Tra nord e sud. Le signorie rurali in valle dell’Adige, nella piana Rotaliana e in valle di Cembra
ITALIANO: Nelle valli dell’Adige e di Cembra lo sviluppo signorile fu influenzato dal fatto che tali territori
costituirono “aree di passaggio” tra contea di Tirolo ed episcopato tridentino: da un lato, nella centrale area atesina i domini loci eressero, grazie a un gioco di equilibrio tra i due principi territoriali, patrimoni diffusi in tutta la regione, dall’altro, la “perifericità” cembrana rappresentò una terra di conquista per casate originarie di altre valli. I signori sfruttavano diversi
strumenti (prestigio sociale, regolaneria, violenza) nell’esercizio delle proprie prerogative, che non fu passivamente accettato dalle comunità rurali, dando così origine a una vivace dialettica dominatore-dominato. / ENGLISH: In Adige and Cembra valleys rural lordship development was influenced by the fact that these
territories were contact areas between County of Tyrol and the Episcopate of Trento: on one hand in the central Atesina area the domini loci erected, thanks to a game of balance between the two territorial lords, assets spread throughout the region, on the other Cembran periphery represented a land of conquest for lords from other valleys. The lords took advantage of various tools (social prestige, regolaneria, violence) in the exercise of their prerogatives, which was not passively accepted by the rural communities, but originated a heated lords- servants dialecti
Signorie in un’area di strada. La Valsugana nel XIV secolo
ITALIANO: La Valsugana è una delle valli orientali dell’attuale Trentino, ma durante tutto il medioevo face-
va parte della diocesi di Feltre, il cui vescovo deteneva anche i poteri temporali sulla sua parte più ad est, mentre ad ovest di Novaledo ad esercitarli era il vescovo di Trento. L’autorità dei vescovi feltrini andò indebolendosi fin dal XIII secolo e il controllo della valle, dopo un secolo di continue guerre tra gli stati regionali, ad inizio XV secolo venne assunto dal duca del Tirolo Federico IV. La strutturale debolezza dei vescovi di Feltre e di Trento permise l’emergere di signori locali che costruirono, soprattutto nel turbolento XIV secolo, dei dominî con ampi margini di autonomia. I signori di Castelnuovo-Caldonazzo assunsero di fatto l’egemonia sulla valle in virtù di abili alleanze politico-militari e di ingenti risorse economiche. Defilata e sempre più incentrata su un territorio limitato, resistette, ben oltre la conquista tirolese che invece mise
fine al dominio dei Castelnuovo-Caldonazzo, la signoria della famiglia dalla lunga tradizione dei da Telve, poi da Telve-Castellalto. / ENGLISH: Valsugana is one of the eastern valleys of present-day Trentino, but throughout the Middle Ages it was part of the diocese of Feltre, whose bishop also held temporal powers over its easternmost
part, while to the west of Novaledo they were exercised by the bishop of Trento. The authority of the Feltre bishops was weakened from the 13th century onwards and control of the valley, after a century of continuous wars between the regional states, was taken over at the beginning of the
15th century by the duke of Tyrol Frederick IV. The structural weakness of the bishops of Feltre and Trento allowed the emergence of local lords who, especially in the turbulent 14th century, built up dominions with wide margins of autonomy. The lords of Castelnuovo-Caldonazzo assumed de facto hegemony over the valley by virtue of skilful political and military alliances and considerable economic resources. Defiladed and increasingly centred on a limited territory, the dominion of the long-standing family of da Telve, later da Telve-Castellalto, resisted long after
the Tyrolean conquest that put end to the Castelnuovo-Caldonazzo dominion
Il re e le sue lingue. Comunicazione e imperialità = Le roi et ses langues. Communication et impérialité
ITALIANO: È mai esistita un’ideologia imperiale connessa con la comunicazione linguistica nell’Europa del tardo Medio Evo e della prima modernità? E, in tal caso, all’esterno dell’impero germanico o bizantino, vi furono sovrani che tentarono di definire o imporre una “imperialità linguistica”? Attraverso il recupero, in diversi contesti, di una “sintassi” imperiale latina, greca o anche araba, questo volume offre un’indagine approfondita sulla gestione del multilinguismo negli spazi politici posti fuori o ai margini dell’Impero. Dalla Sicilia all’Inghilterra, dalla Polonia ai confini serbo-ungheresi, dal xii al xvii secolo, sono percorse le linee frastagliate dei complessi rapporti dialettici tra usi pragmatici e rappresentazioni ideologiche delle lingue che cooperano, sul lungo periodo, alla costruzione di suggestive forme di imperialità “derivata” o “seconda”. / ENGLISH: Was there ever an imperial ideology connected with linguistic communication in late medieval and early modern Europe? And, if so, were there rulers outside the Germanic or Byzantine empires who attempted to define or impose a “linguistic imperiality”? By exploring the recovery in different contexts of an imperial Latin, Greek or even Arabic "syntax", this volume offers an in-depth investigation into the management of multilingualism in political spaces located outside or on the fringes of the Empire. From Sicily to England, from Poland to the Serbian-Hungarian borders, from the 12th to the 17th century, the articles of this book follow the jagged lines of the complex dialectical relationships between pragmatic uses and ideological representations of languages, which cooperate, in the long run, in the construction of suggestive forms of “derived” or “secondary” imperiality
Signorie rurali e risorse economiche: forme di prelievo e di gestione
ITALIANO. Si propone un quadro complessivo della dimensione economica della signoria rurale nel Trentino lungo i secoli XIII-XV con uno sguardo di prospettiva sul Cinquecento, sulla base della documentazione d’archivio prodotta da alcune stirpi signorili eminenti. I due paragrafi finali
sono dedicati alle forme di gestione e sfruttamento delle risorse forestali, montane e minerarie, oggetti speciali degli scambi commerciali fra l’area trentina e le contermini aree padane, nei quali alcune signorie rurali trentine ebbero parte attiva. / ENGLISH: This essay gives a general view about economic organization of rural lordships in Trentino during the 13th-15th centuries, with a perspective on the 16th century, based on archival documentation produced by some eminent seigneurial families. The last two paragraphs are about handling and exploitation of wood, mountain and mineral resources, which were important goods
of trade between Trentino and neighbour areas of Po Valley, where some rural lordships from Trentino played an active part
Gli archivi delle famiglie signorili trentine
ITALIANO: Gli archivi delle famiglie signorili oggetto del presente volume (Castelbarco, Castelnuovo-Caldonazzo, Telve-Castellalto, da Campo, d’Arco, Lodron, Thun, Spaur), nonché altri archivi nobiliari trentini (d’Arsio, Consolati-Guarienti, Firmian, a Prato), che sono oggi in buona parte
custoditi presso istituzioni culturali, hanno avuto una storia conservativa complessa, come emerge dalle pur sommarie ricostruzioni qui presentate. L’analisi delle tipologie documentarie attestate in questi fondi ha rivelato una notevole diversificazione delle scritture su registro, le cui prime, sporadiche attestazioni datano alla metà del secolo XIV, con un progressivo diffondersi delle registrazioni di natura copiale e amministrativo-contabile. / ENGLISH: The archives of the noble families covered by this volume (Castelbarco, Castelnuovo-Caldonazzo, Telve-Castellalto, da Campo, d’Arco, Lodron, Thun, Spaur) as well as other noble Trentino archives (d’Arsio, Consolati-Guarienti, Firmian, a Prato), that are now largely kept in cultural institutions, have had a complex conservative history, as emerges from the brief reconstructions presented here. The analysis of the documentary types attested in these fonds revealed a considerable diversification of the entries in the register, the first, sporadic attestations of which date back to the mid-century XIV, with a progressive spread of copial and administrative-accounting records
L’eschatologie impériale du souverain = L’escatologia imperiale del sovrano
ITALIANO: Questo libro, il quarto della serie Imperialiter, esplora il tema dell’escatologia imperiale del sovrano, che viene indagato nelle sue diverse manifestazioni e rappresentazioni. Evocando le suggestioni dei destini ultimi dell’umanità, il sovrano amplifica le forme della sua sovranità, associando a essa i tratti che la collegano alla seconda Parousia, quella definitiva del ritorno di Cristo (il modello regale per eccellenza), che condurrà alla fine dei tempi e di ogni sovranità terrena. / ENGLISH: This book, the fourth in the Imperialiter series, explores the theme of the imperial eschatology of the sovereign, which is investigated in its various manifestations and representations. Evoking the suggestions of the ultimate destinies of humanity, the sovereign amplifies the forms of his sovereignty, associating with it the traits that connect it to the second Parousia, the definitive return of Christ (the royal model par excellence), which will lead to the end of time and of all earthly sovereignty
Il martirio nella Chronica XXIV generalium
ITALIANO: Riflettendo sul volume di Christopher MacEvitt relativo all’esperienza e al tema del martirio nell’ordine dei Minori, il saggio si concentra sull’ultimo capitolo del volume, nel quale l’autore utilizza quale fonte la "Chronica XXIV generalium", vagliando e discutendo in modo critico il confronto stabilito con altre opere e vicende della storia dell’ordine che sembrano riproporre uno schema martiriale. / ENGLISH: Reflecting on Christopher MacEvitt’s volume on the experience and theme of martyrdom in the Order of Friars Minor, the essay focuses on the last chapter of the volume, in which the author uses the "Chronica XXIV generalium" as a source, sifting and critically discussing the comparison established with other works and events in the order’s history that seem to re-propose the pattern of martyrdom
Shades of Empire in Late Medieval and Renaissance Reichsitalien. Questioning New Perspectives
The node centered by the volume deals with the political-cultural ties between the late medieval german emperors and the plural world of the Italian humanists. Particularly, conveying a double and corresponding line of exchanges between North and South of the Alps, the point was
re-focused over emperor’s presence and their retinues in the peninsula as the fulcrum of this long-term exchange. Thus, new perspectives open up regarding spaces and men involved in this political experience. Regional spaces more in contact than others with the imperial presence and the collection of sources, on the basis of macro-areas in the wake of Peter Moraw’s scheme, are very useful tools to adapt our knowledge of the multiple links between emperors and Reichsitalien, not only in the 14th century and in the previous two centuries (12th-13th) but also for the crucial subsequent period (15th-16th) – considering the entire autumn of the Medieval Empire and, at the same time, the Renaissance – still relatively little focused on by the new research fields. In order to include these centuries as well, Moraw’s thesis should be proficiently reconsidered, however, in light of the political-cultural ties with the emperor. Thus, it would broaden the field of research from mere jurisdiction – even this principle remains unaltered still for centuries – to political culture
Ampleur et limite d’une impérialisation: les modèles rhétoriques impériaux et leurs réemplois royaux en Europe occidentale et centrale (fin XIIIe-début XVe siècle)
As many examples demonstrate, the so-called Letters of Petrus de Vinea, a collection of documents from the chancery of emperor Frederick II and his sons Conrad IV and Manfred, were used for various purposes during two centuries by clerks at the service of the royal powers in many parts
of Europe. From Sweden to Aragon, from England to Poland, from France to Hungary, this «imperial rhetoric» of the late Hohenstaufen had become a fashionable tool used to create a state-language with an imperial flavour. A survey of this phenomenon underlines its constitutive ambiguity, since this
imperialized royal rhetoric was also depending on papal stylistic devices
Langues et impérialité seconde dans les îles Britanniques à la fin du Moyen Âge
Within the Plantagenet Empire, the «empire without a name» to use Jean-Philippe Genet’s beautiful phrase, linguistic uses as markers of second imperiality as formulated in the argument of the Imperialiter programme («the decisive influence exerted by imperial formalisation on non-imperial political constructions»), are particularly complex in view of the widespread multilingualism of the British Isles. Anglophone historiography is currently undergoing a profound renewal on these issues. This paper will therefore address
some elements of this complexity in the island spaces – conquered by or at war with the English – in particular in relation to the interactions between referential, vehicular and vernacular languages, mainly Gaelic, in the last centuries of the Middle Ages. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on the degree of «imperial formalisation» defining second imperiality, a difficult task
