Another story: Jacques Le Goff, 1924-2014.

Summary "Jacques Le Goff (1924-2014) was one of the great historians of his time. He was the author of an immense body of work, devoted for the most part to the history of the Middle Ages, which he renewed in depth. This book explores his ambitions, objects and approaches. It brings together the contributions presented on the occasion of a day of homage organized in January 2015 by the École des hautes études en sciences sociales and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. For the many readers of Jacques Le Goff, but also for his colleagues and their students, it will allow them to situate his work in the intellectual and scientific "moment" of the years 1960-1990, to take the measure of his international influence, and to recall the presence of the public man: a man who was always concerned with making the results of research known to a wider public, passionate about the media, but also a citizen committed to freedoms and a passionate defender of Europe under construction."
