今年的论文涵盖了广泛的主题和广泛的地理分布,研究重点是英国、法国、埃及和中国等。他们采用了一系列历史、考古和数字人文学科的方法,其中许多人都有一个共同的目标,即根据新技术重新评估旧的正统观念。我们从中国开始,在那里,董和程研究了宋朝(960-1279)宗教与科学之间的关系。他们的研究重新审视了理学和中国科学成就在这一时期的影响,并加入了最近的努力,以打破长期以来儒家文化阻碍科学的观点。他们对宋代学者撰写的科技著作的分析表明,宋代有相当多的科学著作(339篇),包括地理、医学、农学、天文学和数学方面的著作。然后,他们对现存的新儒家文本语料库进行了大规模的分析,这些文本列在《宋元学安》(宋元学术记录)中,其中包括193位作者的文本。他们的研究结果表明,新儒家精神与当地科学成果之间存在着强烈的正相关关系,他们认为,在特定地区,孔子学院的密度放大了这一现象。董和程的结论是,宋代理学思想的具体形式不仅没有阻碍科学发现,反而对这一时期的重大科学发展起到了积极作用。从中国,我们转移到法国,在那里的三篇论文着眼于10世纪和11世纪世俗和教会主权的各个方面。Barzilay通过法国犹太人的观点和经历,探索了11世纪法国地方领主兴起的充分研究现象,以及随之而来的“上帝的和平”运动。这篇文章主要集中在“1007匿名者”的叙述上,它描述了当时在法国对犹太人的迫害以及他们随后受到教皇的保护。据记载,这至少在一定程度上要归功于一位强大的犹太领主雅各布·耶库蒂尔(Jacob b. Yekutiel)的行动,他前往罗马请求教皇的保护。Barzilay的分析考察了文本中存在的两分法以及当时的社会条件,这意味着犹太人在理论上被排除在统治地位之外,除非他们皈依基督教,然而在实践中,像雅各这样强大的犹太人可以并且确实占据了领主的地位。这篇文章表明,尽管如果犹太人破坏了“上帝的和平”,他们可能会受到最严厉的对待,但一些犹太人很清楚与领主有关的语言、仪式和习俗,并能够利用这些来为自己的利益服务,并保持权力地位。加里普扎诺夫关注的是十世纪莱昂主教区的教会主权。本文通过检查出现在Laon biblioth<e:1> Municipale, MS 424的空白区域的边缘“迷你文本”来做到这一点。手稿本身是一本医学小册子,编纂于9世纪。然而,它也有五个由同一匿名抄写员所做的边缘补充,他似乎是一名神职人员和会计,为拉昂主教服务。Garipzanov认为,这位“Laon的会计”一定带着这份医学手稿(从大教堂图书馆借来的),当他前往Laon的偏远庄园时,他使用空白的地方记下关键会计信息的片段,以便在他返回时复制到官方记录中。这五项新增内容的多样性揭示了会计职责的范围,以及大量有关主教辖区及其所统治的社区的社会和经济生活的信息。多彩风格的条目包括个人农场欠和支付给主教辖区的现金和实物付款的详细信息,以及这些农场是否处于自由状态。人们的名单告诉我们地方议会的使用,以及税收的征收。大量的货物,特别是葡萄酒,使加里普扎诺夫认为,一定有重要的当地组织将当地教堂的实物支付运输到拉昂市,以及在城市内重新分配货物的“会计”的一些责任委托。一个重要的观察是,在十世纪的老挝,从实物支付到更常规的现金支付系统的明显转变。虽然Garipzanov对文本的分析很有见地,但包含完整的转录和条目翻译对于超出文章本身探索范围的未来研究特别有用。 莱昂也是范德普顿文章的重点,这篇文章探讨了《致罗伯特国王的诗》(Carmen ad Robertum regem)——一封莱昂主教阿达伯洛在1023年至1031年之间写给法国国王罗伯特二世的信。Vanderputten认为,阿达伯洛的信不应该仅仅被看作是一位保守派作家对“克吕尼改革的进步威胁”的抱怨,而是“10世纪末和11世纪初法国主教和修道院团体之间关系转变的见证”(第164页)。在文本中,阿达伯罗结合了常见的比喻,精心设计了一个固定的遭遇,与一个僧侣出身的士兵,从与克吕尼的奥迪洛修道院住了一晚回来。阿达伯罗被这位修道士对他的上级缺乏尊重所冒犯,但最主要的是他对神圣律法的拒绝,因为他的穿着非常不合适,从他的“用利比亚熊皮做的大兜帽”到挂在腰带上的弓和剑(第166页)。因此,这首诗是对奥迪洛的明确批评,他不关心维护与世俗世界的道德和行为界限。然而,Vanderputten认为这不仅仅是对Odilo的简单批评,并将这首诗与早期的文本进行了比较,包括弗勒里的《Epistola XIV》,以表明阿达伯罗的最终目的是对过于强大的修道院院长进行更广泛的批评,比如圣凡纳的理查德和沃尔皮亚诺的威廉,他认为他们挑战了主教的传统角色,并与君主建立了直接联系。因此,阿达伯洛认为,修道院的过度扩张是一种更为普遍的状况,已经感染了一系列机构。范德普顿的结论是,这封信因此是阿达伯洛呼吁他的主教们重申他们对虚伪的修道院领导人的权威,并纠正他们对社会秩序造成的破坏。Hamerow等人、Haworth和Clarke-Neish的论文采用不同的方法来研究六、七世纪英国妇女的地位。Hamerow等人使用来自墓葬的证据来调查英国“皈依时期”(大约七世纪)女性的流动性。书面证据(如比德的《教会史》)表明,女性通常是家庭中最先皈依基督教的成员,她们与超自然现象有着特殊的联系,这种联系被用来使家庭对土地和资源的要求合法化。虽然我们只有少数王室女性的书面证据,但从一些装饰特别华丽的女性墓葬中发现的证据表明,这种特殊角色并不局限于王室女性。Hamerow等人使用同位素分析来验证这一现象与女性异族通婚有关的假设,异族通婚是敌对家族之间的“和平承诺”。同位素分析的重点是81个埋葬,包括男性和女性,并在样本和更大的元数据集中比较了他们的起源区域。讨论提出了几个潜在的重要发现,包括在公元630-800年期间,非本地墓葬显著增加,这表明流动性和可能的异族通婚确实增加了,但实际上男性比女性更有可能来自非本地地区。他们还发现,当地女性的埋葬方式更有可能表明她们的地位较高,其中一组非当地女性可能来自“大西洋边缘”(英格兰西南部、爱尔兰和威尔士沿海地区),而这组女性的地位较低。因此,这些发现表明,除了皇室女性之外,皈依时期享有奢华安葬的知名女性往往来自当地。霍沃斯和克拉克-尼什在六、七世纪更广泛的硬币经济背景下,重新审视了中世纪早期的硬币挂件——由金币制成的首饰。这些硬币坠子几乎完全由女性佩戴,是我们了解中世纪早期使用硬币的经济中女性参与情况的重要信息来源。虽然钱币学和考古学学者倾向于区分改良币和非改良币,它们的重要性主要源于其珍贵的材料,但霍沃斯和克拉克-尼什认为,硬币首饰的佩戴者认为这些物品很重要,因为硬币具有声望。该研究表明,硬币坠子主要用于将硬币作为货币使用的地区,因此,在熟悉硬币的社区中,女性一定会佩戴未经修改的硬币。 虽然黄金在精英圈子中相对容易获得,但佩戴改良硬币表明佩戴者有能力接触到铸造形式的黄金,并参与到多货币经济中以硬币为基础的元素。如果想要制作出一种不同类型的金器,就需要一些技巧来制作圆环或吊坠框架,但硬币的原始形态却被有意识地保留了下来。霍沃斯和克拉克-尼什解释说,这反映了一种有意保留硬币作为展示对象的决定,而不是技术上的妥协。此外,一些硬币坠子随后被有意地从底座
