Memory, Media, and Empire in the Castilian Romances of Antiquity
Understanding the Relationship between Genetic Markers and Skeletal Remains
Human identification techniques have been a leading tool to hold perpetrators accountable, give families closure, and approximate faces on skulls. This project is a pilot study to critically examine three disciplines that fall under the human identification umbrella: forensic anthropology, forensic genetics, and forensic art. Current facial research in genetics focuses on data from living individuals, identifying specific single-nucleotide polymo…
Jewish Poetry and Cultural Coexistence in Late Medieval Spain, by Gregory B. Kaplan
This is an original study that offers a new critical perspective on a canonical and foundational genre of medieval Spanish literature, cuaderna vía poetry. This genre consists of poems written in quatrains of Alexandrine verses (lines of 14 syllables) that use consonantal rhyme. Gregory Kaplan here virtually writes the history of Jewish cuaderna vía poetry in medieval Spain. The book begins with an overview of the genre’s origins, and goes on to …

Iberia On Edge
Iberia On Edge Michelle M. Hamilton In 2009, Michelle Warren, in an analysis of medieval and epic nationalisms, pointed out that “any ‘national’ history is always enmeshed in global networks (real and imagined, economic and fantastical, political and trivial, etc.) that extend recursively into the past” (“Medievalism” 288). In Edging Toward Iberia, Jean Dangler begins to explore some of Iberia’s real and imagined networks, including the non-moder…
El entendimiento con el qual me conoscan
Visión deleytable is a fictional tale based in the Aristotelian philosophical and Neoplatonic mystical beliefs of the Judeo-Arabic tradition of medieval Iberia. This fifteenth-century work of imaginative fiction, a "best-seller" among Iberian readers, tells of the ascent of the active intellect to the celestial spheres and an experience of God. In this narrative, knowledge of the Latin trivium and quadrivium are combined with that of the Arabo-An…
Two Iberian Cases of Intellectual Mysticism
Mystical imagery and belief provided Iberian intellectuals a shared discursive space beyond the political and cultural specificities (including doctrines) that often divided them into discrete faith groups such as Christians, Muslims, and Jews. By the fifteenth century, many texts penned by and related to the religious minorities and their descendants in the peninsula, the conversos and the Moriscos, reflect such mystical imagery and beliefs and …

Hispanism and Sephardic studies
After reviewing inherited discourses that have shaped what we come to think of as Sephardic studies, I address from my perspective within Hispanic studies the ways in which contemporary work in Sephardic studies intersects with work being done in the wider academy (such as translation studies, diaspora studies, and African studies), and speculate on how it might develop in the coming decades. One projected path is a focus on the complexity that h…

Words Sweeter Than Honey
This article focuses on the go-between character, Umm 'Amr, in "Maqāma 9" by the Andalusi writer al-Saraqustī, ibn al-Aštarkūwī (d. 1143). Umm 'Amr is one of the first literary manifestations of a character that continued to gain popularity in the medieval literature of the Iberian Peninsula, culminating in the figure of the old whore, Celestina, protagonist of the medieval Spanish work that bears her name. Elements common to the later Spanish tr…
