Where Heaven and Earth Meet is a Festschrift in honor of Daniel F. Callahan, Professor of History at the University of Delaware. It is an interdisciplinary collection that celebrates and advances research in his principal scholarly interests. One central focus is on the writings of Ademar of Chabannes and what they reveal about heresy, music, warfare, and the Peace of God in the early Middle Ages. Another is on Western religious history (ecclesiastical houses, hagiography, and papal writings), and the collection is rounded out by studies of early Islamic Jerusalem as well as Arabic numismatics. Contributing authors include Professor Callahan’s former classmates, graduate students, colleagues and admirers of his research. The collection will be of interest to researchers in art history, history, musicology, and religion. Contributors are: Bernard S. Bachrach, Daniel F. Callahan, Lawrence G. Duggan, Michael Frassetto, Matthew Gabriele, James Grier, John D. Hosler, Anna Trumbore Jones, Lawrence Nees, Richard R. Ring, Jane T. Schulenburg

"Ce volume présente la réédition de trente articles, contributions à des colloques et à d'autres volumes collectifs, publiés entre 1980 et 2009, et rassemblés de façon thématique, indépendamment de la date de leur première publication. Ils sont regroupés en deux sections ; la première (nos 1-12) a pour objet l'Italie méridionale byzantine et l'action de l'Empire et de l'Église byzantine dans cette région ; la seconde (nos 13-30) est consacrée à certains aspects de l'histoire médiévale de l'Italie méridionale, lombarde et normande aussi bien que byzantine, et regroupe des textes qui concernent l'économie (nos 13-18), la société - du droit personnel aux pratiques sociales (nos 19-22), certains éléments institutionnels (nos 23-25), enfin quelques aspects de l'histoire religieuse - du culte des images à l'hagiographie et aux cartulaires (nos 26-30). On s'est efforcé de mettre à jour la bibliographie et, parfois, de mettre en perspective certains points qui ont fait l'objet de recherches ultérieures"--Title page verso.

This volume offers a collection of thirteen studies on the subject of intercultural contact and exchange in the medieval and early modern periods. The aim of the authors was to approach this phenomenon as broadly as possible, and the resulting volume is, therefore, a fusion of different approaches to a variety of historical sources and texts. Geographical areas that are often studied separately - including the Middle East, the Caucasus, the Latin West and Central Europe (especially Poland, Germany and Hungary) - are here presented together in order to allow for cross-period and cross-regional comparisons. The chronological scope is also unusually broad, beginning with Late Antiquity and encompassing both the Renaissance and its immediate aftermath.

Mit seinen Studien zum mittelalterlichen Stiftungswesen hat Michael Borgolte seit den achtziger Jahren eine sozialgeschichtliche Wende in der Stiftungsforschung der Vormoderne herbeigeführt. Maßgeblich war dabei die Einsicht, dass der Zweck der Stiftung, die Memoria des Stifters oder anderer von ihm benannter Personen auf Dauer zu sichern, nicht durch eine juristische Konstruktion, sondern nur durch den Austausch von Gabe und Gegengabe gesichert werden konnte. Der Initiator beziehungsweise die Verwalter seiner Stiftung und die Empfänger der Stiftungserträge standen in einem Verhältnis gegenseitiger Verpflichtungen, das oft über Jahrhunderte hin durch immer neue Aktualisierungen des Stifterwillens lebendig blieb. Mit diesem Ansatz hat Michael Borgolte Stiftungen des Mittelalters weit über das liturgische Gedenken hinaus untersucht und besonders karitativen und wissenschaftlichen Stiftungszwecken Beachtung geschenkt. Das Studium der Stiftungen eignet sich aber auch zur Erkenntnis einer Gesellschaft in ihren Zusammenhängen; deshalb beschrieb er Stiftung als "totales System" und untersuchte das Verhältnis von "Stiftung und Staat" oder "Stiftung und Mäzenatentum". In neueren Abhandlungen hat Michael Borgolte interkulturelle Vergleiche in dia- wie synchroner Dimension angestellt, zwischen dem vormodernen und dem neueren Stiftungswesen ebenso, wie zwischen den lateinisch-christlichen, byzantinischen, russisch-orthodoxen, jüdischen und vor allem muslimischen Stiftungen des mittelalterlichen Jahrtausends. Die hier vorgelegte Sammlung seiner wichtigsten Aufsätze und Beiträge bieten deshalb keinen Abschluss, sondern eher eine Zwischenbilanz auf dem Weg zu einer Universalgeschichte des vormodernen Stiftungswesens.

Black Legacies looks at color-based prejudice in medieval and modern texts in order to reveal key similarities. Bringing far-removed time periods into startling conversation, this book argues that certain attitudes and practices present in Europe's Middle Ages were foundational in the development of the western concept of race. Using historical, literary, and artistic sources, Lynn Ramey shows that twelfth- and thirteenth-century discourse was preoccupied with skin color and the coding of black as "evil" and white as "good." Ramey demonstrates that fears of miscegenation show up in all medie
