Acknowledgements : This dissertation could not have been completed without the support of my professors, collaborators, family, and friends. I am especially grateful for the constant encouragement, direction, and insight of Professors Guy Raffa and Hannah Wojciehowski. I send my profound thanks to Prof. F. Regina Psaki who offered invaluable suggestions on translation and brought to my attention many nuances of language and argumentation that I would not have discovered without her help. I would like to express my special thanks to Professor Fabrizio Cigni who took time out of his busy schedule teaching at the Scuola Normale di Pisa to discuss various aspects of Rustichello and his work in Summer 2015. This dissertation is greatly indebted to the previous work done by Prof. Cigni on Rustichello and also the phenomenal work of Amanda Luyster on the fresco cycle at St. Floret. Furthermore, I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to Professors Douglas Biow and Daniel Birkholz, both of whom offered great suggestions to improve upon this dissertation. I owe a great depth of gratitude to Prof. Michael Johnson who gave me the initial inspiration to write on Rustichello‘s Arthurian Compilation, and who was also extremely helpful with my Anglo Norman translations. Moreover, thanks to Prof. Geraldine Heng for the lively conversations on Marco Polo, Prof. Jean Holladay for queries about the art and images in the manuscripts, and Prof. Norris Lacy for providing insight on the placement of Rustichello in the Arthurian tradition. I would also like to thank the office and staff of the Department of French and Italian who attempted to keep me on track and motivated. I am especially indebted to the Graduate Coordinator(s) Michael Schmidt and his predecessor, Katherine Jaroschy for their excellent organizational skills. Additionally, I send a humble thanks to the University of Texas Graduate School, Department of French and Italian at v the University of Texas, Texas Language Center, and the Department of Medieval Studies at the University of Texas (especially Prof. Liz Scala), all of which provided the necessary funding for research and the completion of this dissertation. Likewise, I wish to thank the Mellon Summer Institute in Italian Paleography at the Getty Research Institute for their financial support, and particularly Dr. Maddalena Signorini who taught me the rudiments of paleography, Summer 2014. Similarly, many thanks to Mme Frédérique Havette who opened up the château at St. Floret and answered my many question about the fresco cycle there on my research trip in the Auvergne, in Summer 2015. Lastly, thank you for the continuous support of my dearest friends: Wendy, Mirka, Paolo, Alessio, Marie and Luciano, Chiara, and Claude. vi Turning the Tables on Romance: Rustichello da Pisa Invents a New Chivalric Table in his Arthurian Compilation by Elizabeth Ann Florea, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2017 Co-Supervisors: Guy Raffa and Hannah Wojciehowski Abstract Rustichello da Pisa, the thirteenth century Italian compiler of Arthurian romance and later the co-author of Marco Polo’s Milione (1296-1299), is usually only a footnote in the anthologies of Italian Literature. Yet his Arthurian Compilation was still being reproduced over four hundred years after his death. In 1272-73 Rustichello wrote his Arthurian Compilation from a book (dou livre) in the collection of King Edward I of England. This work is the first known Arthurian prose romance written by an Italian in the literary language known as Franco-Italian. The Compilation begins with Rustichello’s original episodes of Branor le Brun and then proceeds to extrapolate sections of other French romance texts. Yet it is the Branor le Brun episodes, the original story invented by Rustichello, that has pride of place at the beginning of the Compilation. Thus, although Rustichello copied much of his Compilation from other works, he was also an original and innovative author and should be remembered as such. Hence, this dissertation will offer a topical reading of the original episodes of Branor le Brun found in Rustichello da Pisa’s Arthurian Compilation. Furthermore, I will draw out the influence of these original episodes— political, literary, and, in one case, visual—in and beyond Italy. vii Table of Contents: Abstract ................................................................................................................. vii List of Tables: ..........................................................................................................x List of Figures: ....................................................................................................... xi Introduction ..............................................................................................................1 Chapter 1 -- Argument for BnF MS fr. 1463 .........................................................29 Publication and Criticism of the Compilation ..............................................31 Narrative Voice and Role-playing in the Compilation .................................37 Physical description of BnF MS fr.1463.......................................................51 Chapter 2 -- Edward I: Rustichello’s Reborn King Arthur ....................................60 Edward’s Literary Tastes ..............................................................................64 Becoming a Knight: Edward I and Tournaments .........................................67 Edward and the Second Barons’ War ...........................................................69 Edward, the Crusades, and Literature during the Crusades ..........................70 Edward I and Rustichello da Pisa .................................................................75 The Lance and the Quintain ..........................................................................79 The Quasi-giants: Branor le Brun and Edward I ..........................................83 Purity, Piety, and Poetry ...............................................................................86 The Art of Chivalry according to Branor le Brun and Edward .....................89 The Missing Manuscript ...............................................................................94 Edward’s Utilization of King Arthur: Building Legacy ...............................95 Conclusion ..................................................................................................101 Chapter 3 – Ghibelline Knights?

    THE CRUSADES Toward the End of the 11Th Century

    THE MIDDLE AGES: THE CRUSADES Toward the end of the 11th century (1000’s A.D), the Catholic Church began to authorize military expeditions, or Crusades, to expel Muslim “infidels” from the Holy Land!!! Crusaders, who wore red crosses on their coats to advertise their status, believed that their service would guarantee the remission of their sins and ensure that they could ​ ​ spend all eternity in Heaven. (They also received more worldly rewards, such as papal protection of their property and forgiveness of some kinds of loan payments.) ‘Papal’ = Relating to The Catholic Pope (Catholic Pope Pictured Left <<<) The Crusades began in 1095, when Pope Urban summoned a Christian army to fight its way to Jerusalem, and continued on and off until the end of the 15th century (1400’s A.D). No one “won” the Crusades; in fact, many thousands of people from both sides lost their lives. They did make ordinary Catholics across Christendom feel like they had a common purpose, and they inspired waves of religious enthusiasm among people who might otherwise have felt alienated from the official Church. They also exposed Crusaders to Islamic literature, science and technology–exposure that would have a lasting effect on European intellectual life. GET THE INFIDELS (Non-Muslims)!!!! >>>> <<<“GET THE MUSLIMS!!!!” Muslims From The Middle East VS, European Christians WHAT WERE THE CRUSADES? By the end of the 11th century, Western Europe had emerged as a significant power in its own right, though it still lagged behind other Mediterranean civilizations, such as that of the Byzantine Empire (formerly the eastern half of the Roman Empire) and the Islamic Empire of ​ ​ ​ the Middle East and North Africa.

  • Thirty Years After: American Vietnam War Literature

    Thirty Years After: American Vietnam War Literature

    Rosso­Manoa­Nov. 2005­p. 1 Thirty Years After: American Vietnam War Literature in Italian Stefano Rosso (University of Bergamo) [email protected] (23.000 bytes, including notes and bibliography) It is well known that the American War in Vietnam had a great impact in Europe from 1966 up to the American withdrawal and the fall of Saigon. The Vietnam War triggered off an unprecedented anti­imperialist political awareness in Italy, too. Several books and essays on history and politics –some translated from English and French– 1 came out between the mid sixties and the early seventies and were the most important references on imperialism until the coup d’état against Salvador Allende and Chile’s legitimate government aided by the CIA in 1973. Seminars on the Vietnam War became frequent in schools and universities; newspapers and journals, not necessarily left­oriented, continued publishing articles critical of American intervention. The slogan “Yankees Go Home!”, chanted during the major Italian anti­imperialist mass demonstrations, came to mean only one thing: “Americans Get Out of Vietnam!” 2 In the publishing world, the so­called “Sessantotto”, the 1968 protest movement, was also characterized by the end of the “editori protagonisti” (protagonist publishers), such as Mondadori, Einaudi, Garzanti and, later, Feltrinelli, that is, the end of a long period – from the 1930s to the 1960s – dominated by a few publishers with a strong, articulated and recognizable cultural project involving intellectuals and thinkers. The late sixties saw, on the one hand, the birth of several small and very small publishers, and on the other, a strong process of concentration among the major companies.

    "On the Relations of Canaanite Exploration to Pre-Historic Classic

    176 ON THE RELATIONS OF CANAANITE EXPLORATION These inecriptions, and the bas-reliefs on the monument called Kamna Hurmill, in Crelo-Syria, near the source of the Orontes, and possibly of the same pe1·iod, are an enigma, as yet, to the most learned Orientaliots. It is to be hoped, however, now that attention is again called to the subject, that the clue may be found that shall unlock their meaning, and that Northern 8yI"ia will be no longer overlooked by tho explorer. DISCOVERY AT THE l\IOSQUE EL AKS.A, JERUSALEM.-llo A DISCOVERY of considerable interest has been made in this :Mosque by the Rev. J. Neil, who has only recently gone to Jerusalem for the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. "In the Mosque of El Aksa," he writes, "you will remember that there is a long plain room opening out at the south-east angle, called the Mosque of Omar, in which the only object of interest whatever is a recess supported by two twisted pillars, and called the Mihrab, or Praying-place of Omar. You may, perhaps, remember that the pillars on each side of this recess, of Solomonic twisted pattern and polished marble, appear to have been turned upside down, and to have their capitals of greyish stone in broken leaf-like patterns below. On vi~iting this the day before yesterday, July 5th, I discovered that a great part of the yellowish plaster had been removed from the top of these pillars, and that rich grotesquely carved capitals were exposed to view in an admirable state of preserva­ tion.

  • The Book of Quests

    The Book of Quests

    THE BOOK OF QUESTS uests are the driving force in the life of every noble Knight. So it should Qbe no surprise to find Quests at the very heart of Shadows over Camelot. While the content of the Rules Booklet should be familiar to every aspiring Knight, the Book of Quests is primarily a reference, written for inquisitive Knights in search of insight, or the scheming Traitor looking for a lethal edge. In the back of this book you will find two appendices. The first, unearthed from , old manuscripts, offers a glimpse of each Knight s personality. The second is a detailed manifest of each card used in the game. In this booklet, page numbers given in reference point to the corresponding entries in the Rules booklet, unless indicated otherwise. nnnnnnnnnn THE QUESTS nnnnnnnnnn There are several “Standard” Quests in Camelot’s immediate vicinity: N The Tournament against the Black Knight N The Quest for Lancelot N The Dragon’s Quest N The Quest for Excalibur N The Quest for the Holy Grail N The Pict and Saxon Wars each with its own entry in the Book of Quests. For each Quest won or lost, new Swords are laid onto the Round Table. As the game progresses, the Swords show which side currently has the advantage. There are also two “Special” Quests within Camelot proper, where a defeat spells immediate doom for the Loyal Knights: • The Siege of Camelot, which is lost if 12 Siege Engines ever surround Camelot; • and The Quest of the Round Table, where the outcome of the game is decided in favor of whichever color Swords have the majority, once 12 or more have been laid down.
