Medieval Italy: Texts in Translation edited by Katherine L Jansen & Joanna Drell & Frances Andrews

Medieval Italy gathers together an unparalleled selection of newly translated primary sources from the central and later Middle Ages, a period during which Italy was famous for its diverse cultural landscape of urban towers and fortified castles, the spirituality of Saints Francis and Clare, and the vernacular poetry of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio.

A unique feature of this volume is its incorporation of the southern part of the peninsula and Sicily--the glittering Norman court at Palermo, the multicultural emporium of the south, and the kingdoms of Frederick II--into a larger narrative of Italian history. Including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Lombard sources, the documents speak in ethnically and religiously differentiated voices, while providing wider chronological and geographical coverage than previously available.

Rich in interdisciplinary texts and organized to enable the reader to focus by specific region, topic, or period, this is a volume that will be an essential resource for anyone with a professional or private interest in the history, religion, literature, politics, and built environment of Italy from ca. 1000 to 1400.

About the Author: Katherine L. Jansen is Associate Professor of History at The Catholic University of America, Joanna Drell is Associate Professor of History at the University of Richmond, and Frances Andrews is Reader in Medieval History at the University of St. Andrews.

„Srednjovekovna Italija“ okuplja nenadmašan izbor novoprevedenih primarnih izvora iz centralnog i kasnijeg srednjeg veka, perioda tokom kojeg je Italija bila poznata po svom raznovrsnom kulturnom pejzažu urbanih kula i utvrđenih zamkova, duhovnosti svetih Franje i Klare i narodnoj poeziji Dantea, Petrarke i Bokačoa.

Jedinstvena karakteristika ove knjige jeste uključivanje južnog dela poluostrva i Sicilije – blistavog normanskog dvora u Palermu, multikulturalnog tržnog centra juga i kraljevstava Fridriha II – u širu naraciju italijanske istorije. Uključujući hebrejske, arapske, grčke i lombardijske izvore, dokumenti govore etnički i religiozno diferenciranim glasovima, pružajući širi hronološki i geografski pokrivenost nego što je to ranije bilo dostupno.

Bogata interdisciplinarnim tekstovima i organizovana tako da omogući čitaocu da se fokusira na određeni region, temu ili period, ova knjiga će biti neophodan resurs za svakoga ko ima profesionalno ili privatno interesovanje za istoriju, religiju, književnost, politiku i izgrađeno okruženje Italije od oko 1000. do 1400. godine.

Medieval Italy gathers together an unparalleled selection of newly translated primary sources from the central and later Middle Ages, a period during which Italy was famous for its diverse cultural landscape of urban towers and fortified castles, the spirituality of Saints Francis and Clare, and the vernacular poetry of Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio. The texts highlight the continuities with the medieval Latin West while simultaneously emphasizing the ways in which Italy was exceptional, particularly for its cities that drove Mediterranean trade, its new communal forms of government, the impact of the papacy`s temporal claims on the central peninsula, and the richly textured religious life of the mainland and its islands.

A unique feature of this volume is its incorporation of the southern part of the peninsula and Sicily—the glittering Norman court at Palermo, the multicultural emporium of the south, and the kingdoms of Frederick II—into a larger narrative of Italian history. Including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Lombard sources, the documents speak in ethnically and religiously differentiated voices, while providing wider chronological and geographical coverage than previously available.
