Full textIl progetto di ricerca, dal titolo Storia del monachesimo basiliano in Campania. Analisi del patrimonio fondiario di tre abbazie attraverso lo studio delle platee dei beni (secoli XVII-XVIII), è nato come una naturale continuazione di studio su un argomento trattato per la stesura della tesi di laurea magistrale, incentrata sulle vicende del cenobio basiliano di San Giovanni a Piro, situato nel basso Salernitano, nel Golfo di Policastro . Così, abbiamo reperito la maggior parte di documenti e informazioni su altri enti monastici italo-greci ubicati nelle vicinanze e ci si è chiesto se effettivamente esistesse un monachesimo basiliano di età moderna innestatosi e sviluppatosi in Campania, più precisamente nell’area meridionale del Principato Citra. Scorrendo la bibliografia sull’argomento i lavori più autorevoli e scientificamente rilevanti (Mario Scaduto, Il monachesimo basiliano nella Sicilia medievale; Biagio Cappelli, Il monachesimo basiliano ai confini calabro-lucani; Silvano Borsari, Il monachesimo bizantino nella Sicilia e nell’Italia prenormanne) sono stati incentrati sullo studio delle dinamiche del fenomeno in epoca medievale, relativi, per lo più, alle regioni dell’estremo meridione della nostra penisola: Sicilia, Calabria e Basilicata. L’obiettivo del lavoro è quello di spostare in avanti i termini del discorso, ossia analizzare gli «ambiti storico-geografici» da un nuovo punto di vista temporale e spaziale, in modo da proporre uno studio del monachesimo basiliano campano di età moderna. Le fonti principali scelte per l’indagine sono state le platee dei beni di tre monasteri, ognuno dei quali è usato come caso-campione di una microarea: la badia di Santa Maria di Pattano per il Cilento, il monastero di San Pietro al Tumusso di Montesano sulla Marcellana per il Vallo di Diano e il cenobio di San Giovanni a Piro per il Golfo di Policastro. Queste fonti documentarie – tutte più o meno coeve, essendo state redatte tra la fine del XVII e gli inizi del XVIII secolo – sono state utilizzate per delineare un profilo socio-economico non solo dei monasteri che le hanno prodotte, ma anche dei territori su cui tali enti sorgevano e avevano possedimenti fondiari. Dalle platee si è deciso di estrapolare le notizie più significative per tracciare un quadro globale delle società e di quei feudi che appartenevano al patrimonio monastico... [a cura dell'autore]

Full textThis thesis establishes a link between conceptions of female virtue and the practice of veiling by women from ancient to medieval times in the Mediterranean region. This is evidenced by the consistent advocacy and prescription of veiling in ancient and medieval theological texts, including Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian, and Islamic texts. Veiling practices are shown to have a religious foundation, grounded in the ideas of honor and virtue. These notions were reflected in society over time with veiled aristocratic noblewomen and unveiled marginalized classes. While acknowledging class-based theories of female veiling, the thesis concentrates on the religious factors for veiling, particularly for medieval Muslim societies. The argument of this thesis is that while veiling did not originate in Islamic societies, Muslims validated the practice through their own literature and laws. The paper also includes evidence of female seclusion, which co-exists with the spread in the practice of veiling by women.

Full textIn 1128, following the assassination of Charles le Bon, Flanders entered into a long dispute over succession which was to allow the new Count, Thierry of Alsace, the younger of Lorraine, to win fame on the political stage. The interest which he brought to res monastica was to make him a valuable asset in the quest for the development of the new order of Cîteaux. Bernard de Clairvaux made the most of his frequent dealings with the Count to found in Loos in 1146 a new branch of his abbey in the newly independent diocese of Tournai. Basing my study on a rich corpus of documents, suitably sorted and analysed beforehand, I have been able to extract five main areas of research. Firstly, to dispense with the fantasies surrounding the abbey which former historians had embellished and reconstruct the real context of its foundation. Secondly, establish the stuctural basis of the abbey. Lastly, in three distinct parts, analyse the main traits of monastic life. 1. Community life - the passage from secular to convent life, the role and status of each and everyone, conformity to Cistercien law, 2. Lay society - barn life, agriculture and the production and distribution of produce, 3. The involvement in society of monks in spite of their cloistered existence - friends and benefactors, made up of interreligious agreements and confrontation. The publication of the XII century charter, that of two chronicles, notices pertaining to each barn and each abbot, along with ancestry of the main families involved in the foundation can be found in the appendices

Full textDuring the medieval period, the qâdîs are situated between two worlds: that of state institutions and that of private lawyers. This thesis seeks to analyze relationships between the Iraqi qâdîs and state power between the ‘abbâsid revolution in 132/750 and the establishment of the bûyid dynasty in 334/945. We first consider the structure of delegated power that links the qâdîs with the governors, then to the caliphs; we then attempt to establish the degree to which the new dynasty reforms the judicial administration, and examine the criteria that govern the choice of the qâdîs. Having considered the Iraqi judicial districts, we turn to consider the extent to which the juridical authority of the qâdîs covers all the Iraqi territory, and analyze the hierarchical structures that connect them to the central organization of power. Certain deficiencies are shown to be compensated by the elaboration of procedures intended to ensure their geographical and temporal continuity. As Baghdad progressively affirms itself as the nervous center of the Iraqi judicial system, its role in these processes is also analyzed. Finally, we explore the daily relationship between the judicature and power, and attempt to discover the means by which the qâdîs may be used by their délégants for political purposes. Given the intervention of political power in the judicial field, which are increasingly perceived to be illegitimate, the thought of the qâdîs and other scholars lead to an important re-consideration of the qâdî's status in society

Full textThe purpose of this study was the complete and detailed description of all the materials (parchments manuscripts, documents and fragments), dated between the 12th and the 13th centuries, through census and cataloging of the historical records preserved at the Biblioteca Nazionale at the Montevergine Abbey and at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. An important chapter in the history of the Abbey concerns the book decoration, a little studied subject, unlike the pictorial and sculptural productions. The global analysis (codicological, paleographical, textual and of the history of art), combined with the analysis of the archive materials and the indirect records, has allowed us to rebuild a corpus of the decorative codes linked to the Montevergine Abbey, as well as to propose new critical acquisitions. Searching for parchment images has led us to wonder about the presence of the scriptorium; a complex reality in the Virginian world that does not fully attest to the production of books. The analysis of illustrated documents known as ‘Statuto dell’abate Donato', a sure Virginian production, was of great interest and led to a new interpretation. [edited by author]

Full textThis thesis is divided into three sections: an introductory volume and two further volumes of primary evidence with analysis, the first encompassing the period 1097 -1252, the second from 1252-1307, representing 662 acts in total. The introduction contains five chapters. The first chapter details the history of Aulps Abbey. The monastery was founded at the end of the 11th century at 800 metres in the diocese of Geneva and was affiliated to the Cistercian Order in 1136. The second chapter presents the methodology employed to reconstitute the lost monastic archive (archiver's notes, inventories, historical scholarly work. . . ) The third chapter is dedicated to the abbey's economic life and particularly to its role in exploiting the mountains as a resource. The abbot's powers and those of the monastery's other monks with decision-making powers are taken up in the fourth chapter. The final chapter's statistical analysis throws light on the chronological order of the acts, as well as their judicial and political context. The two volumes of acts explored in this thesis are followed by indexes of names, subjects and seals

Full textThe present study deals with conceptions of history and their narrative realisation in the Arabic historiography of ÞAbbÁsid times. First, the structural intersections of historical and fictional narration and their distinctive characteristics are analysed. For the purposes of this study, the results of structural discourse analysis (R. BARTHES) are considered and combined with P. RICŒUR's studies of the functions of mimesis. Following these theoretical considerations and using the representations of the caliphs al-WalÍd b. YazÍd (743-744) and al-AmÍn (809-813) in Arabic medieval historiography, the study demonstrates how the narratives of single events (a¿bÁr) are linked to a paradigmatic level turning these representations into a complete expression of a conception of history. In the second part, the study treats the narrative arrangement of single a¿bÁr and seeks to answer to which degree the historiographer feels authorized to give a narrative form to a transmitted set of events. Next to the purely narrative structures, references to other textual levels or to other story elements are of particular interest. Like narrativity, the referenciality of the texts proves that historical narrations are not a mere reproduction of a given set of past events, but that the historian also provides the events with meaning. The historian presumes, however, that the reader of his work interprets this meaning as inherent to the events rather than as the historian's construction. Linked with the studies of W. ISER on the function of the real, the fictive and the imaginary and on the reader's contract with the author, one can deduce from these considerations that the reader of a historical work does not consider the world described by the historian to be a possible world, but to be the real world, containing by itself the reference to the imaginary

Full textThough studies on medieval literacy have flourished since the late 20th century, highlighting a “writing revolution” and helping understand entire parts of medieval societies, pragmatic literacy remains rather uncharted territory in monastic - and especially female - communities. Through this case study, our goal will therefore be identifying and explaining writing practices in the Liege Val-Benoît Abbey (for forms, functions and uses), between the 13th and 15th centuries. By looking at the institutionin its context (both regional and Cistercian) and analysing its dense archive (appx. 700 charters & 200 registries), this research work depicts the transition from 13th century juridical writing to a progressively more advanced paper-based accounting system in the 14th and the 15th century
