This effort is based on a systematic and cognitive conviction that the investigation problem of investigation does not depend on the purely technical dimension, but rather on a rereading of the Middle Ages concerned by the study, a political reading in the light of indicators capable of explaining the nature of stability, or the transformation / change in the stages that marked the Middle Ages. And if the obsession behind this affair is to circumvent the quadruple or dynastic survey that was implemented out in the survey of the middle Ages. Without taking into account the facts and phenomena supporting the accounting or rejection of this division, then the work is, in essence repose to the rejection of the two previous surveys because of their methodological limitations and shortcomings cognitive. And then think that the medieval age and in the western wing of the Islamic world is not in phase with its historical half, the quadruple European investigation of the differentiation in the mechanisms of measurement and its principles, and latent in the requirements of the same era and its indicators, which allowed the possibility of a political inquiry based on the basis of the foundations of the state And its characteristics, and I intended to distinguish between the sectarian era-tribal and religious, and its evolution towards symbolic "sectarianism" based on symbolic connections, including honor, trust tee ship and jihad, to conclude that this golden age is subject in its nature to three phases which are not necessarily homogeneous, the founding period, and the era of qualitative transformation and the era of turning point and transformation

The Conclusion restates the book’s four key arguments. Firstly, legal exclusion in various related forms is a tactic of power. Secondly, legal exclusion is an enduring phenomenon, alive and well in disturbing new combinations in the twentieth and twenty-first century West. Thirdly, exclusion from law is a shared concern for the literature of outlawry and the literature of espionage, and hence a key theme in a range of writings about the state and its actions from the Middle Ages to the present day. Finally, the role of literature here is often to offer critique: in offering such critique it shares with law a demand for justice.

This chapter situates the book within the development of an increasingly ‘global’ conceptualization of the Middle Ages, and links this conceptualization to a rising desire to reckon with the discipline’s colonialist, nationalist, and racist legacies. Tracing this development’s main stages and debates, the chapter explores the centrality of interconnectedness and cultural exchange as motifs in the study of the global Middle Age. Through negotiating debates in the field of world literature, the chapter argues for the efficacy of the term ‘world medievalism’ rather than ‘global medievalism’, not just because world medievalism shares the inclusive ethical project of world literature, but also because it enables us to formulate medievalism itself as ‘world-disclosing’—a transhistorical encounter that enables the modern subject to apprehend the past ‘world’ opened up in medieval and medievalist texts and objects. This chapter addresses the strengths and drawbacks of viewing non-European spaces through the lens of medievalism.

After the fall of the Carolingian and the Abbasid empires, the Catholic and the Islamic worlds developed into cultural commonwealths rather than political empires. And yet, concepts of universal empire remained a constituting aspect of both. In the post-Carolingian world, both the secular emperor and the pope employed imperial strategies toward regional rulers. This was also the case in the Islamic world, where the Caliphate for centuries remained indispensable for the legitimacy of regional sultanates. It is argued that the higher degree of stability enjoyed by the Christian regional monarchies in the later part of the Middle Ages can be ascribed to differences between regional royal law in Catholic monarchies and universal Shar‘ia law in the Islamic world.

SummaryThis article is an essay by a modern linguist in one aspect of the history of grammar. Grammar was a compulsory subject in the curriculum of the mediaeval university, and the golden age of scholasticism produced a number of interesting theories of grammar; this article is concerned with the theory of one group in particular, i.e. the Modistae, speculative grammarians who were active in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The Modistae wrote their treatises in Latin and drew upon Latin to illustrate their theories. In addition they made of Latin an idealized language, a kind of “second-order-” or metalanguage, and it was from the standpoint of this idealized language that all grammatical speculation and pedagogy were to be carried out. This is an attitude which has persisted up to the present day and one which has considerably influenced the teaching of grammar and foreign languages since the Middle Ages.

In modern society, enmeshed with confrontations involving the individual, military service and the state, historians are often inclined to make comparisons with the distant past which offer relief from the pressures of contemporary history. Regarding military service, the Middle Ages are occasionally suggested as an age when combat was sporadic, when only the small feudal aristocracy encountered a martial obligation, and when the remainder of society could concentrate on the other burdens of life, free of the paraphernalia of war, hot or cold. As with many romantic generalizations concerning the period, the comparative bliss of the medieval non-combatant is open to question. Many would note, however, that the feudal classes did possess a monopoly on warfare for several centuries in parts of Continental Europe, and would tend to place all discussion of military institutions within a feudal context.
