“…Stanley's Bible historiale belonged to Jeanne de Navarre, Henry IV's second wife and Humfrey's stepmother, who was still alive in 1427; Jeanne's goods were confiscated in 1420, and while she regained them in 1422, Humfrey and others extorted her remaining wealth. 31 It is possible that Stanley came by the manuscript dishonestly before he gave it to Humfrey, a fact obscured by its inscription. 32 Although Humfrey received them as gifts, the manuscripts also circulated as ransoms and commodities.…”

At the close of a manuscript containing French translations of De regimine principum and De re militari, a note reads: 'Cest liure est A moy homfrey duc de gloucestre du don messieur Robert Roos chevalier mon cousin' [This book belongs to me, Humfrey Duke of Gloucester, a gift from Sir Robert Roos, knight my kinsman]. 1 The early fifteenth-century volume from France was one of Humfrey, duke of Gloucester's many books in French. Robert Roos, Duke Humfrey's former ward and older brother to poet Richard, served in various capacities as a soldier and ambassador in France during the Hundred Years War. 2 This closing annotation witnesses an exchange between two men bound by familial and martial ties; it says nothing about the text nor the context of the exchange. Instead, it stresses the French book's status as a gift from one Englishman to his former guardian.During the Hundred Years War, books like this manuscript circulated between England and the Continent, crossing the Channel through various means: Henry V, for example, took 110 books from libraries in the captured city of Meaux in 1422. 3 His brother John, Duke of Bedford purchased 843 volumes that previously formed Charles V and Charles VI's royal library in 1425. 4 Other individuals commissioned and gifted continental books, like John Talbot, who presented Margaret of Anjou with a miscellany of French texts in 1445, and English patrons who ordered books of hours from Northern France. 5 English men and women visiting and living on the Continent purchased items from local artisans. 6 Similarly, English books crossed the Channel in the other direction. Charles d'Orléans owned an English-made manuscript of John of

Entering history? Archaeologists as intellectualsà la recherche du temps perdu

Following some comments on the notion of ‘public’ intellectuals (can they be otherwise?), this brief paper focuses on the intellectual roles that could be played by archaeologists today. Exposure to the media, usually following some spectacular discovery, serves to confirm the romantico-empirical image of the discipline, but should also lead to an engagement with key public debates. Three such debates are indicated: the idea that ‘African man has yet to enter history’ as expressed by the former French president; the creation of a Maison de l'histoire de France under the tutelage of the Ministry of National Identity; and, across the Channel, the Localism Bill, which pushes decision making to an untenably low level while promoting a historically and archaeologically questionable view of local communities.

‘If not for you’. The nation state as an archaeological context

Rather than being bashed around in view of its contents, the nation state – or at least the ‘state’ part of this compound term – needs to be cherished for the context it provides. Without the state, instilling regulations, procedures and common purpose, archaeology will not really thrive. This is confirmed through an exemplary case study, namely the seemingly measured and consensual retrenchment of the state occurring in England over the past 25 years. A brief presentation of the structure of English archaeology serves to highlight the situation of each of its main sectors, commercial contractors, curators at local levels and national bodies. Recent changes at the last level, involving English Heritage Trust and Historic England, highlight the risks posed by state disengagement, by funding withdrawal and by the enforced commercialization of public services.
