Multi-analytical approach for identification of early artificial ultramarine, made by Raimondo di Sangro, in the blue frame on the altar of the Sansevero Chapel Museum in Naples
Identification of a very early production of artificial ultramarine. • Chemical characterization of artificial ultramarine by a powerful multi-technique approach. • Agreement between historical documentation and experimental findings. • Existence of an ultramarine blue created by Raimondo di Sangro recipe. • Innovative methodology of wood decoration with gilding and superimposed pigments. The history of ultramarine, a vivid blue pigment derived f…
Episodes of cannibalism between Christians and Muslims from the eleventh to the thirteenth century. Cases of dehumanization and hyper-humanization
This paper aims at analyzing episodes of cannibalism which are featured in medieval chronicles of military encounters between Christians and Muslims from the eleventh to the early thirteenth century. My intention is to show that cannibalism had a twofold connotation which transcended the mere notion of taboo. On the one hand, anthropophagy represented an emergency solution to which crusaders resorted for the mere sake of survival. Rather than emp…
Carnival in Late Medieval Italian Sermons
This article focuses on two important collections of Quinquagesima sermons from northern Italy. The first one is Jacobus de Voragine’s Sermones de tempore (c. 1270), where one finds one of the earliest detailed descriptions of behaviours which were typical of Carnival, including the condemnation of banquets and overeating. According to Jacobus, they represented dangerous replicas of pagan festivals, traditionally characterized by the excessive co…
Rules for Attending Wedding Banquets in Early Medieval Europe. A Matter of Fun, Excess and Moral Integrity
Banquets played a fundamental social role in early medieval marriages, and both secular and ecclesiastical authorities wished to exert control over them. This was due, among other things, to the enduring success of the consensus theory as opposed to the copula theory of marriage. This paper examines norms which aimed at regulating the attendance of monks, churchmen and laypeople at wedding banquets, and focuses on two main related issues: firstly…
The Fimbulvetr Myth as Medicine against Cultural Amnesia and Hybris
An increasing number of scholars has associated the Fimbulvetr myth with the dust veil event of 536 CE, due to several apparent consistencies between its representations in eddic tradition, contemporary historical accounts, and modern scientific evidence. In this article such consistencies are first summarized, with the aim of enhancing the debate and explaining why recording the dust veil event could have been important to its witnesses and to t…
Wine, bread, and water, between doctrine and alternative. Norms and practical issues concerning the Eucharist and baptism in thirteenth-century Europe
Guillaume Durand’s Rationale divinorum officiorum was a liturgical encyclopedia which soon became the most important work of its kind, and thus represents an invaluable resource for the study of various aspects of liturgy and ritual in late thirteenth-century Europe. This contribution focuses on norms featured in the Rationale regarding two Christian sacraments - the Eucharist and baptism - for the they were held to originate from the same source…
Red lights in the sky, hunger in sight. Aurora borealis and famine between experience and rhetoric in the early Middle Ages
The purpose of the present paper is to analyse the mental and cultural attitudes of early medieval people towards one celestial “unidentified” phenomenon: aurora borealis. Celestial signs were often – but not always - interpreted on the basis of biblical prophecies, as visible words through which God forewarned humanity of future major events like the death of a king, pestilence, or famine. Attention will be mainly focused on the latter aspect, a…
