In Other Words: The Ethics of the Translator in 17th-century al-Andalus. The Perspective of Aḥmad Ibn Qāsim al-Ḥaǧarī al-Andalusī
2015
This study focuses on a particular aspect of the Translation Studies orDirāsāt al-tarǧamah, i.e. the ethics of the translator.Starting from the analysis of concepts like “cultural otherness” or “linguistic hospitality”, theorized by Antoine Berman, Lawrence Venuti and Paul Ricoeur, and concerning the translator’s process of mediating between languages and between cultures, it will be taken into account the specific case of a muslim traveller and interpreter, Aḥmad ibn Qāsim al-Ḥaǧarī al-Andalusī (d. 1051/1641), author of theKitāb Nāṣir al-dīn ʿalà l-qawm al-kāfirīn, who was asked, by a Christian authority (the Archbishop of Granada), to translate some Arabic manuscripts.In such a context, t…
El escamoteo del tercer papel del Patriarca Ribera a favor de la expulsión de los moriscos
2009
D. Juan de Ribera, arzobispo de Valencia, escribió tres memoriales a Felipe III en 1601-1602. En ellos propugnaba la expulsión de los moriscos, aconsejaba que se comenzase por los castellanos y consideraba lícito venderlos como esclavos. Su primer biógrafo, el jesuita P. Francisco Escrivá, ocultó esta última propuesta. En el texto se trata de reconstruir el contenido del «tercer papel» de Ribera, manipulado por Escrivá. D. Juan de Ribera, archbishop of Valencia, wrote three memorials to Philip III in 1601-1602. In them he was supporting the expulsion of the Moriscos, was advising that it should begin by the Castilians and was considering lawfully to sell them as slaves. His first biographer…
Hatte Stefan I. von Serbien eine tochter namens Komnene? Zur aktue llen diskussion über die Chomatenos-akten zu Stefan Nemanjic und Seinem bruder Sava
2013
This contribution examines the article ?Stefan Nemanjic i njegov brat Sava u spisima Dimitrija Homatina? by Vlada Stankovic (2012) critically. On the basis of Chomatenos files (nos. 1, 3, 10, 13 and 86), he tried to obtain new details about in what way and with what results political and ecclesiastical communication between Epiros and Serbia took place in the period 1215-1219/20. In the course of this, as this present study shows, he repeatedly reached rash, questionable or untenable conclusions. Also the question raised by him - with a critical intention - about the name of Stefan Nemanjic?s daughter is now once again discussed and finally decided in such a way as this was already done in …
Unwilling Vows and Judicial Strategies: Sister Anna Maddalena Valdina
2018
In 1640 Anna, daughter of the prince of Valdina, was put into a convent in Palermo along with three sisters. She was seven years old and would remain there until 1699. She first asked her father and then her brother to leave the monastic state to which she was forced for patrimonial reasons and to which she never resigned herself. Her story is inscribed within the phenomenon of the so-called forced monacations, to which the Council of Trent had tried to remedy. On the death of her brother, in 1693, Anna, about sixty years old, asked the archbishop of Palermo to grant the nullity of her religious profession and her return to the lay state. Thus began a very severe judicial dispute that trigg…
Contexto editorial, cultural y socio-político de la edición príncipe de la «Historia de la doncella Teodor» (Toledo: Pedro Hagenbach, 1500-1501)
2021
The material analysis of the only surviving copy of the editio princeps of the Historia de la doncella Teodor allows us to date it back to the incunabula era and to attribute its printing to Pedro Hagenbach’s workshop. The close relationship amongst Hagenbach’s workshop, the reformist project of Archbishop Cisneros, and the interests of the Catholic Monarchs sets an editorial and cultural context that supports the adaptation of Teodor to the printing press. This work perfectly agreed with the thematic and ideological guidelines for the renewal of Christian customs and values. The forceful religious and intellectual imposition of the young and learned slave, turned into a “fijadalgo” in the …
The World of Anglo-Saxon Learning
2007
D uring the Anglo-Saxon period, English schools were among the finest in Europe. From English schools came the great masters whose writings instructed generations, centuries even, of Insular and continental students alike: one has only to think of the works of Aldhelm, Bede and Alcuin, which were copied and studied intensively up to the twelfth century and beyond. This achievement is all the more remarkable when one considers that the Anglo-Saxons were among the first peoples in Europe who were obliged to learn Latin as a foreign language if Christianity - a religion of the book par excellence - was to flourish. Throughout the Anglo-Saxon period, English schools benefited from the instructi…
Pietro Luna: uomo di Chiesa, di potere e arbitro delle sorti familiari
2012
Le vicende familiari e patrimoniali dei Luna nel XV secolo appaiono seguite quasi indirizzate nei momenti decisivi dal presule di famiglia, Pietro, arcivescovo di Messina, secondogenito del conte di Caltabellotta, Antonio Luna, e di Beatrice Cardona. Pietro è il punto di riferimento dei fratelli Carlo e Sigismondo e interviene in più occasioni in loro aiuto, a causa delle difficoltà economiche e delle contese fra i due, acquistando con vendite-prestito i loro beni immobili; gestisce, così, prima indirettamente poi direttamente assumendone il controllo, il patrimonio familiare. Il Luna per un breve periodo è dominus di Sambuca e Bivona e amministratore della contea di Caltabellotta. Impegnat…

‘Gente Borgia’. Un nuevo ejemplo del mecenazgo de los Borja: Primeras inscripciones humanísticas en Valencia
2019
Resumen: Escritura y heráldica se convierten en un lenguaje fundamental al servicio institucional y personal de los Borja, que desde Italia llegará también a su ciudad de origen y a sus señoríos. En Xàtiva y Gandía respectivamente se conservan las primeras inscripciones humanísticas que podemos ubicar en territorio valenciano. En ambos casos se trata de piezas vinculadas a la familia Borja y las dos se encuentran en el ámbito de las colegiatas de estas dos ciudades: en la capilla dedicada a Nuestra Señora de las Fiebres, advocación romana, cuya construcción mandó llevar a cabo en 1497 Francesc de Borja, tesorero pontificio, obispo de Teano, más tarde arzobispo de Cosenza y cardenal nombrado…
Dentro il palazzo dell'arcivescovo. Un inventario palermitano del 1476
2019
Lo studio si propone di fare luce su alcuni aspetti legati alla vita dell’arcivescovado palermitano alla fine del XV secolo attraverso l’analisi dei beni mobili elencati in una fonte inedita che viene integralmente trascritta. Si tratta di un inventario compilato dal notaio Giacomo Randisi nel dicembre 1476, dopo la morte dell’arcivescovo Paolo Visconti, a evitare che i beni fossero sottratti alla Chiesa di Palermo o portati lontano dalla città: l'elenco degli oggetti esistenti nelle due sedi arcivescovili del Palazzo cittadino e in quello dello Scibene, consente di mettere a fuoco il contesto sociale, economico e culturale dell’arcivescovado palermitano e di gettare nuova luce su un monume…
