Codex Calixtinus English Pdf Codex calixtinus english pdf Continue The 12th century collection of manuscripts Details from the Codextinus Folio 4r, featuring St. James the Great Codex Calixtinus (also Compostellus) is the main witness of the 12th century Liber Sancti Jacobi, or The Book of St. James. This is a peodepigraph attributed to Pope Callikst II; its main author or compiler is called Pseudo-Callixtus, often identified with the French scientist Aimeris Pico. The most likely date of its compilation is the period 1138-1145. It was conceived as an anthology of background details and advice for pilgrims following the path of St. James to the shrine of st. James the Great, located in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia (Spain). The collection includes sermons, talks on miracles and liturgical texts related to St. Iakia, and a set of polyphonic music. It also contains descriptions of the route, works of art that can be seen along the way, and the customs of the local population. The history of the compilation of the Calixtinus Code precedes 1173 most likely takes place in the late 1130s to the early 1140s. This compilation is most likely due to the French scientist Aimerik Pico. Each of the five books is preceded by a pseudo-graphic letter attributed to Pope Callikst II (d. 1124). The annex contains a letter from Pope Innocent II (d. 1143) in which he presents Santiago's finished work. There are some suggestive clues at a later date of around 1160, but none of them make an impossible date around 1140. Miracles in Book II are told with their dates, between 1080 and 1135, so that the completion of the compilation can with some certainty be dated between 1135 and 1173, and most likely to the 1140s. , Codex Calixtinus is the archetype of the manuscript for the composite Liber sancti Jacobi. For this reason, the terms Liber sancti Jacobi and Codex Calixtinus are often used interchangeable. The historical content of the collection is the appearance of St. James as the patron saint for the fight against Islam in Iberia. It has also been suggested that the book was written in deliberately bad Latin and is in fact a kind of grammar book. The oldest copy of the Code, known as the Ripoll (after the monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll in Catalonia), was made in 1173 by the monk Arnaldo de Monte. This date serves as the term ante quem for Liber compilation (except for applications). Many later copies of the work exist. The Calixtinus Codex was long held in the archives of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and was rediscovered there by the Jesuit scholar Padre Fidel Fita in 1886. The first edition of the text was prepared in 1932 Muir Whitehill, and published in 1944 in Spain Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cient'ficas, along with the music-and-ological study of the House of Jermaine Prado O.S.B., and another on miniature illustrations by Jesus Carro Garcia. The book was stolen from her security case in the archives of the cathedral on July 3, 2011. The Spanish press suggested that the theft could have confused the administration of the cathedral because of weak security measures or an attempt to settle a personal or professional complaint. On July 4, 2012, the code was found in the garage of a former employee of the cathedral. The former employee, believed to be the intellectual author of the theft, and three other members of his family were detained and questioned until one of them disclosed the location of the code. In addition, several other items stolen from the cathedral were found in the former staff member's house. The Code appeared to be in perfect condition, but an in-depth analysis was needed to verify it. The former cathedral employee was found guilty of stealing the code and 2.4 million euros from the collection boxes, and in February 2015 was sentenced to ten years in prison. The composition of the Opening Letter, purportedly from Pope Calixte II, a copy of Santiago de Compostela consists of five volumes and two appendages, a total of 225 bilateral sheets every 295 × 214 mm. His oversized pages were cut during restoration in 1966. With a few exceptions, each folio displays one column of thirty-four lines of text. Book IV was torn apart in 1609, either by accident or by order of King Philip III, and it was restored during the restoration. Pope Callickst II's letter, which opens the book, occupies both the recto and verso of the first two sheets. The author, who claims to be Callixtus II, describes how he collected many testimonies of the good works of St. James, crossing the cruel foundations and provinces for fourteen years. He also describes how the manuscript experienced many dangers from fire to drowning. The letter is addressed to the very holy congregation of the Basilica of Clooney and Diego, Archbishop of Compostela. Book I: Book of Liturgy Anthology of liturgy. Book I is almost half of the entire code and contains sermons and sermons concerning St. James, two descriptions of his martyrdom and official liturgies for his veneration. His relative size and the information he contains about the spiritual aspects of the pilgrimage make him the heart of the code. The sermon veneranda Dies is the longest work in Book 1 and seems to have been part of the celebration of St. James's Day (July 25). It is dedicated to the life, death and translation of the remains of St. James; discusses the path to Compostela, both physically and spiritually; and celebrates blessings of the saint were given to pilgrims of the route, through Spain and through Galicia. Book II: The Book of Wonders de miraculis sancti Jacobi. Agiographic book II is a story about twenty-two miracles throughout Europe attributed to St. Iak, both during his lifetime and after his death. Recipients and witnesses of these miracles are often pilgrims. Book III: The Transfer of the Body of Santiago Liber de Translation corporis sancti Jacobi ad Compostellam. Book III is the shortest of the five books and describes the translation of the body of St. James from Jerusalem to his tomb in Galicia. He also talks about the custom started by the first pilgrims to collect souvenir sea shells from the Galician coast. The scallop shell is a symbol of St. James. Book IV: The Story of Charlemagne and Roland History of Karoly Magni and Rotoland. The main article: Historia Caroli Magni Book IV is attributed to Archbishop Reims Turpin and is commonly referred to as Pseudoturpine, although it is the work of an anonymous 12th century writer. It describes the arrival of Charlemagne in Spain, his defeat at the Battle of Rontsevo and the death of Knight Roland. He tells the story of how St. Jacob appeared in his dream to Charlemagne, urging him to free his grave from the Moors and showing him the direction the Milky Way follows. This association gave the Milky Way an alternative name in Spain camino de Santiago. The chapter also includes a story about Roland's defeat by the giant Saracen Ferragut. This widely publicized and multi-part book describing the legend of Santiago Matamoros or St. James Murslayer is seen by scholars as an early example of the Catholic Church's propaganda to attract recruits to the military order of Santiago. The Order was created to help protect church interests in northern Spain from The Moorish invaders. Military orders of the Middle Ages were closely associated with the Crusades. In later years, the legend became a kind of embarrassment in the depiction of St. James as a bloodthirsty avenger 800 years after his death. (quote is necessary) King Philip III ordered the removal of Book IV from the code and for some time to distribute it in a separate volume. Across northern Spain along the St James's Path, known as Camino France, most churches and cathedrals still have sculptures and chapels applauded by St. James Maverslayer. Today, this legend in northern Spain has a cultural and historical significance that is completely separate from any original intentions of the Catholic Church. Book V: A guide for traveller Iter pro peregrinis ad Compostellam. Book V is a set of practical tips for pilgrims informing them about where they should stay, the relics they should read, the sanctuaries they should visit, the bad food they should be wary of, and scammers, including, according to the author, other churches that claimed to hold relics of St. James. The book provides valuable information about the life of a 12th century pilgrim. He also describes the city of Santiago de Compostela and its cathedral. The popular appeal of Book V has made it the most famous, and it has been described as the first tourist guide. Among Basque scholars, this story is considered very important because it contains some of the earliest Basque words and phrases from the Postream period. In 1993, the Spanish section of the pilgrimage was added to the World Heritage List, describing it as a testament to the power of the Christian faith among people of all social classes. The French section joined the list in 1998, when UNESCO proclaimed the cultural and historical significance of the Unesco World Heritage sites of the Santiago de Compostela routes in France. The Music Three Parts of the Calixtinus Codex include Music: Book I, Appendix I and Appendix II. These passages are of great interest to music scholars as they include early examples of polyphony. The Codex contains the first known composition for three voices, the conductus Congaudeant catholici (Let all Catholics rejoice together); however, the extreme dissonance faced when all three voices came forward together led some scholars to suggest that this was not the original intention.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

  • An Educational Journey on the Camino De Santiago
    UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT SUMMER 2017 (May 23 - June 1) Hiking Through History: An Educational Journey on the Camino de Santiago McKew Devitt, Senior Lecturer Romance Languages The Camino de Santiago is truly an amazing cultural experience. The ‘Way of St. James’ is a pilgrimage route that transverses the northern part of Spain, starting at two points at the border with France and ending in the city of Santiago de Compostela in the province of Galicia. The trail offers a plethora of historical, religious, and cultural contexts to teach students about Spain and also its relation to Europe. From its origins during the times of the reconquista to its current status as UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Camino provides a unique opportunity for students who are interested in seeing Spain while following in the footsteps of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who came before them. I have hiked the Camino several times and know first-hand the benefits it would offer students participating in a travel study course. We will start in the city of León and finish in Santiago de Compostela 12 days later, having covered 281 kilometers, or 175 miles. We will also be spending a full day in Madrid and have time to see the Prado museum and some of the other sites the capital has to offer. The intention for this course is to develop a travel study opportunity that would offer a once in a lifetime experience, an opportunity to see Spain from the unique perspective of the Camino. This course presents a challenge for anyone, no matter how physically fit they may be, and this should be a serious consideration before signing up for it.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

  • 321 a Juridical Chapter in the History of the Order
    321 A JURIDICAL CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF THE ORDER OF CALATRAVA, THE MASTERSHIP OF DON ALONSO DE ARAGON (1443-1444) by SOPHIA MENACHE (Haifa)* The administration of the Order of Calatrava, entrusted by Pope Innocent VIII to King Ferdinand the Catholic (1485), hints at the culmination of a process which the centralizing Castilian Monarchy attempted with ultimate success, that of bringing the Military Orders under its rule'. The Orders of Alcantara and San- tiago were also submitted to royal control, in 1493 and 1494 respectively 2. This process reflects the development by the late Middle Ages of the Military Orders in the Iberian peninsula. Born amidst the religious fervour and the advance of the twelfth century Reconquista, the Military Orders became an economic and political power which no monarch could ignore 3. Moreover, while favouring the ascendency of the Military Orders, the Spanish monarchs had tried to ad- vance their own control of the Orders by all the means at their disposal. The elec- tion of masters, with the control they exercised in both spiritual and temporal af- fairs of the Orders, played a crucial role in the royal centralizing policy'. In- deed, before Ferdinand the Catholic received papal authorization to administrate the Military Orders, his royal ancestors had promoted the election of their pro- to the mastership. In 1409, for instance, Fernando de Antequera, at that time the regent of Castile, managed to obtain the Mastership of the Orders of * This article was written during a sabbatical year at the Center for MedievalStudies at Fordham University.I would like to express my deep gratitude to Prof.

  • Muslim and Jewish “Otherness” in the Spanish Nation-Building Process Throughout the Reconquista (1212-1614)
    MUSLIM AND JEWISH “OTHERNESS” IN THE SPANISH NATION-BUILDING PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE RECONQUISTA (1212-1614) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES OF MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY BY EVRİM TÜRKÇELİK IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN STUDIES AUGUST 2003 ABSTRACT MUSLIM AND JEWISH “OTHERNESS” IN THE SPANISH NATION- BUILDING PROCESS THROUGHOUT THE RECONQUISTA (1212-1614) Türkçelik, Evrim M.Sc. Department of European Studies Supervisor: Assist.Prof.Dr. Mustafa Soykut August 2003, 113 pages In 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Isabel and Ferdinand conquered Granada, the last Muslim Kingdom in Spain, issued the edict of expulsion of Jews and charged Christopher Columbus to find out a western route to Indies who by coincidence discovered America. These three momentous events led to construction of Spanish national unity and of the Spanish world empire. In this study, what we are looking for is the impact of the first two events, the conquest of Granada and the expulsion of the Jews, on the formation of the Spanish national unity and the Spanish nationhood vis-à-vis Jews and Muslims in its historical context. In this study, the concept of nation-building would be employed not in economic but in political, religious and cultural terms. This study, by using the historical analysis method, found that centuries-long Muslim and Jewish presence in Spain and the Spaniards’ fight for exterminating this religious, cultural and political pluralism led to the formation of unitary Catholic state and society in Spain in the period under consideration.
