SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Engaging the Sensoria in Premodern Qur’an Commentary"
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Fall 2023. Tehseen Thaver (Religion) will present this lunchtime talk on Wednesday\, December 6. \nWhat is the relationship between Qur’an exegesis\, ritual practice\, and the formations of religious identities and communities? This is the central question this presentation will address by focusing on the first complete and extant Persian Qur’an commentary to have been composed by a Twelver Shi‘i scholar\, Shaykh Abu al-Futuh Razi (d. 1157)\, titled The Cool Breeze of Paradise and Breath for the Soul. Through a close reading of Razi’s exegesis I show the interaction of Qur’an exegesis\, Shi’i rituals of remembrance and the cultivation of distinct sensorial reactions and capacities – an important medium for the narration\, transmission\, and indeed determination of religious identities. I argue that Razi’s commentary served the dual role of “explanatory written text” and “oral ritual telling\,” while establishing its authority in each of these contexts. \nPlease RSVP Here. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Ethiopia and the Art of Cross-Cultural Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Christine Sciacca on February 21 at 4:30pm. \nA reception will follow the lecture.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nEthiopia sits at the juncture of Africa\, Asia\, and Europe\, and historically it had access to the Mediterranean Sea\, the Nile River\, the Red Sea\, and the Indian Ocean. Its situation at the nexus of travel and trade routes resulted in cultural cross-currents between Ethiopia and its surrounding cultures. In this lecture\, Christine Sciacca\, Curator of European Art\, 300-1400 CE at the Walters Art Museum\, will discuss the current exhibit\, Ethiopia at the Crossroads\, which celebrates the exchanges that took place and the impact of Ethiopian artistic traditions from their origins to the present day. \nChristine Sciacca is Curator of European Art\, 300-1400 CE at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. She received her Ph.D.\, M.Phil.\, and M.A. in Art History from Columbia University\, and a B.A. in Art History from Cornell University. Christine was a curator of illuminated manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum for ten years\, and she has worked at The Met Cloisters and The British Library. Her research concentrates on Italian\, German\, and Ethiopian medieval art\, with a focus on liturgy\, devotional practice\, and patronage. Christine’s book publications include Building the Medieval World\, Illuminating Women in the Medieval World\, and Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance: Painting and Illumination\, 1300-1350. Her exhibition\, Ethiopia at the Crossroads\, is currently on view at the Walters Art Museum until March 3\, and will travel to the Peabody Essex Museum\, and the Toledo Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium: “Burial Archaeology and the Justinianic Plague”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2024. \nJanet Kay (Art & Archaeology) will present the lunchtime talk\, “Burial Archaeology and the Justinianic Plague.” The Justinianic Plague (541-544 CE)\, as the beginning of the sixth- to eighth-century First Plague Pandemic of Yersinia pestis\, has recently been at the center of a small but fervent debate among scholars with different methodological approaches. Kay will present models of how future research on the Justinianic Plague can more effectively use evidence from burial archaeology to understand its biological and social impact–whether that research is led by archaeologists or within interdisciplinary teams that include archaeologists in their project design. \nPlease RSVP Here. \n\nNext Medieval Faculty Colloquium for Spring 2024 \nTues\, April 9 at 12:00 pm: Stephen Teiser (Religion)

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: "How Tang Literature Became 'Ancient': Evolving Models of Tang Dynasty Literary History in the Northern Song"
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event was rescheduled from February 20 to March 19. Please email Anna D’Elia with any questions. \nThe Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2024. Anna Shields\, Professor of East Asian Studies and Chair of Department of East Asian Studies\, will present this lunchtime talk on Tuesday\, March 19. \nThis talk explores a thread in the reception history of Tang dynasty (618-907) literature in the Northern Song (960-1127)\, focusing on emerging models of Tang literary development proposed by Song scholars. The new significance of “antiquity” as a value in Northern Song intellectual culture has been well-studied–as a catalyst for a revival of classical studies\, the development of Neo-Confucian thought\, and the flourishing of historical writing\, among other things. But the impact of these trends on Song scholars’ views of literature and its historical development is less well understood. Certain Tang writers claimed to have achieved a timeless “antiquity” in their literary writing–how did those claims shape Song scholars’ attempts to map the trajectory of Tang literature? More broadly\, to what extent could literary writing (wenzhang 文章) be conceptualized as a product of historical change? Song scholars’ answers to these questions reveal their new concern about the correct relationship of literary writing to historical circumstance\, as well as competition over a still-emerging Tang literary canon. \nPlease RSVP HERE. Lunch will be provided. \n\nUpcoming Medieval Faculty Colloquia for Spring 2024 \nTues\, April 9 at 12:00 pm: Stephen Teiser (Religion)

SUMMARY:Comparative Diplomatics: “The growth of the mestizo sangley in early 17th century Manila as seen in two 1630s documents”
DESCRIPTION:This paper seeks to contribute to the growing number of studies on early modern period intercultural relations\, focusing on Chinese-Filipino-Spanish interactions in the early 1600s and the resulting rise of the mestizo sangley\, children of Filipino and Chinese unions. The paper is based on two 1630s documents in the Archivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomás (AUST) in Manila. \n\nComparative Diplomatics is an exploratory workshop on documents in late antiquity and the middle ages with occasional forays into the modern era\, as distinct from narrative and normative long-form texts. Its goal is twofold: to stimulate the production of new translations of late antique and medieval documentary sources that can be used in the classroom\, and/or harvest some of the translations already being made; and to bring languages\, subfields and approaches into contact in order to clarify methodological questions. \nEach presenter will translate an unpublished document or retranslate a previously published document that needs fresh examination\, and roughly one week ahead of time\, provide the group with an edition\, a translation and an image of the original. \nTo receive the image(s)\, edition(s)\, and translation(s) of the document(s) to be discussed\, sign up here. \nConveners: Thomas Conlan (East Asian Studies/History)\, Helmut Reimitz (History)\, Marina Rustow (Near Eastern Studies/History) \nCoordinators: Stephanie Luescher (Near Eastern Studies) and Lucia Waldschuetz (History) \n\nComparative Diplomatics is sponsored by the Center for Collaborative History with support from the Program in Medieval Studies.

SUMMARY:"The Greater Sea": The Black Sea and Medieval Eurasia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the annual Medieval Studies Faber Lecture with David Abulafia (University of Cambridge) on March 27 at 4:30 pm. \nA reception  will follow the lecture.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nThe role of the Black Sea in medieval trade is often seen from the perspective of its links to the so-called Silk Roads stretching all the way to China\, particularly in the wake of the Mongol conquests\, or from the perspective of its links across the Mediterranean to the Italian cities whose merchants established trading colonies on its shores. This lecture attempts to shift the emphasis towards what was going on within the Black Sea itself\, with its massive supplies of grain\, wax\, slaves – and caviar. \nDavid Abulafia is Professor Emeritus of Mediterranean History at Cambridge University\, where he is also a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College. His book The Great Sea: a Human History of the Mediterranean  (2011) won the British Academy Medal and The Boundless Sea: a Human History of the Oceans won the Wolfson History Prize. Within the Mediterranean\, he has written extensively about southern Italy in the Middle Ages and about the Catalan world. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and was created Commander of the Order of the British Empire by King Charles III in 2023. \n\nThis event is supported by the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council\, and co-sponsored by the Medieval Black Sea Project\, Center for Collaborative History.

SUMMARY:EHL Seminar: "Connecting With a Remembered Past: Uncovering the Layers of Disease\, Death\, Motherhood\, and Magic in a Late Antique Rural Roman Community"
DESCRIPTION:*Refreshments will be served after the talk.*  \nFor Zoom\, register here. \nIn the late 1980’s\, archaeologists excavating an elegant First Century Roman villa in the Tiber River Valley were surprised to discover the remains of infant cemetery. Ritual materials and paleopathological evidence suggested the formation of the cemetery had followed an epidemiological event many centuries after the villa’s collapse\, and subsequent molecular analyses confirmed the presence of Pl. falciparum malaria in at least one of the buried children. When excavations resumed in 2016\, new light was shed on the infant cemetery and the living agricultural community that had formed it in Late Antiquity. This presentation reviews in depth the novel research and analyses that have come from this project\, incorporating perspectives from bioarchaeology\, Classics\, and environmental history. The unequal burdens carried by women during this public health crisis emerges as a throughline: pregnant women would have been disproportionally affected by malaria\, potentially leaving female healers such as midwives to care for them physically and spiritually and contend with the realities of pregnancy and infant loss. Looking forward\, this presentation considers how the interdisciplinary framework utilized on this project might be applied to similar contexts throughout the ancient Mediterranean. \n\nThe Environmental History Lab is supported by a David A. Gardner ‘69 Magic Grant from the Humanities Council and the Program in Medieval Studies. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Art & Archaeology.

SUMMARY:Francis and Nature
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lecture with Jacques Dalarun on April 3 at 4:30pm. \nA reception will follow the lecture.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nFrancis of Assisi is often cited\, including by popes\, as the precursor of our modern idea of ecology. But what about his actual relationship with “nature\,” which he never mentions in his writings? We will attempt to answer this question through a careful examination of the most authentic medieval sources – Francis’ writings and his oldest legends – first by trying to understand the message of the Canticle of Brother Sun\, then by asking about Francis’ attitude toward animals\, and finally by confronting the question of his diet. We will discover a coherent body of thought\, not to be confused with our modern ideologies\, but which can nonetheless enlighten our thinking and our choices. \n\nJacques Dalarun is a French medieval historian\, member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres\, and Corresponding Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America. He is interested in a variety of puzzling religious experiences\, from that of Robert of Arbrissel\, founder of the mixed order of Fontevraud in the early 12th century\, to those of holy women of 13th- and 14th-century Italy. In particular\, he explores sources relating to Francis and Clare of Assisi. He has published\, in English\, The Misadventure of Francis of Assisi. Toward a Historical Use of the Franciscan Legends\, 2002; Francis of Assisi and the Feminine\, 2006; Robert of Arbrissel: Sex\, Sin\, and Salvation in the Middle Ages\, 2006; The Two Lives of Robert of Arbrissel\, Founder of Fontevraud: Legends\, Writings\, and Testimonies\, in collaboration\, 2006; Francis of Assisi and Power\, 2007; The Rediscovered Life of St. Francis of Assisi\, 2016; The Canticle of Brother Sun: Francis of Assisi Reconciled\, 2016; The Prayed Francis: Liturgical Vitae and Franciscan Identity in the Thirteenth Century\, with Marco Bartoli and Timothy J. Johnson\, 2019; To Govern is to Serve: An Essay on Medieval Democracy\, 2023; A Female Apostle in Medieval Italy. The Life of Clare of Rimini\, with Sean L. Field and Valerio Cappozzo\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: "How Did Governors and Buddhist Monks Deal with Epidemics in Medieval China?"
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2024. Stephen F. Teiser\, D.T. Suzuki Professor in Buddhist Studies\, Department of Religion\, will present this lunchtime talk on Tuesday\, April 9. \nIn the spring of 902\, hoping to end a three-year epidemic\, the governor of a large province in northwest China commanded monks and nuns at more than one dozen Buddhist temples to perform rituals of chanting and confession twice each month. The bureaucrat’s autograph decree and the response of the Buddhist church survive by chance among the Dunhuang manuscripts\, a unique trove of materials discovered in 1900. The cache also preserves six liturgies composed and performed by Buddhist monks for the curing of epidemics during the ninth and tenth centuries. Based largely on manuscript sources\, this talk analyzes how rulers and clerics conceived the etiology of epidemics and what religious therapies they deployed to cure collective illness. \nSome epidemics were attributed to the ruler’s indiscretions\, while others were explained by collective karma\, individuals incurring debts from previous lifetimes\, meddling by demons\, or general catastrophes. One mechanism for cure was giving charity to Buddhist temples and dedicating the benefits to communal health. Other rituals propitiated deities\, seeking their protection and requesting them to repel malevolent spirits with supernatural force. Other therapies sought to dispatch ogres and illnesses to uninhabited realms. \nPlease RSVP HERE. Lunch will be provided. \n\nBook exhibit in the history reading room \nAlain St. Pierre and the Princeton University Library invite the Medieval Studies community to the History reading room in Firestone Library (Floor A: turn left out of the main staircase) on colloquium days to view recently acquired titles in all subject areas of Medieval Studies. The books will be on display from Monday (April 8) through Wednesday (April 10).  Come browse!

SUMMARY:EHL Seminar: "Saint Olav’s Axe: Driftwood\, Power\, and Artistic Invention on Medieval Iceland"
DESCRIPTION:*Refreshments will be served after the talk.*  \nFor Zoom\, register here. \nConceptions of Saint Olav\, the perpetual king and patron saint of Norway\, as a flowering tree were incorporated into the decorative program of Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim\, the most northerly archbishopric in the world. This figuration of church expansion through botanical imagery is intriguing when exported to Commonwealth Iceland\, an island with a drastically different ecological context than medieval Norway. This paper will consider the ways that local prestige was constructed through imported or scavenged wood in works of art on Iceland. The status of wooden objects on Iceland\, expressions of power that were also endlessly at risk of being torn down and recycled\, highlight the contextual nature of “luxury” as well as its tenuous construction in landscapes of precarity. Iceland’s increasing dependence upon Norwegian ships carrying timber contributed to Iceland’s eventual concession to the Norwegian king in 1262\, as well as\, I suggest\, the island’s own violent deforestation. Through my analysis of legal and environmental history\, the archeological record\, and the extant corpus of medieval Icelandic art objects\, I argue that timber acquisition and works of art in wood enforced Norwegian political power and mediated nuanced economic and cultural relationships on Commonwealth-era Iceland. \n\nThe Environmental History Lab is supported by a David A. Gardner ‘69 Magic Grant from the Humanities Council and the Program in Medieval Studies. This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Art & Archaeology.

SUMMARY:Ungroomed Renaissance: Josquin's Missa L'ami Baudichon; Songs and Motets
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 12 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm – Taplin Auditorium \nConcert: “Ungroomed Renaissance: Josquin’s Missa L’ami Baudichon; Songs and Motets” \nWhat are we supposed to make of a Renaissance mass whose audible engine is a lewd song? Cut Circle explores this question through the astonishingly ungroomed Missa L’ami Baudichon. The mass anchors a wide-ranging program of sacred and secular music by Josquin des Prez (1450–1521).  \nPresented by LUDUS\, a Collaborative Humanities Project. This concert is free and open to all. \nThe concert will be proceeded by a lunch workshop on April 10 (information below). RSVP is required for the workshop. \n\nWednesday\, April 10 from 12 – 1:30pm – 127 East Pyne \nWorkshop: “Ungrooming the Voice: An Interactive Workshop on Premodern Vocal Techniques” \nWestern art music requires “groomed” voices—voices that have been trained through private lessons\, choral ensembles\, or conservatory masterclasses. But are premodern repertories well served by approaches to and attitudes about the voice that emerged no more than 200 years ago? Join the ensemble Cut Circle for an interactive workshop\, geared toward all backgrounds and experience levels—including and especially no musical experience at all–in which participants are invited to decenter received esthetic values by ungrooming their voices. \nA light lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Medieval Dance\, Madness\, Ecstasy: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:LUDUS Workshop \nMary Channen Caldwell (University of Pennsylvania) \nWhen does movement spill over from something we recognize as dance as an artistic and social form to something else?

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Book Club: African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa
DESCRIPTION:With the summer coming to a close\, the Medieval Book Club would like to welcome all old and new faces back to Princeton this new academic year! We will kick off with African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa by Michael Gomez. \nIn African Dominion\, Michael Gomez interweaves political and social history by drawing on a rich array of sources\, including Arabic manuscripts\, oral histories\, and recent archaeological findings. Focusing on the Savannah and Sahel region\, Gomez traces the exchange of ideas and influences with North Africa and the Central Islamic Lands by way of merchants\, scholars\, and pilgrims. Islam’s growth in West Africa\, in tandem with intensifying commerce that included slaves\, resulted in a series of political experiments unique to the region\, culminating in the rise of empire. \nAll interested graduate students are warmly welcome! Our first gathering will be on Monday\, September 16 at 6pm in 209 Scheide Caldwell. If you would like to join\, please send an email to Mo van de Wege at mv9132@princeton.edu before Friday\, August 23 and indicate whether you would like a free copy of the book from Labyrinth and if you have any dietary restrictions. \nThese meetings are for graduate students only.

SUMMARY:E. Franklin Robbins/UJA-Federation Lecture: On How the West Became Antisemitic
DESCRIPTION:Join the Program in Judaic Studies and the Humanities Council’s Program in Medieval Studies for an E. Franklin Robbins/UJA-Federation Lecture with Ivan G. Marcus on Wednesday\, September 25. This event is part of Judaic Studies’ 2024-25 Lecture Series on Antisemitism. \nContrary to the widely accepted picture of Jewish history\, medieval Jews were assertive agents. The Jews of the Middle Ages were convinced of their chosenness\, and Christian rulers inadvertently reinforced Jewish solidarity by recognizing Jews as legal\, self-governing communities\, not just as individuals\, if only to tax them better. This talk reexamines not only how the Christian majority understandably affected the Jewish minority but surprisingly how the Jews – real and imagined – so challenged the Christian majority that it became a society that was religiously and culturally antisemitic in new ways between 800 and 1500. That new self-understanding remained part of European cultural identity down to the time of the Holocaust and beyond. \nOpen to the public. Refreshments will be available. \nMore about Ivan G. Marcus \nIvan G. Marcus is the Frederick P. Rose Professor of Jewish History\, Professor of History and of Religious Studies at Yale University. He received his BA from Yale University\, his MA from Columbia University\, and his MHL and PhD from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. \nBefore joining the Yale faculty\, he was Professor of Jewish History at The Jewish Theological Seminary of America\, where he was Provost from 1991 to 1994. He has also taught at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and at Princeton\, where he has served on the Advisory Council of the Department of Religion. \nHe has written Piety and Society: The Jewish Pietists of Medieval Germany (E. J. Brill\, 1981)\, which was a finalist for a National Jewish Book Award\, Rituals of Childhood: Jewish Culture and Acculturation in Medieval Europe\, which was published by Yale University Press in 1996; The Jewish Life Cycle: Rites of Passage from Biblical to Modern Times (University of Washington Press\, 2004) based on the 1998 Samuel and Althea Stroum Lectures. His book Sefer Hasidim and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe (UPenn\, 2018) is a chapter in the history of the book in medieval Europe. His most recent book is\, How the West Became Antisemitic (Princeton\, 2024). \nHe has received numerous fellowships including a research fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities and a Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship.

SUMMARY:Duke John's Skull: A Historical Whodunit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the annual Medieval Studies Faber Lecture with Eric Jager (UCLA) on September 26 at 4:30 pm. \nA reception will follow the lecture. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nThe murder of Duke John of Burgundy during a parley with his royal cousin Charles\, dauphin of France\, has been called  “a tragedy on an epic scale.” The gaping ax-wound in the duke’s skull became famous as “the hole through which the English entered France” — the portal for Henry V’s conquest and a brutal English occupation. John’s demise is well documented. It took place on September 10\, 1419\, around 5 pm\, about fifty miles southeast of Paris\, on a bridge connecting the castle at Montereau to the walled town across the river.  About twenty eyewitnesses were present\, and many survived to give testimony.  Yet still today no one knows for sure how the violence began\, who precisely struck the fatal blow\, or whether in fact it was done with an ax. Fierce debate has lasted for centuries\, leading to exhumations of the duke’s skull and bones to determine the facts and reassessments of documents relating to this very old cold case. Who killed Duke John\, was it an accident or premeditated murder\, and why does the answer still matter? \nEric Jager earned a Ph.D. in English at the University of Michigan and taught at Columbia University before joining UCLA\, where he teaches medieval literature and nonfiction writing. He has published scholarly books with Cornell and Chicago and trade books in the genre of “medieval true-crime.” His New York Times Best Seller THE LAST DUEL was shortlisted for a Crime Writers’ Association “Gold Dagger\,” featured on BBC Radio’s Book of the Week and adapted for the Ridley Scott film of the same title. The book has appeared in 20 languages worldwide and is the first part of a projected trilogy that includes BLOOD ROYAL (2014) and DUKE JOHN’S SKULL (in progress). \n**Location is subject to change pending Fall classroom assignments. \n\nThis event is supported by the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council\, and co-sponsored by the Medieval Black Sea Project\, Center for Collaborative History.

SUMMARY:Comparative Diplomatics: “Mapping Japan in the Iberian Archive: 16th Century Accounts from the Christian Mission”
DESCRIPTION:Comparative Diplomatics is an exploratory workshop on documents in late antiquity and the middle ages with occasional forays into the modern era\, as distinct from narrative and normative long-form texts. Its goal is twofold: to stimulate the production of new translations of late antique and medieval documentary sources that can be used in the classroom\, and/or harvest some of the translations already being made; and to bring languages\, subfields and approaches into contact in order to clarify methodological questions. \nEach presenter will translate an unpublished document or retranslate a previously published document that needs fresh examination\, and roughly one week ahead of time\, provide the group with an edition\, a translation and an image of the original. \nTo receive the image(s)\, edition(s)\, and translation(s) of the document(s) to be discussed\, sign up here. \nConveners: Tom Conlan (EAS/History)\, Helmut Reimitz (History)\, Marina Rustow (NES/History) \nCoordinators: Lucia Waldschuetz (History)\, Stephanie Luescher (NES). \n\nComparative Diplomatics is sponsored by the Center for Collaborative History with support from the Program in Medieval Studies.
