    LE PASSAGE DU CLIMONT © Editions Pierron, Sarreguemines, 1992 JEAN-YVES VINCENT LE PASSAGE DU CLIMONT EDITIONS PIERRON Toute ressemblance avec les personnages fictifs de ce récit ne serait que pure coïncidence. Il faut prendre à César tout ce qui ne lui appartient pas. Paul Eluard Carte des lieux concernés par le récit, établie par l'auteur. AVANT-PROPOS 1870 Après la triste, « éclatante » et éphémère victoire de Sarre- bruck (1), les troupes de L'empereur Napoléon III ont été balayées le quatre août lors du carnage de Wissembourg, où cinq mille fran- çais s'étaient retrouvés encerclés par trente-cinq mille prussiens. Une division du premier corps, placée sous les ordres du général A bel Douay, avait reçu l'ordre d'occuper et de défendre la petite ville-frontière située sur les bords de la Lauter. Le quatre août, un violent orage s'est abattu sur la région en début de matinée. L'attaque prussienne débute vers huit heures, et surprend les troupiers français, « occupés à laver leur linge, à net- toyer leurs fusils et à faire la soupe ». Complètement isolée à la suite d'une décision stratégique aberrante prise le 3 août par Mac- Mahon, la division Douay va devoir résister aux cinquième et sixième corps prussiens et au deuxième corps bavarois, arrivés par la forêt de Bien wald. Un engagement furieux a lieu dans le secteur de la gare, mais les renforts allemands, arrivés par la route de Bad- Bergzabern, ne cessent de déferler. L'artillerie prussienne hache impitoyablement les positions françaises, semant partout la mort, même chez les brancardiers et les infirmiers qui courent en tous sens au secours des blessés.

  • BYZANTINE CAMEOS and the AESTHETICS of the ICON By
    BYZANTINE CAMEOS AND THE AESTHETICS OF THE ICON by James A. Magruder, III A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2014 © 2014 James A. Magruder, III All rights reserved Abstract Byzantine icons have attracted artists and art historians to what they saw as the flat style of large painted panels. They tend to understand this flatness as a repudiation of the Classical priority to represent Nature and an affirmation of otherworldly spirituality. However, many extant sacred portraits from the Byzantine period were executed in relief in precious materials, such as gemstones, ivory or gold. Byzantine writers describe contemporary icons as lifelike, sometimes even coming to life with divine power. The question is what Byzantine Christians hoped to represent by crafting small icons in precious materials, specifically cameos. The dissertation catalogs and analyzes Byzantine cameos from the end of Iconoclasm (843) until the fall of Constantinople (1453). They have not received comprehensive treatment before, but since they represent saints in iconic poses, they provide a good corpus of icons comparable to icons in other media. Their durability and the difficulty of reworking them also makes them a particularly faithful record of Byzantine priorities regarding the icon as a genre. In addition, the dissertation surveys theological texts that comment on or illustrate stone to understand what role the materiality of Byzantine cameos played in choosing stone relief for icons. Finally, it examines Byzantine epigrams written about or for icons to define the terms that shaped icon production.

Henri Pourrat RÉSUMÉ DES DEUX VOLUMES PRÉCÉDENTS Le Passage du Climont (première époque) Manfred Wilderhof (deuxième époque) La première époque du Passage du Climont, qui débute en 1870 et prend fin au mois de janvier 1886, retrace le début de l'histoire du Reichsland, c'est-à-dire celle des territoires occupés après la défaite française de 1870. L'Alsace et une partie de la Lorraine ont été placées sous la tutelle de l'Empire allemand en mai 1871, lors de la signature du traité de Francfort. Espions, fonctionnaires et militaires allemands traversent le Rhin en grand nombre, afin de prendre en main les "nouveaux terri- toires". Dans le Val de Villé et celui de Sainte-Marie, la résistance à l'occupant s'organise comme partout ailleurs au cours des premières années, le but essentiel étant de sauvegarder par tous les moyens l'identité alsacienne. En réaction, un certain nombre d'hommes ou de femmes connaîtront très tôt la traque, la spoliation, voire l'exil.

  • Manolis G. Varvounis * – Nikos Rodosthenous Religious
    Manolis G. Varvounis – Nikos Rodosthenous Religious Traditions of Mount Athos on Miraculous Icons of Panagia (The Mother of God) At the monasteries and hermitages of Mount Athos, many miraculous icons are kept and exhibited, which are honored accordingly by the monks and are offered for worship to the numerous pilgrims of the holy relics of Mount Athos.1 The pil- grims are informed about the monastic traditions of Mount Athos regarding these icons, their origin, and their miraculous action, during their visit to the monasteries and then they transfer them to the world so that they are disseminated systemati- cally and they can become common knowledge of all believers.2 In this way, the traditions regarding the miraculous icons of Mount Athos become wide-spread and are considered an essential part of religious traditions not only of the Greek people but also for other Orthodox people.3 Introduction Subsequently, we will examine certain aspects of these traditions, based on the literature, notably the recent work on the miraculous icons in the monasteries of Mount Athos, where, except for the archaeological and the historical data of these specific icons, also information on the wonders, their origin and their supernatural action over the centuries is captured.4 These are information that inspired the peo- ple accordingly and are the basis for the formation of respective traditions and re- ligious customs that define the Greek folk religiosity. Many of these traditions relate to the way each icon ended up in the monastery where is kept today. According to the archetypal core of these traditions, the icon was thrown into the sea at the time of iconoclasm from a region of Asia Minor or the Near East, in order to be saved from destruction, and miraculously arrived at the monastery.

However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE PALYMPSEST The narative I am about to launch, could, certainly, be also about one miraculous icon of the Theotokos (the Mother of God). It is called Hodegetria (“One who Shows the Way”) – a name that prevailed, as a legend says, after the Holy Theotokos appeared to two blind people, took them to her miraculous icon in the Church of St. Mary of Blachernae and, when they had prayed before it, they had their sight restored. It was believed that the icon had been painted by St. Luke the Evangelist himself and was preserved carefully, with unsuspected love and uncoined enthusiasm for centuries in the Byzantine capital. This icon is at the heart of all the narratives of Constantinople: both the preservation of the city and its desecration, it served as a palladium against enemies and a cover for the defenders of the city.
