  • Ce que révèle la Geniza du Caire

    Chris Wickham, Julien LoiseauARTICLEL' Histoire2026

    Par la loi du 20 novembre 2023, le législateur avait donné pour mission au Conseil supérieur de la magistrature (CSM) de rédiger une charte de déontologie dont la dernière version avait été rédigée en 2019. La Charte de déontologie des magistrats de l’ordre judiciaire a ainsi été publiée le 12 décembre 2025. Ce document illustre avec pragmatisme l’adaptation de la déontologie à la modernité et en actualise les principes à la lumière des questions…

  • The profits of pepper. Indian Ocean trade and the economy of Kerala, 800–1600

    Open AccessChris WickhamARTICLEThe Economic History Review2026

    This study analyses the records in the Cairo geniza , the distribution of Chinese ceramics, the reports of travellers (this is the best‐known, but least important, dataset), and the discussions of the Portuguese regarding how best to exploit pepper in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. This is then set against what evidence there is from Kerala itself. It emerges that, despite the importance of pepper to the trading systems of the med…

  • Il problema della giustizia criminale nel Regno Italico, 643-1250

    Open AccessChris WickhamARTICLEMélanges de l'École française de…2025

    Questo articolo tratta i cambiamenti nella giustizia penale in Italia dalla metà del VII secolo alla metà del XIII. Discute la difficoltà che abbiamo nel comprendere come la legislazione longobardo-carolingia potesse aver funzionato nei dettagli e sostiene che la giustizia era sempre in realtà locale. Dopo il X secolo, la giustizia era principalmente controllata dai signori, ma era ancora locale, fino a quando i comuni cittadini svilupparono le p…

  • Como funcionava a economia feudal? A lógica econômica das sociedades medievais

    Open AccessChris Wickham, Cinthia M M RochaARTICLEMarx e o Marxismo2024

    Este artigo tem como objetivo criar um modelo para a lógica econômica subjacente da economia feudal, que pode, então, ser contrastado com os modelos muito mais conhecidos da economia capitalista. Isso é feito desenvolvendo uma discussão sobre um padrão muito frequente em sociedades pré-industriais e feudais: economias locais ativas com trocas altamente desenvolvidas, que nunca, nem remotamente, se desenvolveram na direção do capitalismo. Argument…

  • La « révolution féodale » et l’émergence des Communes urbaines d’Italie

    Open AccessChris WickhamARTICLERevue historique2023

    La mutation féodale ( feudal revolution en anglais) et l’émergence des Communes urbaines d’Italie sont deux phénomènes majeurs du Moyen Âge central que les historiens étudient depuis au moins aussi longtemps que leur science est devenue l’affaire de professionnels. Cependant, pour centraux qu’ils soient, ils ne firent guère l’objet d’une étude conjointe ou d’un rapprochement conceptuel, malgré leur proximité temporelle et spatiale – le premier es…

  • How did the Feudal Economy Work? the Economic Logic of Medieval Societies

    Open AccessChris WickhamARTICLEPast & Present2021Citada por: 5

    This article aims to create a model for the underlying economic logic of the feudal economy, which can then be contrasted with the much better-known models for the capitalist economy. It does so by developing a discussion of a very frequent pattern in pre-industrial, feudal, societies: active local economies with highly developed exchange, which never, even remotely, developed in the direction of capitalism. It is argued here that this is because…

    Chris WickhamARTICLEJournal of the Economic and…2019

    Egyptian land tenure in the Fāṭimid period (969-1171) is often assumed to have been based on state ownership of agricultural land and tax-farming, as was in general the case in the Mamlūk period which followed it, and as many Islamic legal theorists rather schematically thought. This article aims to show that this was not the case; Arabic paper and parchment documents show that private landowning was normal in Egypt into the late eleventh century…

  • The Other Transition

    Chris WickhamCHAPTERLate Antiquity on the Eve of Islam2017

    Much Analysis of the Congeries of Changes that is Generally known as the "end of the ancient world in the west" — or some similar name — has been harmed by considerable lack of clarity as to what is actually meant by the phrase. The concept of the end of antiquity of course means different things to different sorts of historians, but many speak of it as if these different things all coexisted equally, intermingled in some giant classical bran-tub…

  • The Prospect of Global History

    James Belich, John Darwin et al.BOOKProspect of Global History2016Citada por: 29

    This volume is the first of a new series from the Oxford Centre for Global History. It seeks to apply global history rather than merely preach it, and suggests a number of ways in which this can be done. East Asian and Islamic perspectives are here taken as seriously as European ones. The volume insists on depth in historical analysis, or longue durée, and speaks to those interested in medieval and ancient history quite as much as modern history.…

  • The Langobards before the Frankish conquest

    Giorgio Ausenda, Paolo Delogu et al.

    The Langobards or Lombards were the last Germanic group to invade the Roman Mediterranean, crossing the Alps into Italy in 568-9. They were nonetheless one of the longest-lasting, for their state survived Charlemagne's conquest in 774, and was the core of the medieval kingdom of Italy. The incompleteness of their conquest of Italy was also one of the root causes of Italian division for over 1300 years after their arrival. But they present a chall…
