Böcker av Henri Pirenne

"Ce petit livre contient la substance de leçons faites dans diverses Universités des États-Unis d'Amérique. (...) On ne trouvera rien ici d'un manuel didactique. Je me suis simplement proposé de consacrer un essai de synthèse à l'un des sujets les plus intéressants de l'histoire sociale de l'Europe. J'espère que l'on m'excusera de n'avoir pu résister à la tentation de décrire, après de longues années de recherches spéciales, les grands mouvements de l'évolution urbaine depuis la fin de l'Antiquité jusque vers le milieu du XIIe siècle" - H. PirenneConsidéré comme l'inspirateur de l'école historique française dite École des Annales, Henri Pirenne (1862-1935) était un médiéviste belge dont la contribution à l'histoire médiévale reste essentielle.Le texte qui figure dans cette édition est suivi par un article intitulé "Villes, marchés et marchands au moyen âge", publié dans la Revue Historique en 1898.

L'ouvrage qui suit est l'une des oeuvres majeures de l'historien belge Henri Pirenne qui examine ici l'histoire de l'Europe depuis les invasions barbares jusqu'au XVIe siècle. Plusieurs thèmes y sont abordés, tels que l'effondrement de l'Empire romain et les invasions barbares, le rôle de l'Église ou bien encore l'émergence du système féodal et plus tard des États-Nations. Il s'agit ici d'une analyse approfondie de l'histoire de l'Europe médiévale et de sa transition vers l'époque moderne, analyse dont la force est de mettre en évidence les interactions complexes entre les forces politiques, économiques, sociales et culturelles qui ont façonné le continent européen.

l'Empire de Charlemagne est le point d'aboutissement de la rupture par l'Islam de l'équilibre européen Dans cet ouvrage, l'historien belge Henri Pirenne, défend la thèse selon laquelle les invasions germaniques n'ont pas mis fin à l'unité méditerranéenne ni à la culture antique, tandis que l'invasion de l'Islam, avec laquelle seule commence le Moyen Âge, a consommé le divorce entre l'Orient et l'Occident, repoussé l'axe de la vie occidentale vers le nord, suscité l'Empire carolingien, imprimé à l'Europe une physionomie nouvelle.L'ouvrage est divisé en deux parties : l'Europe occidentale avant l'Islam, l'Islam et les Carolingiens. La première est destinée à mettre en évidence que les invasions germaniques ont laissé intacte la Romania dont le sol a bu la vie barbare . Sur le plan institutionnel Ostrogoths, Wisigoths, Vandales, Burgondes gouvernent à la romaine; ... tout ce qui vit et fonctionne est romain . De même, le régime des personnes et des biens demeure ce qu'il était. Plus encore que l'état social, la vie économique reste inchangée. En revanche, avec l'invasion de l'Islam, tout s'effondre.Le format et la mise en page de cette édition assurent une lecture confortable.

... La rupture de la tradition antique a eu pour instrument l'avance rapide et imprévue de l'Islam. Elle a eu pour conséquence de séparer définitivement l'Orient de l'Occident, en mettant fin à l'unité méditerranéenne. Des pays comme l'Afrique et l'Espagne, qui avaient continué à participer à la communauté occidentale, gravitent désormais dans l'orbite de Bagdad. C'est une autre religion, une autre culture dans tous les domaines, qui y apparaît. La Méditerranée occidentale, devenue un lac musulman, cesse d'être la voie des échanges et des idées qu'elle n'avait cessé d'être jusqu'alors.L'Occident est embouteillé et forcé de vivre sur lui-même, en vase clos. Pour la première fois depuis toujours, l'axe de la vie historique est repoussé de la Méditerranée vers le nord. La décadence, où tombe à la suite de cela le royaume mérovingien, fait apparaître une nouvelle dynastie, originaire des régions germaniques du Nord, la Carolingienne...

Ce petit livre contient la substance de leçons faites dans diverses Universités des États-Unis d'Amérique. Le texte anglais en a été publié en 1925 sous le titre : Medieval Cities. Their origins and the revival of trade (Princeton, University Press). Quelques personnes ayant exprimé le désir d'en voir paraître une édition d'un prix plus approprié à l'état actuel des changes, je me suis décidé à en donner le texte français. Il ne comporte d'autres changements que de légères retouches à l'annotation.

Presents the history of Europe in the Middle Ages. This book begins with the Barbarian and Musulman invasions in the fifth century AD, which signalled the end of the Roman world in the West, and ends in the middle of the sixteenth century with the Renaissance and the Reformation.

Nearly a century after it was first published in 1925, Medieval Cities remains one of the most provocative works of medieval history ever written. Here, Henri Pirenne argues that it was not the invasion of the Germanic tribes that destroyed the civilization of antiquity, but rather the closing of Mediterranean trade by Arab conquest in the seventh century. The consequent interruption of long-distance commerce accelerated the decline of the ancient cities of Europe. Pirenne challenges conventional wisdom by attributing the origins of medieval cities to the revival of trade, tracing their growth from the tenth century to the twelfth. He also describes the important role the middle class played in the development of the modern economic system and modern culture.Featuring a new introduction by Michael McCormick, this Princeton Classics edition of Medieval Cities is essential reading for all students of medieval European history.
