ABSTRACT Feudalism has been an important topic of discussion within medieval studies in recent years. This article aims to analyze the characteristics and evolution of feudalism in the kingdom of Galicia between the ninth and twelfth centuries. My research provides significant results from the study of elements of power with the society that was developing. This study describes the origins of the feudal mechanism of dependency in the ninth century, as well as the development and progressive attachment to aristocracy in the mid eleventh century. Furthermore, it investigates the construction of feudal vassalage relationships, traditionally known as institutional, particularly present from the first quarter of the twelfth century onwards.

ABSTRACT The study of non-adult individuals and the concept of childhood are essential for deepening our knowledge of past communities. Adro Vello (O Grove, Pontevedra) is considered one of the most representative and iconic necropolises of medieval Galicia. However, research on the human skeletal remains has so far been scarce and has not previously focused on what osteoarchaeological analyses can reveal about lifestyle. Here we study the human skeletal remains recovered in a 2017 archaeological campaign. The results show a Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI) of fourteen – seven articulated individuals, and MNI of seven among disarticulated skeletal remains – eight of whom are non-adults (including six individuals ≤ one year). The analysis in this article revolves around the management of cemetery space, the relationship of burials with earlier and later structures, and, especially, the high presence of individuals under the age of one year in a Christian cemetery, where burial of the unbaptised would not be allowed. This demonstrates the importance of archaeological and bioarchaeological study in detecting ex norma practices and in the characterisation of childhood.

ABSTRACT This essay focuses on two previously unpublished photographs of the Dream of Charlemagne, one of most famous illuminations from the twelfth-century Codex Calixtinus (Santiago Cathedral Library, MS. CF 14), which allow the reconstruction of details of its composition that seemed to have been lost. The search for these photographs goes parallel with an immersion in the archive of the Seminario de Estudos Galegos, a research institution that was preparing the first modern edition of the Codex Calixtinus, including photographs of its illuminations, when the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936. The Seminario was closed down after the war by the Francoist regime leaving the scattered galleys of the Codex Calixtinus edition as its last ruined monument. I propose a Benjaminian pilgrimage through the archive of the Seminario, taking the Dream of Charlemagne as a “dialectical image” allowing us to meditate on the historical processes to which this illumination bears witness. The article engages with the theory and materiality of photography, the archaeology of archives, and the significance of medieval manuscripts as national emblems in the twentieth century. As a coda, it reveals the medieval model inspiring Paul Klee's Angelus Novus, turned by Walter Benjamin into an image of his “angel of history.”
这篇文章的重点是以前未发表的两张查理曼梦的照片，这是12世纪卡利克斯提努斯抄本(圣地亚哥大教堂图书馆，MS. CF 14)中最著名的插图之一，它们可以重建其构图细节，这些细节似乎已经丢失了。寻找这些照片的同时，还沉浸在加莱戈斯神学院(Seminario de Estudos Galegos)的档案中，这家研究机构正在准备《卡利斯提努斯抄本》(Codex Calixtinus)的第一个现代版本，其中包括其插图的照片，当时西班牙内战于1936年爆发。战争结束后，佛朗哥政权关闭了神学院，留下了《卡利克斯提努斯法典》(Codex Calixtinus)版本的零星帆船作为最后的废墟纪念碑。我提出了一个本雅明的朝圣之旅，通过神学院的档案，把查理曼之梦作为一个“辩证的图像”，让我们思考这个启示见证的历史进程。本文涉及摄影的理论和物质性，档案考古学，以及20世纪中世纪手稿作为国家象征的意义。作为结尾，它揭示了启发保罗·克利的《新天使》的中世纪模式，被沃尔特·本雅明变成了他的“历史天使”形象。

ABSTRACT With the exception of the Camiño and the lyric production of the thirteenth century, Galicia has sometimes been marginalized in international scholarship on medieval Iberia. Our aim in this special issue has therefore been to recenter it, while in the process decentering the pilgrimage route to Santiago as a singular prism for approaching the region’s medieval history, prioritizing alternative angles on the history and culture of northwestern Iberia. The articles presented here offer an antidote to the perception of Galicia as a quintessentially traditional, almost mythically “history-free” land, suggesting instead a society that, beyond the Camiño, was often characterized in the medieval period by cultural change and exchange, by invention and innovation, and by richly varied human landscapes.

ABSTRACT Towards the end of the thirteenth century an Aragonese provincial master’s duties were of an administrative, rather than a military, nature. There was no precise demarcation of responsibilities between the master and heads of convents, but the provincial master Berenguer de Cardona was much involved in the administration of Templar estates, seeking to dispose of unprofitable properties, creating an extensive lordship in northern Valencia, dealing with problems of rent arrears, and continuing the task of resettlement. Much time was also spent in defending Templar rights and privileges in disputes with the Crown, the episcopate, tenants, and others. The Order did, however, provide military service, especially in 1304, when Valencia was under threat: Berenguer displayed an aggressive attitude towards Granada. His relations with his subordinates and his superiors were marked by only minor disagreements, and for the last ten years of his magistracy he held the post of visitor in the whole Peninsula. His position also gave him a role in Aragonese politics. In 1301 he caused offence by his conduct at the Catalan Cortes, and the king unsuccessfully sought his removal from office; but for most of his magistracy his relations with Jaime II of Aragon (r. 1291–1327) were amicable.
摘要十三世纪末，一名阿拉贡省省长的职责属于行政性质，而非军事性质。修道院院长和修道院院长之间没有明确的职责划分，但省级院长贝伦格·德·卡多纳（Berenguer de Cardona）大量参与圣殿骑士庄园的管理，寻求处置无利可图的财产，在巴伦西亚北部建立了一个大范围的领主职位，处理拖欠租金的问题，并继续执行重新安置的任务。在与王室、主教、租户和其他人的纠纷中，也花费了大量时间来捍卫圣殿骑士的权利和特权。然而，骑士团确实提供了军事服务，尤其是在1304年，当时巴伦西亚受到威胁：贝伦格尔对格拉纳达表现出了咄咄逼人的态度。他与下属和上级的关系只有轻微的分歧，在他担任法官的最后十年里，他在整个半岛担任访客。他的职位也使他在阿拉贡政治中发挥了作用。1301年，他因在加泰罗尼亚科尔特斯的行为而引起冒犯，国王要求罢免他，但没有成功；但在他执政的大部分时间里，他与阿拉贡的詹姆二世（1291-1327年在位）的关系都很友好。

ABSTRACT Honey, a staple product in premodern societies, has been too often overlooked by historical research. The present article focuses on a moment when the honey trade was in decline in the Crown of Aragon (c. 1440-1570). After the heyday of exports to the Levant of the late fourteenth century, supply was now mostly reserved to domestic consumption. Through the analysis of different fiscal sources from Valencia and Barcelona, this study addresses the principal supplying regions in the Crown of Aragon, the actors involved, and the means of transport in the honey market.

ABSTRACT This work addresses the question of the intended audience of the Ghāyat al-Ḥakīm, the famous Andalusi treatise on magic, better known by its Latin moniker, Picatrix. I propose that a substantial portion of the Ghāya's readers were scribes, or kuttāb, in the tenth-century caliphate of Cordova. Many of these scribes were considered udabāʾ; that is, those who possessed adab, an elusive yet ubiquitous term in Islamic culture. The concept of adab, scribal culture, and magic traveled to al-Andalus in similar ways and at similar times, and they reached their apex in two figures: Ibn Rabbih and al-Qurṭubī. I argue that, in the Ghāya's spells and rituals, these kuttāb and udabāʾ could find not only a shortcut to acquire abilities vital to their work but also more dubious ways to promote themselves in a difficult political environment. Further, I show that sections of the Ghāya potentially allowed these officials to establish contact with the “supreme scribe,” the personified planet Mercury, who is closely related to the mythical sage Hermes Trismegistus.

ABSTRACT Este artículo presenta la edición, traducción y estudio de una unidad textual formada por dos poemas escritos por el poeta Shelomoh de Piera y dos poemas en respuesta a los anteriores de Yosef ben rabí Ashtruk ha-Levi. Aparentemente estos poemas giran en torno al “mal vino” producido en 1417 en Monzón, y así han sido leídos tradicionalmente. Sin embargo, en este artículo propongo un análisis de los poemas atendiendo a su contexto cultural en el que se muestra que el tema principal de los mismos tiene más que ver con el fenómeno de la conversión al cristianismo, un tema muy presente en los cancioneros hebreos del siglo XV.
摘要本文介绍了由诗人谢洛莫·德·皮埃拉（Shelomoh de Piera）创作的两首诗和两首回应约瑟夫·本·拉比·阿什特鲁克·哈列维（Yosef Ben Rabi Ashtruk ha-Levi）之前的诗的诗歌组成的文本单位的编辑、翻译和研究。显然，这些诗歌围绕着1417年季风期间产生的“坏酒”展开，因此传统上是这样阅读的。然而，在这篇文章中，我根据诗歌的文化背景对其进行了分析，表明诗歌的主要主题更多地与皈依基督教的现象有关，这是15世纪希伯来歌曲集中非常常见的主题。

ABSTRACT Research on manuscripts from early medieval Septimania and Catalonia has become quite sophisticated, but significant and detailed work remains to be done. The ongoing digitization of thousands of manuscript fragments, preserved especially in public, ecclesiastical, and private archives and libraries in Catalonia, will furnish a rich collection of unknown items that will allow for the reconstruction of lost testimonies of the region’s religious culture from the ninth century onwards. This paper shows how modern fragmentology, based on systematic digitization and comparison of scattered pieces, enables us to rediscover and write the history of the Carolingian homiletic collections in the south-western periphery of the Carolingian empire formed by Septimania and Catalonia—both in general and in the specific case of the autochthonous Homiliary of Luculentius.

ABSTRACT During the fifteenth century, Castilian nobles were subject to criticism in chronicles and other literary texts. Titled nobles, especially those who were closest to the royal court, were particularly hard-hit by these discourses. Some of these aristocrats stand out for the intensity of the diatribes suffered, especially Juan Pacheco, Marquis of Villena, whose political influence would, to a large extent, shape political relations in Castile in the second half of the fifteenth century. The time is ripe for a reassessment of the public image of this figure from a new perspective on medieval political discourses and criticism. The aim of this study, therefore, is to analyse the de-legitimising strategies deployed around his figure, in relation to both his political role in the kingdom at large and his local influence in various cities and regions.

The aim of this study, therefore, is to analyse the de-legitimising strategies deployed around his figure, in relation to both his political role in the kingdom at large and his local influence in various cities and regions.","PeriodicalId":43210,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"276 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42576397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
