R\u00e9sum\u00e9 : Une part de la litt\u00e9rature scientifique sur la question de la magie naturelle et des plantes traite bien souvent des rituels magiques d\u2019inspiration antique. Une renaissance de ces pratiques en Angleterre na\u00eet aux alentours du XVIe si\u00e8cle, tant dans la production de secrets, de livres sur l\u2019occulte et de trait\u00e9s herm\u00e9tiques, que dans un certain renouvellement de la m\u00e9decine, chez Giambattista della Porta, ou chez Paracelse. Le r\u00e9cit le plus connu reste celui de la mandragore, tandis qu\u2019une part importante des autres rituels racinaires demeure peu \u00e9tudi\u00e9e. \u00c0 travers cette communication, je souhaite aborder une conception de l\u2019alt\u00e9rit\u00e9 par la r\u00e9ception de ces pratiques ritualis\u00e9es autour des racines dans les trait\u00e9s imprim\u00e9s et dans la m\u00e9decine domestique du XVIe si\u00e8cle, en particulier le lien t\u00e9nu entre l\u2019ambition de fabriquer un rem\u00e8de-homoncule, de respecter l\u2019influence des sph\u00e8res c\u00e9lestes et les analogies corporelles pr\u00eat\u00e9es aux racines. N\u2019est-elle, pour nombre de naturalistes, alchimistes et m\u00e9decins de l\u2019\u00e9poque, qu\u2019une bouche ou un estomac dans le ventre de la terre ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La communication sera ainsi d\u00e9coup\u00e9e en trois parties : I. La r\u00e9ception des pratiques magiques ritualis\u00e9es autour des racines dans les trait\u00e9s imprim\u00e9s du XVIe si\u00e8cle II. Fabriquer ou contrefaire l\u2019homonculus : la racine et les analogies au corps humain III. Autres rituels : l\u2019influence des sph\u00e8res c\u00e9lestes. Elle permettra de s\u2019int\u00e9grer dans l\u2019axe Croyances et miracles : place de la magie dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question – Quels sont les espaces destin\u00e9s \u00e0 la pratique ou \u00e0 la r\u00e9ception de la magie \u00e0 la Renaissance ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract: Much of the scientific literature on natural magic and plants often deals with magical rituals inspired by antiquity. A revival of these practices emerged in England around the 16th century, both in the production of secrets, books on the occult, and hermetic treatises, and in a certain renewal of medicine, as seen in the works of Giambattista della Porta and Paracelsus. The best-known account remains that of the mandrake, while a significant portion of other root rituals remain understudied. Through this presentation, I wish to explore a conception of otherness through the reception of these ritualized practices surrounding roots in printed treatises and in 16th-century domestic medicine, particularly the tenuous link between the ambition to create a homunculus-like remedy, to respect the influence of the celestial spheres, and the bodily analogies attributed to roots. For many naturalists, alchemists and doctors of the time, was it nothing more than a mouth or a stomach in the belly of the earth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The presentation will be divided into three parts: I. The reception of ritualized magical practices centered around roots in 16th-century printed treatises; II. Creating or counterfeiting the homunculus: the root and its analogies to the human body; III. Other rituals: the influence of the celestial spheres. This will allow us to integrate this presentation into the theme \u00ab\u00a0Beliefs and Miracles: The Place of Magic in Society\u00a0\u00bb and to answer the question: What spaces were dedicated to the practice or reception of magic during the Renaissance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Communication on magical rituals in medical botany in the 17th century, May 22 at the Center for Advanced Studies of the Renaissance: Lors des Rencontres Doctorales 2025 de l’ADCESR, j\u2019aurai le plaisir de pr\u00e9senter : \u00ab Le rapport \u00e0 l\u2019alt\u00e9rit\u00e9 dans les rituels magiques autour des rem\u00e8des-racines en Angleterre au XVIe si\u00e8cle \u00bb \u00ab\u00a0The relationship to otherness […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":784,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[24,25],"class_list":["post-770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-communications","tag-journee-detude","tag-seminaire"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6727-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=770"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1062,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/770\/revisions\/1062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.tassaneealleau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img_6225-1-724x1024.jpg\")
