Paperback. Condition: New. The question of the reality of Cathars and other heresies is debated in this provocative collection.Cathars have long been regarded as posing the most organised challenge to orthodox Catholicism in the medieval West, even as a "counter-Church" to orthodoxy in southern France and northern Italy. Their beliefs, understood to be inspired by Balkan dualism, are often seen as the most radical among medieval heresies. However, recent work has fiercely challenged this paradigm, arguing instead that "Catharism" is a construct, mis-named and mis-represented by generations of scholars, and its supposedly radical views were a fantastical projection of the fears of orthodox commentators. This volume brings together a wide range of views from some of the most distinguished internationalscholars in the field, in order to address the debate directly while also opening up new areas for research. Focussing on dualism and anti-materialist beliefs in southern France, Italy and the Balkans, it considers a number of crucial issues. These include: what constitutes popular belief; how (and to what extent) societies of the past were based on the persecution of dissidents; and whether heresy can be seen as an invention of orthodoxy. At the same time, the essays shed new light on some key aspects of the political, cultural, religious and economic relationships between the Balkans and more western regions of Europe in the Middle Ages.

Condition: NUOVO. Roma, Viella Ed. cm.14x21, pp.521, brossura, copertina figurata a colori con bandelle. Collana I Libri di Viella,23. Le dispute di natura giuridica nel medioevo costituiscono il tema affrontato Chris Wickham in questo suo nuovo libro che ha voluto proporre ai lettori in lingua italiana, prima ancora che in inglese. Scegliendo come campo di osservazione tre territori cittadini della Toscana nel XII secolo, Pisa, Lucca e Firenze, l'autore analizza il modo in cui le persone coinvolte in una causa affrontavano i tribunali e gli arbitrati, cosa si aspettavano, quali strategie impiegavano per cercare di uscirne vincitori. Nell'Italia centro-settentrionale del XII secolo le parti in conflitto avevano a disposizione una grande varietà di mezzi alternativi (faida, arbitrato, tribunale signorile, tribunale cittadino, curia papale, imperatore) con i quali raggiungere il proprio obiettivo. Potevano poi scegliere tra norme, argomentazioni, rituali del diritto longobardo, di quello feudale, romano, canonico, cittadino, o di consuetudini locali, ma anche mescolare tutto insieme, più o meno consapevolmente. Basandosi su una documentazione abbondante, come quella della Toscana del XII secolo, su una bibliografia aggiornatissima, e sui concetti elaborati dall'antropologia giuridica, Wickham presenta al lettore, in modo straordinariamente chiaro, le procedure che regolavano la vita quotidiana, sia nei tribunali sia nelle aspettative concrete delle persone, e il modo in cui potevano essere manipolate. Ne risulta una ricostruzione del funzionamento delle pratiche sociali che, nell'ultima parte del libro, è messa a confronto con situazioni e modelli europei ed extraeuropei.
