script VI: Hebrew ScriptsModerator/Chair   Eva FrojmovicPaper A: 13th-Century Castilian in Hebrew Script: What Is the Rule?Javier del Barco (Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid)Paper B: Masters of Micrography in 13th-Century AshkenazRahel Fronda (Bodleian Library, University of Oxford / School of Fine Art, History of Art &#38; Cultural Studies, University of Leeds)Paper C: Hebrew _Riesenbibeln_ and the Kalonymos Family of ScribesAnnette Weber (Hochschule für Jüdische Studien, Heidelberg)&#160;Rules of Documentary LiteracySponsor: APICES (Association paléographique internationale, Culture, Écriture, Société) / Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS) / GDR Diplomatique (CNRS)The session is interested in enhancing our knowledge of the role of writing in local and regional administration. Andrea Puglia studies the relations between the formal structures of written artefacts and forms of the power and the imposition of the authority in society of the bishops of Pisa, Volterra and Lucca from 1050 to 1150. Els de Paermentier’s will deal with the unwritten agreements and measures within the chancery by which the clerks established a ‘chancery’ identity and the impact of establishing a written rule. Véronique Julerot dedicates her paper to the obviously unwritten rules to be extracted from the testimonies in the case against the election of Gérard Gobaille to the bishop of Sens (1492).
