Les Bourguignons et le Levant: actes du huitième colloque, 69e congrès, Dijon, Auxerre, 23-25 octobre 1998

This volume comprises the collected proceedings of the eighth colloquium held during the 69th congress of the Association bourguignonne des sociétés savantes, which took place in Dijon and Auxerre from October 23 to 25, 1998. The congress was dedicated to examining the historical, economic, and diplomatic relationships between the Duchy of Burgundy and the Levant, a region encompassing the eastern Mediterranean, during the medieval period. These academic gatherings were organized to foster regional historical research and to synthesize the scholarly findings of various learned societies active within the Burgundian territories.

The publication serves as a formal repository for the papers presented during the sessions, covering themes such as pilgrimage, trade routes, and the influence of Burgundian knights in Eastern crusader states. As an academic record produced by a regional historical association, the design is strictly functional and intended for archival research within university or institutional library collections. It reflects the standard practices of French regional historical publishing at the close of the twentieth century, focusing on scholarly accessibility rather than commercial presentation.
