The First Life of St Samson of Dol (Vita Prima Samsonis) is a key text for the study of early Welsh, Cornish, Breton and indeed west Frankish history. In the twentieth century it was the subject of unresolved scholarly controversy that tended to limit its usefulness. However, more recent research has firmly re-established its significance as a historical source. This volume presents the results of new, multi-disciplinary, assessment of the text and its context. What emerges from the studies collected here is a context of greater plausibility for the First Life of St Samson of Dol as an early and essentially historical text, potentially at the centre of early British Christianity and its influence on the Continent. The landscape of that Christianity is gradually emerging from the shadows and it is a landscape in which the career of St Samson, the first Insular peregrinus, is shown to be of considerable importance. Lynette Olson is an Honorary Associate of the Department of History, University of Sydney. Contributors: Caroline Brett, Karen Jankulak, Constant J. Mews, Lynette Olson, Joseph-Claude Poulin, Richard Sowerby, Ian N. Wood, Jonathan M. Wooding.

La grande Vie de saint Guénolé composée vers 870 par Gurdisten de Landévennec (BHL 8957-58) est à la fois prosimètre et opus geminum ; elle compte un nombre considérable de citations, imitations et échos d’une grande variété d’auteurs profanes et chrétiens, en prose et en vers. Un nouveau bilan de ce régime d’emprunts formels est établi et élargi ; l’influence de la langue biblique et les échos de la Règle bénédictine y apparaissent encore plus nettement que dans les récapitulations effectuées antérieurement. Ce nouvel état des lieux permet de mieux comprendre le processus d’élaboration de l’oeuvre (probablement en plusieurs étapes, ensuite amalgamées) et les intentions de l’auteur en tant qu’abbé. En effet, ce dernier vise avant tout un public monastique ; il entrecoupe son récit biographique d’hymnes et de méditations à l’allure de sermons qui pourraient avoir été composées et utilisées séparément. Cette enquête permet enfin de revisiter la question des rapports entre influences insulaires et influences continentales à Landévennec au troisième quart du IXe siècle ; les emprunts au monde romano-franc l’emportent de beaucoup sur le monde insulaire. L’influence d’auteurs carolingiens, comme Alcuin ou Smaragde de Saint-Mihiel, avait été sous-estimée jusqu’à présent. , Intertextuality in the longer Life of St. Winwaloeus of Landévennec. The Vita longior s. Winwaloei composed ca. 870 by Gurdisten of Landévennec (BHL 8957-58) is at the same time a prosimetrum and an opus geminum ; this opus is remarkable for its high frequency of quotations, imitations, and echoes borrowed from a variety of former authors, profane and christian, in prose and in verse. The inventory of those borrowings is revised and expanded, showing an influence of the biblical language and of the Benedictine Rule stronger than previously observed. This new status quaestionis opens perspectives on the process of elaboration of the vita – probably in several steps, finally amalgamated ; it also secures a better understanding of the intentions of the hagiographer, as the head of a monastic community. The intended audience is indeed essentially monastic ; the biography of Guénolé is interrupted several times by hymns and homilies that could have been composed and used separately. This research finally shows how insular and continental influences meet and mix at Landévennec (Finistère) in the third quarter of the IXth century : borrowings from the Franco-Roman world are much more intensive than the Insular ones. The influence of Carolingian authors, like Alcuin or Smaragdus of St. Mihiel, had been underestimated until now.

Dès sa fondation en 1991, la Fédération québécoise des professeures et professeurs d'université du Québec (FQPPU) a mis en place un comité permanent chargé d'étudier les conditions d'exercice de la profession chez les professeures. Une brève histoire de ce comité fait ressortir que sa priorité initiale fut l'étude des programmes d'accès à l'égalité; plus récemment, une analyse a été menée sur toutes les clauses relatives aux femmes dans les conventions collectives de tous les syndicats membres de la Fédération. , When founded in 1991, the Québec federation of university professors (FQPPU) created a standing committee mandated to study issues related to the status and working conditions of women faculty members. A brief overview of this committee's history shows that its top priority has been the issue of equal access. More recently, the committee analyzed the clauses referring to women in the collective agreements of all Federation union members.

The purpose of the article is to establish the list of chapter headings of an early recension, now lost, on the basis of the list at the beginning of the "early Vita" of St. Samson of Dol (BHL 7478-7479). It is still possible to reconstruct in part the contents of the Vita primigenia by identifying the passages of the text which do not feature in the reconstructed list as being interpolations. This distinction between two textual strata means that the controversial question of the dating of the work will have to be reexamined.

A 12th-century index (Paris, Bibl. Mazarine 1708, fol. 27) reveals the existence and arrangement of a factitious collection of Vitae containing a number of hagiographic quires copied separately in the 10th-11th centuries; in the 14th century or earlier this collection was dismembered and six of its parts were redistributed between two manuscripts (Mazarine 1708 and 1711). The criteria for recognizing such quires are discussed as well as the consequences of this editorial practice for the circulation of hagiographic works.

H-H n’est pas un cours en soi; c’est plutôt un instrument de formation à la recherche documentaire, à utiliser dans le cadre des cours de premier cycle universitaire en histoire, principalement en première année. Il s’appuie sur les ressources documentaires accessibles dans les quatre bibliothèques participantes, autant matériellement que virtuellement. Contrairement à beaucoup d’autres guides d’initiation à la recherche documentaire, H-H adopte une approche résolument disciplinaire; il est élaboré et maintenu par et pour des historiens.
