About This Item

Turnhout Brepols 2009. Paperback, 704 p., 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503530994. Que peut-on vraiment lire dans les recits medievaux relatant les emanations et les perceptions des 'odeurs de saintete'? Cette expression elle-meme fut-elle jamais pleinement signifiante, non pas sublimee en une metaphore toute spirituelle, mais au contraire bien charnelle, et donc partie integrante d'une culture' Prenant pour point de depart les recits d'exhalaisons extraordinaires, cet ouvrage s'attache a reconstruire l'importance et la signification qu'ont pu revetir odeurs et odorat en Europe occidentale, dans la culture et la pensee religieuses, voire meme dans l'experience des hommes et des femmes du haut Moyen Age, periode formatrice s'il en fut. S'appuyant sur un depouillement systematique des recits hagiographiques, Martin Roch revalorise ces sources, souvent decriees, tout en les confrontant meticuleusement aux textes bibliques et patristiques, aux documents liturgiques, et meme aux donnees archeologiques disponibles. En deplacant le point de vue de l'odeur miraculeuse a sa perception et aux recits qui en sont faits, l'auteur se tient fermement sur le terrain de l'histoire, de ses sources et de ses methodes, sans se priver pour autant de dialoguer avec les autres sciences humaines, ou encore la medecine, ou la psychologie. Il demontre ainsi que, par dela les formules litteraires, les approches superficiellement rationalistes ou les effets de mode, les odeurs extraordinaires peuvent etre reconnues comme un authentique objet d'histoire. Ce faisant, il parvient a mettre en evidence une realite autrement plus riche et complexe que ce que l'on pouvait soupconner. Languages: French.
