The city of Gabii was one of the main centers of ancient Latium, yet very little of the settlement is known through archaeology. The site has been the focus of only sporadic exploration, and the available evidence for the urban history and development of the city is extremely fragmentary.

This article attempts to revisit Dana Carleton Munro’s seminal article on the Clermont address, in light of the credibility of eye/earwitness accounts, the earliest of which was composed fully five years after the actual event, and after the initial victory of what would become the First Crusade. The article also considers how Pope Urban II’s…[Read more]

Denne artikkelen utforsker multimodalitet som et historisk fenomen ved å sette middelalderens sammensatte tekstkultur i fokus.

In this work, I discuss the management of the initial iconic peritext of
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in a paper edition, a translation, and a
digital facsimile. Writing from the perspective of cognitive narratology, I argue
that the miniature is not a disposable illustration but a framing border, the
(non) reproduction of which in each…[Read more]
