Abbatial Authority and the Writing of History in the Middle Ages
This book argues that abbatial authority was fundamental to monastic historical writing in the period c.500-1500. Writing history was a collaborative enterprise integral to the life and identity of medieval monastic communities, but it was not an activity for which time and resources were set aside routinely. Each act of historiographical production constituted an extraordinary event, one for which singular provision had to be made, workers and materials assigned, time carved out from the monastic routine, and licence granted. This allocation of human and material resources was the responsibility and prerogative of the monastic superior. Drawing on a wide and diverse range of primary evidenc...
Jews and Muslims Made Visible in Christian Iberia and Beyond, 14th to 18th Centuries
This volume aims to show through various case studies how the interrelations between Jews, Muslims and Christians in Iberia were negotiated in the field of images, objects and architecture during the Later Middle Ages and Early Modernity. . By looking at the ways pre-modern Iberians envisioned diversity, we can reconstruct several stories, frequently interwoven with devotional literature, poetry or Inquisitorial trials, and usually quite different from a binary story of simple opposition. The book’s point of departure narrates the relationship between images and conversions, analysing the mechanisms of hybridity, and proposing a new explanation for the representation of otherness as the complex outcome of a negotiation involving integration. Contributors are: Cristelle Baskins, Giuseppe Capriotti, Ivana Čapeta Rakić, Borja Franco Llopis, Francisco de Asís García García, Yonatan Glazer-Eytan, Nicola Jennings, Fernando Marías, Elena Paulino Montero, Maria Portmann, Juan Carlos Ruiz Souza, Amadeo Serra Desfilis, Maria Vittoria Spissu, Laura Stagno, Antonio Urquízar-Herrera.

Identidades cuestionadas
El concepte d'identitat és un dels més debatuts en les ciències socials. La coexistència de jueus, cristians i musulmans al Mediterrani, durant els períodes medieval i modern, és un perfecte marc geogràfic i cronològic per a qüestionar la utilitat d'aquest concepte. A través de les aportacions de diversos investigadors europeus, aquest volum planteja una polièdrica revisió del concepte a través de la història, història de l'art i de la literatura. Quin paper va tenir la religió i la política en la reafirmació de les diferents identitats dels pobles que van conviure entorn del Mediterrani? Quins mites han marcat l'estudi de l'alteritat religiosa? Quin paper va jugar l'art com a catalitzador i visualitzador d'aquests conflictes? Són algunes preguntes que estan a la gènesi del present llibre i que tracten de ser respostes.
Archiv für Diplomatik, Schriftgeschichte, Siegel- und Wappenkunde
Das Archiv für Diplomatik (AfD) bietet ein internationales Forum für Forschungen und Darstellungen zu den Historischen Grundwissenschaften und, von ihnen ausgehend, zu ihren Nachbardisziplinen vom Frühmittelalter bis zur Gegenwart. Das Schwergewicht der, falls erforderlich, mit Abbildungen und Graphiken reich ausgestatteten Aufsätze und Miszellen liegt auf den Gebieten des Urkunden-, Akten-, Amtsbuch- und Archivwesens und der Schriftgeschichte. Gleiche Aufmerksamkeit gilt Untersuchungen zum Siegel- und Wappenwesen sowie zur Genealogie.
Royal Divine Coronation Iconography in the Medieval Euro-Mediterranean Area
In the last decades, historians and art historians have created an active historiographical debate about one of the most fascinating and studied iconographic themes of the Middle Ages: the royal divine coronation. Indeed, in the specific case of some Ottonian and Salian illuminations, it has been proposed that their function was not only political or to legitimize power, as traditionally suggested (Herrscherbilder), but also liturgical and religious (Memorialbilder). This has led to a complete rethinking of the meaning of this iconographic theme: the divine coronation of the king would not symbolically allude to his earthly power but to the wholly devotional hope of receiving the crown of et...
