SUMMARY:The Justinianic Plague: Apocalypse or Overblown?
DESCRIPTION:Pandemics in the Past: from Prehistory to (almost) the Present \nSeminar series of  the Program in Medieval Studies and the Climate Change and History Research Initiative\, supported by  Humanities Council. \nThe impact of the Justinianic Plague (c. 541-750) has recently become the focus of a heated academia and media debate\, which will likely intensify in the context of COVID-19. For the last several decades some scholars have made the plague into a demographic catastrophe\, which caused the deaths of tens of millions – up to half the population of the Mediterranean. These interpretations also identify plague as a major factor in broader historical changes in late antiquity including the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam\, which are big narratives the media magnifies through catastrophic thinking. Using innovative interdisciplinary sources\, however\, recent scholarship argues that plague was largely inconsequential to historical change over the long-term. The talk will expand upon this new position\, which has challenged the standard narrative through a series of articles published over the last year. It discusses the most glaring problems with the traditional view of the Justinianic Plague\, surveys the diverse independent sources that suggest plague did not have a dramatic effect at a societal level\, and outlines a few future paths for research. \n  \nFor registration and Zoom ID for this seminar\, go to \nRegistration URL: https://princeton.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0pcOutqj8uGdYPBkXxeQGAfxhgxgMNX51l

SUMMARY:Avoiding Plague like the Plague: Some Pathogenic Context for Late Antique Pandemics
DESCRIPTION:Pandemics in the Past: from Prehistory to (almost) the Present \nPlague gets a lot of attention. It’s earned\, but it’s important to keep in mind that no outbreak of Yersinia pestis\, premodern or not\, has ever occurred in a vacuum. In late antiquity and early modernity\, plague occurred alongside a multitude of infectious diseases\, both old and new. Crucially\, the aggregate demographic toll (in either period) of those diseases\, both endemic and epidemic\, may have rivalled that of plague. This paper attempts to tease out some epidemiological context for first-pandemic plague. It focuses in particular on diseases resembling malaria and smallpox\, and emphasizes the importance of collaborative multidisciplinarity when pursuing the premodern history of pathogenic disease. \nSeminar series of  the Program in Medieval Studies and the Climate Change and History Research Initiative\, supported by  Humanities Council. \nFor registration and Zoom ID\, go to \nRegistration URL: https://princeton.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIvcu2orj4qGdTIMPLIUXSDCDmbtoxOZ2wd

SUMMARY:The ‘Plague of Cyprian’: Sources\, Problems\, Origins and the ‘Crisis of the Third Century'
DESCRIPTION:Pandemics in the Past: from Prehistory to (almost) the Present \nSeminar series of  the Program in Medieval Studies and the Climate Change and History Research Initiative\, supported by  Humanities Council. \nDuring the third century CE\, the Roman Empire experienced military anarchy\, civil wars\, rampant inflation\, famines\, dramatic changes in its religious landscape\, bloody persecutions of minority groups\, and raids and invasions from beyond the frontier. While the ‘crisis’ model has been hotly contested ever since Alföldi 1967 characterized the challenges the Roman Empire faced during the third century as ‘Weltkrise’\, and several more detailed case studies adduced examples of regional stability and even flourishing economies\, it is clear that the Empire had to battle grave threats to its existence which resulted in profound changes paving the way for late antiquity. Most debated in scholarship have been the reasons for these simultaneous predicaments the Roman Empire found itself in around the middle of the third century. Recent research has suggested that a pandemic\, the so-called Cyprianic plague\, triggered these cascading shocks. This paper will survey the main evidence we have for this plague and discuss its proposed origin\, timeline\, and impact on the course of Roman history. \nFor registration and Zoom ID for this seminar\, go to \nRegistration URL: https://princeton.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYkduGoqzksHdEc7XI88CJXmP2Rl0tcbTX6

SUMMARY:Plague: From the Late Neolithic to the Black Death
DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in palaegenetics have taken our knowledge of plague history to new heights — in particular\, in relation to the long and complex history of plague evolution. The talk will survey the main contours of plague evolution in a very long run\, by focusing on its mysterious origins and outbreaks in Late Neolithic Eurasia\, and its subsequent development until the infamous Black Death of the fourteenth century. \nPandemics in the Past: from Prehistory to (almost) the Present \nSeminar series of  the Program in Medieval Studies and the Climate Change and History Research Initiative\, supported by  Humanities Council. \nFor registration and Zoom ID\, go to \nRegistration URL: https://princeton.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrf-qqrTkrGdfFu2KMO01oKhwIkOgPpJ9P

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL MEETING: LAMB group - Pre-Modern Pandemics in History\, Science\, and Popular Media
DESCRIPTION:LAMB – Late Antique\, Medieval\, and Byzantine Workshop \nWe are pleased to announce that we will host a special session of our LAMB workshop on April 7 via Zoom. \nThis topical seminar\, entitled “Pre-Modern Pandemics in History\, Science\, and Popular Media\,” will be led by Princeton’s own Dr. Merle Eisenberg\, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center in Annapolis\, MD.   \n \nIn order to join us\, just click the following link and follow the instructions: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/190833037 \n———————————————————————————————— \nThe ongoing Coronavirus Pandemic has significantly increased interest in past pandemics and scholars and journalists have written countless articles in the last  few weeks comparing our current pandemic to various historical pandemics. Most of the popular press articles rely on outdated historical ideas about pandemics or on simplistic scientific explanations. This seminar offers a way for historians to contribute to the discussion of pandemics by using scientific approaches to make historical arguments. The goal is for all of us to discuss useful ways to approach questions of disease and pandemics\, rather than having me lecture. \nThe seminar will begin with the discussion of a recent science audience article on the Justinianic Plague (c. 541-750 CE) co-written by Dr. Eisenberg: both its pros and cons. Various topics of interest to discuss might include: building and using scientific datasets\, making historical arguments with data\, writing for a scientific audience\, marketing your work to press\, and how you could discuss pandemics today. \nDr. Eisenberg encourages attendees to find the Supplementary Information document discussing how the information was compiled. More about the Justinianic Plague can also be found in a complementary history audience article in Past & Present. \n

SUMMARY:Puzzling out the 'Fleury Playbook'
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Fleury Playbook’ (Orléans BM 201 pp. 176–243) has been at the centre of discussions about medieval drama for almost two centuries.  Made in the second half of the twelfth century\, and containing a collection of ten plays\, this book is unique in its size and nature. \nThe manuscript provokes many questions: who made it?  Who used it?  What is its institutional background (St-Benoit-sur-Loire at Fleury or not)? Who performed these plays? \nIn this workshop we shall consider the manuscript from palaeographical points of view (decorated capitals\, text hand\, musical notation) and in terms of its content.  Besides looking at the diverse ways in which music is used as a basis for expression in these ten plays\, we shall focus on one – the Ordo Rachelis – as an example of contemporary social critique.  Everyone is welcome to bring their own ideas and questions! \nThe LUDUS Working Group is delighted to host Prof. Rankin as part of our ongoing exploration of intersections between medieval art\, music\, and performance. \nPlease RSVP to Beatrice Kitzinger (bkitzinger@princeton.edu) and Jamie Reuland (jlgreenb@princeton.edu) for a copy of Prof. Rankin’s recommended preparatory reading. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:Medieval and Early Modern Global Latin: the Eurasian Latin Archive
DESCRIPTION:Latin texts concerning East Asia in the late Middle Ages and early Modern period\, written by merchants\, explorators\, missionaries\, are a research subject of the Siena Center for Comparative Studies named after the medievalist and Koreanist I Deug-Su. This project focuses on the international language that Latin was as a privileged material to analyze for illuminating cultural transfer. Antoine Meillet reminded that « Jusqu’au seuil de l’époque moderne quiconque a pensé n’a pensé qu’en latin. Les mêmes maîtres ont enseigné d’un bout à l’autre de l’Europe\, de l’Espagne et de la France jusqu’à la Pologne\, de la Scandinavie à la Sicile; les étudiants ont voyagé d’un pays à l’autre; les mêmes livres ont été lus. L’Occident a été pendant plus de mille ans le domaine de l’unité intellectuelle ». Some years ago Françoise Waquet masterfully demonstrated in her The Empire of a Sign how much Latin was the most recognizable mark of European identity\, according to the Polish motto Europe ends where Latin ends and Diderot’s word Latin is the European scholars’ language or\, as Leibniz wrote\, the lingua Europaea universalis et durabilis.  But it was not really « just » Europe ! On the contrary\, current researches and handbooks such as Leonhardt Latein. Geschichte einer Weltsprache and Korenjack Geschichte der neulateinischen Literatur underlined the wide diffusion of Latin outside Europe\, and one of the merits of their overviews is that they enhance the cultural role of the scientific and religious literature\, such as the so called late or baroque scholasticism\, the treatises of mathematics\, hydraulics\, natural sciences and science theory\, the Jesuit-theater\, and so on. Such an enlargement of scope completely changes the panorama of a history of Latin as a cultural language. \nAnd this was not exclusively the colonial history of an Imperial culture. As Yasmik Haskell recently wrote\, « Latin and its meanings were regularly contested\, negotiated\, locally appopriated\, and sometimes cunningly subverted in the early modern period. There are\, in short\, plenty of other stories to be told about Latin since the Renaissance […] First\, there are the stories in the Latin voices of others\, of marginal European\, women (european and non-European)\, indigenous and colonial peoples\, and even slaves. These may be fruitfully compared and contrasted with stories in Latin about others”.

SUMMARY:Metrical Latin lives of Mohammed
DESCRIPTION:The Latin verse lives of Mohammed appear suddenly between the eleventh and twelfth centuries\, developing in a novelistic direction the hints of the prose biographies or biographical passages written between VIII and X centuries. Embrico of Mainz (XI c.) and Walter of Compiègne (XII c.) go much beyond the educational and apologetic necessities raised by the crusades culture\, and show a special attention to the scenic and narrative structure. The literary climate nourished by tenth-century poetic hagiography\, by the Arab tales of Peter Alfonsi and by eleventh-century novels combines to form a relatively homogeneous narrative\, which in the period of the Crusades is accompanied by more or less imaginary elements and sequential rewriting of the basic episodes. Yet only versification\, which reflects the influences of the satirical style in vogue from the twelfth century on and of a naturalistic and erotic lexicon\, allows the European literature of the lower Middle Ages to transform Muhammad into a brilliant and lucky picaro and Islam into an imaginary republic of sexual liberation.

SUMMARY:Altering Tempus; or\, Timeplay and the Medieval Manuscript
DESCRIPTION:Beatrice Kitzinger and Jamie Reuland are excited to be hosting a workshop with Prof. Andrew Albin from Fordham University on the intersection of medieval time\, music\, and manuscripts (please see abstract below). \nThis is the inaugural event of the new collaborative project LUDUS\, a working group devoted to the active\, performed\, creative and re-creative study of pre-modern culture. The group brings together scholars interested in developing methodological and technical tools to study the Middle Ages in its live\, plastic\, and time-bound dimensions\, and means to foster collaboration between scholars and artists (musicians\, directors\, composers\, visual artists\, curators)\, and to promote the visibility of Medieval Studies on campus through programming in the performing arts. \nTo attend and receive the prereading\, please RSVP to jlgreenb@princeton.edu\, bkitzinger@princeton.edu. \nWe welcome faculty\, graduate students\, and undergraduates to participate in this workshop\, and hope you will invite any students or colleagues that might be interested. \n  \n  \nAltering Tempus; or\, Timeplay and the Medieval Manuscript \nMonday\, Nov. 25\, 12:00–1:20. Scheide Caldwell 209 \nShort readings to be pre-circulated \n  \nFor performers versed in modern notation\, the initial encounter with medieval music is disorienting\, especially with regard to duration: rhythms that look familiar on the page destabilize as note values expand and contract following rules of imperfection and alteration. This durational flux grows even stranger when we seek guidance from medieval musica practica treatises\, whose technically dense explications of notational systems dilate alongside abstruse discourses on the nature of signification\, number\, and time. In this interactive workshop\, rather than smooth out these temporal perturbations\, we will conspire to cultivate and amplify them as a disorienting mode of historical encounter\, employing the manuscript as an activated/activating instrument through which time courses\, expands\, attracts\, and enfolds. With the help of Jean de Murs\, Reinhart Koselleck\, and André Lepicki\, we will build a creative laboratory through the singing of the thirteenth-century conductus “O qui fontem gratie\,” whose elements invite us to play—with time\, with the past\, with history\, with sound\, with theory\, with historical actors\, and with each other.
