Conceiving that the pages of our Transactions cannot be better occupied than by the publication of such early and authentic manuscripts as may serve to throw light on obscure periods of our ancient History, I beg leave to lay before the Society a transcript which I have caused to be made from the Harleian Library of a Chronicle containing a very minute relation of some remarkable events in the two last years of Edward the Third, which, as our Vice President, Mr. Hallam, has observed in his History of the Middle Ages, have been slurred over by most of our general historians.

The Umayyah dynasty became a major force in the development of propaganda spread throughout the world as well as being one of the first centers of political, cultural and scientific studies in the world since the Middle Ages. At the height of its greatness, its success in expanding Islamic power was far greater than that of the Roman empire. The history of Islamic preaching in the Umayyah Dynasty can be divided into two periods in the dynasty era in Damascus and in Cordoba. Islamic da'wah at this time was carried out in three stages, first the expansion of the da'wah area, the second was the development of science and the third was economic thought.

Resumen: Es frecuente en las historias de España la alusión a ciertos personajes de la historia de Roma destacando el papel fundamental que desempeñaron en la historia antigua de España y de la misma Roma, como César, fundador de ciudades, o Trajano y los llamados “emperadores españoles”. El propósito de este trabajo es rastrear el tratamiento que recibió Augusto en la historiografía española de época medieval y del Renacimiento desde las crónicas de Lucas de Tuy, Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada y las Estorias de Alfonso X el Sabio hasta los relatos de los cronistas reales Elio Antonio de Nebrija, Florián de Ocampo y Ambrosio de Morales. Se estudiará también la presencia de Augusto en las colecciones y los programas iconográficos de la monarquía.Palabras clave: Augusto, Historiografía española, Programas iconográficos del Renacimiento, Coleccionismo de antigüedades.Abstract: It is common in Spanish historiography to allude to certain characters in the history of Rome by highlighting their crucial role in the ancient history of Spain and in Rome itself, e.g., Caesar, founder of cities, or Trajan and the so-called “Spanish emperors”. The purpose of this paper is to follow the treatment received by Augustus in the Spanish historiography of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance using the chronicles of Lucas de Tuy, Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada, the Estorias of Alfonso X the Wise, and the stories of the royal chroniclers Elio Antonio de Nebrija, Florián de Ocampo and Ambrosio de Morales. The presence of Augustus in collections and iconographic programmes of the monarchy is also studied.Key words: Augustus, Spanish Historiography, Iconographic programs of the Renaissance, Collection of antiquities.

What rhetorical traditions did the Middle Ages inherit from antiquity? The first part of this chapter outlines those traditions: a partial corpus of Ciceronian rhetoric; Horace’s Ars poetica; the Rhetoric of Aristotle which was not known until the thirteenth century. The second part considers how emotions figure across rhetorical doctrine in antiquity and the Middle Ages. The third part of the chapter considers the relation of this work to emotions studies and history of emotions more broadly. The fourth part of this Introduction considers the relation between theory and practice, and the sources from which we draw our understanding of medieval rhetoric and the emotions: from theoretical treatises, from rhetorical practice, and the intersections of the two.

Chapter 2 surveys the transmission and reception of the Destruction of Troy in the Middle Ages, from the earliest attestations of the text in Carolingian Francia to the height of its popularity in twelfth-century England. Specifically, it examines how medieval scribes and compilers packaged the text in multi-text manuscripts, which survive today in great numbers. Many of these codices continued Dares with accounts of the Trojan origins of the Franks, Britons, and other medieval peoples. In this fashion the Destruction of Troy morphed from an ancient history into a medieval genealogy—it functioned as a means of linking the medieval present to the ancient past through claims of Trojan ancestry. The latter portions of the chapter explore Dares’ many connections with Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain, a twelfth-century pseudo-history that famously claimed Britain had been founded by the Trojan Brutus.

Despite their period from the tenth to the twelfth century, at the height of the Middle Ages; despite their position in Egypt, at the centre of the civilization of the Near and Middle East; and despite their prominence as the third Caliphate of Islam, the Fāṭimids lack a satisfactory modern history of their dynasty. This is partly because of the length of their life, which covers the histories of so many hundreds of years; partly because of the span of their empire from North Africa to Egypt and Syria, stretching across the histories of so many regions; and finally because, at the level of Islam itself, their empire was divided between their dawla or state and their daՙwa or doctrine. The doctrine, which focused on the Fāṭimid Imām as the quṭb or pole of faith, gave the dynasty its peculiar strength and endurance. The failure of that doctrine to supersede the Islam of the schools, however, left the Fāṭimids increasingly isolated and ultimately vulnerable. Standing outside the mainstream of Islamic tradition, the dynasty's own version of its history was disregarded. Instead, its components passed out of their original context to be incorporated into the regional or universal histories of subsequent authors. Maqrīzī was alone in compiling his Ittiՙāẓ al-ḥunafā' as a history of the dynasty in Egypt, introduced by a miscellany of information on its origins and previous career.

In the second half of the first millennium CE, the Christian Middle East fractured irreparably into competing churches and Arabs conquered the region, setting in motion a process that would lead to its eventual conversion to Islam. This book argues that key to understanding these dramatic religious transformations are ordinary religious believers, often called “the simple” in late antique and medieval sources. Largely agrarian and illiterate, these Christians outnumbered Muslims well into the era of the Crusades, and yet they have typically been invisible in our understanding of the Middle East's history. What did it mean for Christian communities to break apart over theological disagreements that most people could not understand? How does our view of the rise of Islam change if we take seriously the fact that Muslims remained a demographic minority for much of the Middle Ages? In addressing these and other questions, the book provides a sweeping reinterpretation of the religious history of the medieval Middle East. The book draws on a wealth of Greek, Syriac, and Arabic sources to recast these conquered lands as largely Christian ones whose growing Muslim populations are properly understood as converting away from and in competition with the non-Muslim communities around them.
