  • 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.

Abstract Rare and precious window elements from the Paleochristian Basilica of Saint Sabina in Rome, made of plaster gypsum with translucent selenite used as glass for light transmission, were discovered by Antonio Muñoz during the restoration of the building at the beginning of the 20th c. Originally standing within the stone window frame, were then mounted on wood planks with screws for holding together the scattered fragments. The surfaces were covered with grime and the selenite elements were blinded by the wooden supports. During the recent conservation treatment at ISCR, traces of Egyptian blue on the internal surfaces were detected.

  • PROPERTY and COMPETITION from Its Nucleus in the Sabina Farfa
    CHAPTER TWO PROPERTY AND COMPETITION From its nucleus in the Sabina Farfa extended its influence outward, like rays of light to its admirers, but like the tentacles of an octopus to its critics. Its abbots formed alliances with factions from as far north as Sutri and Viterbo, the staging points for imperial actions in and around Rome, and as far south as Ceprano and Benevento, marking the boundaries of papal authority in the south. Built upon every kind of relationship from imperial alliances to local family ties, these alliances were constandy shifting. Much of Farfa's power and wealth sprang from direct ownership of property, often located in choice locations. Following Pierre Toubert, a virtual school of scholars has been charting Farfa's property in Latium, the March of Ancona, and Umbria.1 The possession of cellae and curtes, and later of castra, fiindi, vici and casalia shows a primarily agricultural territorial organization.2 Nevertheless, patterns of concentration also show that Farfa's prop­ erty had strategic importance. For example, an investigation of its property in Umbria reveals that it was frequently located in high places and along rivers.3 It formed a double wedge-shaped line with the point turned toward Rome. The two lines constituted a territo­ rial strip about ten kilometers wide forming a road, by means of 1 Among them are Maria Teresa Maggi, who summarizes the literature in "Studi Farfense," Rwista di Storia della Chiesa in Italia 47 (1993), 559-569; She notes (p. 559) that a Centro Studi farfensi has recently been organized by V.

  • Public Debt in the Papal States, Sixteenth To
    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, xliii:4 (Spring, 2013), 511–537. PUBLIC DEBT IN THE PAPAL STATES Donatella Strangio Public Debt in the Papal States, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Century Analysis of the Roman ªnancial sys- tem highlights how Roman public debt in the pre-industrial pe- riod, unlike that in most other European settings at the time, was used for productive purposes. For example, Smith pointed out how England’s public debt helped to pay for the country’s costly wars, and Braudel described the continuous use of debt ªnance to bolster imperial Spain during the reigns of Philip II and Charles V, whereas papal Rome used ªnancial tools primarily to maintain the public food supply. This article also corrects certain important details about the Roman ªnancial system in the literature, such as when the central government’s stable system of debt was established.1 public debt in europe and the papal states The Papal States occupied the central regions of the Italian peninsula. They were divided into several provinces: Rome and its district, the provin- cial Campagna, Marittima and Lazio, Umbria, Sabina, the Duchy of Spoleto, Patrimonio, Marca, the Legation of Bologna e Ro- magna, the legation of Ferrara, Comacchio, the State of Urbino, Montefeltro, the State of Benevento, Avignon, and the Venaissin countryside. The collective state was economically fragmented. Each province had its own currency and its own system of weights and measures that hindered domestic trade. Rome, the capital and the seat of the papal government, was the most populous prov- ince. The organization of public debt in Europe varied from nation to nation, each according to its own circumstances.

In addition to his immediate pastoral responsibilities as Bishop of Rome, the pope also exercises a special ministry on be- half of the universal Church. It is called the Petrine min- istry, because the Catholic Church considers the pope to be the successor of the Apostle Peter.
