Marked Men
This article presents and analyses an exceptional and unused source: lists of the patrolmen and court-servants of the judges of fifteenth-century Perugia. These lists are exceptional because of the wealth of detail they provide on the provenance and physical description of these men, personal information that was written down as a sort of identity record. We describe and explain the nature of the source and use the data for multi-faceted explorat…
Strange Fruits
Killing and Being Killed
A volume of essays arising from a conference held in Mainz in 2015, this collection consists of the editor’s brief introduction and ten studies that reflect upon the question of how medieval fighters recounted their experiences (either as, or to, chroniclers) and in particular how bodily condition and conditioning operated in the medieval theatre of warfare. These discussions reflect Jörg Rogge’s own interest, and distinguished track record, in s…
Italy and Early Medieval Europe
This volume encompasses a comprehensive collection of recent work in medieval Italian history and the archaeology of settlement and exchange by an international cast of contributors, arranged within a broad context of studies on other regions and on major historical transitions in Europe from c .400 to c .1400CE. Taking different approaches, all the contributors reflect on the contribution made to the field of medieval history by Chris Wickham, w…
Mutilation and the Law in Early Medieval Europe and India
Lodare ‘il Wickham’
An appreciation of Chris Wickham’s place among his Italian colleagues in history and archaeology, and work with Riccardo Francovich.
The Medieval and Early Modern Garden in Britain
Medieval and Early Modern Garden in Britain
Flaying in the Pre-Modern World
This handsomely produced book consists of a substantial editor’s introduction, fourteen chapters and an epilogue, most accompanied by illustrative material. Larissa Tracy has a veritable back catalogue on various forms of bodily mutilation, including her monograph Torture and Brutality in Medieval Literature (2012) and her edited volume Castration and Culture in the Middle Ages (2013), both with the same publisher, and her co-edited volumes on de…

Defacing Women
This chapter takes a gendered approach to disfigurement in terms of its disempowering function, but will then examine in detail the minority of documented cases of disfigured women. How do these reports differ from those dealing with men? It becomes clear that a woman’s face is deeply enmeshed with her sexuality, and that the punishments targeted against women’s faces appear to have been different from those meted out to men. Throughout the chapt…
Better Off Dead Than Disfigured’? The Challenges of Facial Injury in the Pre-Modern Past
This paper argues that facial disfigurement has been neglected in the historiography of medieval Europe, and suggests some reasons for this oversight before examining the evidence from legal and narrative texts. One reason for this may be the lack of first-person accounts of being disfigured, preventing historians from accessing the experience of being disfigured. By situating the medieval examples within a wider frame of modern responses to disf…

The Gendered Nose and its Lack
Time magazine’s cover photograph in August 2010 of a noseless Afghan woman beside the emotive strapline, “What happens if we leave Afghanistan,” fuelled debate about the “medieval” practices of the Taliban, whose local commander had instructed her husband to take her nose and ears. Press reports attributed the violence to the Pashtun tradition that a dishonored husband “lost his nose.” This equation of nose-cutting with tradition begs questions n…
Medieval Amalfi and Its Diaspora, 800-1250
Families and the Ties of Kinship
This chapter takes a fresh look at the histories of some of the families within Amalfi who traced their ancestors back to a count, often through lengthy strings of names. The chapter proposes that this mirrored contemporary Muslim naming patterns, and was similarly manipulated, as case studies featuring three families, including the wealthy Comitemauroni, demonstrate. A discussion of the appearance of surnames and the apparent retreat of the comi…
Three in a million
This article examines the public art project One Million Pebbles, which took place in and around Portsmouth, UK, between the mid 1990s and 2010. Conceived and directed by sculptor Pete Codling, the project’s origins, influences and impact are examined from a number of disciplinary perspectives, including history, art and anthropology. An unexpected outcome of the project has been the phenomenon of collecting the individual pebbles that were made,…

Gender, memory and Jewish identity
This article combines recent work on memory in the early and central Middle Ages to read the Scroll of Ahimaaz, a well-known eleventh-century Jewish text from southern Italy. It suggests that previous readings of the text have been shaped by the dominant tradition of intellectual history within Jewish studies, and that Ahimaaz's work has been overlooked for the information it contains about gender and family history. It concludes that whilst the …

The Jew in the Medieval World
Halt! Be Men!’
This article examines the career of Sikelgaita (1040–1090), wife of the Norman conqueror of southern Italy, Robert Guiscard, as a means of understanding the impact of the ‘other’ Norman conquest of the eleventh century. Sikelgaita is unusual in that she has left images in narrative sources both within and well beyond the confines of southern Italy. She is also well documented at a local level. Both types of material combine to reveal her crossing…
Politics and piracy
The history of the duchy of Gaeta in the early twelfth century is ignored by historians of southern Italy, as attention focuses on the activities of the Gaetans' Norman overlords in this period. This paper argues that the political developments in Gaeta in this period deserve further recognition, being significantly different to those in other southern cities. The emergence of a consulate in the city links it with the better-known communal struct…
Promoting Excellence in Undergraduate Education in Ohio
Following nearly twenty years of expansion in higher education to assure extensive access for its citizens, Ohio has recently turned its attention to increasing the quality of educational performance. During the 1983-85 biennium, Governor Celeste and the 115th General Assembly established one of the first statewide programs focused on enhancing quality in undergraduate education in Ohio. Legislation was adopted, with a $3 million appropriation, t…

Family Power in Southern Italy
This 1995 book explores how political power was exerted and family identity expressed in the context of reconstruction of the noble families of the medieval duchies of Gaeta, Amalfi and Naples. Localised forms of power, and the impact of the Norman conquest on southern Italy, are assessed by means of a remarkable collection of charters preserved in the Codex diplomaticus Cajetanus. The duchy of Gaeta, like its neighbours, was ruled as a private f…

The light of my eyes
This article uses charter evidence and narrative and prescriptive sources to examine motherhood in a number of Mediterranean societies between the tenth and twelfth centuries. Issues explored include pregnancy and wetnursing; mothers as educators of their children; the changing role of the mother as the child reached maturity; and abandonment, step-parenting and adoption. The article suggests there may be differences between the Mediterranean and…
