Repositioning the Sea on the Great Altar of Pergamon
The Telephos frieze of the Great Altar of Pergamon contains a rare testimony of boat construction in the Hellenistic period, portraying specialized tools and working practices in an ancient boatyard. The sculpture documents the building of a small boat, offering rare insight into ancient boatbuilding. The vessel of Auge, mother of the Trojan hero Telephos, is a symmetrical skiff with two rounded ends resembling a coffin, a typology barely evidenc…

R ena N. L auer . Colonial Justice and the Jews of Venetian Crete
On March 29, 1516, the Venetian Senate ordered all Jews residing in the city to move behind the gates of the Ghetto Nuovo. The mandate stipulated that they would be watched by Christian guards twenty-four hours a day and restricted by a nighttime curfew. Jews were free to traverse Venice’s streets, squares, and canals during the daytime hours, but they were compelled to return to their segregated space at sunset. The word “ghetto” has its origin …
The Conversion of Iberia's Bells
In 997 the bells of Santiago de Compostela converted to Islam. Al-Mansur, de facto ruler of al-Andalus, destroyed the Christian shrine of Santiago de Compostela and carried off its bells to Cordoba. He then transformed the bells into lamps, hanging them in the Great Mosque. This conversion story (and the bells’ subsequent return to Santiago in 1236) reverberates in the historical record through its numerous retellings in Arabic, Latin, and Spanis…

Exploring Moral Distress for Hospital Social Workers
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the concept of moral distress in hospital social work. Moral distress evolves from an ethical dilemma, wherein an individual is unable to implement a course of action perceived to be morally right. Moral distress is an integrity compromising experience, resulting in conflict between one’s personal, professional and organisational values. To our knowledge, no research has been conducted exploring the manif…
The Muslims of medieval Italy
Alex Metcalfe's recent publication offers a remarkable introduction to the history of the Muslim settlement in medieval Italy, deftly circumventing the traditional divides along Latin dynastic line
Katherine Aron-Beller. Jews on Trial
In William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Jessica presents a story of conversion founded on essentialist claims of race and gender. Jessica, daughter of the Jewish moneylender Shylock, steals away under the cover of night to join her Christian lover Lorenzo. Before her departure into Christian society, she exposes an inner filial conflict: “Alack, what heinous sin is it in me/To be ashamed to be my father's child./But though I am a daughte…

Piero della Francesca
Piero della Francesca, one of the greatest painters of the fifteenth century, was also an accomplished mathematician. This book, the first combined study of Piero's work as a mathematician and as a painter, explores the connections between these two activities and thus enhances our understanding of both his paintings and his writings. J. V. Field begins by describing Piero's education, family background, and training as a painter. The book then e…
From Filippo Lippi to Piero della Francesca
In this fascinating book, Fra Carnivale - heretofore a mysterious, quasi-legendary figure - emerges as a well-defined and pivotal artist in Renaissance Florence. In presenting their case, the authors take the reader from the workshop of Filippo Lippi in Florence to Urbino, capital of Ferderico da Montefeltro's duchy in the region of the Marches. It was a road most memorably traveled by Piero della Francesca, who worked in Florence in 1439 and bec…

Reframing Rembrandt
Painting and the Politics of Persecution
According to modern historical literature, Marquis Francesco II Gonzaga of Mantua (1484–1519) tolerated and protected his Jewish subjects. Francesco permitted Jewish moneylenders to carry arms to defend themselves from Christian attack, and absolved the Jews from wearing the compulsory ‘rsquo;Jewish badge’. This paper explores the politics of tolerance in Quattrocento Mantua through an analysis of two fifteenth‐century Mantuan altarpieces associa…
