SUMMARY:LAMB - Idem Fide Iubes? The Formal Framework for the Use of  Sureties In Late Antiquity
DESCRIPTION:The Late Antique\, Medieval\, and Byzantine Workshop at Princeton University (LAMB) brings together graduate students from across departments and disciplines who study and research any region ca. 300-1500 CE\, and offers an opportunity to present and discuss their research with others from within and outside their fields. \nIn addition to providing scholarly support\, development\, and camaraderie\, LAMB prepares us to flourish after graduation. Pre-modernists are often tasked with teaching across geographies and time periods. Learning from each other through workshops provides an opportunity to put our research and our disciplines in conversation with one another. This is essential since medieval studies is unusually interdisciplinary by design\, necessity\, and institutional history. \nLAMB meetings are open to Princeton graduate students. \nHYBRID:   \n\nIn Person:  209 Scheide-Caldwell\nVirtual:       RSVP is required.  Register Here \n\nFor questions\, please contact Abigail Sargent (ams5@princeton.edu) or Nick Churik (nchurik@princeton.edu). \n

SUMMARY:Seminar: What Creeps Below and Buzzes Above: Multispecies Entanglement in the Early Medieval House
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental History Lab of the Program in Medieval Studies invites you to join us for the first seminar of Spring 2022. \nRachel Brody’s research investigates the role of plants and animals in people’s lives in early medieval Ireland and Britain and how the multitudes of complex human/non-human relationships shaped the ways health\, sanitation\, and disease were understood.  Rachel is interested in medieval medical manuscripts\, hagiographies\, and law codes and how these textual sources can be used with archaeological and environmental evidence to present a world of intersection between humans and non-humans. \nPrior to coming to Boston college\, Rachel worked as an archaeological field technician in Philadelphia\, gaining experience in surveying and excavating historic and prehistoric sites.  Rachel excavated on sites within the Northeastern United States and abroad in Europe and the Middle East. Since 2015\,  Rachel has supervised excavations for the Castles and Communities research project and field school\, in County Roscommon\, Ireland. \nRegistration required for this event\, please register here\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nWith thanks to the Program in Medieval Studies\, Climate Change and History Research Initiative\, and Department of Art & Archaeology \n

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium: William Noel
DESCRIPTION:Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium Series for the 2021-22 academic year.\n“COVID CODICOLOGY: How to Take a Book Apart\, Diagnose Paper\, and Classify Metalcuts and Engravings\, All From Your Office”\n\nThe analysis of the material text has taken a hit in the last couple of years.  This talk tries to show what you can do with a couple of computer tools\, a bunch of digital images\, and some basic metadata.\nWilliam Noel is a curator and librarian who specializes in the study of the medieval and Renaissance European book\, and in the application of digital technologies to humanist study. He is the John T. Maltsberger III ’55 Associate University Librarian for Special Collections in Princeton University Library\, and Chair of the Philadelphia Consortium of Special Collections Libraries. He has led numerous projects to digitize and data-mine the pre-modern manuscripts of the mid-Atlantic region\, and has experience in directing complicated\, large digital humanities projects such as the imaging\, conservation\, and transcription of the Archimedes Palimpsest. He likes to create environments in which lots of people\, lots of books\, and a bit of technology come together to create new things. He doesn’t write much anymore\, but he does talk: he teaches for Rare Book School at the University of Virginia\, he delivered the Sandars Lectures in Bibliography in 2019\, and he often advocates for open data\, as he does in this TED talk. \nRegistration is required.  Please register here

SUMMARY:How to Write a W - On the Magical Beginning of German Writing
DESCRIPTION:The paper aims at proving that common theories about the beginnings of German writing are not always based on the right premises. So far\, scholars have assumed that selective and tentative first steps led to more complex forms of translation and poetry in the vernacular. An analysis of the earliest manuscripts in German\, however\, shows that this assumption does not comply with the great achievements of the first vernacular writers. Rather\, it was extraordinary\, well-conceived first steps that were taken by courageous intellectuals. The paper is set to demonstrate that a certain kind of ‘magic’ is inherent to the beginnings of vernacular writing\, which will disappear again in later texts. \nAttendees may choose to attend in-person or via Zoom\, registration required for both options: \nIn person: Register here. This option is limited to Princeton-affiliated faculty and students. Space is limited to the first 20 people to register. RSVP deadline for in-person attendance is Friday\, November 19. The lecture will take place in 161 East Pyne. \n– All attendees must wear face coverings.\n– Ability to social distance may not be possible.\n– Princeton ID/Prox cards are required to enter the building. \nVia Zoom: Register here. This option is open to the wider medieval community outside of Princeton\, as well as Princeton-affiliated faculty and students who prefer to socially distance. \nFor any questions\, please contact Barbara Leavey at blleavey@princeton.edu.

SUMMARY:Index of Medieval Art Conference - Fragments\, Art\, and Meaning in the Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:Seven speakers will consider the role played by fragments and fragmentation in the medieval and modern understanding of works of art. Their half-hour papers will address such topics as the use or reuse of fragments in the creation of new works; quotation and replication as a kind of fragmentation; fragmentation of the perceptual or conceptual experience of a work; deliberate fragmentation or fragmentariness in works such as pilgrims’ tokens or votive objects; and the modern engagement with fragments as an attempt to reconstruct lost works of art\, lost visual traditions\, or lost cultural practices. For more information and registration\, please see the conference website. \nThis will be a hybrid conference. In accordance with campus health and safety guidelines\, on-site attendance in Rabinowitz A17 will be limited to 50 pre-registered Princeton University students\, faculty and staff; off-campus participants are cordially invited to join the conference online.

SUMMARY:LAMB - Charity and Entitlement in the Early Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:The Late Antique\, Medieval\, and Byzantine Workshop at Princeton University (LAMB) brings together graduate students from across departments and disciplines who study and research any region ca. 300-1500 CE\, and offers an opportunity to present and discuss their research with others from within and outside their fields. \nIn addition to providing scholarly support\, development\, and camaraderie\, LAMB prepares us to flourish after graduation. Pre-modernists are often tasked with teaching across geographies and time periods. Learning from each other through workshops provides an opportunity to put our research and our disciplines in conversation with one another. This is essential since medieval studies is unusually interdisciplinary by design\, necessity\, and institutional history. \nLAMB meetings are open to Princeton graduate students. \nRSVP is required. Please see the LAMB website for the RSVP form. \nFor questions\, please contact Abigail Sargent (ams5@princeton.edu) or Nick Churik (nchurik@princeton.edu).

SUMMARY:Art & Archaeology Conference - Amassing Perspectives: Recent Trends in Syriac Iconography
DESCRIPTION:Monastery wall paintings in Syria and Egypt\, the illuminations of the Rabbula Gospels\, and the architecture and decorations of churches in regions as diverse as Turkey and India are just some of the rich visual culture extant from the late antique and medieval Syriac tradition. Though there is a long tradition of studying Syriac visual culture\, there have been few monographs dedicated to the topic in recent decades. This conference gathers diverse scholars from across the globe whose research touches on all aspects of Syriac iconography and visual culture in any geographic region from late antiquity throughout the Middle Ages\, to roughly 1400 C.E. The conference will sum up the status quaestionis of research into Syriac art and architecture and spell out major desiderata for the field going forward. \nThe Syriac tradition has been rooted in politically sensitive regions in the world\, and its rich material heritage remains vulnerable to destruction and illegal sale on the black market. We hope to draw attention to this area and to provide a means and opportunity for the study of its artistic and architectural legacy. Given the academic significance of such a conference\, it is hoped that the conference proceedings will develop into an edited volume\, reflecting state-of-the-art research on Syriac visual culture. \nThe virtual conference will take place on September 17–18\, 2021. It is structured around roundtable workshop sessions for pre-circulated papers\, disseminated to registered participants approximately one month in advance. The conference is hosted by the Department of Art & Archaeology at Princeton University\, with additional support from the Committee for the Study of Late Antiquity (CSLA) and the Center for Collaborative History (CCH). \nThis is a virtual conference on Zoom\, and it is free and open to the public. Register for the Zoom conference and you will also receive access to the pre-circulated papers. Papers will be available at the beginning of September.

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Graduate Conference - Reclaiming Losses: Recovery\, Reconquest\, and Restoration in the Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:The Medieval Studies Graduate Conference will be held over Zoom on March 6\, 2021 with the following theme: “Reclaiming Losses: Recovery\, Reconquest\, and Restoration in the Middle Ages.” \nThis theme was developed prior to the global spread of the coronavirus. It is clear\, however\, that it now resonates with our collective preoccupations in entirely unexpected ways. We hope these resonances are uplifting and creative. We hope they will not only inspire new ways of thinking about the topic in its historical context\, but also that they will help point our present thoughts to the future and to the ultimate recovery we know is to come. \nThe conference’s keynote address will be given by Professor Hussein Fancy\, Associate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. \nThe CfP is provided below with a more detailed conference description. We warmly invite all interested contributors to submit a proposal abstract to Eric Medawar (emedawar@princeton.edu) by November 6\, 2020. If you have any questions\, please feel free to contact either of the conference organizers\, Eric Medawar (emedawar@princeton.edu) or Rachel Gerber (ragerber@princeton.edu). \n\nThe Program in Medieval Studies provides opportunities for graduate students from across departments and disciplines to participate in workshops\, lectures\, book clubs\, and the annual Medieval Studies Graduate Conference.

SUMMARY:Critical Approaches to Race and Ethnicity: Premodern Identities and the Trans-Atlantic Politics of Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 11\n11:00 am EST\nCord Whitaker\, Wellesley College\nWalter Pohl\, University of Vienna \nModerator: Michelle M. Sauer\, University of North Dakota \nPlease register below for this seminar to receive the Zoom instructions\, and be sure to add this event to your calendar.\nRegister here for the seminar with Cord Whitaker and Walter Pohl. \n\nThe Medievalists of Color\, the Program in Medieval Studies at Princeton University\, the Division for Identity Studies at the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences\, and the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study\,  launch a new series of online seminars entitled “Race\, Race-Thinking\, and Identity in the Middle Ages and Medieval Studies.” Funding has been provided by the Humanities Council at Princeton University. \nThe series of seminars convenes researchers based in North America and Europe in order to inspire and further establish reflections about race\, race-thinking\, and racialization among scholars of late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. A series of talks by Medievalists of Color will anchor what we hope will become a longer and wider conversation that spans various cultures and historiographies within Medieval Studies. The aim is to begin a discussion that will: 1) enrich scholarly debate about processes of racialization by bringing together approaches developed in the United States with those developed in other parts of the world; 2) move beyond simplistic either-or binaries (race/not race\, race/religion\, race/ethnicity\, and even US/Europe) and promote the development of more nuanced paradigms for racialization and its interaction\, overlap\, and interdependence with other forms of social categorization; 3) reflect on the diversity of approaches to and salience of race\, race-thinking and racialization in different parts of the world\, and different fields of study; and 4) investigate how Critical Race Theory and other (critical) forms of Identity Studies can inspire and inform historical study. \nWhile this conversation will begin with presentations by colleagues working in North America and Europe\, we hope to widen the geographical scope still further. This series on “Race\, Race-Thinking\, and Identity in the Middle Ages and Medieval Studies” strives to reach beyond disciplinary\, geographic\, and academic-cultural borderlines. Through intellectual exchange and nuanced multilateral criticism\, we seek to develop a richer and more productive understanding of the medieval past as well as its legacy in our modern age. \nInformation regarding future seminars in this lecture series will be updated soon.\nFor any questions please contact: Sarah Porter.

SUMMARY:Islamic\, Byzantine and Latin Exchange Systems in the Mediterranean (800-1150)
DESCRIPTION:Public Lecture on Zoom – Registration Required at: \nhttps://princeton.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iz9K7Ms0QRyYvNILhdrQLg \nHow did Mediterranean trade work\, and how did it change from a low point in the eighth century to the great trade cycle of the central Middle Ages? Storylines have long focused on Italian shipping\, but Egyptian documents and advances in archaeology show a far more complex picture. \nChris Wickham is Chichele Professor of Medieval History emeritus at the University of Oxford and Fellow of All Souls College\, and will be Director of the British School at Rome\, January through July 2021. He is the author of numerous books on medieval rural and urban Italy as well as highly acclaimed comparative histories of Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages\, most recently Medieval Europe (Yale UP\, 2016). He is currently writing a comparative history of the Mediterranean ca. 950–1180\, synthesizing textual and archeological evidence for long-distance and regional exchange.
