Recenzii
"...There is much to praise about this book. It is the most comprehensive and subtle treatment of political intercession in the ninth and tenth centuries and should be read with care by all students and scholars of the Carolingian empire and its immediate successors. Gilsdorf has read widely in the extensive literature on diplomatics and royal ritual and his work builds on and adjusts the conclusions of Geoffrey Koziol, Gerd Althoff and others in this regard. Above all, Gilsdorf is to be applauded for covering so much ground (both historical and theoretical) so swiftly; this study says more in 172 pages of main text than many do in twice this space. [...] This is an example of charter scholarship at its finest, combining diplomatic precision and rigour with a strong sense of the broader socio-political significance of the practices examined. The Favor of Friends establishes Gilsdorf as one of the leading authorities on tenth-century Europe and should be read not only by fellow specialists, but also by students of kingship, charters and ritual throughout the Middle Ages [...] Like the work of Geoffrey Koziol and Hagen Keller at its best, Gilsdorf’s study serves as a salutary reminder of just how much royal diplomas and other documentary sources have to tell us, especially in quellenarmen Zeiten (‘times poor in sources’)." – Levi Roach, in: Reviews in History [DOI: 10.14296/RiH/2014/1631] (Date accessed: 1 August, 2014)
"Gilsdorf makes an important contribution in this volume not only by synthesizing the scholarship and analyzing the available source material for intercession under the Carolingian and Ottonian kings, but also through his depiction of the practice of politics among magnates, and between magnates and the ruler. Gilsdorf’s clear and detailed analysis of scores of letters and charters leaves no doubt that intercession lay at the center of aristocratic politics in the Carolingian and Ottonian kingdoms. In addition, Gilsdorf’s emphasis on the continuity of the practices of aristocratic intercession from the late Roman Empire through the end of the Ottonian period is yet further evidence for the formative role played by Rome in the shaping of medieval Europe." – David S. Bachrach, in: Speculum 90/4 (2015).
"Dans ce livre relativement bref, Sean Gilsdorf accomplit pourtant beaucoup. Il concentre son attention sur l’intercession, révélée principalement dans des lettres et diplômes, essentiellement sur l’Empire carolingien au IXe s et sur l’Allemagne ottonienne au et Xe s début du XIe s. Mais, certaines des contributions les plus importantes de The Favor of Friends sont dues à la volonté de l’a. de sortir de ces limites. [...] The Favor of Friends n’est donc pas le dernier mot sur la pratique de l’intercession à cette époque, mais il est de loin le meilleur rédigé jusqu’alors. Tout aussi important, la clarté des catégories analytiques de S. Gisldorf permettra à d’autres d’examiner plus facilement l’intercession occidentale, capétienne, italienne et même anglo-saxonne avec un vocabulaire concordant et un ensemble cohérent de modèles d’interprétation. Cela devrait permettre aux futurs érudits non seulement d’écrire des rapports plus pertinents sur l’intercession dans ces royaumes, mais aussi d’isoler les éléments vraiment distinctifs de la politique et de sa représentation au sein des royaumes". Geoffrey G. Koziol, in Cahiers de Civilisation-Medievale, 253, (2021).
