The region of Talmont-Saint-Hilaire (Vendée, France), located at the contact between the Armorican Massif, the Aquitanian Basin and the Atlantic Ocean, has been studied by many geologists and geographers, over the last three centuries. In the years 1780, silver was mined from the sulphide-bearing ore that occurs at the base of the Jurassic limestones. The stratigraphy of the latter sediments, as well as their relationship with the hercynian basement, was investigated during the 19th and 20th centuries, mainly by Rivière, the author of the first geological map of the area (1838), Cossmann, Vasseur, Péneau, Ters and Butel. As for Gabilly, he considered the anse Saint-Nicolas as a para-stratotype of the Toarcian. A few Authors, mainly Bocquier and Ters, also studied the evolution of the Atlantic coast during Quaternary. They evidenced remnants of several surfaces fashioned by marine abrasion, the age of which was constrained by archaeological studies. In 1963, Gilbert Bessonnat discovered dinosaur footprints, which, however, had already been observed by Bocquier in the years 1930. Montenat and Lapparent studied the occurrence, which proved to be one of the richest in Europe.
In the Talmondais (Vendée) the Hettangian sedimentation locally begins with fluviatil clastic deposits prior to the deposition of shallow marine carbonates. These clastics, including the footprint-bearing beds of Le Veillon (south of Talmont- Saint-Hilaire) are subject to important and frequent variations in thickness. Drilling and geophysic data indicate a tectonic control of these variations. A fault-block pattern is proposed. At a small scale, it gives an illustration of the extensional tectonic processes related to the evolution of the Biscay rift during the early Liassic.
The aim of this study is to look into the reasons for the institutional character assumed by the exchanges of prisoners from the early 9th until the end of the lOth century in the context of the Arab-Byzantine struggle in the Middle East. Over a period of 161 years, 20 official exchanges involving several hundrends of prisoners took place at the bed of the river Lamis near Tarse by the Cilician frontier. ...
Dans son sermon pour la fête de la Toussaint 1331, le pape Jean XXII affirme que les âmes des saints ne jouissaient pas de la vision béatifique de Dieu avant le jugement dernier. Sur l'origine de cette opinion, qui agita toute la chrétienté pendant plusieurs années, les explications les plus variées ont été avancées. Après leur revue critique, il est établi que la source de cette hypothèse est en fait saint Bernard, et à travers lui, Ambroise, Augustin et Grégoire. Voulant sauver la vision béatifique immédiate, le cardinal Jacques Fournier proposa une interprétation alternative très personnelle des sermons de saint Bernard.
