Esclaves et franciscains. L’accès dans les ordres mendiants et l’affranchissement (Sicile, XVI-XVIIe siècle)
2018
L’affranchissement individuel au sein d’une société à esclaves ou esclavagiste informe sur des situations singulières ou exceptionnelles. Dans une perspective comparatiste, cet ouvrage examine les parcours originaux de ces affranchis entre le xive siècle et le début du xixe siècle, et dans un vaste espace méditerranéen et atlantique – entre la péninsule Ibérique médiévale, les Antilles et l’Europe moderne. Il retrace la vie et le destin de ces individus, majoritairement d’origine africaine, et pose des questions importantes. Quelles ont pu être les stratégies et l’agentivité développées par ces femmes et ces hommes pour gagner leur liberté ? Quel était ce rapport paradox…

Pueblo de santos y peregrinaciones en las diócesis de Autun y de Nevers: del tiempo de los mártires al tiempo de las reformas, IV - XVIII siglos
2006
Between the IVth and the XVIIIth century in Burgundy (Nevers to Vezelay area), the number of pilgrimage churches have increased with an important renewal rate. Indeed, the choice of saints, institutions, or objects of devotion depends on various references. Adapting the framework and updating hagiography to the evolution of piety are means of preservation against disinterest and decreased gains. What is miraculous or not is changing and depends on unstable religious and social settings, therefore it becomes necessary to consider both important and sustainable sites than short-lived ones and vain attempts to develop a pilgrimage site. By resorting as much as possible to the original document…
Dee, Sante, Madonne nella religiosità della Sardegna
2021
In Sardegna, il culto dei santi e della Madonna, costitutivo del più ampio panorama religioso italiano, è variamente declinato e stratificato presso le comunità isolane, a testimonianza di un elementare bisogno di protezione e di salute che si concretizza nell’intimo rapporto che i devoti intessono con i propri protettori. Tale relazione si esplica massimamente nel momento festivo, ambito nel quale confluiscono istanze eterogenee: quelle devozionali e penitenziali dei fedeli da una parte, quelle propriamente festive dello svago, del divertimento collettivo, della convivialità sociale dall’altra. Non mancano i casi in cui tali caratteri si interpolano, spesso oscurandosi, con gli aspetti tur…

2014
This volume gathers fourteen new essays devoted to Old English prose saints’ lives from the late Anglo-Saxon period. Moving from diverse methodological approaches and building on the most recent developments in primary and secondary scholarship, the contributions comprehensively consider the texts and contexts of the vernacular hagiographic output both by Ælfric, the major hagiographer of his day, and by anonymous authors.
