Un nouveau volume collectif consacré aux voyages au Moyen Âge, et plus précisément à la notion de routes et de cheminement, vient de paraître chez Brepols : Journeying along Medieval routes in Europe and the Middle East, dans la collection Medieval voyaging.Dirigé par Marianne O’Doherty, Alison L. Gascoigne et Leonie V. Hicks, il comprend 9 contributions, réparties en trois chapitres.L'argumentaire que l'on peut lire sur la page de l'éditeur est le suivant :A multi-disciplinary collection of important and innovative new research that enhances our understanding of the experience, conditions, conceptualisation, and impact of human movement in Western Europe and the Middle East between Late Antiquity and the thirteenth century.Focusing on routes and journeys throughout medieval Europe and the Middle East in the period between Late Antiquity and the thirteenth century, this multi-disciplinary book draws on travel narratives, chronicles, maps, charters, geographies, and material remains in order to shed new light on the experience of travelling in the Middle Ages.The contributions gathered here explore the experiences of travellers moving between Latin Europe and the Holy Land, between southern Italy and Sicily, and across Germany and England, from a range of disciplinary perspectives. In doing so, they offer unique insights into the experience, conditions, conceptualization, and impact of human movement in medieval Europe. Many essays place a strong emphasis on the methodological problems associated with the study of travel and its traces, and the collection is enhanced by the juxtaposition of scholarly work taking different approaches to this challenge. The papers included here engage in cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogue and are supported by a discursive, contextualizing introduction by the editors.&#160;Voici la table des matières :(Introduction) Medieval Routes : Journeys through Space and Scholarship — MARIANNE O’DOHERTY, ALISON L.
