Abstract

The word of reformers in the Midi : the contribution of the southern French Bibles (Aquitaine, Languedoc, Provence, XIth-XIIth centuries). This paper looks at Biblical manuscripts understood as a manifestation of the word of God. It concentrates on some ten manuscripts created in scriptoria in the South between 1050 and 1150. The distinctive southern features are very real (such as the insertion in the Bible of extraneous texts, or the presentation of the Song of Songs as a dramatic dialogue). In conclusion, from a perspective that may be termed « evangelical », one can underline the importance ascribed to the « unadorned word » of the Bible.
