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.

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.

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.

Discursive Approach

AbstractRecent research points to a renewed scholarly interest in the West African Middle Ages and the Sahelian imperial tradition. However, in these works only tangential attention is paid to the role of Muslims, and especially to clerical communities. This essay tackles theoretical and historiographical insights on the role of African Muslims in the era of the medieval empires and argues that the study of Islam in this region during the Middle Ages still suffers from undertheorizing. On the contrary, by using a ‘discursive approach’ scholars can unravel access to fascinating aspects of the history of West African Muslims and in particular to the crucial role played by clerical communities, who represented one node of the web of diffused authority which is characteristic of precolonial West African social and political structures.

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.

Abstract This paper offers an overview of the history of the axiom forma dat esse, which was commonly quoted during the Middle Ages to describe formal causality. The first part of the paper studies the origin of this principle, and recalls how the ambiguity of Boethius’s first formulation of it in the De Trinitate was variously interpreted by the members of the School of Chartres. Then, the paper examines the various declensions of the axiom that existed in the late Middle Ages, and shows how its evolution significantly follows the progressive decline of the Aristotelian model of formal causality.

History of Religions in the WestA universal, comparative history of the study of religions is still far frombeing written. Indeed, such a history is even hr from being conceived, becauseits components among the legacies of non-Western scholars have hardly beendiscovered. One such component, perhaps the most significant one, is thecontributions made by Muslim scholars during the Middle Ages to thisdiscipline. What is generally known and what has been documented in thisfield consists entirely of the contribution of Westdm scholars of religion.Even these Western scholars belong to the post-Enlightenment era of Wsternhistory.There is little work dealing with the history of religions which does notclaim the middle of the nineteenth century CE as the beginning of thisdiscipline. This may not be due only to the zeitgeist of the modem Wstthat entails aversion, downgrading, and undermining of everything stemmingfrom the Middie Ages; its justification may also be found in the intellectualpoverty of the Christian West (Muslim Spain excluded) that spans that historicalperiod.Although most works dealing with this field include some incidentalreferences, paragraphs, pages, or short chapters on the contribution of thepast, according to each author’s estimation, all of these studies are categorizedunder one of the two approaches to religion: philosophical or cubic. All ofthe reflective, speculative, philosophical, psychological, historical, andethnological theories of the Greeks about the nature of the gods and goddessesand their origins, about the nature of humanity’s religion, its mison dsttre,and its function in society are described as philosophical quests for truth.It is maintained that the Greeks’ contribution to the study of religion showedtheir openness of mind and their curiosity about other religions and cultures ...
