Roman wood sculptures from Burgundy

2013

For the first time, the corpus of Roman wood sculptures from Burgundy is gathered together in a catalogue, with added photographic documents and bibliography. The twenty-five sculptures are listed and studied from a stylistic, iconographic and technical point of view. In the XIIth century, an actual school of monastic wood sculpture seemed to develop within the boundaries of the duchy of Burgundy, bringing a great diversity as far as formal and technical contributions are concerned. The sculptures that are the most representative to help the understanding of those numerous contributions are thoroughly studied. Their stylistic relationships with manuscripts dating back from the Carolingian R…

Occurrence of CTX-M Producing Escherichia coli in Soils, Cattle, and Farm Environment in France (Burgundy Region).

2012

Article en open access; International audience; CTX-M [a major type of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBU] producing Escherichia coli are increasingly involved in human infections worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate potential reservoirs for such strains: soils, cattle, and farm environment. The prevalence of bla(CTX-M) genes was determined directly from soil DNA extracts obtained from 120 sites in Burgundy (France) using real-time PCR. bla(CTX-M) targets were found in 20% of the DNA extracts tested. Samples of cattle feces (n = 271) were collected from 182 farms in Burgundy. Thirteen ESBL-producing isolates were obtained from 12 farms and further characterized for the pr…

Pratiques et évolution de la vinification dans un cellier bourguignon à la fin du Moyen Âge : le cas de la collégiale Notre-Dame de Beaune (fin XIVe-…

2014

The accounts of the cellar of the collegiate church of Notre-Dame of Beaune are almost continuously preserved from the end of the 14th century to the French Revolution of 1789. Until the year 1507 the canons themselves exploited a part of their domain, located mainly in the territory of the city of Beaune. This enables us to describe precisely the current practices of this cellar, and thus the winemaking process of the " vin de Beaune " at the end of the Middle Ages. This article explores the different techniques in use, in both their materiality and in their specificities. We also try to point out the evolution of the practices from ca. 1380 to 1500, respecting the point of view of the med…

Le “plaisir sucré” de la duchesse : un point sur la production du « galant de Madame » à la fin du Moyen Âge. https://preo.u-bourgogne.fr/crescentis/…

2021

Among the range of products elaborated in the Dukes of Burgundy vineyards at the end of the Middle Ages, the galant is first quoted in 1383. This paper strives to shed new light upon the sources in which the galant appears, i.e. the accountability documentation of the Dukes’ vineyards. Our research focuses on two demesnes located near Dijon: Talant and Chenôve.The study of this rare product (2-4% of total production), which was certainly flavored with gentian, shows that the notion of fortified wine should be reconsidered for the 14th and 15th centuries. The galant was obtained only by heating white grape must in a cauldron, searching to reach a diminution of one- or two-thirds of the basic…

Implantations, activités et relations des établissements d'assistance en Bourgogne à la fin du Moyen Age

2012

The study presented here is the conclusion of an inventory about hospitals having existed on the territory of some dioceses (Autun, Auxerre, Chalon-sur-Saône, Nevers and the south of that of Langres diocese) between XIIth and XVth centuries. Based on the data collected, an atlas of assistance and a directory of sources on medieval hospitals of the study area has been made. The compiled informations proved to be very different but also very heterogeneous. Nevertheless, reflexions were conducted about the characteristics of these hospitals and their relationships with their economic, religious, political and social environments. It revolves around three parts dealing by turns the influence of…

Water status modelling : impact of local rainfall variability in Burgundy (France)

2016

6 pages; International audience; Water status is a key factor in vine development and berry ripening. Water status is strongly affected byenvironmental parameters such as soil and climate. Whereas at local scale the soil variability is frequentlyaccounted for, little scientific reports are available concerning the impact of local rainfall variability ongrapevine water status. In order to accurately register the space and time variations of rainfall at local scale, adense rain-gauges network has been installed in Burgundy. It is composed of 45 rain-gauges over a 28 km² area.Rainfall data collected by each rain-gauge in 2014 and 2015 was used as input variables in the grapevine waterbalance m…

Digital socialization in a Territorial Intelligence case: The Fontaine d'Ouche area in Dijon (Burgundy, France).

2013

How to mobilize citizens around eco-responsible conducts? With the "Transition Towns MOVIDA" project (http://programme-movida.fr), we wish to identify levers related to a most sustainable consumption, in reference to the Transition initiated by Rob Hopkins. The present proposal consider all possible "socio-technical communicational" devices that can support the socio-ecological transition in a local area such as Fontaine d'Ouche in Dijon: reflexivity spaces (fear and hopes, actions and attitude) in a dialogical base for decisionmaking (at individual and collective level). What kind of ICT devices should allows inhabitants of the Fontaine D'ouche area to be more resilient? In this case, how …
