Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The aim of this paper is to examine the literary and documentary sources produced in the ninth- and tenth-century border contexts of Sicily and Apulia, two western regions still central to imperial policy at the time. The former between Byzantium and Islam, and the latter almost reconquered by Latin Lombards, these regions appear as an excellent field for revisiting the Greek-speaking turn of the empire in the middle centuries. The monolingualism of the state was adapted to the plurilingualism of society by means of various strategies that ensured a long western history for Byzantine Hellenism.

Aim of the contribute is to offer a new key to analyse the matter concerning the influence of Byzantine law sources on the development of the legal system in Southern Italy. In addition to a historical and juridical survey about the reception process of the Isaurian Ekloge in the territories controlled by the Byzantines, a comparison is tried considering the diffusion of the compilation also in the Slavian world and especially in the Balkan regions: to study the reasons, which persuaded Stefan Du{an to use the text to compose his Zakonik, could be very useful to understand the characters - totally different because of political grounds - of the preservation of the Isaurian Ekloge in the manuscripts coming from Southern Italy.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study presents five little-known bathing chambers from the region of Amalfi in southern Italy. Dating from the thirteenth century, the baths define with remarkable consistency a type of structure that has not previously been identified or considered in histories of medieval architecture in the West. The study begins with an analysis of the five bathing chambers and their specific architectural features, technological remains, and domestic contexts. The diverse antecedents of the buildings, which appear in ancient Roman, medieval Italian, Byzantine, and Islamic architecture, are explored, along with the implications of this eclecticism for the history of southern Italy. Utilizing the rich array of surviving medieval documents for the region, including episcopal charters, royal decrees, and medical treatises, the study then reconstructs the economic, social, and scientific significance of the baths within medieval Amalfi. As monuments outside the traditional contexts of art production in southern Italy, the baths challenge long-standing characterizations of southern Italy's art and architecture, and point to the existence of a Mediterranean-wide balneal culture in which Byzantine, Islamic, and southern Italian communities participated.

A re-examination of the medieval inscription found in Curinga, Southern Italy, reveals the possibility that the monastery there was the “imperiale monasterium” mentioned in the donation deed of 1062 by Robert Guiscard and therefore it was founded in the Middle Byzantine period.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This paper reports the analyses carried out on the medieval copper alloy door (1111–1118 AD) of the mausoleum of Boemondo d’Altavilla in Canosa di Puglia (Southern Italy). The studied door is the smallest medieval bronze door extant in Italy and, unlike the other Byzantine doors, was most probably made in Canosa di Puglia and not in Constantinople. Analyses were performed to assess the chemical composition of the alloy patinas using a portable energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) instrument designed at the University of Salento. The experimental results suggested that the two door leaves have the same chemical composition, even if they appear different in both style and size. Furthermore, the alloy used for the door is different from the other previously-analyzed Byzantine bronze doors. The obtained results can be used in the future to compare the chemical composition of other Byzantine doors in order to better understand the manufacture of these precious artifacts.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The growth of Arab power in Southern Italy and even Dalmatia menaced the Byzantine Empire as well as Carolingian Italy and led both to an alliance in 869/870. Their attempt, however, to conquer Bari in a joint attack failed in 870 (not 869) due to a lack of coordination. An exchange of letters, which followed between Basil I and Louis II, reveals cultural and ideological alienation between christian East and West.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the selected works of one of the twelfth century Norman historian living in the British Isles, Gerald de Barri of Wales (1146-1223) in terms of his knowledge of the Byzantine world and its correlation with the Normans (from England and Southern Italy). The term Byzantine world has been evolving for several decades. Today it refers no longer just to the land of the former East European Empire, which later transformed itself into the Greek Byzantium, but it can be referred to the Balkans or the Kingdom of Normandy, while scientists are constantly expanding its borders with the help of other sciences such as archeology. We will do this based on his work: De instructione principis, Topographia Hibernica, Expugnatio Hibernica, Itinerarium Cambriae and Descriptio Cambriae. Selected by Gerald of Wales the themes of the Byzantine and Norman kingdoms of Sicily, which appear in his five works cited above, are proof of the broad political horizons of the elites from British Isles that were associated with the Plantagenet dynasty. Gerald was never in Sicily, in Byzantium or in the Holy Land, but he had some source in sight, both in the form of eyewitness accounts of events and in the accounts of contemporary writers, which does not diminish the credibility of the data he cites. Better and more strongly, he was interested in the facts of the kingdom of Normans in Sicily than in Byzantium. Such a state of affairs seems to be understandable, as he saw in them both a political partner and, to some extent, a model to imitate, especially in the aspect of conducting politics against the conquered peoples.

Abstract This paper focuses on the interactions between the environment and human society from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages in southern Apulia, at the heel of Italy, at the lower part of the Adriatic region. The results of recent archaeological investigations and palaeoenvironmental studies, has led us to establish a correlation between the indicators of extensive olive cultivation, the archaeological markers indicating the movement of goods either side of the Adriatic Sea, and Byzantine economic and political dominance over all or part of the region, as well as the lower Adriatic.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis sets out to probe the complex artistic contacts between Italy and Cyprus in the visual arts during the High and Late Middle Ages. The Introduction provides a critical review of the subject. Chapter I maps out the various types of links (with respect to trade, religion, warfare, art, culture) between Italy and Cyprus in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Chapters II and III examine the multifaceted artistic negotiations between southern Italy (mainly Apulia) and Cyprus in the thirteenth century, by closely examining a cluster of frescoes and panel paintings. Through a set of historical, cultural and artistic (stylistic and iconographic) approaches, these chapters aim to supersede the somewhat limited style-oriented analyses of previous contributions to this area of study. The hitherto unverified and convoluted relations between the two regions are revisited and affirmed within a new conceptual framework. Chapters IV and V investigate fourteenth-century cross-currents as seen in two cases that have formerly occupied a marginal position in discussions of intercultural exchanges between Italy and Cyprus. The first is the transplantation and manifestation of the cult of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Cyprus, and the second, the hybrid series of icons created by Italian painters working on the island. Both cases are appraised as a record of historical realities and not as the by-products of casual encounters. The thesis historicises these contacts and in doing so, contributes to a broader understanding of cultural transmission and convergence in the Medieval Mediterranean.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Cette thèse de doctorat se propose, en deux grandes parties, de donner pour la première fois un examen exhaustif, philologique et historique, de la tradition manuscrite grecque du Viatique du voyageur (Ἐφόδια τοῦ ἀποδημοῦντος), encyclopédie médicale en sept livres composée en arabe par le médecin kairouanais Ibn al-Ǧazzār (mort en 979). Un premier temps du travail consiste en une présentation mise à jour du traité arabe, de son auteur et de ses traductions latine, hébraïque et enfin grecque, sur laquelle porte l’essentiel de l’étude. Cette dernière, effectuée en Italie méridionale dans la seconde moitié du XIe siècle, est une traduction très fidèle et littérale de l’original arabe ; elle a cependant fait l’objet, très vite, d’un travail philologique qui a consisté en l’ajout d’éléments par rapport au texte arabe. Même si son succès a été notable (pas moins de quarante-huit témoins le transmettent à ce jour), le texte grec reste encore totalement dépourvu d’édition critique et un nombre très restreint d’études - sur lesquelles ce travail fait une mise au point - se sont attachées à aborder les problèmes que pose sa tradition manuscrite. Dans une seconde partie, le travail offre une description, matérielle et philologique, de quarante-et-un témoins manuscrits (correspondant à la totalité de la tradition manuscrite jusqu’à la fin du XVIe siècle), qu’il est possible de regrouper en quatre familles. Si la traduction a été effectuée en Italie méridionale et que les manuscrits les plus anciens conservés en sont originaires, c’est à Byzance, en particulier aux XIVe et XVe siècles que le texte va acquérir un statut d’encyclopédie médicale de référence, comme en témoignent le nombre de copies produites dans un espace de temps limité (plus de la moitié en moins de deux cents ans) et la présence d’une version révisée manifestant la volonté de médecins byzantins de s’approprier ce texte qui est - il ne faut pas l’oublier - une traduction depuis l’arabe. L’étude détaillée des témoins manuscrits et la mise en évidence des relations qui existent entre eux aboutissent, en conclusion, à une synthèse générale de la tradition manuscrite qui reprend tous les fils tissés au cours de ce travail<br>This doctoral dissertation composed of two main parts offers, for the first time, a thorough philological and historical analysis of the Greek manuscript transmission of the Provisions of the Traveller (Ἐφόδια τοῦ ἀποδημοῦντος), a medical handbook written in Arabic by the Kairouan doctor Ibn al-Ǧazzār (d. 979). The first part of the thesis consists in an updated presentation of the Arabic version, its author, and its Latin, Hebrew and Greek translations. The latter makes up the core of this study : translated in southern Italy in the second half of the 11th century, the Greek text represents a very faithful and literal rendering of the Arabic original. Nevertheless, it was soon re-worked from a philological perspective, with the addition of some external material as compared with the original Arabic text. Even though this translation enjoyed great success (no less than forty-eight copies are preserved to this day), the Greek text still lacks any critical edition and a very few studies - of which the thesis provides an analysis - have tackled the issues of its manuscript transmission. In the second part, the dissertation gives a material and philological description of forty-one codices (i.e. the totality of the manuscript transmission up to the end of the 16th century) that can be grouped into four families. Although the Greek translation was made in southern Italy and the oldest testimonies were copied in that region, it was in Byzantium, especially in the 14th and 15th centuries, that the text earned its reputation as an essential medical handbook. Its importance as a reference is clear from the number of codices copied in a limited amount of time (more than half of them in less than two hundred years) as well as the existence of a revised version of the translation indicating the will of Byzantine doctors to render this original Arabic text a Byzantine work. The detailed study of the manuscript testimonies and the illustration of the relationships between them result in a comprehensive and conclusive summary of the manuscript transmission of the Provisions of the Traveller which draws together the central themes of this thesis

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
La transmission du savoir laïque, en particulier celui hérité de l'Antiquité, était dynamique à Constantinople durant l'époque macédonienne. Cependant, cette effervescence intellectuelle ne semble pas avoir eu le même écho dans les espaces provinciaux, tel que l'Italie méridionale hellénophone (à l'exception de la Terre d'Otrante). Le faible nombre de manuscrits grecs profanes, produits et diffusés dans cette province durant les Xe et XIe siècles, témoigne de cette situation. Malgré leur quantité limitée, ce corpus de manuscrits grecs présente une diversité thématique riche, comprenant des œuvres de grammaire, de rhétorique, de lexicographie, de calcul, de droit civil, de médecine, ainsi que de littérature et de philosophie antiques. L'examen approfondi de chaque manuscrit de ce corpus, au prisme de la méthode « stratigraphique » qui intègre les données paléographiques, codicologiques et philologiques, nous permet d'établir un portrait aussi complet que possible de leur production et diffusion locales entre le Xe siècle et le XIe siècle. Ce travail révèle comment ces livre-manuscrits et ces connaissances séculières s'intégraient et étaient utilisées au sein de la société locale, dévoilant ainsi un pan souvent occulté par les sources historiques. En outre, la comparaison de ce corpus profane byzantin avec celui de l'ère normando-souabe illustre la pérennité de l'héritage byzantin local tout en soulignant l'apparition de nouveautés caractéristiques de la période normando-souabe<br>The transmission of secular knowledge, particularly that inherited from antiquity, was dynamic in Constantinople during the Macedonian era. However, this intellectual effervescence did not seem to have the same echo in provincial areas such as Hellenic-speaking southern Italy (with the exception of Terra d'Otranto). The small number of secular Greek manuscripts produced and circulated in this peripherical province in the 10th and 11th centuries prior to the Norman Conquest bears witness to this situation. Despite its limited quantity, the corpus of local secular Greek manuscripts presents a rich thematic diversity, including works of grammar, rhetoric, lexicography, scientific calculation, civil law, medicine, as well as ancient literature and philosophy. The in-depth examination of each manuscript in this corpus, through the prism of the “stratigraphic” method that integrates paleographical, codicological and philological data, enables us to establish as complete a picture as possible of their local production and circulation between the 10th century and the first half of the 11th century. This work reveals how these book manuscripts and secular knowledge were integrated and used within local society, revealing an aspect often obscured by historical sources. Furthermore, the comparison of this Byzantine secular corpus with that of the Norman-Swabian era illustrates the durability of the local Byzantine heritage, while highlighting the appearance of novelties characteristic of the Norman-Swabian period within local secular culture

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Le XIe-XIIe siècles, ont été élaborés en quatre chapitres : l’histoire politique et militaire, montrant l’agitation multiculturelle de cette période, une période transitoire dans un contexte profondément gréco byzantin, la géographie humaine (Langue, populations, gestion administrative, recherche anthropologique des Normands sur le territoire italien, droit, diplômes, monnaie, sceaux, art normand) présente l’interdépendance des événements historiques avec les conditions humaines, la coexistence et l’interculturation des Normands avec la culture greco-byzantine, l’organisation ecclésiastique qui, après le concile de Melfi (1059), a mis les nouvelles infrastructures épiscopales pour l’imposition de la papauté au détriment de l’Eglise grecque, malgré ses résistances pour en finir dans une situation de cœxistence de deux rites religieux pour un certain temps. Enfin, l’organisation monastique, se montre un peu plus compliquée en raison du début des Ordres religieux occidentaux, soutenus par la papauté, s’intégrant dans les communautés italo grecques. Pourtant, la culture grecque a perduré, surtout dans le monachisme de l’Italie du sud, sans pour autant nier la floraison du monachisme latin, résultant de la politique monastique normande. Ensuite, la dynastie souabe a suivi, en démontrant que l’histoire multiculturelle de la région se cristallise par rapport à l’élément grec, donnant une préséance à l’élément occidental. Cette partie a également été étudiée aux niveaux politique, ecclésiastique, monastique, notaire, judiciaire, langagier .Enfin, la dynastie angevine (1266-1442) a restauré ce qu’on appelle une polyphonie européenne dans le territoire de l’Italie du sud, malgré la volonté des rois angevins d’imposer le modèle monarchique. Cette partie a été étudiée aux niveaux politique, ecclésiastique et monastique. Les pouvoirs étrangers ont dominé tout au long des siècles en contribuant ainsi dans une mosaïque culturelle telle que l’identité ou les éléments identitaires des communautés italo grecques ont pu coexister avec toutes les cultures dominantes, puisant toujours leurs propres origines depuis la période de la domination de l’empire byzantin. Malgré la présence des diverses migrations ethniques et culturelles sur place, l’élément gréco-byzantin comme culture s’est avérée plus déterminant de façon qu’il ait perdure dans le temps<br>The XI-XII centuries were examined in four chapters: the political and military history, shows the multicultural agitation of this period, transitional for the Normans, the new foreign dynasty , within a context , deeply Greek Byzantine, the human geography ( language, populations, administrative geography, Italo-Greek identity, anthropological research of the Normans in the Italian territory, the law, diplomas, monetary, seals, Norman art), presents the interdependency of the historical events and human conditions, the coexistence and the interculturation of the Normans with the Greek Byzantine culture, the ecclesiastical organization, which, after the council of Melfi (1059) put the new Episcopal substructure to impose the papacy against the Greek Church, although her resistance and to end within a situation of coexistence for the two religious rites for a long time. Then, the monastic organization appears more complicated due to the beginning of the Latin monastic orders, supported from the Papacy, integrated in the Italo-Greek communities. Nevertheless, the Greek culture lasted, especially in the monarchism of southern Italy, without ignoring the development of the Latin monarchism, the result of the Norman monastic policy. Thereafter, the Hofenstaufen dynasty (1198-1266) followed, showing that the multicultural history of the region consolidates in relation with the Greek element, giving the priority to the western element. This part was equally examined through the political, ecclesiastical, monastic, notary, legal, language fields .Finally, the Angevin dynasty (1266-1442) restored the European polyphony in the territory of southern Italy, despite the willingness of the Angevin Kings to impose the monarchical model. This part was also studied in political, ecclesiastical and monastic fields. The foreign powers dominated over the centuries by contributing in a cultural mosaic such as the identity or the identity elements of the Italo-Greek communities could have coexisted with all the dominant cultures, drawing always from their own origins since the period of the domination of the Byzantine Empire. Despite the presence of various ethnic and cultural migrations on the spot, the Greek Byzantine element as a culture proved to be more determinative so that it persists over time

Theotokis, Georgios. "The campaigns of the Norman dukes of southern Italy against Byzantium, in the years between 1071 and 1108 AD." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1884/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The topic of my thesis is “The campaigns of the Norman dukes of southern Italy to Byzantium, in the years between 1071 and 1108 A.D.” As the title suggests, I am examining all the main campaigns conducted by the Normans against Byzantine provinces, in the period from the fall of Bari, the Byzantine capital of Apulia and the seat of the Byzantine governor (catepano) of Italy in 1071, to the Treaty of Devol that marked the end of Bohemond of Taranto’s Illyrian campaign in 1108. My thesis, however, aims to focus specifically on the military aspects of these confrontations, an area which for this period has been surprisingly neglected in the existing secondary literature. My intention is to give answers to a series of questions, of which only some of them are presented here: what was the Norman method of raising their armies and what was the connection of this particular system to that in Normandy and France in the same period (similarities, differences, if any)? Have the Normans been willing to adapt to the Mediterranean reality of warfare, meaning the adaptation of siege engines and the creation of a transport and fighting fleet? What was the composition of their armies, not only in numbers but also in the analogy of cavalry, infantry and supplementary units? While in the field of battle, what were the fighting tactics used by the Normans against the Byzantines and were they superior to their eastern opponents? However, as my study is in essence comparative, I will further compare the Norman and Byzantine military institutions, analyse the clash of these two different military cultures and distinguish any signs of adaptations in their practice of warfare. Also, I will attempt to set this enquiry in the light of new approaches to medieval military history visible in recent historiography by asking if any side had been familiar to the ideas of Vegetian strategy, and if so, whether we characterise any of these strategies as Vegetian?

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In the eleventh and twelfth centuries southern Italy passed irrevocably out of Byzantine control and into Norman control, at roughly the same time as the Roman papacy and the Christians of the East were beginning to divide into what we now know as the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Historians have typically viewed the history of southern-Italian monasticism in this period around the notion of a cultural conflict between Latins and Greeks, either arguing for or against the idea that the Italo-Normans had a policy of ‘latinisation’ with regards to Eastern-rite monasteries. This thesis will argue, however, that this conceptual framework obscures more important long-term economic and social factors that affected Germany, Italy and Byzantium
alike.
Having outlined the political and social context of southern-Italy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 will demonstrate the manner in which southern-Italian monasticism was firmly embedded into a network of cultural and social contacts in the broader Mediterranean world, and especially with Byzantium, even during the Norman domination. Chapter 3 will focus on the fundamental patterns of southern-Italian monastic change in the early
Middle Ages, emphasising the gradual movement from informal asceticism to organised monastic hierarchies. Chapter 4 will set forth the essential irrelevance of viewing this structural change in terms of ‘Latin’ and ‘Greek’ identities, underlining the point that the distinction is largely meaningless in the context of monastic change. Chapter 5 will explain by contrast the far greater
significance of economic and social expansion to monastic change in both ‘Latin’ and ‘Greek’ areas of the Mediterranean, and especially southern Italy. Finally, Chapter 6 will show that consolidation in southern-Italian monastic structures was not simply part of a centrally-directed papal reform movement, but part of a wider range of innovations undertaken on a local basis throughout the peninsula and the rest of the Mediterranean, with a considerable range of
influences.
An extensive selection of literary and documentary evidence will be examined in both Latin and Greek, with an especial focus on the monastic and ecclesiastical archives of southern Italy.<br>Thesis (Master, History) -- Queen's University, 2011-06-12 13:50:46.867

Morton, James. Byzantine Religious Law in Medieval Italy. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198861140.001.0001.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This book is a historical study of these manuscripts, exploring how and why the Greek Christians of medieval southern Italy persisted in using them so long after the end of Byzantine rule. Southern Italy was conquered by the Norman Hauteville dynasty in the late eleventh century after over 500 years of continuous Byzantine rule. At a stroke, the region’s Greek Christian inhabitants were cut off from their Orthodox compatriots in Byzantium and became subject to the spiritual and legal jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic popes. Nonetheless, they continued to follow the religious laws of the Byzantine church; out of thirty-six surviving manuscripts of Byzantine canon law produced between the tenth and fourteenth centuries, the majority date to the centuries after the Norman conquest. Part I provides an overview of the source material and the history of Italo-Greek Christianity. Part II examines the development of Italo-Greek canon law manuscripts from the last century of Byzantine rule to the late twelfth century, arguing that the Normans’ opposition to papal authority created a laissez faire atmosphere in which Greek Christians could continue to follow Byzantine religious law unchallenged. Finally, Part III analyses the papacy’s successful efforts to assert its jurisdiction over southern Italy in the later Middle Ages. While this brought about the end of Byzantine canon law as an effective legal system in the region, the Italo-Greeks still drew on their legal heritage to explain and justify their distinctive religious rites to their Latin neighbours.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The history of Byzantium pivots around the eleventh century. For it was then that it reached its apogee, in terms of power, prestige, and territorial extension, only to plunge into steep political decline in the second half of the century. It is therefore well worth taking a thorough look at the social order in this age of change, to see how it was affected by economic growth and political expansion, and what were the consequences of the social changes which occurred. The approaches of individual contributors vary according to their subject matter. The social order is surveyed from the bottom-up in four archaeologically founded papers which examine three regions of the Byzantine world (Asia Minor, in general (Niewoehner) and with respect to the Sagalassos area (Kaptijn and Waelkens), Greece (Armstrong), and Southern Italy (Noye)). The top-down view, drawing on textual evidence, documentary and literary, is presented by four contributors, who again focus on different places—the metropolis (Cheynet), the country in the core regions of Asia Minor and Greece (Smyrlis), and two peripheral regions, Taron in south-west Armenia (Greenwood) and southern Italy (Noye). These detailed studies are complemented by a venture into the sphere of political ideas, as manifest in the thinking of one high-flying servant of the state (Krallis), and an overview of eleventh-century developments (Howard-Johnston).

This chapter examines the ways in which liturgical chants used for the rites of the Catholic church often bear a multiplicity of cultural influences by drawing on local religious and mythic symbols and placing them in a set of shared biblical, theological, and liturgical elements. It focuses on Gregorian chant in the Beneventan region of southern Italy, tracing the ways that chant repertoires adapted thematic elements from the cultural heritage of the different populations who came into the area, including Lombards, Byzantines, and Normans, along with local pre-Christian cultic elements associated with the Monte Gargano. The chapter concludes that this chants show local processes of remodeling and adaptation of liturgical chants—processes of localization that characterize the repertory of Gregorian chant in other times and places as well.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The liturgical chant that was sung in the churches of southern Italy between the ninth and the thirteenth centuries reflects the multiculturalism of a territory in which Roman, Franks, Lombards, Byzantines, Normans, Jews, and Muslims were present at various times and with different political roles. This book examines a specific genre, the prosulas that were composed to embellish and expand preexisting liturgical chants of the liturgy of mass. Widespread in medieval Europe, prosulas were highly cultivated in southern Italy, especially by the nuns, monks, and clerics in the city of Benevento. They shed light on the creativity of local cantors to provide new meanings to the liturgy in accordance with contemporary waves of religious spirituality and to experiment with a novel musical style in which a syllabic setting is paired with the free-flowing melody of the parent chant. In their representing an epistemological “beyond” and because of their interconnectedness with the parent chant, they can be likened to modern hypertexts. The emphasis on universal saints of ancient lineage stressed the perceived links with the cradles of Christianity, Africa and West Asia, and the center of the papal power, Rome, while the high number of Christological prosulas in manuscripts used in nunneries might be tied to the devotion to Jesus as “spiritual spouse” that was typical of female religiosity. Full editions of texts, melodies, and manuscript facsimiles in the companion website enrich the study of the stylistic features and the cultural components of this fascinating genre.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Chapter 2 offers a historical narrative of Greek Christianity in medieval southern Italy from the era of Byzantine rule in the early Middle Ages to the fifteenth century. It begins with the transformation of Byzantine Italy during the era of Iconoclasm (8th–9th centuries) and the Macedonian dynasty (9th–11th centuries). Faced with the external crisis of Islamic invasion and the internal political crises that resulted, the Byzantine authorities placed southern Italy under the patriarchate of Constantinople and established a military government (the katepanikion) over the region, bringing settlers from Greece and Anatolia to reinforce the Greek presence there. It then describes the impact of the Norman invasion of the eleventh century, noting the hostilities that flared between Greek and Latin Christians in southern Italy as a result. Next, the chapter moves on to address the aftermath of the Norman conquest for the Italo-Greeks, discussing the so-called ‘Italo-Greek Renaissance’ of the twelfth century and Norman patronage of Greek ecclesiastical institutions such as the Patiron of Rossano and the Holy Saviour of Messina. It then details the changing circumstances of the thirteenth century, with the demise of the Norman Hauteville dynasty and the arrival of the Hohenstaufen dynasty. It also highlights the significance of the Fourth Crusade and the Fourth Lateran Council as developments that heralded increased papal interference in Italo-Greek affairs. Lastly, the chapter examines the impact of the Angevin conquest and the relegation of the southern Italian Greeks to an ethnic minority within the hierarchy of the Roman Church.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Chapter 4 examines the surviving nomocanonical manuscripts from the period of Byzantine rule in early medieval southern Italy (tenth–eleventh centuries). Very few manuscripts survive from before the twelfth century, so their content must be reconstructed from later codices. Nonetheless, this chapter argues that enough evidence has been preserved to prove that Byzantine canon law was firmly established in southern Italy from the time of the empire’s ecclesiastical and administrative reorganisations of the ninth and tenth centuries. The chapter shows that, as the Byzantines reconquered territories from the Lombards and established new ecclesiastical centres in Reggio, S. Severina, and Otranto, they introduced the Nomocanon in Fourteen Titles, the Nomocanon in Fifty Titles, and the Synopsis of Canons to serve as legal reference works. It then focuses on the Carbone nomocanon (Vat. gr. 1980–1981), the only complete nomocanon to survive from the era of Byzantine rule, arguing that it was probably produced in the eleventh century for use by a Greek bishop in Lucania. The manuscript’s contents and marginalia indicate that its owner was fully aligned with the legal system of Constantinople and show no influences from neighbouring Latin jurisdictions. Finally, the chapter looks at evidence from the period of Norman conquest in the late eleventh century, revealing how the resulting tensions between Latin and Greek Christians in the region left traces of contemporary Byzantine polemic against the azyma (unleavened bread in the Eucharist) in Calabrian nomocanons of the twelfth century.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The establishment of Norman authority in southern Italy and Sicily was the result of an unprecedented effort that would substantially alter the future political order of the Mediterranean. The most effective military action adopted by Norman commanders was siege warfare, carried out against the main fortifications and major urban centers. This technique, very much related to Byzantine military traditions, consisted in surrounding with the army the place to be conquered with one or more small "counter-castles", preventing supplies from the outside, and at the same time engineering some powerful war machines, built for the occasion by the doctissimi artifices, which hammered the walls with intensity forcing it to surrender. The sophisticated lignorum machinae presented different types: mobile towers equipped with battering-rams, petrary, ballistae in addition to the well-known trebuchets with rope or counterweight devices.Starting from the written sources of the period, the essay aims to describe the salient phases of the main sieges conducted by the Normans between the 11th and 12th centuries, in which they experimented with singular warfare tools and strategies to get the better of the Lombard, Byzantine and Muslim armies.
