Istruire su parole e gesti della diplomazia: le istruzioni agli ambasciatori della Corona d’Aragona, Venezia e Firenze al sultanato mamelucco (1250-1517)
Get PDFThrough adopting a comparative approach, this article examines the instructions the late medieval rulers of the Crown of Aragon, Florence and Venice gave to their envoys sent to the Mamluk Sultanate (Egypt-Syria, 1250-1517). These sources vividly show that the interactions between the Christian emissaries and the sultan and his entourage followed different phases and relied on various forms of communication, both verbal (spoken and written messages) and non-verbal (exchange of gifts, ceremonial). The practical and theoretical analysis of these ambassadorial instructions shows the different sets of rules and strategies underlying diplomatic dialogue between Christian powers and the Mamluks.[it] L’articolo prende in esame i documenti conservati che riportano le istruzioni impartite dalle autorità di tre poteri cristiani (Corona d’Aragona, Firenze e Venezia) ai loro ambasciatori diretti al sultanato musulmano mamelucco (Egitto-Siria, 1250-1517). Lo studio comparativo di tali fonti rivela come l’interazione con il sultano e i suoi funzionari fosse programmata nelle sue diverse fasi e secondo differenti modalità di comunicazione, sia verbali (messaggio orale e scritto) sia non verbali (regali, cerimoniale). L’analisi della funzione pratica e teorica delle istruzioni conservate mostrerà come questi documenti contengano indizi essenziali per decifrare i principi e le strategie che stavano alla base del dialogo diplomatico tra le potenze cristiane e i Mamelucchi
Iste liber est de Fernandus episcopus cordubensis. Libros y librerías episcopales peninsulares en el otoño de la Edad Media (siglos XIII-XV)
Get PDFThe episcopal library, in its double definition as a bishop’s private library and an institutional library, is well documented during the late medieval period (13th-15thcenturies). Drawing on diverse documents (chancellery, ecclesiastical, notarial, etc.) and preserved codices (some of which include ex-libris, notes of possession, heraldic emblems and other indications), it is possible to consider episcopal books and libraries of the time in the Iberian Peninsula. Until recently, the study of such documents had largely been limited to the editing and analysis of the documents in which they were collected. In recent decades, however, studies on the patronage of bishops, whether individually or in larger groups (as is the case of the patronage of Catalan and Aragonese bishops in late medieval times), have flourished. The Pontifical, the “Bishop’s Book”, a specific type of book which is very significant because of its luxurious execution, has also received particular scholarly attention.La biblioteca episcopal, en la doble acepción de biblioteca particular de un obispo y de biblioteca institucional, está bien testimoniada para el período bajomedieval (ss. XIII-XV). A partir de documentación diversa (cancillería, eclesiástica, notarial, etc.) y de códices conservados (algunos con exlibris, notas de posesión, emblemas heráldicos y otros indicios), es posible hacer una aproximación a los libros y librerías episcopales peninsulares de ese periodo. Su estudio, en general, se había limitado a la edición y análisis de los documentos que las recogían. En las últimas décadas, en cambio, han proliferado los dedicados al estudio del mecenazgo de un obispo concreto o de un conjunto más amplio (por ejemplo, el patrocinio de obispos catalanes o aragoneses en época bajomedieval). También ha recibido una atención especial el Pontifical, el “libro del obispo”, una tipología libraria específica y muy relevante por su factura lujosa
Dos conjuntos funerarios episcopales de la catedral de Pamplona en el siglo XIV: la capilla funeraria de Miguel Pérez de Legaria y el sepulcro de Miguel Sánchez de Asiáin
Get PDFThis study analyses two 14th-century episcopal funerary ensembles in the cathedral of Pamplona. Firstly, that of Bishop Miguel Pérez de Legaria (1287-1304), which consists of a tomb and funerary chapel –both disappeared–, is brought into focus as the oldest expressly-built, privately-owned funerary chapel in Navarre, with hypotheses about its structure, location and chronology. Secondly, an analysis of the ensemble of Bishop Miguel Sánchez de Asiain (1357-1364), which consists only of the tomb, draws attention to the existence of links with Italy other than those indicated so far, to the use of Speculum Humanae Salvationis as a textual source for the entire figurative programme, and to the exceptional nature of the iconography of double intercession in the European and Hispanic context, before concluding with a possible proposal for the identity of its promoterSe analizan dos conjuntos funerarios episcopales del siglo XIV pertenecientes a la catedral de Pamplona. En el caso del primero, el del obispo Miguel Pérez de Legaria (1287-1304), compuesto por tumba y capilla funeraria –ambas desaparecidas–, se destaca que se trataría de la más antigua capilla funeraria privativa construida exprofeso en Navarra, y se plantean hipótesis sobre su estructura, localización y cronología. En el del segundo, el de Miguel Sánchez de Asiáin (1357-1364), integrado solo por el sepulcro, se llama la atención sobre la existencia de más vínculos con Italia de los señalados hasta el momento, el empleo del Speculum Humanae Salvationis como fuente textual del conjunto del programa figurativo y la excepcionalidad de la iconografía de la Doble intercesión en el contexto europeo e hispano, para concluir con el planteamiento de la posible identidad del promotor
Els batiats, o musulmans convertits: una altra seqüela de la conquesta i la colonització valenciana
Get PDFAs a consequence of James I’s conquest, a group of converts from Islam identified in the written sources as batiats, the baptised or neophytes, appeared in thirteenth-century Valencian society. Evidence for this group is quite scarce, which proves their limited demographic role even in towns and cities, where they mainly settled. This paper seeks to establish their reasons for converting to the new religion, paying attention to their economic and social background, and their level of integration in society.[ca] La societat valenciana del segle XIII, com a conseqüència de la conquesta de Jaume I, va originar un col·lectiu de convertits de l’islam que la documentació identifica com a batiats, batejats o neòfits. Les notícies sobre aquest col·lectiu són ben poques, prova de la marginalitat i de l’escàs pes demogràfic en les viles i ciutats del país, ja que el seu assentament va ser sobretot urbà. L’objectiu d’aquesta indagació és esbrinar les raons que van empènyer al canvi de religió, quin era el seu perfil social i econòmic i de quina manera es va produir la integració en el teixit social
