IV The Central Middle Ages (900–1200) (i) European History

Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature, 1990

General G. Holmes, The Oxford illustrcr/ed history of niedieval Eltrope (OUP, f17.50) is divided into six chapters to provide one chapter for northern and one for southern Europe for each of three periods; the relevant ones for this period are the work of the late D. Whitton and Rosemary Morris. Considerations of space make the treatment something of a gallop. For a studied attempt at periodization. see P. Delogu (ed.). Periodi e conrenuti de1 tiiedio evo (Rome: II ventaglio), which tries to categorize the early, central and late middle ages. Jacques Le Goff. Merlievol civilization (Basil Blackwell. f22.50) is a translation of La civilistition tle l'ocrideirt riifdiPval, which first appeared in 1964. when it shocked conservatives iind Catholics by its resolute aim of treating civilisation in its broadest sense of popular attitudes and how they were shaped rather than concentrating o n medieval Europe's finest achievements. Lively. though superficial and now somewhat dated. it is the only comprehensive overview of medieval mentalites in English. A. Gurevich. Medieval popiilur ciiltiirc (CUP. f27.50) attempts to work out popular attitudes to death and religion from didactic religious literature. More profound than Le Goff. it is also more muddled. On Europe and the wider world, see J.R.S. Phillips. Tire rriedievd exparision of Europe (OUP. f27.50). pbk f8.95). a useful introduction to the question. and the idiosyncratic L.N. Gumilev, Searches for an inicrginary kiiigdoiri: the legend of the kirigdoni offrester John (CUP. 1987, f37.50). Neither, alas. really tries to sort out modern scholarship on the Letter of Prester John. At last. a work which tries to set medieval money. usually purely the preserve of numismatists, in its wider context: P. Spufford. Money uiitl its iise in i~ietlievcrl Europe (CUP. f50.00) is extremely informative but not so strong on synthesis. with paragraphs too short to allow for any development of an argument. The twelfth century is passed over rather quickly. especially where France and Spain are concerned. H.W. Goetz. 'Gottesfriede und Gemeindebildung' (Zeit. der Savigtiy-Stiftung fiir Rechtsgeschichte. Gernianisrisckc Abteilitrig. 105) says that nascent communes used similar concepts to the Peace of God movement because they grew out of the Same background, rather than being directly derived from it. E. Patlagean. 'Europe, seigneurie. feodalite: Marc Bloch et les limites orientales d'un espace de comparaison' (Studi niedievuli. 29) attacks Bloch for assuming that eastern Europe wasn't feudal. M. Mitterauer, '"Senioris sui nomine". Zur Verbreitung von Fiirstennamen durch das Lehenswesen' (Mitteilungen des Institiits fiir osterreickische Geschichtsforschung, 96) attributes the diminution of the number of forenames in circulation to the practice of naming sons for one's lord. One of the most ambitious publications of the year was the proceedings of the 1986 Monumenta Germaniae f Iistorica conference on medieval forgeries. Fiilsclzctngen inz Mittelulter. Internationaler Kongress der Monumenta Germaniae Historica (5 vols., Hanover: Hahnsche Buchhandlung). The first volume deals with forgery in narrative sources. the second with the punishment of forgers (mostly dealing with the proscriptions of canon law), the third and fourth with forged charters and the 24 CENTRAL MlDDLE AGES 2s fifth (more details below) with letters. Out of over 150 articles at least half deal with the 10th-12th centuries. Ecclesiastical and papal history E-D. Hehl (ed.), Die Konzilien Deutschlands

The Modern Origins of the Early Middle Ages

Reviews in History, 2014

The beginnings of Europe is not a very complicated historical subject. After the end of Roman domination in the fifth century CE, so-called 'successor states' grew up in the territories and around the margins of what had been the Western Roman Empire, and out of those states grew France, Spain, Italy and (with greater complications) England and Germany. Since the 'Fall of Rome' itself, historians have grappled with the questions of how and why the great Empire should have come to an end. Despite coming to different conclusions, historians share the view that whatever did happen was of massive significance for the development of Europe. Discussion of what we would now term 'the transformation of the Roman World' revolves around three contested areas: first, an assessment of Roman rule: was it so oppressive that it could not be sustained? Second, an assessment of the successors to the Romans, the 'barbarians': by conquering the Empire, did they free populations from Roman oppression, bringing to them new blood and new spirit? Or were the barbarians themselves the oppressors who destroyed Roman power and along with it the protection of Roman law and the preservation of ancient privileges? Third, what part did the rise of Christianity and the Catholic Church play in the ending of Roman rule? Was the influence of Christianity baleful or liberating? The very different answers to these questions depend on when they were posed, on who asked them and on where in Europe the questioners were located. In a book that can only be described as a 'tour de force', Ian Wood takes us through the permutations in the answers. He aims to show us how debates on the 'Fall of Rome' have tended to concentrate on those issues which reflect the social and political debates of the day. It is also a labour of love: noting the sheer amount of historical scholarship that has poured into the debates on, say, the establishment of the French monarchy, Wood regrets its relative neglect, and is concerned to rescue it 'from the amnesia which has drawn a veil over past history'. The author delights in the detail of these forgotten histories and in the lives of their progenitors. He includes here novels, opera and plays which reflect views of this past The Modern Origins of the Early Middle Ages is thoroughly researched and written with the great clarity that comes from an unparalleled knowledge and understanding of the subject. The centrepiece of the work is the development of scholarship in France, where debates about early history and identity had most resonance as the French grappled with the nature of monarchy and the legitimacy of the power of the few over the many. At issue was the relationship between Romans, Gauls and Franks, beginning with the notion that the Franks were free, equal and a source of nobility. Their conquest of France liberated the Gauls from the oppressive

HIST 111 Introduction to Medieval History 632 1453 Hysell Syllabus Fall

Introduction: This course examines the interconnected medieval worlds of Europe, Africa, and Eurasia from the death of Muhammad to the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople. Content extends from the emergence of Islam to the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453. After a survey of late antiquity, Unit One of the semester, "The Shattering of Mediterranean Unity?" (632-1031), concentrates on the rise of Islam and the development of three distinct civilizations in the Mediterranean Basin: the Latin West, Byzantium, and the Caliphates. Unit Two, "Recovery and Revival" (1031-1227), examines the struggle between church and state, crusading and holy violence, the rise of towns and states, and trends in late medieval religion. Particular attention is given to women, religious minorities, and other marginalized groups. Unit Three (1215-1453) explores the close of the Middle Ages as signaled by the rise of the Ottoman Empire in the 1400s. Themes: The course will explore four principal themes: • Intellectual and cultural turning points • The status of women and ideas about gender & sexuality • Religious tolerance, intolerance, violence, and persecution • Encounters between migratory and settled societies

History 343: The Central Middle Ages

2023

his course explores medieval history after the year 1000 to better understand the wide-ranging significance of the Middle Ages. Readings will include both primary source materials and research from important secondary studies, familiarizing students with some of the key documents from the period while exposing them to the best historiography on the subject. With a focus on holy wars and holy lands, the course presents and analyzes evolving scholarly interpretations of this era alongside an exciting array of primary sources from the Middle Ages. Themes: • Ideology: A set of shared beliefs, values, and practices. • Economics: The mobilization of labor; the extraction and exchange of the products of nature. • Military Power: The way in which societies organize concentrated lethal violence. • Political Power: The organization of social life under centralized, territorial regulation and the use of systems of governance.

Medieval Worlds: Introduction to the First Issue

Medieval Worlds, 2015

Books, web-sites or university courses entitled ›The Medieval World‹ usually deal with Medieval Europe, sometimes only with its ›Latin‹ or Western parts. The name of the present journal, ›Medieval Worlds‹, underlines the diversity of our global past, while maintaining that common approaches are possible. ›Global History‹ often concentrates on the contemporary and modern history of a globalized world; but global perspectives on pre-modern periods are also possible before or beyond processes of globalization. Many fascinating projects explore wide horizons of the global past, both temporally and spatially. These new lines of research depart from many disciplines and reach out across disciplinary divides; arguably, this is one of the most dynamic fields in the heterogeneous academic landscapes of the study of the past. For those who are interested in engaging with current developments and advances in this type of research, however, it is still hard to get an overview of its progress. The present journal is intended to become one of the intellectual »hubs« in this regard: exploring new approaches, stimulating comparative research, offering methodological debates, exchanging reports across disciplines, and presenting current large-scale projects.
