Nel 1847, quando con la bolla Nulla celebrior papa Pio IX ripristinò a Gerusalemme la sede del Patriarcato Latino (declassato a patriarcato titolare dal 1295), venne a cessare una sorta di monopolio spirituale. Dalla prima metà del Trecento i francescani erano infatti i soli membri della Chiesa Romana ai quali i Mamelucchi avevano consentito di risiedere stabilmente in Terrasanta; e in virtù di questa prerogativa svolsero per secoli un ruolo fondamentale. Unici intermediari tra i pellegrini “franchi” (cioè occidentali) e il sacro, i frati rifondarono la memoria dei luoghi santi palestinesi, che si sarebbe diffusa attraverso i resoconti di pellegrinaggio tre- e quattrocenteschi nella letteratura, nell’iconografia e nell’architettura europee. Sotto la dominazione mamelucca, che si sarebbe conclusa nel 1517, i francescani furono anche involontarie pedine dei conflitti tra le potenze occidentali e il sultano per il controllo del mercato europeo delle spezie. Sulla base di un ampissimo corpus di testi, il lavoro di Saletti ripercorre (in qualche caso, ridisegna) le alterne vicende della Custodia di Terra Santa dalla fondazione alla conquista ottomana del vicino Oriente.

Quando è morto veramente Leonello d’Este, la cui agonia è stata dilatata dai Dodici savi per meglio prepararne la successione? Perché nel 1425 la Serenissima mette in moto tutti i suoi apparati per aiutare il marchese Niccolò a rintracciare il figlio maggiore, Meliaduse, fuggito a Milano creando un complicato caso diplomatico? Cosa significa, nel tardo Quattrocento, essere un quadro dell’amministrazione estense? Il presente volume, fondato su ampie ricerche d’archivio e su una larga consultazione delle cronache del tempo, risponde a questi e ad altri interrogativi, studiando da angolazioni insolite la vita della corte estense e i suoi rapporti con il clero, i letterati, gli ufficiali della Camera Ducale.

In the late middle ages, hundreds of pilgrims set sail from Venice to the Holy Land. Holy Places pilgrimages were for Jerusalem and the whole region (Jaffa, Bethlehem, the Jordan river) an important source of income. In Jaffa, pilgrims were controlled by officers with standard procedures, to collect due payments, prevent them from conducting espionage activity, or from getting out of the control of the mandatory guides, putting at risk their own safety. This paper deals with a little-known aspect of the medieval pilgrimage to the holy land: the disguise strategies adopted by pilgrims, in order not to be ripped off, or to pay high tolls

Nel corso dell\u2019edizione di una cronaca quattrocentesca sinora non pubblicata, la Storia della citt\ue0 di Ferrara dal suo principio sino all\u2019anno 1471, ho incontrato alcuni accenni di notevole interesse su materiale archivistico estense. L\u2019autore dell\u2019opera, un notaio che rivestiva incarichi amministrativi all\u2019interno della cancelleria ducale, nell\u2019elencare i mirabolanti scambi di doni intercorsi nel 1471 tra Paolo II e il novello duca Borso d\u2019Este, afferma: \uabEt io Ugo de\u2019 Calefini da Ferrara notaro, filius quondam de Recevuto de Caleffini, che per suo thesaurero fui, te certifico tute dicte cosse per haverle vedute et intese\ubb. Durante il ducato di Ercole, Caleffini venne impiegato come registratore nell\u2019ufficio della Spenderia ducale e pure come cancelliere, ed \ue8 pertanto verosimile che accedesse a materiale documentario conservato presso gli uffici. Ma se la supposizione \ue8 banale, il testo della Storia offre ben pi\uf9 di un indizio in tale senso. Ad esempio, dopo aver riprodotto sotto la data del 1347 una lista di nomi, dichiara: \uabfurono ribelli del soprascritto signor Obizo, como appare ad un libro dela Camera Ducale 1347, scripto di sopra: \u201cCanevaro a 258 et a 259\u201d\ubb (BNCFi, Magl. XXV. 39, c. 17v). Di questo, come di altri libri citati dal Caleffini, non \ue8 pi\uf9 rimasta traccia. Il saggio si ripromette di fornire spunti sia sull\u2019archivio perduto, sia sulla frequentazione fisica dei suoi spazi per fini non puramente amministrativi

L\u2019archivio di stato di Bologna conserva, tra i suoi numerosi tesori, documenti rarissimi: si tratta dei Libri delle Presentazioni dei Forestieri. Questi registri, appena 8, contengono i nominativi, la provenienza, talvolta lo status di chi entrava nella citt\ue0 di Bologna. Inoltre, per motivi di sicurezza i forestieri dovevano dichiarare quale fosse la loro residenza durante il soggiorno in citt\ue0, e anche queste informazioni venivano annotate nei Libri delle Presentazioni. I registri di Presentazione dei Forestieri forniscono dunque i nomi delle locande che fungevano da strutture ricettive. Purtroppo i registri contengono informazioni soltanto per i periodi: 1 luglio- 31 dicembre 1412; 1 gennaio-16 novembre 1413; 25 giugno-30 dicembre 1418; 1 gennaio-giugno 1419; 1 gennaio-30 giugno 1420; agosto 1428-maggio 1429; 1 luglio-28 settembre 1436; 3 maggio-28 maggio 1444.

Ferrara was one of the first Italian Signorie. The Este family governed the city uninterruptedly for three centuries, and medieval chroniclers of Ferrara had two possibilities with regard to political arguments: to unconditionally praise the Estes, or to be silent. Nicol\uf2 d\u2019Este (1393-1441), marquis of Ferrara, was a skilled politician, but he gave birth to more than 30 children, most of them illegitimate, and with preferring to leave the government to an illegitimate child even in the presence of legitimate children he mismanaged his succession. Therefore, hints about the endemic instability of 15th century Ferrara can be traced only in sources outside the domain

During the carnival period, the Duke of Ferrara Hercules I of Este (1471-1505) often emanated decrees in which he forbade people in masks to hurt others (similar decrees were issued in many cities, such as Venice). He also forbade masked people from carrying weapons and sticks (but only those that were larger than what the city statutes allowed for). The temptation to settle scores, however, was evidently too strong, because chronicles often report assaults, injuries, and even out and out ambushes

Written documents about Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land have been known since the Itinerarium burdigalense (fourth century). Since then, pilgrims’ travels have never stopped, but the fall of Acre (1291) was a dramatic turning-point. This paper aims to reconstruct the pilgrim’s life in partibus infidelium during the late mamluk period (1291-1517): how pilgrims travelled, where they sleep, what they eat, when, how and how long they visited churches and holy places.

Quali erano i meccanismi, i luoghi, gli uffici e le persone che hanno permesso la formazione, l’ordinamento e la gestione degli archivi?

I saggi qui raccolti permettono un innovativo confronto tra i diversi ufficiali incaricati della conservazione documentaria negli antichi stati italiani: dai notai fino ai cancellieri, ai custodi e agli “archivari” di regni, principati e repubbliche, dalla Lombardia alla Sicilia, tra Quattro e Settecento.

Conference proceedings from the inaugural Centre for the Study of Religion and Conflict conference held at NTU 11th-13th July 2017 Edited by Natasha Hodgson, John McCallum, Nicholas Morton and Amy Fuller This volume consists of conference proceedings from the inaugural networking event of the Centre for the Study of Religion and Conflict in the Medieval and Early Modern Periods based at Nottingham Trent University in the UK. The centre was established in order to increase understanding of the origins, ideology, implementation, impact and historiography of religion and conflict in the medieval and early modern periods. Tolerance, religious change and the role of religion in the resolution of conflict are also of central importance to the studies engaged in by the Centre. Conflicts with religious elements encompass not just military engagements but also social, political, cultural and economic events, forming a common strand between Medieval and Early Modern worlds. It is this multi-faceted nature of religion and conflict which has allowed for the development of a centre which focusses on these themes at Nottingham Trent University. The research undertaken in the centre is innovative and wide ranging in form. It has a high degree of international coverage and comprises half a millennium. The subjects under scrutiny here relate to major themes such as gender, community, emotion, politics, society through the lens of work on the crusades, confessionalism, wars of religion and civil war. Alongside this world-class research the centre has a serious commitment to public communication. The 2017 conference incorporated a broad chronological spectrum from medieval to early modern with a view to developing current research, sharing techniques, investigating new approaches and enhancing study in the wider field. The resulting articles put forward for publication examine ideas about religion and conflict in the context of text and identity, church and state, civic environments, marriage, the parish, heresy, gender, dialogues, war and finance, and Holy War. This collection investigates the relationship between religion and conflict from the seventh to eighteenth centuries and from a variety of historical and geographical perspectives ranging from Byzantium to post-conquest Mexico. It explores the vocabularies and mediums for the integration of religion into situations of conflict in diverse historical contexts. Both written and visual expressions of religion at times of conflict are explored, establishing the use of religion in propaganda and polemic as key to the formation of identities. It takes a focused look at religious expressions of conflict at a localised level: including studies on the use of language in legal and clerical contexts to influence social behaviours relating to comportment, marriage and sedition. It also explores spatial expressions of religious conflict within medieval and early modern urban environments, and through travel and pilgrimage. The final section of this collection examines the use of religion to legitimise the use of violence, to underpin its spiritual value and to rationalise the enforcement of social rules.

NEL PRESENTE LAVORO si metteranno in luce alcune dinamiche poco note tra governo mamelucco, frati minori e potenze europee nel corso del XV secolo, ponendo l’accento su alcuni episodi occorsi tra il 1427 e il 1452. Tali episodi riguardano il monastero francescano di Monte Sion, sede della Custodia francescana di Terrasanta, e perché se ne ricavi una lettura più consapevole devono venire inquadrati all’interno delle relazioni tra autorità islamica e soggetti non islamici a essa sottoposti (dimmī). Prima di entrare in argomento va tuttavia richiamata l’attenzione su tre punti essenziali che sembrano trasparire dalla maggior parte degli studi sui luoghi ritenuti sacri in Terrasanta. Il primo è che, in larga misura, si continua ad ignorare la rilevanza—tanto simbolica quanto pratica—della Palestina e dei suoi santuari per l’Occidente europeo, nonché la concreta portata degli scambi interculturali tra diverse realtà religiose (musulmane, ebraiche e cristiane latine, ma pure ortodosse, giacobite, copte, georgiane) che rese e rende tuttora la Terrasanta un eccezionale crocevia di culti e saperi. Il secondo è che la storia di Terrasanta appare come la storia di una multiculturalità vissuta in compartimenti stagni; e tale reciproco isolamento si riflette spesso nella produzione scientifica. Gli arabisti affrontano la documentazione araba ma non i resoconti odeporici o le fonti diplomatiche europee; i medievisti interessati alla storia europea si servono in via pressoché esclusiva dei testi dei pellegrini, senza

Particularly in recent decades, late medieval Christian pilgrimage to the Holy Sepulchre has been the subject of numerous studies. Historiography has moved mainly along two lines: that of the description of the phenomenon (in itself extremely diverse) as an accumulation of anecdotes, or that of the exceptional nature of the single pilgrim, irreducible as such to the unique category of traveler devotee. This special issue aims to improve our understanding of what it meant to visit the Holy Land during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, starting from practical observation until other more abstract: from the role of the Friars Minor to the problems of interpretation that the travel texts pose, from judicial pilgrimage to relations between Mamluk sultans and Christian rulers.

Quando è morto veramente Leonello d’Este, la cui agonia è stata dilatata dai Dodici savi per meglio prepararne la successione? Perché nel 1425 la Serenissima mette in moto tutti i suoi apparati per aiutare il marchese Niccolò a rintracciare il figlio maggiore, Meliaduse, fuggito a Milano creando un complicato caso diplomatico? Cosa significa, nel tardo Quattrocento, essere un quadro dell’amministrazione estense? Il presente volume, fondato su ampie ricerche d’archivio e su una larga consultazione delle cronache del tempo, risponde a questi e ad altri interrogativi, studiando da angolazioni insolite la vita della corte estense e i suoi rapporti con il clero, i letterati, gli ufficiali della Camera Ducale.

After the fall of Acre the utterly unstable balance among European, Islamic and Oriental powers was reestablished on new grounds. Echoes of a new era can be recognized as early as the begin of the 14th century, when pilgrimages began to cover the so-called Egyptian Quests. This paper addresses two Egyptians holy places – the Holy Virgin cave in Saint Sergius Church at Cayro and the Balm Garden at Matarya – comparing Western, Coptic and Muslim sources. It also suggests the need of broadening the perspectives of the research from mere reading of pilgrims’ reports to the study of other topics, such as Islamic Law and the economy of the Mediterranean basin. All this leads to realize that even miracles, legends, and the whole geography of the sacred objects are deeply influenced by historic developments

In April 1464 Borso d’Este, Lord of Ferrara, sent two of his servants to Tunis in order to purchase prized horses, giving precise instructions for offering his regards and presenting his gifts to the ruler of Tunis. The letter that the Marquis entrusts to his two servants is a mine of information, because Borso leaves nothing to chance. His instructions cover every aspect of the ambassadorial visit: when to show the gifts, how and in what order to show them, the speech to be given. Many of the instructions given to ambassadors by their governments are yet to be investigated: how much room for manoeuvre did they leave in achieving the objectives of the mission, for example? In the case of the Marquis of Ferrara, Borso intends to exhibit his kingship through the staging of the presentation of his gifts, and through the posture, the gestures and the words of his representatives. The analysis of his letter can offer an interpretative guide for examining the appearances and public celebrations organized by Borso during his rule, which took place in an age of great experimentation.

So far, the gender perspective has not been a fruitful prospect regarding the pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the Middle Ages. The subject of female pilgrimage is challenging because of the lack of sources produced by women. With the help of a corpus of over 100 pilgrimage accounts dating from 1320 to 1512, written by Christian pilgrims from all over Europe, this essay will shed some light on data on late medieval female pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It supplies also reflections on the type of information that sources provide (or do not provide), and hypothesis to counteract the reticence of sources.

During the carnival period, the Duke of Ferrara Hercules I of Este (1471-1505) often emanated decrees in which he forbade people in masks to hurt others (similar decrees were issued in many cities, such as Venice). He also forbade masked people from carrying weapons and sticks (but only those that were larger than what the city statutes allowed for). The temptation to settle scores, however, was evidently too strong, because chronicles often report assaults, injuries, and even out and out ambushes.

The tasks of the Bolognese officers at the ‘bollette’ are described in the Statutes since 1378, those of the Ferrara officers since 1438. With regard to both offices only a few registers remained, in which were written the names of the foreigners who entered the city. Thanks to these documents it is possible to draw a picture of the work of the officers, and the policies of Bologna and Ferrara regarding the management of the foreigners who reached the two cities.

In the medieval context, the phenomenon of foreigners in urban areas has been explored mainly through one aspect: the investigation of individual groups (the merchants of Barcelona, the silk manufacturers of Lucca… ) and the strategies they employed with respect to urban realities that were extraneous to them (Who left their homelands and when? How did foreigners relate to the inhabitants of the place? Did foreigners choose integration? Or rather, did they even have the opportunity to make those choices? Were the periods outside of one’s original homeland transformed in a change of homeland tout court?). This approach is to be understood in each of the two directions: both the foreigners’ strategies, and those of the host community. My research is based, instead, on the movement of individuals.Not a small or large group, but the phenomenon of mobility itself, net of migrations (procedures for migrants and travelers, in fact, were often different). How many people usually had access to a city?Did they come from nearby or far away? Did they prefer to reside in private accommodation, in ecclesiastical buildings or in hotels?How many, among the travelers who accessed the city,were diplomats? How many were clergymen? And:how did foreigners enter the cities?The entrance to the city, in the Middle Ages and in the Old Regime governments, required a series of procedures which differed from place to place. In Bologna, the statutes tell us that these controls, and the compilation of registers, were the task of the “Bollette” Office. We know that similar offices also existed in Mantua, Milan, Treviso, and Florence, but the only surviving Libri di PresentazionideiForestieri (“Books of the Presentations of Strangers”) from the fifteenth century are those of Bologna. These registers contain the names, origins, and sometimes the status of those entering the city of Bologna. Unfortunately, the surviving registers contain information only for the following periods:1412, July, 1 - December, 31; 1413, January, 1 - November 16; 1418, June 25 - December 30; 1419, January, 1 - June; 1420, January 1 - June 30; 1428 August - 1429, May; 1436, July 1 - September, 28; 1444, May, 3 -28. I performed a survey inside Italian state archives to get an overview of the material regarding the surviving ‘Bollette’ of foreigners from the late Middle Ages, and another inside Italian Communal Statutes, in order to find, if not the registers, at least traces of the laws regarding the access procedures. This paper offers the first results of my PhD: in more than two years I have done research on over 90 archives and 15 statutes. This study can be considered the first overview of the management of foreigners’ access to Italian cities during the fifteenth century, with a particular focus on bolognese documentation from which it is possible to derive valuable information and statistical data on the flow of foreigners entering the city.

Among its many treasures, the State Archive of Bologna retains one particular set of very rare documents: they are the “Books of the Presentations of Strangers” (Libri di Presentazioni dei Forestieri). These registers contain the names, origins, and sometimes the status of those entering the city of Bologna. For security reasons, the foreigners also had to declare their residence during their stay in the city. Even this information was recorded in the Books: the Books thus provide the names of the inns that served as accommodation. Unfortunately, these registers contain information only for the following periods:1412, July, 1 - December, 31; 1413, January, 1 - November 16; 1418, June 25 - December 30; 1419, January, 1 - June; 1420, January 1 - June 30; 1428 August - 1429, May; 1436, July 1 - September, 28; 1444, May, 3 -28. Still, the data are numerous: for example, there are more than 800 people recorded for the month of July 1412, with more or less crowded days (from 15 to 44 entrances). During the Late Middle Ages, as well as during the Ancient Régime, controlling the flow of human mobility was a major challenge for the safety and well-being of citizens, not only in Bologna but throughout the whole Italian peninsula. In Bologna, the statutes tell us that these controls, and the compilation of registers, were the task of the “Bollette” Office. We know that similar offices also existed in Ferrara, Mantua, Milan, Treviso, and Florence, but the only surviving registers from the fifteenth century are those of Bologna, on which my doctoral research is focused. This paper examines these most important archival sources and the statistical data that can be gleaned from them: data that help us understand the daily reality of one of the most important medieval Italian cities.

Beatrice Saletti " A bloody feast. Assaults and injuries during Carnival in the dukedom of Ercole I d'Este " Despite the great diversity that may exist from city to city, today in Italy Carnival is a celebration experienced mainly by children. The word 'carnival' usually evokes costumes, confetti, jokes and fun. During the Renaissance, however, things were quite different. One of the main characteristics of Carnival was the possibility of circulating in masks. During the carnival period, the Duke of Ferrara Hercules I of Este (1471-1505) often emanated decrees in which he forbade people in masks to hurt others (similar decrees were issued in many cities, such as Venice). He also forbade masked people from carrying weapons and sticks (but only those that were larger than what the city statutes allowed for). The temptation to settle scores, however, was evidently too strong, because chronicles often report assaults, injuries, and even out and out ambushes. Behind this violence, there could be economic reasons, such as when, in February 3, 1480, a student of Law at the University of Ferrara attacked a Jewish lender, causing his death, which occurred about a month later. Sometimes the episodes were less severe: in the same year, another law student, Tommaso Arienti, flung a jug full of excrement in a woman's face. This paper intends to show, through testimonies provided by the jurists and chroniclers Bernardino Zambotti and Girolamo Ferrarini (who used to circulate in costume), the circumstances and outcomes of aggression that occurred in Ferrara during Carnival under the Duchy of Hercules I.

Nell’estate del 1483 una nave veneziana, carica di pellegrini, faceva tappa a Rodi per rifornirsi di acqua e cibi freschi. I pellegrini ne approfittarono, come d’usanza, per visitare il tesoro di reliquie ivi conservato. Al momento di fare ritorno in nave per salpare, una pellegrina ‒ troppo lontana per udire i richiami ‒ restò sull’isola. Era l’unica donna di una comitiva di oltre cento pellegrini, eppure, riferisce il frate domenicano Fabri, testimone dell’evento, «de illius autem mulieris nemo tristis erat absentia, nisi maritus eius, quia fecerat se ultra modum odiosam suis fatuis locutionibus et curiosis indagationibus inutilium».

In 1217, during the V th Crusade, the German pilgrim Thietmar decided to leave Acre for Sinai to visit the body of Saint Catherine, even though he was well aware of the dangers that this journey entailed. At this point, hoping to avoid the fate of ending up in a Muslim (Ayyubid) jail, Thietmar disguised himself as a Georgian monk, making sure to flaunt an adequately long beard. After the Saladin conquest of Jerusalem, the frank pilgrims not directly involved in the military actions who wished to visit holy places used to disguise themselves in order to travel more safely, and continue to do so even after the end of the Crusader Kingdom. In 1419 Nicolò d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara, pretended to be the brother of his galley's patron; in 1440 his son Meliaduse disguised himself as a Mamluk on the voyage from Damascus to Jerusalem and from there to Cairo, though while in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas he pretended to be a merchant from the Marche region. As for the late XV century, at the port of Jaffa Bernardino Dinali pretended to be a galley rower, at the port of Alexandria, Arnold von Harff a merchant, and the list could go on. On the other side, we know cases in which someone pretended to be a pilgrim but was, instead, an explorer: Ghillebert de Lannoy, for example, or Bertrandon de la Broquière; both from the Burgundian Court of Duke Philip the Good. The paper aims to provide an overview of reasons for which European Christians travelling to the Holy Land in late middle ages choose to hide their real identity, and the way in wich they did it.

Christian pilgrims who visited the Holy Land in the late Middle Ages provide us a useful perspective on how much the categories 'miracle', 'superstition' and 'nature' are relative. For example, in the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, the Augustinian friar Jacopo da Verona (1335) describes the columns that miraculously "a die mortis Cristi die noctuque sudant omni tempore”. In the same year the german knight Boldensele, in front of the same columns, wrote: " simplices dicunt, quod plangant et defleant morte Christi, quod verum non est, quia ubi natura sufficit non est ad miraculum recurrendum”. Sometimes what pilgrims describe is an obviously natural phenomenon. Sometimes they refer to legends related to the past, and not the result of direct observation (e.g. the snake of Bethlehem). Other miracles would today be called "collective suggestions" (e.g. on the Mount of Olives, could enter the tomb of St. Pelagia only who is not in mortal sin). The paper relates to the different interpretation of the more or less "miraculous" phenomena in the accounts of pilgrims.

Nicolò III d’Este obtained the marquisate when he was not yet ten years old, and has to defend itself against the ambitions of his relative Azzo d'Este. But neither the management of his descendants did lack for difficulties: in 1425 his second wife and his eldest son Ugo were beheaded. A few months later his second son, Meliaduse, fled from Ferrara to avoid taking the vows and so being excluded from the succession. In 1439 Borso, the fourth child of Nicolò, was in the service of Venice, and was accused of treason by his father. In fact Borso had obeyed an order of his father, worried of the growing of the Venetian control on the Polesine region, and for mere calculation Nicolò had pretended to dissociate itself from his son’s action. Nicolò was a skilled politician. But he had given birth to more than 30 children, most of them illegitimate, and mismanaged his succession. The bastards were used as pawns by the father, and harmony was not always possible between the brothers. Despite the silence of contemporary chronicles, an endemic instability can be traced to sources outside the domain. Even the illegitimate daughters of the family, despite their limited possibility of affecting the dynamics of power, caused conflicts, i.e. not accepting the marriage choices imposed on them: which is the case of Laura d’Este, defined by Eleonora d 'Aragona ‘bestial female '.

Today we tend to accept the statements of medieval pilgrims without many problems; they describe the place where saint John celebrated the first Mass, where the Magi’s star appeared, where the cock crowed three times. All elements that, at least in Christian Europe, are familiar to everyone from a very young age. Indeed, each detail regarding holy places is the fruit of a centuries-long path, and is neither linear nor unambiguous: for example the Magi’s number, identities, religion, and even the duration of their journey, along with many other aspects regarding these figures and their role in the Gospel of Mark, and thus in Christianity, represent a complicated historiographical problem.
Medieval pilgrims do not distinguish between canonical Gospels, Apocrypha, and legends. After five hundred years, at times it is impossible to recover the source of a given miracle regarding Christ or the Virgin. This does not mean, however, that it is useless to try; even partial and uncertain results can tell us a great deal. We have testimony to the fact that some pilgrims were learned and had rather precise ideas about holy places, and that they studied the sacred texts and their commentaries. But very often the legends and miracles that pilgrims write about are not in the Bible or in the writings of the Church fathers. As well as information for pilgrims and directions for the places that they ought to have visited (which we will come back to later), miracles and legends always depended on the choices that somebody made. This paper aims to show that even events considered out of history (and nature), as miracles, depend on cultural – sometimes political – factors related to Christian life in Holy Land.

Written documents about Christian pilgrimages to the Holy Land have been known since the Itinerarium burdigalense (fourth century). Since then, pilgrims’ travels have never stopped and are still flourishing. In the late Middle Ages, like today, pilgrims went to the holy places in order to achieve spiritual salvation. But even if they risked their lives to get physically in touch with the places visited by Christ, such contact was necessarily limited in time and raised doubts about its effectiveness. For this reason, pilgrims often tried to get (both by means of purchase, or – when that was not allowed – also by theft) pieces of the holy places, infinite 'reservoirs' of holiness to be kept in their homes and pass on to their descendants.
This paper aims to provide a catalog of sacred objects intended for domestic devotion, based on the analysis of more than twenty travel accounts dating from the fifteenth century. Needless to say, fifteenth-century pilgrims believed that spiritual salvation in its all-encompassing dimension also included physical salvation. The sand of the Ager Damascenus, the water of the Jordan River, marbles of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre were not brought home just to be looked at and prayed upon, but also had a therapeutic function, as the pilgrims themselves clearly state. For example, after his pilgrimage in 1384, the Florentine Lionardo Frescobaldi treated his sick child's leg using the Balm of Matariya which, according to Christians pilgrims between the thirteenth and early sixteenth century, had a miraculous origin (the plant was thought to be born from the sweat of Christ and could live only if watered by a spring of water created by Christ).

How to define the contents of the categories "science" and
"religion"? How the “religion” category differs from
that of "bigotry" or "superstition"? The
answers vary according to place and period. In the contemporary
contest, characterized by cultural relativism, we assist on the one
hand to a generalized trend towards secularization, on the other hand
to the armed radicalization of sectarian claim. Today, in the West,
the concept of "religion" tends to take on negative
connotations as perceived as opposed to scientific rationality and
pragmatism. In the European Middle Ages and early Modern Age, however,
science was believed to be in harmony with religion. To observe the
nature was considered a privileged way to reveal (and recognize) the
grandeur of God's creation. The panel provides an overview of
three different moments of reflection on natural and supernatural: the
explanation that Christian pilgrims gave of the miracles that they met
in the Holy Land in the late Middle Ages, the contribution of Gerolamo
Cardano to the scientific debate during Renaissance, and the
confrontation of the Jesuit Matteo Ricci with the East’s
‘Otherness’ in the late sixteenth century.

The entrance to the city, in the Middle Ages and in the Old Regime governments, required a series of procedures, different from place to place.
I have chosen the case of Bologna as the topic of my second PhD, and I am focusing on the years 1412, 1413, 1418, 1428 and 1436. In September I will begin a survey inside Italian state archives to get an overview of the material regarding the surviving ‘Bollette’ of foreigners from the late Middle Ages. I propose this session as a appeal: do you studies, documents or archival funds that you can signal me? I did not find studies on the subject: neither in a regional, nor in an Italian perspective. However, I think that knowing other European cases could be of help.

On the 1st of August 1497 Ercole d'Este writes to Costanza de Bertholinis to request the delivery of the dowry to her daughter Samaritana, who had recently married Bruscho, his tailor. Since that date the Duke sends several letters, with increasingly insistent tones, so that Bruscho receives exactly what Hercules has in mind: «Intendemo che pure se differisce in satisfatione d’ista dote, et ch’el se tenta de darli cavalli, et vigne, et atri beni inutili, che è contra la mente et voluntà nostra, et fuora del bisogno de dicta vostra figliola. Pertanto di novo ve dicemo…» (May, 5, 1498). Hercules, very knowledgeable, argues about the will of Costanza’s husband, the assets in her possession, the dowry given to her other daughters. With these documents, we can glimpse a topic so far not investigated: one of the ways (overly invasive) with which the Este controlled the resources of their duchy.

The conference intends to revisit within a single framework some of the multiple approaches to the study of the long Estense Renaissance between the Fourteenth and Seventeenth centuries. The Este civilization has attracted medieval and modern historians; historians of art, theatre, music, miniatures, architecture, urban planning; specialists in Romance philology, literary criticism, history of literature, philosophy and other disciplines. The temporal vastness within which the Estes have exercised their government, in parallel with the vastness of spheres within which they have expressed their influence on styles and fashions, has so far discouraged an organic treatment. Hoping to contribute to the comparison between the acquisitions of heterogeneous disciplines, provide new results and revive the scientific debate, Representing the Este aims to take stock of the perception of the Este 'style' inside and outside the territories governed by the Este.
