SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium - "Looking ahead to the past : the medial strata of a late medieval Icelandic MS"
DESCRIPTION:Join Medieval Studies for our first faculty colloquium of the spring with Sarah Anderson\, Senior Lecturer in English. \nLunch will be provided. Please RSVP. \nAM 152 fol. is a capacious double-columned vellum manuscript (c. 300 × 240 mm) made in Iceland during the first quarter of the sixteenth century (Stefán Karlsson 1970).  Chockful of sagas – there are eleven of them between its boards – the manuscript seems designed to impress as well as to do the social work of the book in late medieval Iceland.  This manuscript shows off the power of its patrons\, links it to influential models of bookmaking\, and valorizes a prose form that is almost definitional of Iceland herself. \nBut these are the easiest claims to make about AM 152 fol. \nHere are some of the knottier issues.  Unusually for a medieval Icelandic manuscript\, the name of a scribe who copied some of the sagas into it is known – but that identity is conveyed in an oblique formulation and covers only a part of the text in the book.  Despite the information provided by way of the scribe’s name\, it is not clear where the manuscript was copied or for whom.  The manuscript’s design changes – its grand aspirations are dropped and never fully resumed.  Plentiful marginal notes throughout show that the book was opened and used – but for what?  Had it ceased being a book for reading from and become a book for writing on? \nThis event is open to Princeton University faculty\, students\, and staff only. \n**Location is subject to change pending spring classroom assignments. \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) each semester to view recently acquired titles in all subject areas of Medieval Studies. The books for fall 2025 will be on display from the afternoon of Tuesday (February 24) through Thursday (February 26). Come browse!

SUMMARY:Department of English Medieval Colloquium: What does a Mirror Mean to Thomas Hoccleve?
DESCRIPTION:Taylor Cowdery (she/her) is Associate Professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nAbstract: This paper asks what scholars of the fifteenth-century poet Thomas Hoccleve could learn from recent conversations in trans theory—and vice versa—by recontextualizing and rereading Hoccleve’s depictions of uneasy embodiment and gender trouble in his autobiographical poetry. Students of Hoccleve have long recognized his playful subversion of the archetypical tropes of penance and tribulation in the Series and Male regle\, but the debt of his poetry to the tropes of Christian conversion\, especially as they appear in the work of St. Paul and St. Augustine\, has been less remarked. The first part of the paper considers the potential affordances of two of those tropes in particular—the trope of the darkened mirror\, and the trope of God’s voice—for the representation of certain dimensions of trans experience in a premodern context. The second part turns to Hoccleve’s reception of these tropes\, and to his seeming ambivalence about their utility for self-representation and for securing him the thing he most desires\, which is social recognition as the subject he feels himself to be rather than the subject the public insists that he is. I also touch in conclusion upon the resonance of Hoccleve’s pessimistic attitude with the pessimism of some recent trans theory\, especially work by Cameron Awkward-Rich and Hil Malatino. \n\n\n\nPresented by the Department of English.

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium - Necropolis as Palimpsest: the cemetery of Makli (Sindh\, Pakistan)\, ca. 1380-1660
DESCRIPTION:Join Medieval Studies for our next faculty colloquium with Fatima Quraishi\, Assistant Professor in Art & Archaeology. \nLunch will be provided. Please RSVP. \nEstablished in the late fourteenth century\, the Makli necropolis\, in what is now Sindh province\, Pakistan\, grew over three centuries to a site of more than 70 monumental tombs and mosques\, and hundreds\, if not thousands\, of graves. Tracing its history from a modest Ṣūfī site in the late fourteenth century to a monumental site that stretched over four kilometers in the late seventeenth century\, this talk explores how South Asian funerary spaces are dynamic spaces of sociability\, deeply integrated with their surrounding communities and landscapes. Makli’s architectural affiliations are diverse from the lithic architecture of medieval Gujarat and Rajasthan in India to monumental brick tombs of Timurid Central Asia and Iran\, reflecting its proximity to the Arabian Sea\, a threshold into the Subcontinent. Untangling the necropolis’ temporal and stylistic layers reveals how funerary sites were reshaped by accretional building and the influx of new artistic practices and technologies. Simultaneously\, Makli was also transformed by the emotional investments of visitors engaged in religious rituals and recreational activities. Thus\, rather than separating elite patronage from more humble devotions\, I argue that these were mutually constitutive practices\, necessary for sustaining historic monuments. In so doing\, this talk reframes long-standing perceptions of funerary monuments as isolated\, static containers of the past\, exemplified by iconic mausolea such as the Taj Mahal\, instead highlighting their vibrant lives and afterlives. \nThis event is open to Princeton University faculty\, students\, and staff only.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Comparative Diplomatics - Medieval Hebrew documents
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next session of Comparative Diplomatics on Monday\, March 16 (5-6:30pm\, JRR 397) with Eve Krakowski who will walk us through some Jewish legal documents. \nTo receive the image(s)\, edition(s)\, and translation(s) of the document(s) to be discussed\, sign up here. We look forward to seeing you there! \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 a few days ahead of time\, provide the group with an edition\, a translation and an image of the original.

SUMMARY:Comparative Diplomatics - Ottoman firmans
DESCRIPTION:More information will be available shortly. \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 a few days ahead of time\, provide the group with an edition\, a translation and an image of the original.

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Book Club - Collected Fictions
DESCRIPTION:The Medieval Studies Book Club’s last meeting of the year will take place on Thursday\, March 26 at 4:30pm in Scheide Caldwell House 209. \nWe will be discussing Jorge Luis Borges’s Collected Fictions. Borges (1899-1986)\, one of the most important Spanish-language writers of the 20th century and considered a major influence on a range of genres\, from philosophy to fantasy\, has also long been a favorite of medievalists. An amateur medievalist himself\, Borges has explored and re-imagined the worlds of medieval Iberia\, Northern Europe\, and the Middle East in some of his most famous stories. Historians across specializations have in turn found the imagery of Borges’s stories to be useful metaphors to illustrate historical problems. This month\, the Medieval Book Club joins this endeavor.This meeting is the final one of the year and will be open not only to students but also to postdocs and faculty. We would be honored if you would join us. \nPlease sign up here by March 19. Copies are available to pick up from Anna D’Elia in 206 Scheide Caldwell. \nIn particular\, we will focus on the following stories within the Collected Fictions: \n\n\n\nHakim\, the Masked Dyer of Merv\nTlön\, Uqbar\, Orbis Tertius\nThe Approach to al-Mu’tasim\nPierre Menard\, Author of the Quixote\nThe Circular Ruins\nThe Library of Babel\nThe Immortal\nThe Theologians\nThe House of Asterion\nAverroës’ Search\nThe Zahir\nIbn al-Ḥakam al-Bokhari\, Murdered in His Labyrinth\nThe Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths\nThe Aleph\nDreamtigers\nA Dialog About a Dialog\nArgumentum Ornithologicum\nOn Exactitude and Science\n\n(My thanks to Jesse Noilly for helping to compile this list.) \nThis meeting is for Princeton University students and faculty only.  \n\n

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium - "Reading by Candlelight in Late-Medieval Britain"
DESCRIPTION:Join Medieval Studies for our next faculty colloquium with Spencer Strub\, Lecturer in English and Associate Research Scholar in the Council of the Humanities. \nLunch will be provided. Please RSVP. \nMedieval people read\, and sometimes wrote\, at night. To do so\, they needed a source of light. In premodernity\, that light was invariably cast by burning organic matter—wood\, beeswax\, animal fat—that had been crafted for the purpose and brought to consumers through a web of economic processes: a single candle might reflect a history of animal husbandry and slaughter\, craft-guild organization\, huckster retail\, and routine domestic labor. Late medieval England provides a rich record of that multiform economy of light. The London guilds of Wax Chandlers and Tallow Chandlers\, for instance\, helped formalize the trade in relatively expensive forms of light starting in the late thirteenth century\, while local piecework across the country brought cheap rushlights into the homes of the poor. Collating such records with the glancing references to nocturnal reading and writing in English and Scottish poems\, letters\, and chronicles\, this talk offers a new history of the entanglement of textual culture and the preindustrial energy. \nThis event is open to Princeton University faculty\, students\, and staff only.

SUMMARY:Between Binaries: Liminality and the Dynamics of Alterity
DESCRIPTION:In ancient and modern societies\, we can trace a complex dynamic created by wide-ranging interaction within the spectrum of human diversity. It triggers closures in which social boundaries are drawn between ‘us’ and ‘them’. These divisions enable an unequal distribution of power and resources. Yet in the long run\, they rarely fulfill the expectations of all those who feel entitled to a share in the privileges conferred by the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion put into place. The boundaries therefore come under pressure\, are contested and/or subverted. Depending on the societal distribution of wealth and power they can get more rigid or more flexible. Based on recent research\, we aim for a better understanding of the strategies of distinction formulated and employed by individuals and groups. How and when do social categorisations become more or less salient\, and how does their varying salience impact their use\, meaning and history? We focus on spaces between more or less well-delineated entities in which individuals and groups may find themselves\, driven by the own ambitions and/or ill fates. The people in-between have to mobilize all their resources to face the challenge. They may become cultural brokers\, ambitious converts\, a badly-treated workforce or destitute outsiders. It is no surprise that people who in the past produced the most interesting written accounts on their own societies would understand themselves as in-betweeners. But does this self-understanding correspond to assessments by historians? For which social spaces and individual fates does ‘in-between binaries’ provide a productive category? This is the main question we would like to pursue. We aim at a differentiated understanding of the fates and options of those who were caught in the middle\, in between constructed alterities. Observing how people occupied places in-between binaries\, and how boundaries were maintained by enforcing binary oppositions can provide us with a window into the histories of categorial infrastructures in different cultures\, societies and periods. \n\n\n\nGuest Speakers:\nKate Cooper\, Royal Holloway\, London \nMaximilian Diesenberger\, Institute for Medieval Research\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \nStefan Esders\, Free University Berlin \nFrancesca Fiaschetti\, Excellence Cluster Eurasian Transformations\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \nBoris Fonarkov\, Excellence Cluster Eurasian Transformations\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \nMariia Golovina\, Excellence Cluster Eurasian Transformations\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \nKatharina Heyden\, Bern University \nConrad Leyser\, Oxford University \nSalvatore Liccardo\, Excellence Cluster Eurasian Transformations\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \nSierra Lomuto\, Rowan University \nNaoise MacSweeney\, University of Vienna \nNina Mirnig\, University of Vienna \nWalter Pohl\, University of Vienna \nPavlína Rychterová\, Davis Center\, Princeton University / Institute for Medieval Research\, Austrian Academy of Sciences \nCord Whitaker\, Wellesley College \n\nOrganized by Helmut Reimitz \n\n\n\nSponsors\n\nCenter for Collaborative History\nProgram in Contemporary European Politics and Society\nHumanities Council\nStanley J.

SUMMARY:Medieval Matters: Manuscript Culture and the Five Senses in the Middle Ages
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to the public\, however\, registration is required. \nMedieval Matters: Manuscript Culture and the Five Senses in the Middle Ages\, a full day roundtable\, brings together senior and junior faculty from leading East and West Coast institutions to present and discuss current research and methodologies in Old French studies. The roundtable will include a response by Ardis Butterfield (Yale)\, as well as presentations by Eliza Zingesser (Columbia)\, Mary Channen Caldwell (Penn)\, Henry Ravenhall (Berkeley)\, Ariane Bottex-Ferragne (NYU)\, Fay Slakey (Princeton)\, and Julien Stout (Princeton). \nThe title of the roundtable plays on the verb to matter\, the medieval French term matiere—used to designate thematic cycles (matiere de Rome\, de Bretagne\, etc.)—and the modern concept of materiality. The theme foregrounds the physicality of manuscripts\, textual fragments\, and amulets—objects produced\, circulated\, and handled in the Middle Ages—while also approaching poetry and literature as forms of “matter” that resist reduction to mere metaphor. The roundtable aims to explore how literary and poetic forms invite multisensory engagement\, often simultaneously. \nGuiding questions include: \n\nHow does a song\, narrative\, or idea move in and out of different forms of materiality in medieval French manuscript culture?\nHow does this (im)materiality interact with the senses in the production\, transmission\, and reception of medieval French culture?\nWhat happens when\, within a poem\, some senses stand in for others\, or when they converge into “multisensory nodes” that create an intermedial space—perhaps echoing an abstract or “vertical” realm?\nHow are (im)material or (non-)corporeal beings—or parts of beings—involved in the experience of manuscript culture?\n\n\nPLEASE RSVP \n\nThe event will conclude with this year’s Medieval Studies Faber Lecture presented by Marisa Galvez (Stanford University). \nPresented by the Department of French and Italian. Co-sponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies and the Center for Collaborative History. \n\nProgram \n9:00am-9:30am — Welcome and Registration \n9:30am-9:40am — Opening remarks (10 minutes max) \n10:00am-11:30am — Session 1: Touching\, Reading\, Grafting(20 minute presentations followed by 10 minute discussions) \nModerator: Prof. Simone Marchesi (Princeton\, French and Italian) \n\nHenry Ravenhall (UC Berkeley)\, Flamenca and the Erotics of Book-Touching\nFay Slakey (Princeton\, Comparative Literature)\, “De molt bons maitres avez lu”: The Materiality of Text in Two Tristan Narratives\nEliza Zingesser (Columbia)\, Grafting and the Roman de Saint Fanuel\n\n11:30am-1:00pm — Lunch Break (Lunch will be served on campus) \n1:00pm-2:30pm  —  Session 2: Multisensory verticalities  \nModerator: Prof. Daniel Heller-Roazen (Princeton\, Comparative Literature) \n\nAriane Bottex-Ferragne (NYU)\, “Pendu a sa diestre orelle li garira de ce mal”: Body\, Gesture\, and the Materiality of Old French Prayers\nMary Channen Caldwell (Penn)\, Curses\, Songs\, Dances: Moralizing through Senseless Voices and Impaired Bodies in a Medieval Story\nJulien Stout (Princeton\, French and Italian)\, Foreign Chaos: Naming “Formless Matter” in Old French Retellings of the Creation\n\n2:30pm-2:40pm  —  Break \n2:40 pm – 3:00 pm — Response \n\nArdis Butterfield (Yale)\n\n3:30 pm-5:00 pm —  Keynote Lecture (East Pyne 010) \n\nMaris Galvez (Stanford)

SUMMARY:Singing Matters: Song Ecologies from the Troubadours to the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Marisa Galvez\, Professor of French and Italian at Stanford University\, will present this year’s Medieval Studies Faber Lecture. \nPLEASE RSVP \nThis lecture serves as the keynote for “Medieval Matters: Manuscript Culture and the Five Senses in the Middle Ages\,” a full day roundtable which will bring together senior and junior faculty from leading East and West Coast institutions to present and discuss current research and methodologies in Old French studies. \nThis lecture analyzes how multisensorial aspects of troubadour lyric can be transferred into various matters such as precolonial gold objects and contemporary sculpture\, and thus aims to expand perspectives on song ecologies in medieval French and Occitan.  Lyric—as song put to music\, or words and sound together arranged into stanzas\, meters\, and rhymes—can be transferred into different media and historical situations through translation. \nThis approach to an expansive view of poetry is grounded in the work of contemporary translations of medieval lyric and can expand definitions of verse to global and indigenous song traditions. Writers and artists such as Édouard Glissant\, Augusto de Campos\, and Gérard Zuchetto and Jean-Luc Séverac anthologize and translate medieval poetry through an artisanal and sensual engagement with troubadour tropes such as entrebescar (interweaving) and compas (musical and metrical aligment). Their translations converge with the animism of Global South song\, whereby lyric selves are envoiced in a ritual manner that includes various persons – nonhumans\, supernatural beings\, and objects such as gold belts. \nUltimately these modern artists and writers enable us to see how lyric moves through various human and nonhuman selves and materials such as precolonial Philippine Gold as we recognize how lyric transference occurs in both medieval poetry and indigenous song in a conversant song ecology that maintains the distinctiveness and historical situation of both. Their translations of entrebescar and compas results in events of what I call “unthought medievalism” that enable the past to sing in the present in vital new ways.  \n\nA reception to follow the lecture.  This event is free and open to the public. \n\nPresented by the Program in Medieval Studies with support from the Eberhard L. Faber 1915 Memorial Fund in the Humanities Council. Co-sponsored by the Department of French and Italian.

SUMMARY:Comparative Diplomatics
DESCRIPTION:More information will be available shortly. \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 a few days ahead of time\, provide the group with an edition\, a translation and an image of the original.
