SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Making Things Up: Improvisation in the Illustrated  Cantigas de Santa María ”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Pamela Patton (Art and Archaeology) will present this lunchtime talk on Wednesday\, March 29. \nPatton’s project-in-progress examines artistic improvisation in the two illustrated Cantigas de Santa María manuscripts now in the Escorial (RBME\, MS T-I-1) and Florence (Bib. Naz. MS b.r. 20). The creativity of these visual narratives\, made to accompany the text and music of the Cantigas when they were set down in a pair of deluxe codices around 1280 at the Sevillian court of their patron\, King Alfonso X of Castile\, has been widely recognized. Yet the degree to which the illustrations diverge from their companion texts—embroidering\, revising\, even subverting the details of the written/sung narratives—suggests an autonomy and even haphazardness that stands at odds with the modern vision of a well-ordered royal scriptorium. Patton’s project postulates that the rampant improvisations of the Cantigas illustrations reflect both the freedom enjoyed and the pressure endured by an atelier struggling to satisfy a prolific royal patron under challenging conditions. \nPlease RSVP for this event here.

SUMMARY:The Rise of the Christian Economy in the post-Christian West
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 11 for a lecture with Ian Wood\, scholar of early medieval history and Professor emeritus at the University of Leeds\, on the Christian economy of the early medieval west. \nIn recent years a number of historians\, most notably Peter Brown\, have drawn attention to ‘the spiritual economy’.  They have pointed to the significance of piety in the transfer of wealth.  What has received less attention is the extent to which this had an impact on economic life in general.  This can be measured by the accumulation of ecclesiastical wealth.  Here\, the chronology of that accumulation is striking.  Whereas the underlying theology is fully set out in the fourth and fifth centuries\, the large-scale endowment of the Church seems to come more than a century later.  \nReception to follow lecture.  \nSponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and the Committee for the Study of Late Antiquity. \n\nPlease RSVP here. \nTo expand on the ideas presented in this broader lecture\, Professor Wood will also be giving a seminar on Friday\, April 14 from 2:30 – 4:00 pm in 103 Scheide Caldwell. All are welcome to RSVP for one or both events. More information on the seminar here. \n\nIan Wood is emeritus Professor of Early Medieval History\, having retired from the University of Leeds\, where he had taught for 39 years\, in 2015.  He has also held guest-professorships at Vienna and Aarhus\, and research fellowships in the Netherlands\, the British School at Rome\, the Collegium Budapest\, the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies\, and Tübingen.  He was involved in the foundation of the International Medieval Congress at Leeds.  From 1989-92 he was on the working party involved in setting up the European Science Foundation project on the Transformation of the Roman World\, of which he was one of the coordinators from 1992-8.  He has published on Gregory of Tours\, the Merovingians\, Missionary Hagiography\, the modern historiography of the early Middle Ages\, the Transformation of the Roman World\, and the Christian Economy of the early Medieval West\, and has co-authored volumes on the Ruthwell and Bewcastle monuments\, Avitus of Vienne and Columbanus.  He was elected fellow of the British Academy in 2019.

SUMMARY:The Wealth of Merovingian Bishops: The Case of the Desiderii
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will expand on ideas presented in Ian Wood’s lecture “The Rise of the Christian Economy in the post-Christian West” held on Tuesday\, April 11 at 4:30 pm in 010 East Pyne. \nScholars have long talked about the wealth of one Merovingian bishop\, Bertram of Le Mans.  But the wealth of Desiderius of Cahors has recently attracted attention\, because of the new edition of the Vita Desiderii.  And the bishop of Cahors is not the only wealthy member of the clan of the Desiderii in the late sixth and early seventh centuries:  apart from his two brothers and sisters\, we can point to the wealth of Desiderius of Auxerre\, and\, in the eighth century\, perhaps even to that of Abbo of Provence.  The evidence for the Desiderii allows us to see one massively rich Late Roman clan transferring its wealth to the Church in the seventh century.  \nSponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and the Committee for the Study of Late Antiquity. \n\nPlease RSVP here. \nYou do not need to have attended the lecture to attend this seminar. All are welcome to RSVP for one or both events. \n\nIan Wood is emeritus Professor of Early Medieval History\, having retired from the University of Leeds\, where he had taught for 39 years\, in 2015.  He has also held guest-professorships at Vienna and Aarhus\, and research fellowships in the Netherlands\, the British School at Rome\, the Collegium Budapest\, the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies\, and Tübingen.  He was involved in the foundation of the International Medieval Congress at Leeds.  From 1989-92 he was on the working party involved in setting up the European Science Foundation project on the Transformation of the Roman World\, of which he was one of the coordinators from 1992-8.  He has published on Gregory of Tours\, the Merovingians\, Missionary Hagiography\, the modern historiography of the early Middle Ages\, the Transformation of the Roman World\, and the Christian Economy of the early Medieval West\, and has co-authored volumes on the Ruthwell and Bewcastle monuments\, Avitus of Vienne and Columbanus.  He was elected fellow of the British Academy in 2019.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Translating Jurjani: Why read an eleventh-century text about Arabic poetics?”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Lara Harb (Near Eastern Studies) will present this lunchtime talk on Wednesday\, April 19. \nLast fall\, Harb spent the semester translating a work from Arabic entitled The Secrets of Eloquence and teaching it to a group of graduate students. Authored by the eleventh-century literary theorist and grammarian ʿAbd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī\, The Secrets constitutes a pivotal work in the development of classical Arabic literary criticism. In addition\, its theories and framework have a wider applicability that Harb contends can and should be part of larger conversations about poetics and aesthetics beyond Arabic. Harb will discuss some of the challenges of translating this work and making it accessible to an English-speaking audience and will attempt to answer the question: why read Jurjani? \nPlease RSVP for this event here.

SUMMARY:Medieval Song and the Sounding of World\, Body\, and Imagination
DESCRIPTION:LUDUS and the Program in Medieval Studies present “Medieval Song and the Sounding of World\, Body\, and Imagination:” a lecture-performance by Sarah Kay and Concordian Dawn.   \n“Almost everything we might wish to know about the sound of medieval music is lost to us\,” warns Daniel Leech-Wilkinson. Through the double medium of discursive speculation and live performance\, Sarah Kay and Concordian Dawn set out in this lecture-performance not to know medieval song – we agree that is not possible – but to relive some of its affective realities\, which we locate not in the objective worlds of time\, place\, or historical circumstance\, but in dynamic interactions between body and world inflected by imagination. The sounds of this song are conjured not just by birds and fountains\, but by celestial beasts and alluring sirens. Some of these sung texts represent the singing subject captivated by beauty\, others struggling between life and death\, others at the limits of a dream world\, or ecstatic with joy. \nLUDUS is a Collaborative Humanities Project from the Humanities Council. \nPlease RSVP here. Reception to follow event.  \nSarah Kay bio: \nCurrently Professor Emerita at New York University and a Life Fellow of Girton College Cambridge\, Sarah Kay has taught French and Medieval Occitan at the universities of Liverpool\, Cambridge\, and Princeton\, as well as at NYU. Her many publications range widely over medieval literature in French\, Occitan\, and Latin\, especially in relation to medieval and modern thought. Her most recent book\, Medieval Song from Aristotle to Opera\, was published by Cornell in 2022 together with a companion website that hosts experimental performances by Christopher Preston Thompson and Concordian Dawn of many of the songs discussed in her book. \nConcordian Dawn bio: \nConcordian Dawn specializes in twelfth- through fourteenth-century vocal repertoire\, drawing on primary source material and focusing on socio-philosophical similarities between texts from centuries ago and the mindset of modern society. In so doing\, Concordian Dawn produces a musical experience accessible to contemporary audiences\, relating the human condition of the past to the familiar experiences of the present. The ensemble’s “mesmerizing” (Early Music America) debut album\, Fortuna Antiqua et Ultra (MSR Classics)\, was released in December of 2021 to critical acclaim\, and in July of 2022\, Cornell University Press published a collaborative book-recording project between the ensemble and medieval studies scholar\, Sarah Kay\, entitled Medieval Song from Aristotle to Opera. Since its inaugural concert in 2012\, Concordian Dawn has performed regularly on the east coast and annually with Gotham Early Music Scene\, NYC. The ensemble has given performances and led workshops and lectures for Princeton University\, New York University\, the University of Pennsylvania\, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music\, the Universities of California-Berkeley and Davis\, Bard College\, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York\, the Santa Cruz Baroque Festival\, and the Medieval Academy of America\, among others. \nDetails of Concordian Dawn: \nConcordian Dawn\, Ensemble for Medieval Music \nAmber Evans\, soprano \nClifton Massey\, countertenor \nDavid Dickey\, recorder and countertenor \nThomas McCargar\, baritone \nNiccolo Seligmann\, vielle \nChristopher Preston Thompson\, artistic director\, tenor and medieval harp \n  \n

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Book Club: Thou Art the Man: The Masculinity of David in the Christian and Jewish Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our first session of the Medieval Studies Book Club! Our book club is a friendly environment to discuss recent works in the field and connect with fellow travelers across the university\, all while enjoying dinner. All graduate students with an interest in the material are invited\, no expertise required! \nFor our first session\, we will be reading Ruth Mazo Karras’s Thou Art the Man: The Masculinity of David in the Christian and Jewish Middle Ages (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2021). \nEveryone who registers for our meeting will receive a copy of the book with the expectation that they join our meeting ready to discuss. If you are interested\, please email Albert Kohn at ak0429@princeton.edu by September 8. You are invited as well to suggest books you would like to discuss at future meetings. \nThis meeting is for graduate students only. \n\nAbout Thou Art the Man: \n“How do we approach the study of masculinity in the past?” Ruth Mazo Karras asks. Medieval documents that have come down to us tell a great deal about the things that men did\, but not enough about what they did specifically as men\, or what these practices meant to them in terms of masculinity. Yet no less than in our own time\, masculinity was a complicated construct in the Middle Ages. \nIn Thou Art the Man\, Karras focuses on one figure\, King David\, who was important in both Christian and Jewish medieval cultures\, to show how he epitomized many and sometimes contradictory aspects of masculine identity.  In Jewish and Christian traditions he was warrior\, lover\, and friend\, founder of a dynasty and a sacred poet. But how could an exemplar of virtue also be a murderer and adulterer? How could a physical weakling be a great warrior? How could someone whose claim to the throne was not dynastic be a key symbol of the importance of dynasty? And how could someone who dances with slaves be noble? \nExploring the different configurations of David in biblical and Talmudic commentaries\, in Latin\, Hebrew\, and vernacular literatures across Europe\, in liturgy\, and in the visual arts\, Thou Art the Man offers a rich case study of how ideas and ideals of masculinity could bend to support a variety of purposes within and across medieval cultures. \n

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: "How Japan Became Known as the Land of the Rising Sun: The Enduring Influence of the Seventeen Commandments of 604"
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Fall 2023. \nThe Seventeen Commandments of Prince Shōtoku (574-622) enthroned Buddhism as the basis for the monarchy\, distanced Japan from the Chinese model of history\, and ultimately caused Japan to be identified as the “Land of the Rising Sun.” That notion\, long thought to be a simple statement of Japan’s geography\, served as a declaration of political independence as well. Join us on October 31 to hear Professor Thomas Conlan (East Asian Studies and History)  present the lunchtime talk\, How Japan Became Known as the Land of the Rising Sun: The Enduring Influence of the Seventeen Commandments of 604. \nPlease RSVP Here. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “El Greco - Architect?”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Fall 2023. Charlie Barber\, Donald Drew Egbert Professor of Art and Archaeology\, will present this lunchtime talk on Tuesday\, November 28. \nToday\, Domēnïkos Theotokópoulos (El Greco)\, ca. 1540-1614\, is primarily known today for his extraordinary and distinctive paintings. In the seventeenth century\, attention was also drawn to his relationship with architecture. Over the past century\, the nature of this architectural identity has generated a regular\, slight\, but unresolved conversation. In this paper\, Professor Barber would like to return to this topic\, and consider what it was that Theotokópoulos wanted from architecture and why it was possible for his near contemporaries to describe him as an architect. \nPlease RSVP Here. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:The Ovide moralisé: The Divine Comedy of Medieval France?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nMatthieu Boyd (’03)\, Professor of Literature and Chair of the School of the Humanities\, Fairleigh Dickinson University \nSarah-Jane Murray (*03)\, Associate Professor of Great Texts & Creative Writing\, Honors College\, Baylor University \nThe anonymous fourteenth-century Ovide moralisé (“Moralized Ovid”) is a translation into French of Ovid’s Metamorphoses and much of the accumulated mythographical commentary in Latin. It gathers many sources and adds to them\, forming a massive and coherent\, if not seamless\, whole that invites comparison with Dante’s masterwork in various ways: its scope (the OM is actually five time longer)\, its use of the vernacular\, its creative relationship to the Classics (the OM is guided by Ovid as Dante is by Virgil)\, and its Christian mission. Beyond that\, without necessarily claiming that the OM matches Dante in poetic elegance\, the comparison provokes us to reassess the OM’s place in French and medieval literary history\, which has not been properly appreciated since the text could not be read by almost any modern audiences – until now. This presentation is associated with the first-ever modern translation of the Ovide moralisé (Boydell & Brewer\, 2023)\, the result of a collaboration that had its genesis at Princeton. We include discussion of the manuscripts\, some of which have now been fully digitized and permit extended study of text-image relations\, and the OM’s strategies of translation and interpretation. \n\nThis event is sponsored by the Department of French & Italian and the Program in Medieval Studies.

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.
