Philosophus satagit, ut mens respondeat ori: John of

▼ John of Salisbury (c. 1115/1120-1180) is known for his
treatises in which he conveyed his ideas about education, society,
virtue, and several other topics to his twelfth-century
contemporaries of the schools and the courts. In his Metalogicon,
John specifically articulates his pedagogical views and proposes
his recommended methods for teaching and learning. It has been
argued that despite these strong suggestions, John himself did not
put his teaching into practice. In this thesis, I seek to challenge
that claim and to establish John as a true philosopher by own his
own definition—one who lives in accordance with his teaching. It
examines John’s survey of ancient philosophers in his poem the
Entheticus de dogmate philosophorum, or the Entheticus maior, and
from this study, I argue that John does in fact put his teaching
into practice, as he applies to this segment of the poem his
proposed methods of learning, skepticism, and moderation, all
guided by his concern with virtue and ethical living, and
ultimately, by his Christian faith.

▼ Current museum exhibitions seem to be increasingly affected by the influence of mass media and their representation of the past. In particular as regards the
Middle Ages, visitors approach exhibitions dedicated to the medieval period with some stereotypes and misconceptions coming from a distorted presentation of the so called ‘Dark Age’ in popular culture. The influence of some post-modern concepts has a key role in offering a distorted representation of the past. By providing a theoretical background through which to highlight some of the main problems deriving from post-modern theories, the following research aims to explore their consequences on current museum exhibitions on the
Middle Ages. In particular, the risk to fall into the trap of ‘Disneyfication’ represents one of the main concerns museums have to deal with. Hence, various research methods tries to investigate the possible increase of this tendency and its relation with misconceptions coming from popular culture and affecting the audience.

Medieval Authorship at Reason's End: The Roman de la Rose's Legacy of Misrule.

▼ This dissertation examines the authorial consequences of reason’s banishment. It addresses how medieval poets imagine their occupation when the faculty of mean, mediation, and measure is rendered suspect in relation to literary composition and reception. I argue that Guillaume de Lorris’s and Jean de Meun’s Roman de la Rose initiates a literary tradition that understands reason to be in tension with and even antithetical to imaginative writing. The abandonment of rationality proffers the terms and concepts around which authors understand, structure, and represent their occupation. This largely unrecognized tradition of authorial misrule goes on to serve as a speculative domain for later
Middle English authors. Poets such as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, John Lydgate, and Thomas Hoccleve imitate, correct, and reimagine the narrative conditions and implications of Raison’s repudiation. These authors gain from the Rose’s irrationality a hermeneutic—a method of perception that goes on to shape representation—a topic—a collection of material and terms from which to draw both for literary theory and for literary practice—and a condition for writing—an anti-intellectual source that initiates invention. A writerly art based in misrule, rather than emerging as a broken creative system, ultimately enables medieval writers to recognize, accept, document, and value the morally questionable, the ephemeral, the earthly. Redefined as poetic virtue—as imaginatively productive and artistically challenging—misrule produces authors who see their work as a consequence and simulation of the transient, often rapturous pleasures of a mundane irrationality.

▼ Batı Roma İmparatorluğu`nun yıkılışından sonra Avrupa`da ortaya çıkan en güçlü halk Franklardır. Başlangıçta dağınık halde yaşayan Franklar, Clovis liderliğinde tek çatı altında toplanmışlar ve güçlü bir devlet kurmuşlardır. Orta Çağ Avrupa`sına her anlamda etki eden Frankların kralı Clovis, topraklarını genişletmiş, Hristiyanlık`ı kabul etmiş ve papalıkla iyi ilişkiler kurmuştur. Pek çok bilim insanına göre faaliyetlerinin en önemlilerinden biri de, atalarından gelen sözlü yasaların yazıya geçirilmesini emretmesidir. Tarihi ve kimler tarafından yazıya geçirildiği kesin olarak bilinmeyen Pactus Legis Salicae adındaki bu yasa derlemesi, daha sonra pek çok ekleme ve çıkarmalarla güncellenmekle birlikte, özelde Frankların genelde Erken Orta Çağ Cermen halklarının VI. yüzyıldaki hayatına ışık tutmaktadır. Verdiği maddeler sayesinde hırsızlıklar, adam kaçırma ve yaralamalar, cinayetler, kölelerin durumu, hayvanlara verilen önem gibi pek çok konuda bilgi edinmek mümkündür. Erken Orta Çağ gibi yazılı belgenin son derece az olduğu bir dönemle ilgili olması önemini daha da artırmakta, Avrupa yazılı hukukunun temelini oluşturmaktadır.
The most powerful people that emerged in Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire were the Franks. Initially living in a dispersed manner, the Franks gathered as a single community under the leadership of Clovis and founded a powerful state. Clovis, the king of the Franks, who influenced Medieval Europe in every sense, expanded his territory, accepted Christianity and established good relations with the pope. One of the most important of his activities, according to many scientists, is that he ordered oral laws from their ancestors to be put in writing. This law collection called Pactus Legis Salicae, of which history and by whom it was written is unknown, had been updated with many additions and omissions, but in particular, it sheds light on the Franks particularly and the Early Medieval Teuton people in the 6th century. The articles of this collection allow for having information about many matters such as theft, kidnapping and wounding, murders, the status of slaves and the importance given to animals. The fact that it is related to a period like the Early
Middle Ages in which there are very few written documents increases its importance, and the collection itself forms the basis of European written law.

▼ Although later medieval St. Albans Abbey has long been renowned as a preeminent center for the writing of historical chronicles,
previous studies have not acknowledged that the monastic community also had a sustained tradition of visually representing the house’s
institutional history. This dissertation demonstrates that between the late eleventh and early sixteenth centuries, the monks of St. Albans
depicted and evoked their abbey’s past in a large and diverse collection of artworks, ranging from illuminated manuscripts and pilgrim badges
to monumental paintings and architecture. Monastic historical imagery was rarely produced during the Middle Ages, but the images and objects
from St. Albans present a remarkably rich and complete account of the abbey’s history from the time of its illustrious origins through the
eve of its dissolution. Using an interdisciplinary approach to contextualize these artworks within the monastery’s history and traditions,
this study argues that the visual historiography of St. Albans served as a potent vehicle for the expression and self-fashioning of the
abbey’s corporate identity and historical memory. As will be demonstrated, this vast corpus of imagery focuses on three fundamental elements
of the monastery’s past: Saint Alban and his early cult, the eighth-century foundation of the monastery by King Offa of Mercia, and the
house’s post-foundation history. Through these artworks, many of which have not previously received the attention of art historians, the
monks of St. Albans documented, celebrated, and occasionally manipulated their abbey’s long and distinguished history, thereby providing a
compelling justification for its continued prosperity and prestige.

▼ This thesis addresses whether or not, according to theologians, virgins could maintain their virginity even after instances of physical loss, such as rape. I will use post-structuralism as the method. This thesis will use a socio-cultural analysis by viewing virginity's relationship with the norms of society. It will examine virginity and its place within texts and the Christian tradition. Most importantly, it will view how virginity has changed over time, and from one thinker to the next in response to the tension between the body and spirit. Beginning with Augustine, and into the medieval era, there are theological ideas that allow for virginity to remain even after physical losses like rape. This was not true for most thinkers before Augustine. Physical virginity was rendered absolute in order to claim virginity. The goal is to assess raped virginity's place within medieval society. Virginity offered an escape to women who did not wish to marry and bear children, and also offered the highest honor of heavenly reward alongside martyrdom. However, maintaining physical virginity could not always be guaranteed. Rape was a threat to many Holy Virgins in medieval Europe, especially in times of violence. This paper will assess how women of the convents were able to maintain their virginity even when threatened with violation. The change in the theology of virginity provided a way for these virgins to challenge rape. Spiritual virginity, which was in constant tension with bodily virginity, was an idea developed in response to rape, allowing a woman's access to virginity regardless of physical intactness.

▼ Contemporary pilgrimage activities associated with the Volto Santo may be traced to the origins of the cult, which, as I argue in this dissertation, was established in the late
eleventh century. I propose this new date of the cult's establishment, as well as its development and promotion in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, based on research in the areas of
Lucca's political, religious, and economic histories, as well as other Lucchese relic cults, the hagiographic and iconographic traditions associated with the Volto Santo, other competing
relic cults in Tuscany, and the impact of Lucca's textile industry. This dissertation provides the first substantial contribution to the art historical contextualization of Il Volto Santo
during the latter Middle Ages by investigating the intricate relationships between the religious, political, and economic affairs involving the Volto Santo during the late eleventh through
thirteenth centuries. In addition, it complements the growing scholarship dedicated to pilgrimage studies associated with the Via Francigena.

▼ In this dissertation I provide a detailed analysis of the role played by the Tachikawa-ryu in the development of Japanese esoteric Buddhist doctrine during the medieval period (900-1200). In doing so, I seek to challenge currently held, inaccurate views of the role played by this tradition in the history of Japanese esoteric Buddhism and Japanese religion more generally. The Tachikawa-ryu, which has yet to receive sustained attention in English-language scholarship, began in the twelfth century and later came to be denounced as heretical by mainstream Buddhist institutions. The project will be divided into four sections: three of these will each focus on a different chronological stage in the development of the Tachikawa-ryu, while the introduction will address the portrayal of this tradition in twentieth-century scholarship.

▼ Walter de Gray became archbishop of York in 1215 while attending the Fourth Lateran Council in Rome. King John of England recommended Walter for the role, and the new archbishop ruled for the next four decades with the skills of a well-connected royal administrator and a commitment to reforming his churches according to the principles advanced by the general council. Over the next four decades the archbishop reorganized and revitalized a province that had lost much of its stature through neglect and mismanagement by his predecessor. Architectural patronage played a central role in Gray's reform program, and it created four well-known Gothic edifices at the metropolitan church of York and at its dependent satellites, or minsters, Beverley, Ripon, and Southwell. Each construction project was supported by an indulgence from the archbishop and happened alongside important constitutional changes at each church. York Cathedral received a new transept as Gray campaigned for the canonization of a former archbishop and restructured the chapter and its offices. He rebuilt the damaged choir of Beverley Minster as a shrine to its bishop-founder St John while packing its prestigious chapter with trusted lieutenants. He completed Ripon Minster with a two-towered faà§ade after promoting its legendary saint Wilfrid and creating a rich new stall for the chapter. Gray also may have been instrumental in choosing the design for the new east end of Southwell Minster, where he provided new statutes and stipends for the resident canons. The institutional relationships and the programmatic significance of these monuments have not been considered previously, and the four studies here show that reform and rebuilding worked together successfully to raise the profile of York and its minsters. During the building campaigns Gray created new prebends and augmented benefices in order to recruit talented clergy, and he and his allies laid down new statutes to foster the professional ecclesiastic standards and education favored by the Lateran Council. New architectural settings encouraged veneration of local saints, and their stories as pious past prelates of York bolstered the reputation of Gray and his office. New chapels allowed for the founding of chantries, often endowed by the archbishop's handpicked churchmen, and these paid for extra masses and the elaborate liturgical schedules expected of important churches in thirteenth-century England. The story of Walter de Gray and his building program gives scholarly attention to a leading figure in English medieval history, and it provides a new historical structure for understanding several important Gothic churches that rarely find a place in the architectural history of the Middle Ages. Moreover, these four monuments serve as a test case by which to evaluate scholarly approaches to English Gothic architecture of the twelfth and thirteenth century that have attempted to go beyond stylistic analysis, particularly Peter Brieger's idea of an episcopal style.

▼ This project explores the intersection of art, religion, and community within the historical context of the Middle Ages, where architecture acts as an expression of the experience of urban life, as well as an affecting locus of social interaction. It focuses on medieval Verona, where the immense architectural renovations of the eleventh and twelfth centuries were an integral response to a period of intense social and religious transformation. Here, the churches are examined as an ensemble, as a network of interconnected buildings that were produced under similar social circumstances. Instead of focusing on defining a Veronese architectural style through a number of decorative features, however, this dissertation explores difference as being an important factor in defining the look of each Veronese church, focusing on the Romanesque churches' relationships to the city, floorplans, and elevations as evocations of a period of considerable creativity. This variation is considered in terms of the experiences of the communities and individuals who commissioned them, and how the buildings' historical and cultic associations were identified within the larger urban context.

▼ This dissertation explores the spatiality of the parochial complex in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and the dynamic interrelation of architecture, figural art, and devotional practice. Among the spaces of the parish church of St. Jakob, the neighboring charnel-house chapel of St. Michael, and the urban cemetery between unfolded an intricate thematic program whose leitmotif was a miracle-working blood relic. Scholars are beginning to reassess the role of architecture in structuring and creating meaning among the seemingly disparate elements of medieval multi-media church programs. This meaning was not only contained in individual artworks but was also expressed in the interrelation among different pieces. The parochial complex of Rothenburg ob der Tauber was bookended by two elevated chapels: the pilgrimage chapel of the west end of St. Jakob contained the altarpiece of the Holy Blood by Tilman Riemenschneider; the free-standing octagonal cemetery chapel of St. Michael housed a Riemenschneider altarpiece of the Holy Cross. Between these spaces stretched an intricate network of associations that promised the faithful resurrection and salvation. Chapter one considers the potential for patrons to convey meaning through the choice of recognizable architectural models. Chapter two studies the power of local campaigns and spatial compositions to stage pilgrimage and to promise divine protection to the faithful. Chapter three demonstrates the ability of architecture to draw simultaneously on local referents and on distant prototypes in order to communicate ideas. Finally, chapter four explores the interconnections among the spaces of an architectural complex and among the elements of its multi-media figural program.

▼ This thesis is a study in how the political culture of the reign of Henry III was conditioned by its engagement with wider continental ideological and administrative developments. Within the shared legal and cultural space of 'Europe', a number of factors contributed to the development of a language of power both secular and spiritual, including the growth of universities, the study of Roman civil and canon law, the development of dictamen and the increasing prominence of the mobile curial administrative elite. I propose that these influences were of signal importance for the reign of Henry III in its own right, and also in the longer-term development of later medieval English political culture. The chapters of the thesis evaluate these influences through three sections: prosopographical, textual and linguistic. Chapter 1 examines the personnel of royal government, exploring both the contributions to royal government made by foreign clerks, and the participation of other royal servants in European cultural networks. Chapter 2 turns to analysis of legal and dictaminal manuscripts, exploring the challenges in reconstructing medieval reading culture. In Chapter 3, the circulation of such manuscripts over the longer thirteenth century is evaluated to demonstrate their influence on royal government. In Chapter 4, the thesis turns to linguistic influence during the period of the personal rule, 1230-1250, exploring the impact of Romano-Canonical legal concepts on the discussion of royal power. Chapter 5 looks at the impact of the same concepts on discussion of the wider political community. The final chapter considers the influence of dictamen on the rhetoric of royal government. Bringing these strands together, the thesis shows that a cultivated and cosmopolitan elite, serving Henry III and knowledgeable in the learned laws and rhetoric, adapted that knowledge to their portrayal and implementation of royal government, with lasting significance for this reign and beyond.

▼ This thesis examines the genesis and development of the English land tax, commonly known as geld or Danegeld, from 991 until 1162. The thesis begins with an analysis of tribute money (gafol) paid by King Æthelred to Viking invaders, and the evolution of that tax into heregeld, an annual tax paid to maintain a standing Scandinavian fleet. It examines the feasibility of paying large tributes, given the size of the English economy and availability of silver coin. The thesis then moves on to show how, although Edward the Confessor abolished heregeld in 1051, land taxation continued right up until 1066 to serve other purposes. One of William the Conqueror's first acts as king was to levy geld, and he probably continued to do so in every year of his reign. The thesis extensively examines some of the rich sources of his reign, most especially Domesday Book and its 'satellite' texts. William Rufus and Henry I followed in their father's footsteps, probably levying gelds of 2s per hide in most years, helping finance numerous wars against their brother Duke Robert of Normandy. The Pipe Roll of Henry I is our single most detailed source about the tax on a national basis; this receives a close examination especially regarding the nature of exemption. King Stephen appears to have continued levying Danegeld, as it was invariably called by this point, in the areas in which he had control during the Anarchy. Henry II only levied Danegeld twice, as other taxes and feudal sources of income gradually became more important as the twelfth century progressed. After aborted attempts to revive and reform the land tax system in the reigns of Richard, John and Henry III, the land tax was abandoned for good.

▼ This dissertation examines the lives and work
of Cistercian lay brothers throughout a roughly a two-century
period in the high
Middle Ages. It investigates the unique
contributions they made to Cistercian life during the main period
of their existence. Unlike previous studies, which have concerned
themselves predominantly with the origins of lay brothers as a way
into their status, this project begins with the question of whether
those from the countryside could be part of the religious life. It
then aims to show how the lay brothers themselves created their own
version of the religious life. Cistercian monks brought in lay
brothers as helpers in the goal of restoring manual labor to an
important place in monasticism. Thus, the dissertation opens by
studying the grange, the space of agricultural labor within the
Cistercian economy. Through an analysis of two French monasteries,
the study argues that lay brothers were on the frontlines of
Cistercian labor, bringing their own unique know-how to resolving
conflicts commensurate with the way monks were specialists in the
divine office. Then, the dissertation surveys the customaries that
guided monks and lay brothers both at work and during communal
liturgical celebrations to illuminate how these practices
reinforced the subordinate status of lay brothers. Finally, it
probes several exempla to uncover how lay brothers became part of a
larger Cistercian narrative, which in turn served to influence ways
that monks thought about lay brothers and expected them ideally to
conduct themselves. Eventually authors outside of the Cistercian
world adopted these exempla and promulgated a largely unchanged
image of lay brothers to diverse audiences. In the end, the lay
brothers were more than simply auxiliaries to the monks, despite
the rhetoric of the monks themselves. These men, largely from the
countryside and never intending to embrace monasticism the way
choir monks did, and eventually not allowed to, forged a different
version of the religious life adapted to peasant ways of
life.

▼ This study focuses on the Expositio Orationis Dominicae of the little known Augustinian friar Jordan of Quedlinburg (d. 1370/80). An edition of this work is presented in Part One. Jordan's treatise originated from lectures he held in the Order's studium at Erfurt in 1327. As such, they offer insight into the 'other side' of the Augustinian School, the teaching in the studia not associated with a university. In the fourteenth century there were 32 studia generalia in which Augustinians could receive the prerequisite instruction for the 'degree' lector, the license to teach in any school of the Order except for those associated with a university. The theology of the other side of the Augustinian school was more representative of the Order's theology than were the Sentences commentaries of the Order's magistri. Furthermore, the office of lector was not merely a stage within the Order's educational system. The lectors were the legislators of the Order's doctrine. Jordan's theology was thoroughly Augustinian. This becomes apparent when his theology is placed in context of the religio Augustini. Jordan exhorted his brothers to be the imitators of Augustine and to follow Augustine's religion. Thus, they were not to remain cloistered in their cells, but were to bring the riches of the contemplative life to society at large by teaching and preaching. In this light, the religio Augustini offers the foundation for an historical interpretation of late medieval Augustinianism, rather than one based on theological definitions of the term Augustinian. For the late medieval Augustinian Hermit, it was the religio Augustini that made one an Augustinian.

▼ "William of Canterbury, one of the authors of the Thomas Becket miracle collection, reports in a twelfth-century miracle that an eight-year-old boy named Phillip was looking at rocks by a lake located in the county of Cheshire, when he slipped and was overtaken by the water (aquis obrutus est). When he did not return home, his father, Hugh Scot, searched for him everywhere in the village and found his body submerged in the lake. Hugh was sighing and groaning (suspiriis et gemitu) after extracting him from the water, and when Phillip's mother heard about his death, she indulged in tears and wailing (lacrymis indulget et plactui).1 Rather than preparing the boy's corpse for a funeral, his parents attempted to revive him by suspending him by his feet in order to drain the liquid from his body, and when that did not work, by giving him holy water associated with Thomas Becket (aqua sancti Thomoe). According to William of Canterbury, because of the devotion of the parents (devotio parentum) and divine intervention, Phillip began to show signs of life, making his father leap forth (exsiliente) from his seat with excitement." – Introduction

▼ This study contributes to the ongoing debate about the existence and nature of the Cathar heresy in Languedoc in the long thirteenth century. Using testimony of accused heretics, it traces a network of fundraising, donations, testamentary bequests, deposit-holding, moneylending, and other types of financial transactions that evidences the existence of a discreet group of people traditionally called ‘Cathars’. This study demonstrates that, unlike many other medieval religious movements, this group did not practice voluntary poverty as part of a holy life. Since the Cathars are traditionally thought to be radical dualists who rejected the material world in all its forms, and because their clergy professed asceticism in other aspects of life, the failure to embrace holy poverty struck contemporary observers as hypocritical and self-serving. Many modern historians have agreed with this assessment, while others have argued that the Cathars did, in fact, embrace poverty. This study serves as a corrective to both points of view: the ‘Cathars’ in thirteenth-century Languedoc neither embraced poverty, nor cynically claimed to do so while disregarding their principles. Rather, repudiation of money was not part of their way of life. That the Cathars of Languedoc did not embrace apostolic poverty is not surprising when we consider that they were embedded in a local culture with strong moneylending traditions. These local practices did not conform to the norms of the Catholic church, rendering the region vulnerable to charges of usury as well as heresy. As part of its effort to standardize religious practice, in the thirteenth century the papacy waged an aggressive campaign against Cathar heresy. Uneasy with the rapid economic expansion of the high Middle Ages, it also stepped up attacks on usury, which was seen by some as a kind of heresy. Seeing that Cathars did not embrace holy poverty – and, in fact, participated in the economy – contemporary critics accused them of practicing usury and pursuing wealth. Languedoc, already deeply associated with Catharism, came under attack in the thirteenth century for its credit culture as well. Using case studies of early thirteenth-century Toulouse and late thirteenth-century Albi, this dissertation examines the association between heresy and usury and argues that attacks on their practitioners were intended to enforce conformity to orthodox norms and eradicate difference within Latin Christendom.

▼ This thesis examines how the worldâ s first female dramatist, the tenth-century canoness Hrotsvit of Gandersheim, challenged pedagogical interpretations of gender in her imitations of Roman literature. The dissertation finds that while Hrotsvit imitated the content and form of Ovid, Terence, and Virgil, she denaturalized the binary conceptions of gender promulgated in their works by inverting the specific markers of gender identified in pedagogical texts associated with them and by linking those behavioural markers to imbalances of social power rather than to biology. Studies of the sex/gender system in the early medieval period have tended to focus on medical discourses which attribute gendered behaviour to biology. My doctoral research uses untapped primary sources to prove that gender was not invariably thought to be tied to biology in the medieval cultural imaginary. The commentaries, glosses, and other pedagogical texts on classical literature used in medieval classrooms presented readers with a concrete set of ideas about gender, including highly specific linguistic and behavioural expectations. While scholars have increasingly begun to analyze commentaries on classical literature for insights into medieval gender norms, the majority of this work has focused on the dissemination of ideas about masculinity in male homosocial schools during the twelfth century and beyond. My research contributes to this conversation by asking how early medieval female readers responded to the educational discourses on gender which they encountered in the female-led classrooms of women's religious institutions. The thesis is also innovative in its proposal that Hrotsvitâ s book of saintsâ legends was written in imitation of Ovid. Overall, the dissertation revises current understandings of the sex/gender system in the Ottonian period, demonstrating that ideas which resemble the social construction of gender were circulating centuries earlier than previously thought.

▼ My dissertation tells the story of how the separation of voice and meaning in discursive structures became bound up with legitimating the fifteenth-century conquest of non-Christian lands. This is because the possibility of extending secular dominion into lands outside traditional legitimating practices necessitated a new rethinking of the use and discourse of authority. At the center of this change in meaning and voice were the Iberian translations of John Gower's Confessio Amantis that joined two different modalities of questioning the presentation of authority through writing: a Castilian approach, which disassociated the experience of reading from the verisimilitude of narration, and an English one, which undermined the possibility of speech to communicate truth. This synthesis justified colonialism because it gave sovereigns the means to speak with authority in a place outside universal language and law. The Iberian and English traditions which influenced Gower's translation into Portuguese, therefore, support the idea that there was a growing disconnect between the power of their ideas and the ways in which they were conveyed. The most disseminated examples of Castilian historiography and English translation separated what they meant from how they said it. They made spaces for understanding which were outside of communication-spaces which proved that signs could divorce their social uses from their ability to signify while still retaining their ability to change the world. These spaces, in being taken up by the Portuguese translations of Gower's Confessio, helped Europe fashion a concept of sovereignty applicable outside the boundaries of Western discourse. My project, therefore, works as a new comparative study of medieval literatures and of the effects of medieval culture in contemporary discussions of post-colonial agency. It does this first by providing an analysis of legal discourse and the use of metaphors to vindicate colonial authority in the fourteenth and fifteenth century. Second, it shows how the cross-cultural interchange of two medieval discursive traditions that are usually read separately-those of Iberia and of England-were synthesized in ways that paralleled this legalistic discourse. The result is the first comparative study of England and Iberian literature as it bears on larger questions of fifteenth-century political agency.

▼ During an excavation in 1998 at the junction of the Hoogstraat/Lange Wolstraat in Sluis, many waste contexts were found that contained glass. A total of 124 individuals were encountered. The contexts were divided into two periods: 1300-1400 and 1400-1500. 98 glasses date from the 14th century, 26 date from the 15th century. In the 14th century most glasses were probably made in the Mediterranean, in the 15th century, most were probably made of Waldglas.
In the Low Countries there is no site where such glasses in such an amount were found as in Sluis. Most sites in the Low Countries have a higher MNI in the 15th century, not in the 14th century. The sites, even along the same river, may show a different assemblage. In the 14th century, the sites west of Utrecht have relatively more Maigelbecher than sites east of Utrecht. In the 15th century, the sites west of Utrecht have relatively more Maigeleins than sites east of Utrecht.
In general the MNI increases from the 14th to the 15th century and of the drinking vessels the Maigelbecher, Maigeleins and prunted beakers (Waldglas) start to dominate the assemblage.

▼ The process of urbanisation was important during the Late
Middle Ages in Europe. Traditionally, the rise of urban centres has been associated with unhealthier living conditions, compared to the countryside. However, this so-called ‘urban graveyard effect´ has been challenged by more recent historical and osteological research. Particularly, osteoarchaeologists have assessed the possible difference in living conditions between urban and rural areas through physiological stress markers, such as linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH). In the Netherlands, up to date, a specific and detailed osteoarchaeological analysis of the effect of urbanisation in children has not been done. To address this question, this thesis has studied the individuals from the Late Medieval urban centre of Alkmaar and rural village of Klaaskinderkerke, focusing on the prevalence, number of episodes, and age distribution of LEH in canines.
The results show a lack of difference between Alkmaar and Klaaskinderkerke. High levels of prevalence and number of episodes are present in both populations; in addition, the defects followed a similar age distribution. Therefore, as historical sources also point out, these socioeconomic changes did not only affect the city but also the countryside. In the Netherlands, both spaces changed during the Late
Middle Ages, and both had great importance in the rising Dutch economy. The high levels of physiological stress in the city and the countryside support the idea that this Dutch economic development did not mean an improvement in living conditions for people. In summary, living in the countryside was as physiologically stressful as living in the city.

▼ In this thesis, the zooarchaeological assemblages from the Tabacalera site are compared with each other and changes in animal husbandry strategies and diet are studied. Afterward they are also compared to other data from the Iberian Peninsula known for the periods in question. These assemblage date to the Late Roman Period (5th-6th centuries) and the
Middle Ages (8th to 16th, but mainly 14th to 16th). The Late Roman assemblage exists of carcasses dumped after a catastrophic event and the medieval assemblage was accumulated over de course of the centuries. These differences in accumulation made it hard to compare the two assemblages. To asses the possible changes a plethora of methods was used: species ratios, element distribution, mortality profiles, osteometric analysis and the distribution of taphonomic marks. In addition to the mammal fragments these methods were used on, species distribution is also discussed for the other animal groups, such as birds. All in all, this led to the following conclusions. Firstly, due to the different taphonomy and accumulation the two assemblages can barely be compared when animal husbandry and diet is considered. Some conclusions, however are possible. Secondly, cattle were the animals that were produced at the site. The focus of production lay on a mix of meat and secondary products. A part of the cattle was used for milk, ploughing and traction, and not consumed until old age and a part was slaughtered for meat and likely traded to a high-status or urban site in the area. Pig and sheep/goats were animals consumed at the site, but not produced or traded. The only product of pig was meat and sheep/goats were kept for mixed production of both wool and meat. Other species formed a supplement to this diet. Mainly these are chicken and turkey. The presence of turkey is special due to its only recent introduction to the country. Other animal groups still need to be studied. The medieval assemblage fits with the characteristics of a rural Christian site near a high-status or urban settlement during the High
Middle Ages in Northern Spain. The changes that could be determined between the Roman and medieval assemblages were the change in socio economic status from high-status Roman to rural medieval. This was also attested by historical sources. There was also a change in primary consumption animal and the breed improvement of cattle known in the area from the Roman period ceased in the
Middle Ages, resulting in a decrease in cattle size. The size of the sheep (that were already small during the Roman period) stayed the same during the
Middle Ages. This resulted in the conclusion that no breed improvement took place
71
and that the mixed production known for the Roman period stayed the same in the
Middle Ages. In conclusion, between the Late Roman period and the (High)
Middle Ages the site underwent many changes with little continuity between the periods. These changes envelope both taphonomical and husbandry changes.

▼ This thesis expands how the medieval monastic family can be understood to parallel the traditional nuclear family founded upon the heterosexual union of husband and wife for the purpose of procreation. From the fourth to thirteenth centuries, monastic communities functioned as same-sex family units because they both differentiated from the larger associations of kin and community, and contained human relations that were very different from those outside the monastery. Medieval monasteries were composed of three generations of monks that fulfilled the familial and affective roles of fathers, brothers, and children. The monastic family incorporated components of the Roman and Hebraic families, but also created emotional bonds and affective experiences that are not mirrored by the medieval secular family. Monks were able to adopt fluid and reflexive affective roles that, according to the twelfth-century abbot, Bernard of Clairveaux, permitted a monk to be “both a mother and a father, both a brother and a sister.”

▼ The Decretals of Gregory IX, promulgated in 1234, was the first collection of canon law for the Catholic Church invested with universal and exclusive authority, and was the culmination of a century and a half process by which the a now papal-led Church came to be the leading institution within medieval European society. The Decretals, also known as the Liber extra - a compilation of 1971 papal letters, constitutions and conciliar canons drawn principally from the century prior to its issuance - has long been understood as a key text for the study of the medieval papacy, the rise of scholasticism within the universities, and the extension of the Church's jurisdiction into almost every area of medieval life. The degree to which the man commissioned to edit the collection, the Dominican Raymond of Penyafort (1175-1275), actively shaped the legal content of the Decretals through eliminating, rewording, or supplementing the individual texts has remained elusive, in part because of the complicated manuscript tradition and in part because of our ignorance of all his sources. This dissertation examines Raymond's editing of the most recent material within the collection, the 195 capitula attributed to the commissioning pope Gregory IX (1227-1241), which in many cases provide definitive statements of the law. This study has determined that Raymond used Gregory IX's papal registers - the official record of papal correspondence and administration - as a source for roughly half of the capitula attributed to this pope in the Decretals. A collation of these capitula with the register originals has been produced, allowing one to see directly how Raymond shaped the material at his disposal into a universal legal framework for the Church. While the collation will serve as the basis for future analyses of the changes Raymond and Gregory introduced into the law, a case study has been conducted for the Gregorian legislation related to the religious orders. The results of this study show the dynamic and contingent nature of papal legislation - how the law at times was crafted in response to specific difficulties faced by legal commentators, but also how certain decisions with a narrow scope were given broad and universal application by Raymond, sometimes with unintended consequences down the road. Such was the case with Gregory's decision to allow women in a southern German province - who had been abandoned by their husbands for having committed adultery - to enter convents set up for former prostitutes (X 3.32.19, Gaudemus in Domino). In Raymond's hands this became a general recommendation that all women convicted of adultery should enter into convents to perform lifetime penance. Aside from legal content, Raymond's editing for the entire collection has been examined from the standpoint of legal rhetoric, and the particular language of law that emerged in the thirteenth century. It is demonstrated how Raymond consistently eliminated references to the counsel given the pope by the cardinals during legal decision making, with the…

"On Earth as It Is in Heaven?" The Creation of the Bastides of Southwest France.

▼ In southwest France starting in the early thirteenth century, an estimated 500 to 700 new towns were created over the course of about 150 years. These new towns, or "bastides," were most often created on unoccupied lands and took the form of a geometric grid plan that was designed around a central market square ringed with arcades, or couverts. Created for economic trade and settlement purposes, the bastides represent one of the first forays into urban planning on a grid system since late Roman times, especially on such a large scale, and they coincide with new economic and political rights and grants of land laid out in the town charters to attract inhabitants to move to the new communities. Many of the bastides were founded by the kings of France and England, as well as local lords including Count Raymond VII of Toulouse, and were made in cooperation with local landowners who were often Cistercian monasteries or minor nobility. While many studies thus far have focused on the economic and political implications for these charters, which included sales and property taxes that replaced traditional tithing, other scholarship has focused on their geographic placement and their geometric planning. However, few have addressed larger issues of identity formation, the social production of space, visual relationships such as between the market hall and the church, or the impact of the Cathar heresy in the region on the relationship between bastides and ecclesiastic authorities. This dissertation addresses these issues of social context, town design, and architectural form. The Cathar heresy was initially put down by a crusade called by Innocent III and resulted in the wholesale destruction of many cities in southwest France. The bastides were created partly as a consequence of the devastation in order to fulfill the need for new settlements. Because of this history of heresy, many bastides were built on former Cathar lands and utilized a strong stamp of authority through naming practice and the development of over-large church clocher-porches that dominate the town squares. Other bastides reflect identity and ambition through the appropriation of European city names, most of them Spanish or Italian, many of which were developing new economic and political rights of their own that were allowing them to thrive. These included the Fueros de Valencia and the Liber Paradisus of Bologna, which targeted the merchant class at the expense of the nobility, and the latter did so through the rhetoric of biblical metaphor. Many of the names used by the bastides were Italian communes, which had a tradition of written odes that described the ideal city in language that included the visual description of compact, state homes on organized, broad streets. These reflect the wide straight streets of the bastides and not the narrow, overbuilt urban tangle that was more common in medieval cities. Though the underlying geometry of bastides is somewhat tenuous, the massive size of some of their squares stands as a marker of their founders'…

▼ This dissertation explores the activities of the Friars Minor relating to penance, seeking to identify the distinctive characteristics of their penitential ideals and practices and understand how they affected the penitential lives of those around them. The first three chapters draw from sources dating to the thirteenth and occasionally early fourteenth centuries from all over Western Christendom, while the last two chapters use sources mainly from thirteenth-century Northern Italy. In the Franciscan Summae confessorum, handbooks for confessors, three distinctive Franciscan penitential ideals emerge: a willingness to undermine the established order of the Church in order to gain more influence in the penitential forum; a desire for more lenient interrogation methods and imposition of penances; and a conception of indulgences as a normal part of the penitential process rather than as extraordinary privileges. These ideals influenced the way Franciscans directed penitential policy when they became prominent under the Franciscan pope Nicholas IV. Absolution and dispensation were made more available through delegation, bishops were left out of the process, and indulgences were granted in larger numbers. Franciscan penitential ideals also spread to the laity through preaching. Franciscans’ emphasis on lenient penances was paired with sermons that urged the laity to do lifelong penance and exalted their spiritual status. Franciscan spiritual advice also moved holy women such as Angela of Foligno and Margaret of Cortona to moderate their excessive penitential practices, seek out indulgences, and criticize prelates. But many lay people resisted Franciscan influence, such as the confraternities of Florence who rejected Franciscan guidance. In general, there was a relationship of mutual influence between the friars and laity in which the friars aimed to control penitential practice to some extent, but also left room for and encouraged lay autonomy, which can be seen in testaments from Bologna.

▼ This thesis is a biographical study of John of Brienne, king of Jerusalem and later Latin emperor of Constantinople (d. 1237). John’s extraordinary career is touched on by many commentators concerned with the crusades and the Latin East in the early thirteenth century, but it has not been properly re-assessed for more than seventy years. A comprehensive re-examination opens up new angles on the political structures and social landscapes that produced it. John’s career illustrates some residual strengths of the Jerusalemite monarchy just before the start of the Hohenstaufen epoch. It also sheds light on a period in the history of the Latin empire all too easily regarded as largely a void. But within the biographical context, the thesis’s focus is more on the complex interplay between the Latin West and East in the early thirteenth century. A principal theme in this regard is the mobility, in geographical and politico-hierarchical terms, of a specific echelon of the high aristocracy in early thirteenth-century Europe, building on Bartlett’s conception of the contemporaneous western European ‘aristocratic diaspora’. Aristocrats who are ‘not quite first rank’ can be discerned on the make in regions, both west and east, distant from their original homelands. Much of the significance of that lies in the context, the variety of opportunities, and also the limitations on such figures. Whilst this thesis dwells on John’s experience of patronage and dependency, it also identifies grounds for tensions in his ‘new’ environments, as well as highlighting the opportunities and pitfalls presented by ‘dynastic interstices’. In this way, the thesis unpacks many of the ‘more normal’ features of the aristocratic diaspora out of John’s exceptional career. The thesis links together the thematic material to focus, in particular, on the interactions between various Western great powers and John as a client figure.
