La Vie Monseigneur Saint Fiacre, one of two medieval French plays featuring the misogynistic horticulturalist, has come down to us in a mildly puzzling form, as a saint play with an interpolated farce.

Las fortalezas son uno de los más prominentes hitos del paisaje bajomedieval gallego. Pambre (Palas de Rei) es una de ellas, envuelta en la fama de ser una de las pocas capaz de resistir el ataque irmandiño. Sus constructores son los Ulloa, uno de los linajes nobles gallegos más distinguidos de los últimos siglos del medievo. La fortaleza de Pam…[Read more]

Yet wealthy global cities like Hamburg continue to present themselves as the gatekeepers of liberal progress and cosmopolitan openness. This article argues that Hamburg’s ur…[Read more]

This study argues for the importance of competitive discourse in placing the study of the ars dictaminis within the cosmopolitan tradition of humanistic Latin literature in the Middle Ages, particularly as it is expressed in the writing of Boncompagno da Signa and Guido Faba at Bologna in the first decades of the thirteenth century.
