THE CASE-STUDIES OF SOUTHERN ITALY AND ROMANIA THE SACRUM INFIRMARIUM OF THE CONVENT OF SAN GREGORIO ARMENO* GEMMA COLESANTI**, MIRIAM PALOMBA*** INTRODUCTION From the analysis of the edited documentation1 of one of the oldest and richest convents in Naples, at least until the fourteenth century, dedicated to San Gregorio Armeno (Saint Gregory of Armenia) a series of questions arose that suggested some reflections on the strategy, activism and feminine management of a monastic space open to the city. First of all, we asked ourselves how this enormous patrimony managed exclusively by nuns was formed; and then how it was possible to measure the protagonism and authority of these nuns both within the community and within the city of Naples itself. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CONVENT Before entering into the merits of the text, it seems useful to quickly go over some data that help to frame the monastic body within the history of the city of Naples. The convent is still located in the heart of the ancient city and its history begins in the eighth century. The foundation is probably due to a group of nuns of the order of Saint Basil, who fled Constantinople after 729, almost certainly following the development of the iconoclastic struggle. The nuns arrived in Naples, found hospitality near the diaconia of San Gennaro all’Olmo and organized themselves in * This article is

But by the end of that century, Lombards coming from Northern Italy had conquered most of the peninsula, with Byzantium retaining only Calabria and Sicily. From the middle of the 9th century, the Aghlabid Dynasty of Ifrîquya (the original name of Eastern Maghreb) raided Sicily to take possession of the island. A new Byzantine offensive at the end of the century took back most of the lost territories in Apulia and Calabria and established Bari as the new provincial capital. Lombard territories further north were broken down between three cities led by princes: Capua, Salerno, and Benevento. Further east, Italian duchies of Naples, Amalfi, and Gaeta tried to keep their autonomy through successive alliances with the various regional powers to try and maintain their commercial interests. Ethnic struggles in Sicily between Arabs and Berbers on the one side, and various dynasties on the other side, led to power fragmentation: The island is divided between four rival military factions at the beginning of the 11th century. Beyond its natural boundaries, Southern Italy had to cope with two external powers which were looking to expel Byzantium from what they considered was part of their area of influence: the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire.

  • Mihai-Cristian Amăriuţei, Lidia Cotovanu, Ovidiu-Victor
    MIHAI-CRISTIAN AMĂRIUŢEI, LIDIA COTOVANU, OVIDIU-VICTOR OLAR, Phanariot Donations to the Mega Spileon Monastery (18th Century) Abstract: The monastery of Great Cave (Mega Spileon) from Moreea has occupied a special place in the consciousness of the Eastern Christianity subjected to the Ottoman sultan, being at a certain moment named the New Jerusalem. According to tradition, this monastery keeps a miracle-working icon of the Holy Virgin painted by the holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke. This monastery received donations from ‘Phanariote’ princes of Moldova and Wallachia. The chronology of these donations seems to connect their beginning to the restoration of Ottoman rule in Pelopones and the return of the monastery (with other monasteries from the region) under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchy of Constantinople in 1715-16. Although it is possible that occasional aids were sent to this monastery in early sixteenth century, the lack of consistent Romanian donations to Pelopones in general and especially to Mega Spileon may be explain by the lack of migration from that region to northern Danube. The first donations of Moldavian and Wallachia princes to the Great Cave “imperial and patriarchal” monastery belong to those from Ghica family, while they were ruling in Wallachia in eighteenth century. These initiatives originated essentially in the attribute of Byzantine inspiration, which gave the prince the role of patron of the Orthodox Church supplemented by motivations concerned with devotional traditions of the economy of salvation, the expressing of filial piety of donors, social assistance practices and administration of properties acquired by emigrants in their destination countries. There is a long series of donations made by various Ghica princes – Gregory Ghica, 1733-35, 1748-52, Matei Ghica, 1752-53, Scarlat Ghica, probably in both his reigns in Bucharest and for sure on 5 February 1759, Alexandru Scarlat Ghica on 20 February 1768, Grigore III Ghica on 6 February 1769.

  • Greek As Ottoman? Language, Identity and Mediation of Ottoman Culture in the Early Modern Period1
    Greek as Ottoman? Language, identity and mediation of Ottoman culture in the early modern period1 MICHAŁ WASIUCIONEK New Europe College Bucharest/LuxFaSS Abstract The scope of the paper is to examine the role of Greek as a conduit for the flow of cultural models between the Ottoman centre and the Christian periphery of the empire. The Danubian principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia witnessed throughout the early modern period a number of linguistic shifts, including the replacement of Slavonic literature with the one written in vernacular. Modern Romanian historiography has portrayed cultural change was a teleological one, triggered by the monetization of economy and the rise of new social classes. What this model fails to explain, though, is the partial retrenchment of vernacular as a literary medium in the eighteenth century, as it faced the stiff competition of Greek. The aim of this paper is to look at the ascendancy of Greek in the Danubian principalities and corresponding socio-economic and political changes through Ottoman lens. Rather than a departure from the developments that facilitated the victory of Romanian over Slavonic, the proliferation of Greek can be interpreted as their continuation, reflecting the growing integration of Moldavian and Wallachian elites into the fabric of the Ottoman Empire at the time when a new socio-political consensus was reaching its maturity. By its association with Ottoman-Orthodox Phanariot elites, the Greek language became an important conduit by which the provincial elites were able to integrate themselves within the larger social fabric, while also importing new models from the imperial centre. Keywords: Ottoman Empire; Danubian principalities; Greek language; Identity; Early Modern Period In 1965, a prominent Romanian medievalist Petre P.

Inheriting from their forebears in Normandy a uniquely flexible definition of kinship, these invaders were highly adaptable to the chaotic political landscape of Italy in the High Middle Ages. Entering the scene as mercenaries, pilgrims, and adventurers seeking glory, over the course of the eleventh century they became bandits, then landowners, then counts beneath the native rulers, and finally achieved the status of ducal powers. With no apparent plan leading to this conquest, and many signs that they were possessed of a peerless ability to take advantage of their neighbors' disorder, the Normans under the (in)famous Robert Guiscard and his family created a powerful duchy, and by the middle of the twelfth century the Kingdom of Sicily, which would exert considerable influence over the affairs of the great powers of the papacy, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Byzantine Empire throughout the Crusader Era. The translation of social values, particularly the role of kinship between the Norman rulers, and how these values affected the course of the conquest and its aftermath are the subject of this thesis.
