Roger Collins deals here with the history of Spain, specifically Christian Spain, in the period from the 6th to the 10th century - from the Visigoths, through the time of the Arab conquests, up to the end of the era of Carolingian dominance across the Pyrenees. Particular emphasis, indeed, is placed upon the importance of this Pyrenean region, in the lands now known as France as well as those in Spain, with the author also calling into question the received notion of an Aquitanian identity in the 5th-9th centuries. Of the themes running through this volume, that of regionalism is most evident here and in the articles on the Basques, but appears equally, for instance, in the study on the relations between Merida and the Visigothic government. Similarly, legal and cultural themes provide the focus for the articles on the workings of Visigothic law in the 9th-10th centuries, or on the intellectual culture of Navarre, but recur in other parts of the collection. Two of these articles appear for the first time in English, while a third has been re-written for this volume and others supplied with additional notes or illustrations. Roger Collins traite ici de lhistoire dEspagne et, plus particulirement, de celle de lEspagne chrtienne entre le 6e et le 10e sicle: des Visigoths jusqu la fin de lhgmonie carolingienne au nord du pays, en passant par les conqutes arabes. Limportance de la rgion pyrnenne, recouvrant des terres qui font de nos jours partie de la France ainsi que de lEspagne, est souligne par lauteur, qui remet par ailleurs en question lide reue didentit aquitaine qui prvalait entre le 5e et le 9e sicle. Certains thmes lgaux et culturels forment la base darticles sur le fonctionnement du droit visigoth aux 9e et 10e sicles, ou encore sur la culture intellectuelle de la Navarre et ressurgissent dautres endroits de la collection. Le rgionalisme reste cependant le plus prdominant
