Nubia, Ethiopia, and the Crusading World, 1095–1402, written by Adam Simmons
Nubian Texts, Nubian Lives
Nubian texts provide valuable insight into Nubian social and economic history. Accounts reveal economic priorities both secular and sacred. Documentary evidence hints at the nature of state centralization and the movement of goods and coins in and out of Nubia. Magic reveals Nubia’s deep-seated hopes and fears. Literature shows innovative theology and Nubia’s sense of its place in world history. Funerary inscriptions record the careers of the eli…
The History of Medieval Nubia
The history of the medieval Nubian state begins as it ends, in a state of decentralization. The core of that state emerges through the unification of Nobadia in the north and Makuria in the center of the Nubian heartland, perhaps at some point in the 7th century. Makuria’s relationship with Alwa to the south is less clear, but some unification seems to have obtained there as well, in the 11th century. The Nubian state’s relationship with the wide…
Documentary evidence and the production of power in medieval Nubia
Documents from Qasr Ibrim in northern Nubia reveal the administrative and legal practices of medieval Africa. The land sales provide direct glimpses into the activity of the eparch of Nobadia, the region’s highest political official, who was active in the region’s private land market.

Idiom and Social Practice in Medieval Nubia
I would like to thank the participants and audience members of the Nilo-Saharan Linguistics Colloquium's Old Nubian Panel, several of whom are thanked by name in references below, for their feedback on my paper.I would also like to thank the draft readers of p.qi 4 (see note 2 below) for their suggestions, several of which improved the readings
Nubia
A region along the Nile river, situated roughly between the first and sixth cataracts of the river.
Irad Malkin. A Small Greek World
Irad Malkin has written an excellent book on archaic Greek colonization, but not in the way he claims. His goal is “to identify the phenomenon of network formation” in Greek colonization (p. 16). He wants “to use network perspectives” to understand the Greek colonial movement (p. 19). Malkin argues that Greek civilization and Greek identity emerged “not in spite of distance but because of it” (p. 5). Thus, “it was not concerted action but diverge…
