Histoire des ducs de Normandie, suivie de: Vie de Guillaume le Conquérant
Les fautes de typographie videntes (lettre manquante ou errone, permutation de deux lettres, espace manquante entre deux mots, virgule la place dun point en fin de phrase, point la place dune virgule dans une phrase, type retourn, erreur de pagination) dans l'ouvrage conserv la Bibliothque nationale de France ont t corriges. LES rudits ont amrement reproch Guillaume, moine de labbaye de Jumige, davoir reproduit dans les premiers livres de son Histoire des Normands, la plupart des fables dont son prdcesseur Dudon, doyen de Saint-Quentin, avait dj rempli la sienne. Si Guillaume net ainsi fait, cette portion de son ouvrage nexisterait pas, car il naurait rien eu y mettre; il a recueilli les traditions de son temps sur lorigine, les exploits, les aventures des anciens Normands et de leurs chefs; aucun peuple nen sait davantage, et na des historiens plus exacts sur le premier ge de sa vie. A voir la colre de dom Rivet et de ses doctes confrres, il semblerait que Dudon et Guillaume aient eu le choix de nous raconter des miracles ou des faits, une srie de victoires romanesques ou une suite dvnemens rguliers, et que leur prfrence pour la fable soit une insulte notre raison, comme si elle tait oblige dy [p.vj] croire. Il y a quereller de la sorte les vieux chroniqueurs une ridicule pdanterie; ils ont fait ce quils pouvaient faire; ils nous ont transmis ce quon disait, ce quon croyait autour deux: vaudrait-il mieux quils neussent point crit, quaucun souvenir des temps fabuleux ou hroques de la vie des nations ne ft parvenu jusqu nous, et que lhistoire net commenc quau moment o la socit aurait possd des rudits capables de la soumettre leur critique pour en assurer lexactitude? A mon avis, il y a souvent plus de vrits historiques recueillir dans ces rcits o se dploie limagination populaire que dans beaucoup de savantes dissertations. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
