Federico III d’Asburgo tra Venezia e la Corte Estense (Gennaio – Maggio 1452). Römische Historische Mitteilungen|Römische Historische Mitteilungen 63|
No full textThe article “Frederick III of Habsburg between Venice and the House of Este” aims at providing a brief insight into the political and diplomatic relations that served as the background to Frederick’s Romzug, thus focusing on the first steps of Frederick’s journey and on the relationship he was able to establish in northeast Italy with the Republic of Venice and the Este House in Ferrara. In fact, the first Italian states that the Habsburg emperor visited in 1452 after leaving Austria on his journey to Rome were the Serenissima and the territories under the supremacy of the Este House. Hence, this study sheds some light on the first part of the emperor’s journey in Lower Austria, Styria and Carinthia, where conflicts with the Austrian “Stände” were raging at that time, and mainly on the emperor’s stays at the House of Este (in January and May 1452) and his visit to Venice on the way back to Austria (in May 1452). The analysis of Frederick’s documents (Regesta Imperii) has shown that the emperor was able to establish long-lasting political and diplomatic relations with the most important Italian courts during his first journey to Rome. Not only do Frederick’s documents bear witness to the emperor’s “Vicariate policy”, but they also show how privileges were bestowed upon Italian princes: in order for the emperor to establish political relations, some were elevated to the knighthood, some were awarded the title of doctor and others were appointed as notaries. All these documents confirm that Frederick III actively tried to influence the politics of Italy and of the Italian courts in a manner not seen before then. Through intensive diplomatic activity, which was advanced during the Romzug, Frederick gradually managed to rebuild the role of the Habsburg Empire in Italy. In doing so, he paved the way for the House of Habsburg to become a world political power

The Olive Tree and the Agroforestry Landscape at Punta di Zambrone during the Bronze Age. Orea|Punta di Zambrone I Oriental and European Archaeology Volume 17|
No full textAnthracological analyses carried out at the archaeological site of Punta di Zambrone on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria provide evidence for reconstructing the vegetation and the agricultural landscape of this coastal settlement during the Bronze Age and for explaining the modalities and timings according to which the vegetation changed over a period of 1000 years under the influence of human activities. The present paper is the final publication of the archaeological charcoals retrieved from this settlement. Particular emphasis will be given to the history of the olive tree. The kind of agriculture based upon the triple cereals, olives and grapevines constituted the basis for the Mediterranean economy up to recent times. The olive tree, Olea europaea L. (Oleaceae), is the most important fruit tree in the Mediterranean basin. The high frequency of Olea europaea detected among the charred wood remains dated to the Early Bronze Age settlement phase suggests that the inhabitants of that period may well have cultivated the tree in terms of favouring the spread of the scant olive trees growing wild in the region. In the samples coming from a more recent phase of the fortified settlement and dating to the Recent Bronze Age, the frequency of olive charcoal is considerably reduced. The anthracological data indicate an expansion of a more or less dense forest dominated by Quercus. This forest expansion must have happened during the immediately preceding chronological phase. This suggests interpreting the change of vegetation and the decline in olive frequency (as well as the end of its possible cultivation) as the outcome of a settlement decrease that characterised the end of the Middle Bronze Age in the region. Possibly, this forest increase was related to the diffusion of the Subapennine culture towards southern Calabria, as it brought about a new economic system and innovative agronomic knowledge. The differences in landscape noted between the Early Bronze Age and the Recent Bronze Age can also be observed by means of other archaeobotanical proxies on the central and southern Italian peninsula
Assessing the 2017 Census of Pakistan Using Demographic Analysis: A Sub-National Perspective
No full textIn 2017, Pakistan implemented a long-awaited population census since the last one conducted in 1998. However, several experts are contesting the validity of the census data at the sub-national level, in the absence of a post-enumeration survey. We propose in this paper to use demographic analysis to assess the quality of the 2017 census at the sub-national level, using the 1998 census data and all available intercensal surveys. Applying the cohort-component method of population projection, we subject each six first-level subnational entities for which data are available to estimates regarding the level of fertility, mortality, international, and internal migration. We arrive at similar results as the census at the national level: an estimated 212.4 million compared to 207.7 million counted (2.3% difference). However, we found more variations at the sub-national level

No full textAspects of Movement and Mobility in Lombard Law: Fugitives, Runaway Slaves and Strangers. Medieval Worlds|Movement and Mobility & Ideologies of Translation, III - Volume 13. 2021 medieval worlds Volume 13. 2021|
No full textLombard laws were issued between 643 and 755. They comprise in toto an invaluable normative source for the Lombard kingdom and society in the seventh and eighth centuries. Commentators have concentrated upon the witness that the laws comprise for the ability of Lombard kings to rule, control and influence society. This paper, however, will consider aspects of both movement and mobility through and across the kingdom using the prism provided by the law with regard to fugitives, runaway slaves and strangers. What does the law tell us about the conceptual parameters associated with those who composed and compiled Lombard law? How did the Lombard kingdom respond to movement and mobility? What do prescriptions which relate to frontiers reveal about the broader interconnectivity of the Mediterranean world? In addressing these issues, and in considering the broader connotations revealed, this paper will argue for a deeper mobility in the early medieval West
