Nell'India meridionale gli zoroastriani sono così onesti che un apposito funzionario raccoglie per strada gli oggetti smarriti e si mette in cerca dei proprietari. Le donne del Malabar sono le più disinibite e nelle Canarie la gelosia è un sentimento sconosciuto. Nelle acque di Alessandria vive un pesce delizioso sia arrostito che bollito, ma mangiarlo provoca imbarazzanti sogni erotici. Il deserto Iwalatan, nel Mali, è abitato da geni cattivi che fanno smarrire i viaggiatori solitari spostando magicamente le dune. Questa è solo una parte del mondo incantato, tra cronaca e invenzione, che prende vita dai resoconti degli antichi viaggiatori del Medioevo: uomini che siaddentrarono in Estremo Oriente, nelle più sperdute e fredde terre del Nord, nei deserti dell'Asia centrale e dell'Africa o che, dall'Oriente più lontano, arrivarono fino al cuore della cristianità. In un racconto pieno di storie e di leggende stravaganti, Duccio Balestracci cede la parola agli antichi viaggiatori e alla loro epica della fantasia e della curiosità.

The Thirty Pieces of Silver: Coin Relics in Medieval and Modern Europe discusses many interconnected topics relating to the most perfidious monetary transaction in history: the betrayal of Jesus by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. According to medieval legend, these coins had existed since the time of Abraham’s father and had been used in many transactions recorded in the Bible. This book documents fifty specimens of coins which were venerated as holy relics in medieval and modern churches and monasteries of Europe, from Valencia to Uppsala. Most of these relics are ancient Greek silver coins in origin mounted in precious reliquaries or used for the distribution of their wax imprints believed to have healing powers. Drawing from a wide range of historical sources, from hagiography to numismatics, this book will appeal to students and academics researching Late Antique, Medieval, and Early Modern History, Theology, as well as all those interested in the function of relics throughout Christendom. The Thirty Pieces of Silver is a study that invites meditation on the highly symbolic and powerful role of money through coins which were the price, value, and measure of Christ and which, despite being the most abject objects, managed to become relics.

This volume is a collection of research essays submitted by fellows of the Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg, an Advanced Center of Research in Mamluk Studies. It covers three themes, which correspond to the research agenda of the final three academic years of the Annemarie Schimmel Kolleg. These were: environmental history, material culture studies, and im/mobility. The aim of the contributions is to overcome the disciplinary boundaries of the field and to engage in scholarly debates in Ottoman Studies, European history, archae-ology and art history, and even the natural sciences.

This new volume explores the surprisingly intense and complex relationships between East and West during the Middle Ages and the early modern world, combining a large number of critical studies representing such diverse fields as literary (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, and Arabic) and other subdisciplines of history, religion, anthropology, and linguistics. The differences between Islam and Christianity erected strong barriers separating two global cultures, but, as this volume indicates, despite many attempts to 'Other' the opposing side, the premodern world experienced an astonishing degree of contacts, meetings, exchanges, and influences. Scientists, travelers, authors, medical researchers, chroniclers, diplomats, and merchants criss-crossed the East and the West, or studied the sources produced by the other culture for many different reasons. As much as the theoretical concept of 'Orientalism' has been useful in sensitizing us to the fundamental tensions and conflicts separating both worlds at least since the eighteenth century, the premodern world did not quite yet operate in such an ideological framework. Even though the Crusades had violently pitted Christians against Muslims, there were countless contacts and a palpitable curiosity on both sides both before, during, and after those religious warfares.

In recent decades, European historiography has actively dealt with the history of the body, thus giving depth and awareness to powerful stimuli coming from the dominant culture in the affluent society. Therefore, object of research has been not only the 'beautiful' body, but also the body of the common man, mutilated, deformed and imperfect. Through surveys in legal-regulatory, registry, iconographic, literary sources and in medical and physiognomic treatises and thanks to the participation of some of the major international specialists in the field, the volume intends to investigate these issues especially in the geographical, cultural and documentary context of Italy in the late Middle Ages and the early modern age, which has so far remained on the margins of this line of studies.

En la Edad Media se viaja por motivos políticos, por trabajo, para rezar o para estudiar: por los caminos se encuentran reyes y mercaderes, peregrinos y delincuentes, clérigos y juglares, marginados y caballeros andantes. Se navega por ríos, por lagos, por canales, por mares o por el océano. Este libro nos presenta a esta variada humanidad en camino mientras atraviesa países y continentes; reconstruye sus trayectos, sus penalidades, sus miedos, sus emociones. ¿Qué significaba ponerse en camino dejando atrás el propio hogar?, ¿cuáles eran los modos concretos de viajar?, ¿qué conocimientos nacían del saber geográfico y cuáles eran solo fantasías?, ¿cuáles eran los países por entonces conocidos?, ¿qué relaciones se establecían con los extranjeros? Curiosidad, inquietud, fe, deseo de aventura, ansias de conocer, necesidades materiales o exigencias del trabajo animan sin cesar este trasiego de gentes. Ningún libro de viajes, por muy fiel que sea, podrá describir la intensidad y la dimensión que caracterizaban el ir y venir de personas normales y corrientes por los caminos medievales.

Da qualche tempo, in Gran Bretagna, si parla di folk horror per indicare quel miscuglio di isolamento rurale, paganesimo e paure ctonie che sembra animare come un filo segreto la cultura degli anni Settanta, tesa fra occultismo, psichedelia e incubi rurali. Al tempo stesso, sulla scia di pensatori come Jacques Derrida e Mark Fisher, folk horror ha preso a indicare qualcos’altro: non solo certe atmosfere del passato più prossimo, ma anche e soprattutto i rapporti che noi contemporanei intratteniamo con quelle atmosfere, cercando in esse un antidoto al vuoto di senso che sembra caratterizzare il presente. Almanacco dell’orrore popolare non è solo un viaggio alla scoperta del folk horror della provincia italiana. È, anzitutto, un’indagine sulle tensioni più segrete che animano la cultura della penisola: l’onnipresenza del passato e la compresenza di antico e moderno, la permeabilità tra mondo subalterno e cultura alta e lo slittare continuo tra centro e margine – sia esso geografico, sociale o culturale – che dà alla cultura italiana un’impronta perennemente decentrata, diasporica, soggetta a ibridazioni. Almanacco dell’orrore popolare raccoglie saggi, racconti e testimonianze senza inseguire una (impossibile) completezza. Ne risulta un singolare missaggio, nel quale pop e folk, invenzione e tradizione si confondono: delineando così l’ombra di una Repubblica Invisibile della quale facciamo tutti, inconsapevolmente, parte.
