Authors: Terheggen-Lagro Suzanne W. J. , Haarman Eric G. , Rutjes Niels W. , van den Berg J. Merlijn , Schonenberg-Meinema Dieneke
Published: December 2022

Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare, potentially life-threatening chronic disease. Steroids are the cornerstone of treatment, even though toxicity and side-effects are very common. Recently, rituximab (RTX) has been suggested as a treatment option, although evidence for its efficacy and long-term safety is lacking. We describe the disease course of two pediatric patients with IPH that were treated with RTX for over 4 years. Demographics, treatments, and clinical variables such as growth, infections, imaging follow-up by CT, and data from pulmonary function tests were retrospectively described. These are the first two cases described with a long-term follow-up of pediatric IPH patients treated with RTX. RTX was well-tolerated and prevented outbreaks of bleeding. In addition, RTX had a robust steroid-sparing effect resulting in the improvement of growth, pulmonary function, and CT abnormalities.

Published: December 2022

The role of apomeiosis, parthenogenesis, and pseudogamy in the asexual reproduction of some plant groups has not been fully elucidated in relation to species diversification. Quantitative analyses of seed origin may help in gaining better understanding of intercytotypic interactions. Asexual reproduction associated with polyploidy and frequent hybridization plays a crucial role in the evolutionary history of the genus Crataegus in North America. In Europe, the genus represents a taxonomically complex and very difficult species group not often studied using a modern biosystematic approach. We investigated the reproduction pathways in mixed-cytotype populations of selected taxa of Crataegus in eastern Slovakia, Central Europe. The investigated accessions were characterized by seed production data and the ploidy level of mature plants as well as the embryo and endosperm tissues of their seeds determined via flow cytometry. Diploid and polyploid hawthorns reproduce successfully; they also produce high numbers of seeds. An exception is represented by an almost sterile triploid. Diploids reproduce sexually. Polyploids shift to asexual reproduction, but pseudogamy seems to be essential for regular seed development. In rare cases, fertilization of unreduced gametes occurs, which offers opportunity for the establishment of new polyploid cytotypes between diploid sexuals and polyploid asexuals. Opposite to sexual diploids, triploids are obligate, and tetraploids almost obligate apomicts. Apomixis is considered to help stabilize individual weakly differentiated polyploid microspecies. Pseudogamy is a common feature and usually leads to unbalanced maternal to paternal contribution in the endosperm of triploid accessions. Parental contribution to endosperm gene dosage is somehow relaxed in triploids. Our Crataegus plant system resembles reproduction in the diploids and polyploids of North American hawthorns. Our data provide support for the hypothesis that polyploidization, shifts in reproduction modes, and hybridization shape the genus diversity also in Central Europe.

Published: December 2022

Phytohormones play an essential role in enhancing plant tolerance by responding to abiotic stresses, such as nutrient deficiency, drought, high temperature, and light stress. Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid derivatives that occur naturally in plants and are defined as novel phytohormones that regulate plant metabolism, growth, and development. Strigolactone assists plants in the acquisition of defensive characteristics against drought stress by initiating physiological responses and mediating the interaction with soil microorganisms. Nutrient deficiency is an important abiotic stress factor, hence, plants perform many strategies to survive against nutrient deficiency, such as enhancing the efficiency of nutrient uptake and forming beneficial relationships with microorganisms. Strigolactone attracts various microorganisms and provides the roots with essential elements, including nitrogen and phosphorus. Among these advantageous microorganisms are arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF), which regulate plant metabolic activities through phosphorus providing in roots. Bacterial nodulations are also nitrogen-fixing microorganisms found in plant roots. This symbiotic relationship is maintained as the plant provides organic molecules, produced in the leaves, that the bacteria could otherwise not independently generate. Related stresses, such as light stress and high-temperature stress, could be affected directly or indirectly by strigolactone. However, the messengers of these processes are unknown. The most prominent connector messengers have been identified upon the discovery of SLs and the understanding of their hormonal effect. In addition to attracting microorganisms, these groups of phytohormones affect photosynthesis, bridge other phytohormones, induce metabolic compounds. In this article, we highlighted the brief information available on SLs as a phytohormone group regarding their common related effects. In addition, we reviewed the status and described the application of SLs and plant response to abiotic stresses. This allowed us to comprehend plants’ communication with the ecological microbiome as well as the strategies plants use to survive under various stresses. Furthermore, we identify and classify the SLs that play a role in stress resistance since many ecological microbiomes are unexplained.
Responses of Caribbean Mangroves to Quaternary Climatic, Eustatic, and Anthropogenic Drivers of Ecological Change: A Review
Authors: Rull Valentí
Published: December 2022

Mangroves are among the world’s most threatened ecosystems. Understanding how these ecosystems responded to past natural and anthropogenic drivers of ecological change is essential not only for understanding how extant mangroves have been shaped but also for informing their conservation. This paper reviews the available paleoecological evidence for Pleistocene and Holocene responses of Caribbean mangroves to climatic, eustatic, and anthropogenic drivers. The first records date from the Last Interglacial, when global average temperatures and sea levels were slightly higher than present and mangroves grew in locations and conditions similar to today. During the Last Glaciation, temperatures and sea levels were significantly lower, and Caribbean mangroves grew far from their present locations on presently submerged sites. The current mangrove configuration was progressively attained after Early Holocene warming and sea level rise in the absence of anthropogenic pressure. Human influence began to be important in the Mid-Late Holocene, especially during the Archaic and Ceramic cultural periods, when sea levels were close to their present position and climatic and human drivers were the most influential factors. During the last millennium, the most relevant drivers of ecological change have been the episodic droughts linked to the Little Ice Age and the historical developments of the last centuries.
Saponin Biosynthesis in Pulses
Authors: Yu Bianyun , Patterson Nii , Zaharia L. Irina
Published: December 2022

Pulses are a group of leguminous crops that are harvested solely for their dry seeds. As the demand for plant-based proteins grows, pulses are becoming important food crops worldwide. In addition to being a rich source of nutrients, pulses also contain saponins that are traditionally considered anti-nutrients, and impart bitterness and astringency. Saponins are plant secondary metabolites with great structural and functional diversity. Given their diverse functional properties and biological activities, both undesirable and beneficial, saponins have received growing attention. It can be expected that redirecting metabolic fluxes to control the saponin levels and produce desired saponins would be an effective approach to improve the nutritional and sensory quality of the pulses. However, little effort has been made toward understanding saponin biosynthesis in pulses, and, thus there exist sizable knowledge gaps regarding its pathway and regulatory network. In this paper, we summarize the research progress made on saponin biosynthesis in pulses. Additionally, phylogenetic relationships of putative biosynthetic enzymes among multiple pulse species provide a glimpse of the evolutionary routes and functional diversification of saponin biosynthetic enzymes. The review will help us to advance our understanding of saponin biosynthesis and aid in the development of molecular and biotechnological tools for the systematic optimization of metabolic fluxes, in order to produce the desired saponins in pulses.

Published: December 2022

The multi-parent-advanced-generation-intercross (MAGIC) population WM-800 was developed by intercrossing eight modern winter wheat cultivars to enhance the genetic diversity present in breeding populations. We cultivated WM-800 during two seasons in seven environments under two contrasting nitrogen fertilization treatments. WM-800 lines exhibited highly significant differences between treatments, as well as high heritabilities among the seven agronomic traits studied. The highest-yielding WM-line achieved an average yield increase of 4.40 dt/ha (5.2%) compared to the best founder cultivar Tobak. The subsequent genome-wide-association-study (GWAS), which was based on haplotypes, located QTL for seven agronomic traits including grain yield. In total, 40, 51, and 46 QTL were detected under low, high, and across nitrogen treatments, respectively. For example, the effect of QYLD_3A could be associated with the haplotype allele of cultivar Julius increasing yield by an average of 4.47 dt/ha (5.2%). A novel QTL on chromosome 2B exhibited pleiotropic effects, acting simultaneously on three-grain yield components (ears-per-square-meter, grains-per-ear, and thousand-grain-weight) and plant-height. These effects may be explained by a member of the nitrate-transporter-1 (NRT1)/peptide-family, TaNPF5.34, located 1.05 Mb apart. The WM-800 lines and favorable QTL haplotypes, associated with yield improvements, are currently implemented in wheat breeding programs to develop advanced nitrogen-use efficient wheat cultivars.
Shading Net and Partial Covering Plastic Film Do Not Affect Phenology, Photosynthetic Activity or Fruit Quality Traits of Kensington Pride Mango

Published: December 2022

Mango cultivation in a protected environment is becoming widespread in the Mediterranean basin where the species has to face unfavorable weather conditions which do not occur in its native cultivation areas. Besides open-air cultivation, greenhouses—and other protection systems such as shading nets and partial covering of plastic films—have been tested recently. In this study, we focused on assessing the effect of a shading net, and a partially covering plastic film, on the development of “Kensington Pride” mango fruit skin-color, its final quality, and the plants’ photosynthetic activity. A new method of measuring mango skin-color on different sides of the fruit is proposed. No difference was observed with regard to the observed parameters between the plants cultivated under the two different protection systems and those growing in the open air. It can, therefore, be stated that such cultivation techniques do not alter the development of the mango fruit and its appearance, nor the plant’s photosynthetic activity.

Published: December 2022

Soil erosion is among the biggest problems in the agricultural sector that can affect ecosystems and human societies. A field of 5° slope was selected to study the runoff, soil and nutrient loss as well as crop productivity in different treatments—conventional tillage (CT) vs. no-tillage (NT), plant vs. no plant cover, contour cultivation (CC) vs. perpendicular to the contour cultivation, (PC) under natural rainfall. The experiment was conducted in central Greece in two cultivation periods. In autumn, the field was cultivated with intercropping Triticosecale and Pisum sativum and in spring with sunflower. The total rainfall was 141.4 mm in the 1st year and 311 mm in the 2nd. We found that runoff in the treatment of no tillage with contour cultivation was 85% lower in both years compared to the no tillage-no plant control. Therefore, the contour cultivation-no tillage treatment had a positive effect by decreasing phosphorus and potassium loss from soil: indeed, there was a decrease in P and K by 55% and 62%, respectively, in the NT compared to the CC treatments. We conclude that the NT-CC treatment with plant cover was the most effective in reducing water runoff and soil nutrient loss and increasing yield.

Leaves of guava (Psidium guajava L.) have been used in Thai folk medicine without any supporting evidence as a traditional herbal remedy for hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is chronic hair loss caused by effects of androgens in those with a genetic predisposition, resulting in hair follicle miniaturization. Our objectives were to provide the mechanistic assessment of guava leaf extract on gene expressions related to the androgen pathway in well-known in vitro models, hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPC), and human prostate cancer cells (DU-145), and to determine its bioactive constituents and antioxidant activities. LC-MS analysis demonstrated that the main components of the ethanolic extract of guava leaves are phenolic substances, specifically catechin, gallic acid, and quercetin, which contribute to its scavenging and metal chelating abilities. The guava leaf extract substantially downregulated SRD5A1, SRD5A2, and SRD5A3 genes in the DU-145 model, suggesting that the extract could minimize hair loss by inhibiting the synthesis of a potent androgen (dihydrotestosterone). SRD5A suppression by gallic acid and quercetin was verified. Our study reveals new perspectives on guava leaf extract’s anti-androgen properties. This extract could be developed as alternative products or therapeutic adjuvants for the treatment of AGA and other androgen-related disorders.

Published: December 2022

Heat stress around flowering is harmful to maize growth and yield. Ear traits are closely related to yield; however, the effects of heat stress before and after flowering on ear development and yield traits remain unclear for different heat-tolerant cultivars. In this study, field experiments were conducted in 2020 and 2021, including (i) three sowing dates, (ii) three temperature regimes: control (CK), heated before silking (V9-R1, TBS) and heated after silking (R1-R1 + 15 d, TAS), and (iii) two hybrids (ZD958: heat-tolerant; DH605: heat-sensitive). The results showed that heating had negative effects on all surveyed ear and yield traits except for increased ear length under TBS. The negative effects were larger (i) for TAS than for TBS, (ii) for DH605 than for ZD958, and (iii) for kernel number per plant (KNP) than for kernel weight (KW). The decreased ear traits were a result of a decreased growth rate during rapid ear growth periods. Floret pollination failure and kernel abortion were the main reasons for the decrease in KNP, mainly depending on the daily maximum temperature during V15-R1 + 7 d. The strong linear relationships between ear and yield traits suggested that ear traits could be used as important indicators for breeding heat-resistant varieties in the future.
Research on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Economic Assessment of Biomass Gasification Power Generation Technology in China Based on LCA Method
Authors: Wang Yuan , Yang Youzhen
Published: December 2022

China is rich in biomass resources, taking straw as an example, the amount of straw in China is 735 million tons in 2021. However, at the level of resource use, biomass resources have the practical difficulties of being widely distributed and difficult to achieve large-scale application. By collecting large amounts of biomass and generating electricity using gasification technology, we can effectively increase the resource utilization of biomass and also improve China’s energy security. By using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach, this paper conducted a life cycle assessment with local biomass gasification power generation data in China and found that the LCA greenhouse gas emissions of biomass gasification power generation technology is 8.68 t CO2 e/104 kWh and the LCA cost is 674 USD/104 kWh. Biomass gasification power generation technology has a 14.7% reduction in whole life carbon emissions compared to coal power generation technology. This paper finds that gas-fired power generation processes result in the largest carbon emissions. In terms of economics, this paper finds that natural gas brings the most additional costs as an external heat source.

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has focused the attention of researchers, and especially public opinion, on the role of the human-animal-environment interface in disease emergence. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, media reports regarding the role of pets in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused significant concern and social anxiety. Although nowadays proven negligible in developed countries, essentially no studies have been performed in low-income African areas where companion animals are often raised differently from high income countries, and the contact patterns occurring in these scenarios could affect the epidemiological scenario. An extensive molecular biology survey was performed from March 2022 to September 2022 on Namibian dogs residing in urban and rural areas, showing a low but not negligible SARS-CoV-2 prevalence (1%; 95CI: 0.33–2.32%) of 5 out of 500. In only one instance (i.e., a 4-year-old female Labrador) was there a clear association that could be established between the infections of the owner and animal. In all other cases, no evidence of human infection could be obtained and no episodes of COVID-19 were reported by the owners. Although no consistent evidence of pet-to-pet transmission was proven in the present study, a cautionary principle suggests intensive and dedicated investigation into companion animal populations, especially when animal contact is frequent and a particularly susceptible population is present.
Groundwater Vulnerability Indicator Assessment of Karst Island Water Resources: Enhancement of the Freshwater Lens Assessment Protocol
Authors: DiFilippo Robert Michael , David Carlos Primo , Bosher Lee
Published: December 2022

Karst islands such as those found in the Philippine Archipelago present challenges for local stakeholders to manage their water resources sustainably. Anthropogenic climate change, an increasing population and changes in land use and industry have all combined to altering the water balance on these islands. The freshwater lens is susceptible to saltwater intrusion through human drivers (such as over-abstraction) and natural processes (including variable precipitation and storm surges). The dynamics of such freshwater lenses involve an interplay between physical, chemical and socio-economical processes; therefore, finding a solution necessitates an interdisciplinary approach and a range of data collection strategies. This approach was formalized in a Freshwater Lens Assessment Protocol (FLAP) and expanded through the application of a Vulnerability Indicator Assessment (VIA). The VIA provides an accessible framework for data integration and an improved knowledge base, from which it is possible to make better decisions and establish effective management programs to protect and maintain this vital resource. The FLAP approach and VIA analysis were developed and tested on Bantayan Island (Cebu Province) in the Philippines. The results of the analysis reveal areas of saltwater intrusion vulnerability located along coastal boundary margins, mapped structural discontinuities and zones of upconing due to over-pumping. We infer that the VIA forms an appropriate, cost-effective interdisciplinary tool that synthesizes data sets through hazard characterization, integrates stakeholder knowledge pertaining to water resource management and operational policy, assesses the risk and assigns a risk designation for groundwater vulnerability to saltwater intrusion.

Challenges and Mitigation Strategies for Transition from IPv4 Network to Virtualized Next-Generation IPv6 Network
Authors: Ashraf Zeeshan , Sohail Adnan , Latif Sohaib , Hameed Abdul , Yousaf Muhammad
Published: December 2022

The rapid proliferation of the Internet has exhausted Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses offered by Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA). The new version of the IP i.e. IPv6 was launched by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) with new features, such as a simpler packet header, larger address space, new anycast addressing type, integrated security, efficient segment routing, and better Quality of Services (QoS). Virtualized network architectures such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Network (SDN) have been introduced. These new paradigms have entirely changed the way of internetworking and provide a lot of benefits in multiple domains of applications that have used SDN and NFV. ISPs are trying to move from existing IPv4 physical networks to virtualized next-generation IPv6 networks gradually. The transition from physical IPv4 to software-based IPv6 is very slow due to the usage of IPv4 addresses by billions of devices around the globe. IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are different in format and behaviour. Therefore, direct communication between IPv4 and IPv6 is not possible. Both protocols will co-exist for a long time during transition despite the incompatibility issues. The core issues between IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are compatibility, interoperability, and security. The transition creates many challenges for ISPs during shifting the network toward a software-based IPv6 network. Packet traversing, routing scalability, the guarantee of performance, and security are the main challenges faced by ISPs. In this research, we focused on a qualitative and comprehensive survey. We summarize the challenges during the transition process, recommended appropriate solutions, and an in-depth analysis of their mitigations during moving towards the next-generation virtual IPv6 network
Pierre de Sampson et Bernard de Montmirat. Deux canonistes français du XIIIe siècle
Authors: Bertram Martin
Published: December 2022

Bertram (Martin), Pierre de Sampson and Bernard de Montmirat. Two french Kanonists of the XlIIth century.

Peter of Samson and his pupil Bernard de Montmirat (Abbas Antiquus) have left each a Lectura on the Decretals of Gregory IX and on the Novellae of Innocent IV. These canon law texts are transmitted in at least 76 manuscripts, listed and attribued to the two authors respec¬ tively in this paper. Bernard’s Lectura presents an uniform text confor¬ ming to the printed editions of Strasbourg (1510/1 1) and Venice (1588), whereas Peter’s writings, probably not having had a final redaction, appear very inconsistent in the manuscripts. However, the recent conjecture, that both sets of writings were identical with Peter alone as author, has to be discarded.

La législation synodale : le cas d'Albi aux XIIIe et XIVe siècles
Authors: Biget Jean-Louis
Published: December 2022

The synodic statutes arrived in Albi with the Capetians (1230). At this time, they consisted in relatively inorganized precepta. This first version was completed throughout the thirteenth century, without having constituted an elaborated synodal. The diocesan code came only to maturity in 1340. It was inspired by the one done for Rodez in 1289, and was complete enough to have been taking up again without any modification in the beginning of the XVIth century.

The thirty six miniatures of the Gratian Decree kept by the municipal library of Avignon (ms 659, Toulouse, XIVth century) give an exceptionnal role to the ecclesiastical judge, even compared with the standards set by the illustration of Toulousan manuscripts, which alrea¬ dy give him the lion’s share (I).

On the opposite, the supplicant, the petitioner and the opponent are representated in a modest position which does not square with their role in the text (II).

At last, even more oddly, the representative in justice dominates the audience with the judge. He develops vigorously a clever, even scholarly, address to the Court (III).

The prestige of this graduate in law and the place devoted to the written document (roll, book) are characteristic of the Southern French society.
Droit et pratique : notes sur les décisions de la Chapelle toulousaine
Authors: Gazzaniga Jean-Louis
Published: December 2022

Work unique of its own, the Decisiones Capellae Tholosanae are not a simple register of an officiality intended to preserve the records of the sentences given by a jurisdiction. They are the work of a magistrate who thought about the difficulties proper to his career and about the solutions convenient to settle them. They throw light on the complexity of the procedure and the variety of subjects for which the ordinary justice of the Church extended its competence at the end of the XIVth century.
La cathédrale de Toulouse et son environnement (XIIe-XIVe siècle )
Authors: Cazes Quitterie
Published: December 2022

The surrondings of the Toulouse cathedral were made up by the canonial district, throughout the Middle Ages. The church of St Jacques, the cloister, the common buildings of canons were the major monuments of the canonial district. If we ignore almost everything of it befo¬ re the middle of the Xlth century, we can see how it was progressively organized after 1073, when the strong bishop Isam reformed his chapter. A general plan was attributed with no doubt to him, for the construction of the cathedral, the cloister and the common buildings, which seemed to be completed by the middle of the Xllth century.
Une cathédrale à l’ombre de la Curie : Notre-Dame-des-Doms d’Avignon

Le pape en s’installant dans le palais épiscopal d’Avignon devient le proche voisin de la cathédrale Notre-Dame-des-Doms ; il laisse à plusieurs reprises vaquer l’évêché, soit durant près du tiers du XIVe siècle. Le chapitre est constitué par une trentaine de chanoines réguliers suivant la règle de saint Augustin, recrutés majoritairement dans les
Les bibliothèques médiévales des abbayes bénédictines du Languedoc et de la Provence. État de la question et perspectives de recherche

The Medieval Libraries of Benedictine Abbeys of Languedoc and Provence. State of the Question and Prospects for Research.

Even though they had suffered from being scattered about even before the Wars of Religion, the libraries of the Benedictine abbeys of Languedoc and Provence were very important. After a general account based on the study of existing documents (old inventories and extant manuscripts), two representative cases are analyzed.

The content and the organization of the library of Saint-Pons de Thomières, of which only 4 manuscripts have survived to the present, is known for the end of the 13th century thanks to an impressive catalog listing 450 volumes, classified by subject. This catalog testifies to the borrowing by the abbey’s Friars as well as by outside patrons. As early as the 11th century, when it was used as a relay for the reform policies of Gregory VII, the Saint Victor Abbey of Marseille collected an important library which totalled at the end of the 14th century 500 volumes, thanks to an active scriptorium linked to Italian and Catalonian centers and also to donations and legacies.
Les papes d’Avignon et leurs manuscrits

Les papes d’Avignon et leurs manuscrits.

Pendant tout le XIVe siècle (1305-1405) et le séjour de la papauté à Avignon, les neuf papes qui se succédèrent dans cette ville travaillèrent chacun à sa façon à la formation de la bibliothèque pontificale. Fabrication des manuscrits dans les ateliers du palais comme dans ceux d’artisans avignonnais ou de couvents, achats divers, cadeaux aux pontifes, arrivages provenant des dépouilles de prélats permirent le développement spectaculaire d’une collection partie de rien. Jean XXII en fut le premier promoteur, Clément VI et Grégoire XI prirent à cœur son enrichissement et son organisation, Benoît XIII enfin la plaça au premier rang des grandes bibliothèques de l’Occident chrétien, sans pouvoir en empêcher la dispersion totale après sa fuite d’Avignon et sa mort.
La bibliothèque du chapitre de la cathédrale Saint-Just de Narbonne
Authors: Courcelles Dominique de
Published: December 2022

La bibliothèque du chapitre de la cathédrale de Narbonne n’a fait l’objet d’aucune monographie, dans la mesure où les documents permettant habituellement de connaître le destin d’une collection de livres ont disparu. A la suite de l’article d’André Vemet qui a fait en 1981 le point des recherches concernant l’histoire de cette bibliothèque au Moyen Age, la présente étude examine si les manuscrits médiévaux conservés dans le Trésor de la cathédrale et seuls subsistant de l’ancienne bibliothèque capitulaire peuvent être identifiés dans tel ou tel inventaire ancien. La qualité des manuscrits prouve l’importance et le rôle historique de l’Eglise de Narbonne. La liturgie a favorisé la circulation des textes et des hommes dans les régions de Méditerranée occidentale.
La bibliothèque de Saint-Maximin en 1508
Authors: Montagnes Bernard
Published: December 2022

Chez les Prêcheurs de la France méridionale, on attachait un grand prix aux livres, mais de l’époque médiévale, il ne subsiste que l’inventaire de la bibliothèque du couvent de Saint-Maximin pour 1508. Il a été dressé par les maîtres-rationaux d’Aix, conservateurs et protecteurs du couvent. En 1508, les livres se répartissent entre une bibliothèque de travail et une bibliothèque d’apparat, organisées à l’ancienne ; placés sur des pupitres et enchaînés à une tringle, ils se distribuent selon un ordre rationnel. La collection comprend la plupart des livres bibliques, avec des instruments herméneutiques, puis des ouvrages de la patrologie (où domine saint Augustin), de la théologie des XIIe et XIIIe siècles (où l’emporte saint Thomas d’Aquin) et de philosophie (avec de nombreux écrits d’Aristote). Elle comporte aussi des livres de droit canonique, des sermonnaires et des ouvrages liés aux « arts ». Elle ne témoigne d’aucune spécialisation universitaire. Cette bibliothèque a été dispersée après 1508. On en a fait grief à Michaelis. Poutant ce dernier est aux antipodes de l’anti-intellectualisme, mais il faut tenir compte de la substitution progressive des imprimés aux manuscrits, devenus inutiles.
Les livres dans les dépouilles des prélats méridionaux
Authors: Jullien de Pommerol Marie-Henriette
Published: December 2022

Cette communication annonce la publication prochaine de la deuxième partie des Bibliothèques ecclésiastiques au temps de la papauté d’Avignon. Les archives du Vatican conservent de nombreux dossiers concernant la succession de prélats et autres ecclésiastiques, au XIVe siècle, dossiers constitués à propos de l’exercice du droit de dépouille. Moins du quart de ces cas contiennent des livres, que ce soit de simples mentions ou des énumérations dans des testaments ou des inventaires après décès. En Europe 58 % des cas avec des livres concernent la France, et 48 % la France du midi. Si de nombreux possesseurs avouent moins de dix volumes, quelques-uns dépassent le seuil de la centaine, comme Pierre de Pleine Chassaigne, évêque de Rodez, Amiel de Lautrec, évêque de Castres, Amanieu d’Armagnac, archevêque d’Auch, Barthélemy Gras, évêque de Fréjus, Guillaume de Veyrac, chanoine de Salisbury, Thibaud de Castillon, évêque de Lisbonne, Jean Poisson, évêque de Digne.
Jacques d’Armagnac, bibliophile et commanditaire. Essai sur l’aspect religieux et la part méridionale de sa bibliothèque
Authors: Mérindol Christian de
Published: December 2022

Le contenu de la bibliothèque de Jacques d’Armagnac s’avère sans grande originalité, mais l’illustration abondante de certains de ses manuscrits en fait des livres d’apparat exceptionnels. Deux enlumineurs retiennent particulièrement l’attention : Evrard d’Espinques, d’Ahun, et Maître François. Ils présentent des points communs (illustration précise, utilisation de certaines couleurs et de certains motifs avec une signification identique), mais le premier compose les miniatures de façon plus équilibrée et le second multiplie les subtilités et les commentaires picturaux du texte. En ce domaine, la culture personnelle du peintre joue son rôle, mais aussi - sans doute - l’intervention de conseillers lettrés et les exigences de Jacques d’Armagnac lui-même. La bibliothèque religieuse de ce dernier réunit une littérature de spiritualité, avec des écrits hagiographiques et moraux. S’y joignent des ouvrages à tendance historique, qui sont aussi des livres de morale. Dans ces traités figure la représentation du monde païen, avec celle de la réponse chrétienne au paganisme et à l’hérésie. On y trouve aussi l’écho de la menace turque et de prophéties circulant en Rouergue pour annoncer un roi de justice et de paix. C’est en ce dernier point seulement qu’apparaissent les influences méridionales dans la bibliothèque du duc de Nemours.
