Medieval Mediterranean

Este trabajo tiene por objetivo identificar al sector de la aristocracia
aragonesa que mantuvo vínculos personales directos con los monarcas
entre finales del reinado de Jaime I (1213-1276) y la última década
de Pedro IV (1336-1387), tomando en consideración dos formas
de relación diferentes. La primera de ellas es el contrato feudovasallático,
es decir, el compromiso de lealtad y servicio contraído por determinados
miembros de la nobleza con el soberano, a cambio de un
beneficio material, normalmente, en forma de dominios territoriales
o rentas2. La segunda se inscribe en el espacio doméstico y cortesano, donde las relaciones con el monarca discurrían por cauces diferentes
del anterior. En este ámbito, destacan los compromisos de servicio
adquiridos por ricoshombres y caballeros en el seno de la casa y la
corte del rey, un espacio en franco desarrollo durante la Baja Edad
Media3, sin olvidar las órdenes de caballería de fundación regia y, en
particular, la orden militar de San Jorge, creada en 1353 por Pedro el
Ceremonioso4. En ambos casos, nos encontramos ante instituciones que integraron a individuos de la baja y la media nobleza, permitiendo
así a la monarquía ampliar sus bases sociales más allá de su círculo
de feudatarios y vasallos.

Whether the navigation and, therefore, the foreigners' commercial activity in the Black Sea continued after the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire in 1453-and above all after the final conquest of the last important Italian Black Sea colonies in 1475 (Caffa/Fedosia and Tana/Tanais)-is a matter of dispute. The new archival discoveries focusing on the Venetian commercial activity in the Black Sea in the period 1479-1499, delimited by the end of the First and the Second Ottoman-Venetian War, allow us to take the side of those who believe that the fall of Constantinople represented a certain continuation with the realities that preceded it, rather than a clear disruption of the Black Sea's economy. On the other hand, the fact that the Venetians continued to trade in an area that was theoretically monopolized by Ottoman merchants indicates a lack of Ottoman commercial capacities, and a certain need of the Ottomans in reference to the Italian cities.

Pour la 2e année consécutive, nous organisons une journée d’étude adossée à la thématique émergente « Dynamiques méditerranéennes » de Framespa, qui se tiendra le jeudi 23 janvier 2025. La thématique « L’Église romaine et les communautés locales sur le pourtour méditerranéen (Xe-XIIIe siècle) » s’inscrit dans la question Église, société et pouvoir dans la chrétienté latine, 910-1274 des concours du CAPES et de l’agrégation. La journée vise donc essentiellement les étudiants préparant ces deux concours. Mais elle est ouverte également à tous les collègues et étudiants intéressés, notamment à ceux du Master recherche Mondes médiévaux. En étroite articulation entre recherche et enseignement, les communicants seront invités à traiter un sujet tiré de leurs travaux personnels et utile notamment aux étudiants des concours.

Ce livre examine la singularité et l’importance du détroit de Gibraltar de la domination punique à la chute de Grenade. Cette région géohistorique, située entre deux continents et entre Méditerranée et Atlantique, a été bien plus qu’une simple zone de transit. Elle a été un espace de passage pour hommes, marchandises, idées et modèles culturels. L’ouvrage analyse ces flux et réseaux d’échanges, à des échelles locales et globales, en s’appuyant sur des sources écrites, la cartographie et l’archéologie.

The half-destroyed monument complex of the "King Alan" sanctuary, located in the rural area of Old Harzhis in the Syunik province of the Republic of Armenia, comprises a single-nave vaulted basilica church, a narthex-hall attached to the west, and a mausoleum adjoining them to the north. This complex is being comprehensively studied for the first time. Although manuscript sources do not provide evidence about the monument, more than a dozen epigraphs dating from the 11th to the 15th centuries fill this gap. The architectural and sculptural features of the monument indicate that the complex was built no later than the 10th-11th centuries. The first component of the name "King Alan" is directly connected with the term "free-born" ("ազատածին"-"azatatsin") mentioned in the 1326 inscription on the ornamented tombstone preserved in the narthex-hall, referring to Alan, who descended from a noble family. It is logical that being "free-born" and the highly artistic tombstone led the local people to refer to Alan as a "king," which caused the original name of the church to be forgotten and the entire complex to be known as "King Alan." Unfortunately, this has sometimes led to misunderstandings, particularly the misinterpretation of the name Alan as a tribal name and the deceased as a king of the Alans. Abstrait: Le sanctuaire "Alan Roi" du vieux Harzhis et héritage épigraphique (Syunik, République d'Arménie) L'ensemble monumental à moitié détruit du sanctuaire "Alan King", situé dans le village de Vieux Harzhis de la province de Syunik de la République d'Arménie, composé d'une église basilique à nef unique, d'une salle du narthex attachée à l'ouest, et un mausolée qui leur est attené au nord, fait l'objet d'une étude approfondie pour la première fois. Les preuves du monument n'ont pas été conservées dans les sources littéraires, mais plus d'une douzaine de epigraphies datant des XIe et XVe siècles comblent le vide. Les solutions architecturales et sculpturales du monument nous permettent de constater que le complexe a été construit au plus tard aux Xe-XIe siècles. Le premier composant du nom commun "Alan King" a un lien direct avec un mot décrivant Alan "azatatsin" (ազատածին)-originaire d'une famille noble, mentionné dans l'inscription en 1326 après JC sur la pierre tombale sculptée conservée dans la salle du narthex. Il est logique que l'origine d'une famille noble du défunt et la pierre tombale hautement sculptée soient devenues la principale raison pour laquelle les gens ont appelé Alan "roi", ce qui a fait oublier le vrai nom de l'église et a scellé l'ensemble du complexe avec le nom "Roi Alan". Malheureusement, cela a parfois donné lieu à des malentendus, en particulier, le nom Alan a été traité comme un nom tribal et le défunt comme un roi Alan.

Studies of the Roman Empire have typically assessed the Late Republic and early Empire as "golden ages", with flourishing developments evident in the large-scale investment and expansion of cities, specialized production, and intensification of trade networks. With their epithets of

The purpose of this conference is to rethink traditional chronologies and geographies in order to reimagine the Mediterranean in expansive ways that will enable its integration into new accounts of the global war.
In bringing together a group of scholars from around the world, our task will be to illuminate the unexpected connections, processes and moments of upheaval that made the “greater Mediterranean” the crucible of global conflict and a vast arena of great power contestation and revolutionary struggle stretching from the Iberian peninsula and the North African coast to the shores of the Balkans and the Middle East, where Turkish, Soviet and British strategic imperatives collided.
The conference aims to reflect on the Mediterranean in World War II, combining the work of well-established scholars with that of younger researchers. It will highlight the interconnectedness of different regions and zones of combat, with the goal of bringing together contributions from all areas of the Mediterranean region, including narratives that take into account North African, Middle Eastern, Turkish, Balkan and Iberian experiences to create a deeper and richer understanding of the “long world war” as it unfolded in the Mediterranean between the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 and the conclusion of the Greek civil war in 1949. This process will also allow us to rethink the Mediterranean as an integrated geopolitical formation and to situate it within the broader global struggle that dominated the middle years of the twentieth century.

Scholarly consensus maintains that there was a 'Jewish neighbourhood', or perhaps several such neighbourhoods, in cities throughout the Islamicate world. In the present article, I delve deeply into this concept, seeking to problematise and unpack it more fully, using the city of Fusṭāṭ in Egypt as a test case.

The aim of the paper is to show some sources to measure the port movement of the city of Valencia in the second half of the 15th century. This port movement offers certain microanalytical perspectives of the two major issues that justify the workshop: access to the sea and Mediterranean mobility. The paper begins with a few words about the economic and maritime position of Valencia in the Mediterranean at the end of the Middle Ages. It continues with the presentation of two Valencian sources: the notarials deeds of Jaume Salvador in 1472-1513 and the registers of the "manifest de mar" in 1451-1499. This will lead to the third part of the paper, which is dedicated to presenting some of the main data that are known from these sources, both in general and specifically about several connection areas in Valencia.

Alla vigilia dei 90 anni dalla pionieristica monografia di Raimondo Carta Raspi, il volume propone una raccolta di saggi su Mariano IV d’Arborea (1347-1375), tra le figure più significative della storia sarda. Come legislatore emanò il Codice rurale e la Carta de Logu, poi aggiornata dalla celebre figlia Eleonora; in veste di statista promosse una riorganizzazione del Giudicato e si relazionò con le grandi realtà politiche del suo tempo. Nel 1353 entrò in guerra contro la Corona d’Aragona per allargare la sua autorità su tutta l’isola. La presente opera – grazie a specialisti di diverse aree scientifiche – offre numerosi dati inediti e traccia nuovi quadri e prospettive di ricerca.

This panel investigates the malleability of race and racializing concepts in the medieval Mediterranean, focusing on an intersectional framework. Key case studies encompass Christian and Islamic contexts and discuss Muslim community construction in Arabic popular genres, enslaved concubines and mother-child relations, and the depiction of Black characters in Castilian royal manuscripts. Exploring how categories of human difference were racialized, transgressed, and reified, this interdisciplinary panel on race uncovers the interconnected histories of exclusion and belonging across the medieval Mediterranean through novel research and methodologies.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, access has become a much-debated topic. Free access is repeatedly claimed - access to education, to resources, to personal or societal prosperity etc. "Open Access" is revolutionising the world of publishing in general and academe in particular. Such recent developments make researchers curious to know more about the ways and means in which access was established, controlled and regulated in premodern societies. This question is particularly intriguing when dealing with a space which is generally perceived as open to all: the sea.
This conference will discuss access to the sea in a twofold manner. First, it will focus on types of documents that reveal how accessing the waters was monitored along the Mediterranean shores. The invited speakers therefore not only cover a wide geographical range reaching from the Eastern to the Western Mediterranean, encompassing Byzantine, Muslim and Latin polities. They will also present and discuss a typologically broad spectrum of documents: Insurance licenses, customs registers, tax waivers, merchants’ manuals, notarial records, narrative sources etc.
Secondly, by doing so the participants themselves will attempt to access maritime history from an innovative analytical perspective. Thinking and discussing the inherent tension between sharing and curating access, between mobility and stasis might contribute to developing new ways of approaching Mediterranean mobility and connectivity in the Middle Ages. A part of the workshop will therefore be dedicated to presenting and discussing new technical means of mining, collecting, retrieving, reassembling and visualising relevant data with the help of databases

This paper aims to show how 11th-century Byzantine historians viewed Italy and Sicily during a specific period when the Empire lost all its possessions in these provinces. By analysing the histories of Michael Psellus, Cecaumenus, Michael Attaliates, John Scylitzes, and Scylitzes Continuatus, we explore their portrayal of the loss of these provinces, which were historically closely linked to Ancient Roman history. After presenting Byzantine Italy and Sicily in the 11th century, the paper discusses the image of Italy as the birthplace of Ancient Rome and references to the distant past of Italy and Sicily found in the texts under review. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of Italy and Sicily for these historians, examining possible differences in their presentation of the provinces and the reasons behind them. In the final part, the paper analyses how anecdotes in the histories can offer valuable information on the understanding of these regions and their place in Byzantine collective memory.

This is the first academic monograph centered on the idea that the Muslim Zirid dynasty of Ifriqiya and the Christian Norman dynasty of southern Italy and Sicily were far more connected than previously thought. In Dynasties Intertwined: The Zirids of Ifriqiya and the Normans of Sicily, Matt King argues that if we are to understand properly the Norman conquest of Sicily in the eleventh century and the later, short-lived Norman kingdom of Africa in the twelfth, we cannot do so without first examining the Zirids and their own dynastic and political trajectory. King claims that these two dynasties cooperated nearly as often as they vied against one another, a view that previous scholarly foci obscured until now. Throughout the book, King focuses on how the actions of one ruler or dynasty were often mirrored by the other.

This article investigates duality in the colonial practice of French laïcité and how Muslim intellectuals responded to it in early 20th-century colonial Algeria. The principle of laïcité in colonial Algeria operated contradictorily between the realms of law and worship. France imposed juridical laïcité on Algerian Muslims by requiring them to renounce their religious personal status law to obtain full citizenship. However, it did not uphold laïcité when applying the 1905 Law of Separation of Church and State to Algeria incompletely to allow colonial authorities to control religious practices. This dual policy imposed laïcité as an obligation on Muslims in the judicial area while depriving them of laïcité as a right - freedom of worship. In response, the Jeune Algerien (Young Algerian) movement, a group of modern Muslim intellectuals emerging in the early 20th century, demanded greater rights for Algerian Muslims. This paper examines how these Muslim intellectuals addressed the issue of laïcité by focusing on their engagement with the two pillars of French laïcité: juridical laïcité as a prerequisite for citizenship and laïcité in terms of worship enshrined in the Law of Separation. Specifically, this study analyzes Emir Khaled’s political activism, thereby revealing that Algerian Muslim intellectuals in the early 20th century reconfigured French laïcité into a new form of imperial citizenship that would weaken laïcité as an obligation and promote laïcité as a right.

This dissertation is an investigation of the religiohistorical phenomenon of Islamic pilgrimage (ziyāra) to Jerusalem during the Mamlūk period (648-922 A.H./1250-1517 C.E.). Through an in-depth analysis of the Faḍāʾil al-Quds (Merits of Jerusalem) corpus dating from the Mamlūk period, the study establishes that Islamic pilgrimage to Jerusalem increased significantly during this time. These texts, which also served as pilgrimage guides to Jerusalem, peaked in production during the Mamlūk centuries. Moreover, the corpus underwent notable changes in its structure, content, and authorship. The remarkable change in both the quality and quantity of texts produced at this time reflects a golden age of the Faḍāʾil al-Quds literature. The current study demonstrates that this increased production of texts corresponded to a substantial increase in Islamic pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Thus, it is argued that the Faḍāʾil al-Quds texts influenced and stimulated pilgrimage and, reciprocally, the increase in pilgrimage promoted the composition of more texts. It is hypothesized that the impact of the Crusades and the Sunni Revival movement contributed significantly to the growth of the practice in Jerusalem during the Mamlūk period.

Welcome to the 12 th International Medieval Meeting Lleida which will take place between the 5 th and 7 th of June 2024. During the Middle Ages, government is a game of negotiation between power holders. Concepts such as the common good, power of the people, conciliarism, universities, and double rule (mere and mixed empire) were used in an era when negotiation, justifying speeches, and ostentation (at different levels and social strata) ended up imposing themselves. The sovereign had to deal with certain collectives by claiming that he spoke on their behalf. Thus, contractual monarchy and representativeness were key contributions of the Middle Ages. The evidence of these realities can be found in art, literature, archaeology, and documentation… The researcher only needs to examine them. The International Medieval Meeting Lleida invites all attendants to take an interdisciplinary approach to explore this important point in history. Simultaneously, and thereby reaffirming its importance as a meeting point for young and established medievalists, the 12 th International Medieval Meeting Lleida offers a further 16 thematic strands to update and share our medieval studies, attending the different lines of research, methodologies and ways of diffusion:

The history of the Mozarabic community and its practices has already been examined from various perspectives. The aim of this session of "Euro-Mediterranean Entanglements in Medieval History" is to take a closer look at the role of Mozarabic women, their multiple identities and the scope of their actions in the domestic and public spheres between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries in Toledo.
