The good Saracen is at the heart of the medieval romance, presiding over it and to some extent explaining its very existence. This sparkling figure illuminates a medieval poetics of alterity and, at the same time, sense of tolerance. It intersects with the aesthetic, social, and theological aspects of the medieval imaginary.

Review - French Le bon Sarrasin est au coeur du roman medieval dont il preside et explique en partie la naissance. Gemme orientale rayonnant de mille feux, il eclaire la poetique de l'alterite et avec elle un Moyen Age de la tolerance. Deployant multiples facettes, le bon Sarrasin est a la fois ombre et chair, fer et parchemin, plume et epee, speculaire ou spectaculaire, merveille et banalite. C'est l'ennemi a convertir. C'est l'adversaire a respecter. C'est la femme musulmane a aimer. Il se place au carrefour des coordonnees esthetique, sociale et theologique de l'imaginaire medieval. Issu de la guerre des matieres narratives, hybride comme les premieres formes romanesques, il fait de la chevalerie, elle aussiagon, un langage qui peut reparer la fracture de Babel. Il incarne la morale universelle de l'homme, au-dela des religions, mais egalement le juste promis a la redemption, pilier de l'anthropologie paulinienne.
