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.
BEATRICE SALETTI, già ricercatrice presso l'Università telematica eCampus e dottore di ricerca in " Storia dei centri, delle vie e della cultura dei pellegrinaggi nel Medioevo " a Lecce, è attualmente dottoranda in storia medievale (interateneo Trieste-Udine). Tra i suoi lavori, le edizioni, con introduzione e commento continuo, del Viagio del Sancto Sepolcro facto per lo illustro misere Milliaduxe estense (ISIME, 2009) e – con Fabio Romanini – di due guide crociate della Terrasanta in anglo-normanno, i Pelrinages communes e i Pardouns de Acre (libreriauniversitaria.it, 2012). Ha pubblicato inoltre Luoghi di culto della Traspadana ferrarese. Attraverso le visite pastorali e il carteggio del vescovo Leni, 1611-1627 (Comunicarte, 2002) e (sempre per libreriauniversitaria.it, 2015) La successione di Leonello d'Este e altri studi sul Quattrocento ferrarese.

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.

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

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.

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

Se tale processo \ue8 comune a un elevato numero di cittadine italiane del periodo, \ue8 tuttavia innegabile il ruolo degli Este nel modificare radicalmente il volto della citt\ue0 capitale del loro marchesato e ducato, tramite ardite e massicce imprese architettoniche che le cronache, di qualsivoglia autore, non possono tacere. \uc8 sulla citt\ue0 in evoluzione, sui significati percepiti dei suoi cambiamenti, che si articola l\u2019intervento

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. Eppure, i dati sono numerosissimi: si tratta di oltre 800 persone registrate per il solo mese di luglio 1412, ...

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

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

Il pellegrinaggio gerosolimitano femminile nella bassa età medievale non è stato indagato affatto, ma un’indagine accurata dei resoconti rivela informazioni preziose sul fenomeno. La relazione fornisce spunti emersi dall’esame di un corpus di oltre 100 testi di pellegrinaggio (1321-1512).
"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.
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.
Keywords: Este family, History of Dowry, History of Marriage, Gender Studies
In occasione di questa manifestazione del venerdì pomeriggio si discuterà della storia dei Luoghi Santi cristiani di Gerusalemme dal 4° al 16° secolo che sono ancora oggi venerati da diversi gruppi religiosi. Beatrice Saletti presenterà una panoramica del culto dei Luoghi Santi di Gerusalemme con un focus sulle sfide che si incontrano lavorando con le fonti – per esempio gli itinerari dei pellegrini – e confrontandole con la storiografia. Inoltre metterà in evidenza il ruolo decisivo dei Francescani a partire dal 1340.
Questa sintesi sarà messa a confronto con lo studio di un caso particolare. In generale, le radici di ogni luogo santo risalgono alle storie bibliche. Nel caso del Campo di Sangue (Akeldama), la tradizione vuole che quello corrisponda al campo del vasaio, che è stato acquistato con i 30 denari di Giuda per costruire un luogo di sepoltura per gli stranieri. Tuttavia, il vangelo secondo Matteo non fornisce alcuna indicazione per localizzare quel luogo. Si può però ritenere che i pellegrini dell’epoca interpretavano ogni luogo di sepoltura come campo del sangue. Si dice che la localizzazione dell’Akeldama sia rimasta inalterata dal tempo di Girolamo (4 ° secolo) e che la sua architettura risalga alla dominazione crociata (12 ° secolo). Rahel Meier esporrà alcuni elementi per valutare se questa narrazione derivi da interessi geopolitici o da esigenze religiose.
