25 p. ; Persecution is an illegitimate, cruel and persistent annoyance. But the notion of illegitimacy, cruelty and harassment is a subjective one and moreover it fluctuates according to historical periods. It is therefore uneasy to say whether or not a Roman Legislation was persecutory. In particular, can we say that the Roman Imperial Legislation on Jews was persecutory? To answer this question, we shall not evaluate these Laws with modern criteria but rather consider the point of view of the time. To do so, we will focuse on comments and criticisms, which the Legislator on the one hand, and the Jewish Roman citizens on the other addressed concerning these Laws. ; Le mot persécution désigne une poursuite injuste, cruelle et persistante. Mais les Anciens n'entendaient pas les mêmes réalités derrière les notions d'injustice et de cruauté, qu'ils comprenaient de manière plus restrictive que de nous Modernes. Dès lors, comment juger si une législation datant de l'époque romaine était persécutrice ? Peut-on, en particulier, qualifier la législation impériale visant les citoyens juifs de l'Empire de persécutrice ? Il s'agit, pour répondre à cette question, de nous abstenir de juger ces lois au prisme de nos critères actuels. La présente étude se concentre donc sur le discours et les critiques portées contre ces lois par les acteurs contemporains eux-mêmes, le pouvoir impérial d'une part, les citoyens juifs concernés d'autre part.

The word persecution refers to unfair, cruel and persistent prosecution. But the former did not hear the same realities behind the concepts of injustice and cruelty, which they understood more restrictively than those of us Modernes. Therefore, how can we judge whether legislation dating from Roman era was persecuting? In particular, can the imperial legislation targeting Jewish citizens of the Empire be described as persecuting? In order to answer this question, we must refrain from judging these laws in the light of our current criteria. This study therefore focuses on discourse and criticism of these laws by contemporary actors themselves, the imperial power on the one hand and the Jewish citizens concerned on the other. ; Persecution is an illegitimate, cruel and persistent annoyance.

International audience ; The sixth to eleventh centuries are a crucial formative period for Jewish communities in Byzantium and Latin Europe: this is also a period for which sources are scarce and about which historians have often had to speculate on the basis of scant evidence. The legal sources studied in this volume provide a relative wealth of textual material concerning Jews, and for certain areas and periods are the principal sources. While this makes them particularly valuable, it also makes their interpretation difficult, given the lack of corroborative sources.The scholars whose work has been brought together in this volume shed light on this key period of the history of Jews and of Jewish-Christian relations, focusing on key sources of the period: Byzantine imperial law, the canons of church councils, papal bulls, royal legislation from the Visigoths or Carolingians, inscriptions, and narrative sources in Hebrew, Greek and Latin. The picture that emerges from these studies is variegated. Some scholars, following Bernhard Blumenkranz, have depicted this period as one of relative tolerance towards Jews and Judaism; others have stressed the intolerance shown at key intervals by ecclesiastical authors, church councils and monarchs.Yet perhaps more than revealing general tendencies towards "tolerance" or "intolerance", these studies bring to light the ways in which law in medieval societies serves a variety of purposes: from providing a theologically-based rationale for social tolerance, to attempting to regulate and restrict inter-religious contact, to using anti-Jewish rhetoric to assert the authority or legitimacy of one party of the Christian elite over and against another. This volume makes an im- portant contribution not only to the history of medieval Jewish-Christian relations, but also to research on the uses and functions of law in medieval societies.
