  • Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By
    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

  • Western Monasticism Ante Litteram
    Hendrik DEY & Elizabeth FENTRESS eds WESTERN MONASTICISM ANTE LITTERAM THE SPACES OF MONASTIC OBSERVANCE IN LATE ANTIQUITY AND THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES — EXTRAIT — 2011 BREPOLS EREMITIC SETTLEMENTS AND POLITICAL AND MILITARY CONTINGENCIES IN THE SIXTH CENTURY: THE CASE OF THE ALTO GARDA BRESCIANO (LAKE GARDA, N. ITALY) G. P. BROGIOLO AND M. IBSEN* Preface The archaeological studies conducted since the end of the 1990s in the Alto Garda bres- ciano (the mountainous terrain along the western shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy) have uncovered, in addition to evidence for settlement patterns, ecclesiastical organization and centers of production, the remains of three upland eremitic sites in the township of Tig- nale. One of them is datable, on the basis of a written source, to around the middle of the sixth century, a date closely compatible with the chronology given for the remaining two sites by archaeological evidence. These hermitages should be seen in the context of a more general proliferation of ascetic retreats around the rest of the periphery of Lake Garda in the modern provinces of Verona and Trento) and on the slopes of Mount Baldo, which deserves more systematic archaeological exploration, the more so because intensive surveys executed over the past ten years in the same areas have documented numerous fortresses and guard posts which belonged to a complex, multi-phased defensive system between the Val d'Adige, Lake Garda and the Giudicarie, one of the most delicate strategic sectors in northern Italy. While the occasional presence of troops is attested in the area from the end of the third century through the fourth, when the neighboring cities of Verona and Trento were being refortified, the fifth century witnessed a concerted effort to construct numerous castra, watchtowers and barriers along the alpine valleys near the lake, situated with an eye to protecting the principal lines of communication in the region.

  • DOCUMENTING MIRACLES in the AGE of BEDE by THOMAS EDWARD ROCHESTER
    SANCTITY AND AUTHORITY: DOCUMENTING MIRACLES IN THE AGE OF BEDE by THOMAS EDWARD ROCHESTER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham July 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This doctoral dissertation investigates the writings of the Venerable Bede (673-735) in the context of miracles and the miraculous. It begins by exploring the patristic tradition through which he developed his own historical and hagiographical work, particularly the thought of Gregory the Great in the context of doubt and Augustine of Hippo regarding history and truth. It then suggests that Bede had a particular affinity for the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles as models for the writing of specifically ecclesiastical history. The use of sources to attest miracle narratives in six hagiographies known to Bede from Late Antiquity are explored before applying this knowledge to Bede and five of his early Insular contemporaries. The research is rounded off by a discussion of Bede’s use of miracles in the context of reform, particularly his desire to provide adequate pastoral care through his understanding of the ideal bishop best exemplified by Cuthbert and John of Beverley.

  • The Translation of St Sylvester's Relics From
    The Translation of St Sylvester’s Relics from Rome to Nonantola: Itineraries of corpora sacra at the Crossroads between Devotion and Identity in Eighth-Tenth-Century Italy Edoardo Manarini* Pope Sylvester I (314-335) became an important figure in the political history of early medieval Italy. His legendary relationship with Constantine I (306-337), the first Christian emperor, played a significant role in establishing his ideological prominence. Declared a saint of the early Roman Church, Sylvester’s relics did not gain much attention until the middle of the eighth century, when they became a source of competition. On the one hand, Roman popes venerated his body in the monastery of St Stephen and St Sylvester, founded by Pope Paul I around 760 inside the Eternal City; on the other hand, the Lombard king Aistulf and his brother-in-law, Abbot Anselm, claimed to have brought Sylvester’s relics north, in order to have them buried in Anselm’s newly founded monastery of Nonantola in the Po Valley. Scholars would appear to have overlooked this major issue when investigating the relation- ship between Lombard elite society and Roman popes in the eighth century. This article will therefore consider the dates, forms, and narratives of the translatio of St Sylvester in order to evaluate Nonantola’s political and ideological involvement in this »holy« movement. The main argument is that through the »journey« of Sylvester’s relics within the Lombard kingdom, King Aistulf was able to increase his prestige and political influence. For its part, Nonantola rewrote the history of its origins by centring it on the relics of the Constantinian pontiff and those of Pope Hadrian I, in order to claim political and spiritual primacy through- out the medieval period.

  • Tubatori E Piffari: Civic Wind Players in Medieval and Renaissance Bergamo *
    TOWNE 175 TUBATORI E PIFFARI: CIVIC WIND PLAYERS IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE BERGAMO * Gary Towne n 5 February 1331, the councils of the commune and the people of Bergamo convened “in the usual way, to the sounds of bells and the voices of heralds,” for O formal submission to King John of Bohemia.1 This event marked the end of the city’s self-government as an independent commune. Yet old customs survived, and subsequent meetings for organization of defense were “convened by trumpets and bells.”2 This fi rst documentation of Bergamo’s civic musicians prefaces the city’s earliest complete surviving set of statutes (1331), but it suggests that city heralds playing the trumpet had fulfi lled an important public role since the unremembered past. Bergamo is a city of great antiquity. It stands about thirty-fi ve miles northeast of Mi- lan, on the last rocky ridge where the foothills of the Alps descend to the Lombard plain. Settlement began as early as 1200 BC and in the sixth century the town was occupied by the Etruscans and then the Gauls, who gave the city its original name Bérghem, latinized as Bergomum when Rome took the city in 196 BC.3 The city received Roman citizenship from Julius Caesar in 49 BC and thrived under the empire until sacked by the Goths, Huns, Vandals, and Alans in the fi fth century. In the next three centuries, the city was controlled by the Goths and the Lombards; then under the Franks it became a part of the Holy Roman Empire.

  • The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension
    The Martyrology of the Monastery of the Ascension Introduction History of Martyrologies The Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. The official Latin version of the Martyrology contains a short liturgical service the daily reading of the Martyrology’s list of saints for each day. The oldest surviving martyologies are the lists of martyrs and bishops from the fourth-century Roman Church. The martyrology wrongly attributed to St. Jerome was written in Ital in the second half of the fifth century, but all the surviving versions of it come from Gaul. It is a simple martyrology, which lists the name of the saint and the date and place of death of the saint. Historical martyrologies give a brief history of the saints. In the eighth and ninth centuries, St. Bede, Rhabanus Maurus, and Usuard all wrote historical martyrologies. The Roman Martyrology, based primarily on Usuard’s, was first published in 1583, and the edition of 1584 was made normative in the Roman rite by Gregory XIII. The post-Vatican II revision appeared first in 2001. A revision that corrected typographical errors and added 117 people canonized by Pope John Paul II between 2001 and 2004, appeared in 2005.1 The Purpose and Principles of This Martyology The primary purpose of this martyrology is to provide an historically accurate text for liturgical use at the monastery, where each day after noon prayer it is customary to read the martyrology for the following day. Some things in this martyrology are specific to the Monastery of the Ascension: namesdays of the members of the community, anniversaries of members of the community who have died, a few references to specific events or saints of local interest.
