Abstract

This session examines documents 'on the typological edge': charters containing narrative elements, chronicles filled with diplomatic texts, etc. It is not a question of studying elements of story included in a diplomatic text: we want to study the basic process of insertion, the use of diplomatic texts in works with a 'narrative' aim. The session seeks to understand the purpose and application of elements of diplomatic which were endowed from their creation with a narrative function.
