Abstract:The Jews of al-Andalus experienced two interconnected military conquests that constituted major shifts in the history of medieval Iberia. The Almohad invasion of 1148 resulted in mass displacement of Jews, many of whom fled to the Christian kingdoms of northern Spain and Provence in modern-day southern France. Subsequently, the rapid territorial expansion of the Christian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon following the 1212 Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa ensured that by the mid-thirteenth century, much of the remaining Jewish population in al-Andalus was now living under Christian rule. However, changes in political territory did not necessitate total cultural transformation. Indeed, legacies of Jewish life in al-Andalus continued to permeate the culture of its diaspora, but discontinuities also emerged with each succeeding generation. Ultimately, the perpetuation of cultural symbols such as ideas of exceptionalism within the diaspora, use of the Arabic language, references to admired figures of the Andalusi past, and adaptations to professional activity that enabled the continuation of trading practices demonstrates the strong presence of the idea of al-Andalus in the identity of the medieval Jewish communities of twelfth- and thirteenth-century Christian Spain and Provence.

Abstract:This study seeks to uncover the letter writing—and letter collecting—practices of both the ninth-century abbot Lupus of Ferrières and the creators of the principal surviving manuscript of his letters (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Latin 2858). I will do so through a close analysis of the letters and their manuscript context. My central contention is that letters, as well as the activities of letter writing and collecting, must be studied alongside the context of their preservation—despite the trend that has become common among historians and editors to dissociate them. Many modern editions of Lupus's letters, for instance, eschew manuscript presentation and seek to restore the "original" letter chronology. I propose that the relationship between letters and their preservation is closely tied to individual and social memory. A preservative intent is, naturally, discernible in letter collecting, but I will argue that the desire to remember and be remembered was also a significant factor in motivating Lupus's letter writing: the letter itself serves an important memorative social function. Indeed, the letter fulfils a broader preservative function, conserving and recontextualizing information. Furthermore, both letter and collection draw upon a vocabulary of memory to communicate with their audiences. In this respect, the commemorative value of Lupus's letters within an epistolary memorial, such as the Paris manuscript, derive from the social contexts of their composition, transmission, and receipt.
摘要:本研究旨在揭示九世纪费里修道院院长卢普斯(Lupus of ferri)及其主要幸存手稿的创作者(巴黎，biblioth nationale de France，拉丁文2858)的信件写作和信件收集实践。我将通过对这些信件及其手稿背景的仔细分析来做到这一点。我的中心论点是，信件，以及信件的写作和收集活动，必须与它们的保存背景一起研究——尽管历史学家和编辑们普遍倾向于将它们分离开来。例如，Lupus信件的许多现代版本都避免展示手稿，并试图恢复“原始”信件的年表。我认为，信件及其保存之间的关系与个人和社会记忆密切相关。在收集信件的过程中，自然可以看出保存的意图，但我想说的是，记住和被记住的愿望也是促使Lupus写信的一个重要因素:信件本身具有重要的社会记忆功能。事实上，信件履行了更广泛的保存功能，保存和重新定位信息。此外，信件和收藏都利用记忆词汇来与读者交流。在这方面，卢普斯的信件在书信体纪念馆中的纪念价值，如巴黎手稿，源于它们的组成，传输和接收的社会背景。

Abstract:This article offers a belated reading of Guido Reni's Union of Disegno and Colore. I argue that Reni's painting, though allegorical by nature, is a visual summary of his biography and artistic consciousness. Although the concept of compendio (compendium) is key to early modern Bolognese art historiography, it has yet to be analyzed closely, let alone applied to the many messages conveyed through Reni's Union. By interpreting the Union through biography, iconography, sex, and gender, I propose that we take seriously the concept of a visual compendium, one that gives form to Reni's ideal union of art.

Abstract:Les Enfances Renier, a chanson de geste dating to the mid-thirteenth century, recounts the titular hero's journey throughout the Mediterranean as he looks for his birth family and aids Frankish, Norman, and even Byzantine allies in their struggles against predominantly Muslim enemies. The present study focuses on Renier's relationship with Ydoine, the Muslim princess who took him in as a foundling and raised him. After Renier discovers the identity of his birth parents, and Ydoine converts to Latin Christianity, the two marry and conceive a son named Tancred. This son, according to the narrator, will go on to play a major role in the First Crusade. In this way, Les Enfances Renier constructs a genealogy for the historical figure of Tancred (1075–1112) that adds an element of familial reclamation to the campaigns of the First Crusade. Conversion is an indispensable process that allows for Ydoine to convert, marry Renier, and conceive such an important figure. Throughout this article, I uncover how Les Enfances Renier uses conversion and ambivalent treatment of Ydoine, the notable convert, to navigate complex genealogical issues in service of upholding an ethos of Latin Christian expansion.
