PRESENTAZIONE La pubblicazione degli atti del convegno di studi storico-religiosi organizzato in San Vivaldo dalla Società storica della Val d'Elsa ripro pone alcune considerazioni che già venivano alla mente partecipando al l'intensa giornata di ascolto e di dibattito. Significativo è stato l'instaurarsi, nel corso di quel convegno, di un amichevole dialogo fra insigni Maestri, giovani collaboratori dell'inse gnamento universitario, e studenti ancora impegnati nei loro studi; al trettanto ricca di significato è stata la partecipazione di studiosi non italiani, i quali hanno comunicato i risultati delle loro già lunghe ricer che sugli aspetti più diversi della storia delle popolazioni di questa terra toscana, rinnovando ancora una volta lo scambio di esperienze storiografiche che, con particolare efficacia negli ultimi decenni, ha fatto progredire notevolmente -
A Note Towards Quantifying the Medieval Nubian Diaspora
23 A Note towards Quantifying the Medieval Nubian Diaspora Adam Simmons Throughout the Christian medieval period of the kingdoms of Nu- bia (c. sixth–fifteenth centuries), ideas, goods, and peoples traversed vast distances. Judging from primarily external sources, the Nubian diaspora has seldom been thought of as vast, whether in number or geographical scope, both in terms of the relocated and a non- permanently domiciled diaspora. Prior to the Christianisation of the kingdoms of Nobadia, Makuria, and Alwa in the sixth century, likely Nubian delegations, consisting of “Ethiopes,” were received in both Rome and Constantinople alongside ones from neighbouring peoples, such as the Blemmyes and Aksumites. Yet, medieval Nubia is more often seen as inclusive rather than diasporic. This brief dis- cussion will further show that Nubians were an interactive society within the wider Mediterranean, a topic most commonly seen in the debate on Nubian trade.1 Above all, it argues that Nubians had a long relationship with Mediterranean societies that has primarily been overlooked in scholarship. Whilst the evidence presented here is not aimed to be definitive, it does highlight that Nubia’s Mediterranean connections may even have been more diverse than what Giovan- ni Ruffini argued for in his book Medieval Nubia whilst describing Nubia as a “Mediterranean society in Africa.”2 May we even argue for a more developed thesis of interaction? What about the Nubian societies throughout the Mediterranean who interacted with other communities both spiritually and financially? It will be argued here that these questions should be revisited and have potential to fur- ther expand Ruffini’s Mediterranean thesis. -

Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530
PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy. -

Jerusalem As Palimpsest the Architectural Footprint of the Crusaders in the Contemporary City
114 Verhoeven Chapter 5 Jerusalem as Palimpsest The Architectural Footprint of the Crusaders in the Contemporary City Mariëtte Verhoeven Latin Crusaders captured Jerusalem on 15 July 1099, after Pope Urban’s call at the end of 1095 for the First Crusade.1 Latin domination of Jerusalem lasted until 1187 when Sultan Saladin captured the city. Although Latin rule was re- established for short periods between 1229 and 1239, and between 1241 and 1244, it was in the twelfth century that the Crusaders executed an extensive building campaign that aimed at the redefinition of the city’s Christian topog- raphy. Crusader architecture is mostly viewed as an isolated phenomenon with distinguishing stylistic and formal characteristics. In the first studies of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Crusader architecture was typified by French scholars as French Romanesque but, later, Byzantine and local Eastern influences were also acknowledged.2 As is often the case in architectural his- tory, research into the Crusader period focuses on the reconstruction of the original shape of buildings and not on their afterlife and continuous transfor- mation. In descriptions of the buildings, later additions and transformations are omitted while the captions of photographs of buildings in their current form mention only the original building dates. In his study on Crusader Jerusa- lem, Adrian Boas remarks that ‘in appearance, the Old City of Jerusalem is still essentially a medieval city[…] with the exception of the Jewish Quarter, which has been largely rebuilt since 1967, the city is very much as it appeared nine hundred years ago and a visitor from the twelfth century would probably not 1 The generic term ‘Crusaders’ refers to a heterogeneous group of Christians from all over Latin Western Europe and from every level of society who participated in the Crusades. -

Ritsema van Eck* Department of Medieval History, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands The late medieval illustrated Jerusalem travelogue by the Franciscan friar Paul Walther von Guglingen has heretofore received scant scholarly attention, perhaps owing to the unusual nature of some of its images. Guglingen charts decidedly Isla- mic spaces with his maps and plan, instead of the conventional sacred shrines of Christianity; these topographical features are interlaced with personal travelling experiences. Illustrations of flora and fauna encountered along the way are the result of careful observation, and meticulous recording. -
