Title Story, page 36 German Archaeological Institute COVER PHOTO A small island off Morocco’s Atlantic coast – in antiquity a peninsula – was where the west Phoenician maritime trade route met an African caravan road. There was sale and barter, the latest news was exchanged and tales were told from all corners of the world. The hotly traded goods were fish in great quantities, ivory, met- als, exotic animals, the amber-like resin of Thuja ber- berisca/citrus, and precious spices. Our cover photo shows Essaouira, the town on the mainland. It was known as the “harbour of Timbuktu” until the sixties. Caravans continued to arrive from the African hinterland and all European trading nations maintained consulates in the little coastal town.

Naturally the tasks of archaeology have changed since then; its methods have been enriched by theoretical approaches which no one thought about almost 200 years ago. And where once the object itself was the focus of interest, now it is the cultural context which archaeology seeks to reveal, very much in the spirit of internationally and scientifically multidisciplinary Area Stud- ies.

  • The Poet and His Readers: the Social and Poetic Matrix of Garcilaso De La Vega
    The Poet and His Readers: The Social and Poetic Matrix of Garcilaso de la Vega Casey Robert Eriksen Charlottesville, Virginia MA, University of Virginia, 2012 BA, The College of New Jersey, 2010 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese University of Virginia April 2016 Eriksen ii Abstract This dissertation examines the social and literary matrix of Garcilaso’s poetry, and, by extension, the forces of canonization that shape and efface poets and poetic works over time. The study explores the circulation and diffusion of Garcilaso’s corpus in humanist circles. The material manipulation of Garcilaso’s poetry has affected reception in significant ways. The presence of numerous editorial hands in the initial compilation and organization of Garcilaso’s work speaks to the ways in which scholars received and commented on the poet in subsequent editions. An attention to material circumstances, including manuscript circulation and published editions, likewise provides insight into early literary histories of Garcilaso from a material perspective. Chapter three formulates an Ovidian analysis of the “Ode ad florem Gnidi,” the Second Elegy, and several Sonnets to outline a new reading on Garcilaso’s engagement with Latin models and humanistic culture at large. The rediscovery of these influences— particularly in the case of the “Ode ad florem Gnidi”—situates the poet within a broader Renaissance world of Ovidian rewriting. Through the interplay of classical models and cancionero tropes, Garcilaso invokes the ambiguous possibilities of euphemism and double-entendre as he draws upon a shared heritage of lexical play and ambiguity.

    igrating storks soar high on thermals, abandoning Europe for the warmer climes of Africa. Since time began, humans have followed their example, travelling thousands of miles in search of trade or a new life. On this occasion, they’re inspired by a challenge: to ride in two continents in a single day. It sounds a Herculean feat: a ride where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, Europe meets Africa and Christianity meets Islam. Sierra de la Luna in Spain and Jebel Musa in Morocco — 17km apart but separated by the Straits of Gibraltar — could we climb and descend each in 24 hours? On the European side, Sierra de la Luna is 837 metres high, with cork oaks and energy-producing windmills sprouting from its slopes. Its moss-covered forest floor and fern-lined micro track stand in stark contrast to the African side, where Jebel Musa, exposed and dramatic, rises directly from the sea to its jagged peak via a path of scorched earth and rock. Full of undiscovered singletrack, this would be a race against time, travel logistics and bureaucracy — not to mention the limits of our technical ability and physical condition. Shaun Allan, for one, is convinced it’s possible. He runs Ride Sierra Nevada, a guiding outfit near Granada in Spain, and hosts mountain biking holidays in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Together with fixer Csilla De Bagota, master of archeology, sometime anthropologist and organisational genius holding all the ferry tickets, our quest for unridden terrain began on Shaun’s local turf, before crossing the Straits beneath the flocks of migrating birds.

  • La Cronística Toscana Bajomedieval Y La Imagen De La Península Ibérica
    La cronística toscana bajomedieval y la imagen de la Península Ibérica Rafael SÁNCHEZ SESA * Introducción El presente articulo es el fruto de mis investigaciones en diversas bibliotecas de la ciudad de florencia durante mi estancia en Italia a comienzos de 1996. Gra- cías a la colaboración del doctor Franco Cardini, sin cuya ayuda habría sido imposible llevar a buen término este estudio, inicié unaprimera aproximación al tema de la imagen peninsular en las crónicas bajomedievales toscanas. En un principio la línea propuesta por el profesor Cardini, uno de los principales exper- tos europeos sobre las Cruzadas, se limitaba al análisis de las noticias referentes a la Reconquista o Cruzada de las Españas, pero de forma consciente decidí ampliar el abanico temático, para ofrecer así un planteamiento vinculado a la que podríamos llamar historia de la imagen del otm o del concepto de alteridad De esta forma surgió la idea de realizar un primer acercamiento a la ima- gen que los italianos —más concretamente, los toscanos— tenían de la Península Ibérica y de sus pobladores en la Baja Edad Media, a través de las pinceladas que reflejan las crónicas de la época 2 Las noticias son escasas, pero significativas, sobre todo las que proceden de los comerciantes florenti- nos o pisanos que asiduamente visitaban los puertos del Levante hispano o las derivadas de la presencia aragonesa en el sur de Italia.

  • The History of Roman Durrës (I-IV E.S.)
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 2 S2 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy August 2015 The History of Roman Durrës (I-IV E.S.) Arlind Kasa PhD Candidate, Faculty of Business, “Aleksander Moisiu” University, Durrës, Albania Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n2s2p28 Abstract The main purpose of this presentation is to review and reappraise of the ancients fonts with new archaeological found discovered recently in Durrës, in these fifteen years. The city of Durrës in ancient periods was named Epidamnos, after Dyrrachium in Roman period and now Durrës. I will discuss for the roman colonization in Dyrrachium, when he was founded, why was changed the name in roman period, why Dyrrachium lost his independence and what had happened in Dyrrachium during Imperial Roman Period based in new archaeological found that had helped to reappraise of ancient authors. Keywords: hellen colonization of Epidamnos, Illirian people in Epidamnos, Dyrrachium, Imperial Roman Period. 1. Introduction Epidamnos-Dyrrachium were the names that Durrës had in ancient periods. The researchers are in one mind that these two names tell two different part of the city. Thucydidis had told us that Epidamnos was founded by Greek colons from Corcyra and Corinthin 627 B. C (Thycydides, 2002). Another question for to discuss is: Epidamnos and Dyrrachium were one or two different city? Today exist three theories that treated these problem. The first, is that Epidamnos and Dyrrachium was an only city, which in early period was called Epidamnos and when Durrës was invaded from Rome, they changed the name in Dyrrachium because the name Epidamnos was sinister for roman than remembers the word damnus (bad) (Melae, 2002; Plinus, 2002; Appiani, 2002).

  • Alexander Conze, on the Origin of the Visual Arts, Lecture Held on July 30, 1896 [In the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences] Translated and Edited by Karl Johns
    Alexander Conze, On the Origin of the Visual Arts, Lecture held on July 30, 1896 [in the Royal Prussian Academy of Sciences] translated and edited by Karl Johns Editor’s introduction: Alexander Conze: The Bureaucrat and Art- Historiography Like a number of his colleagues, Alexander Conze (Hanover December 10, 1831- Berlin July 19, 1914), came to classical archaeology after first studying law. His interests and gifts seem to have tended more toward curatorial and administrative work rather than lecturing, and he will be primarily remembered for his part in bringing the Pergamon Altar to the Berlin museums. It may therefore seem ironic that he nevertheless had a great influence as a teacher and probably the greatest influence in another field, which was only later to be defined and brought to fruition in academia by his students as ‘the history of art.’ For the purposes of art historiography it is therefore significant that after nearly ten years at Halle as Extraordinarius, he was called to the University of Vienna as Ordinarius, taught from 1869 to 1877, where Franz Wickhoff, Alois Riegl, Emanuel Löwy and Julius Schlosser, among others, were influenced by his teachings. In the lectures given by Conze to the Prussian academy later in his career, it is not difficult to recognize a similarity to Schlosser in the binocular attraction of more abstract questions on the one hand and the aesthetic appeal of the individual object on the other. Conze also anticipated and presumably inspired the later studies made by Ernst Garger on the ground in relief sculpture and the historical place of the Monument of the Julii.
