The Crusade Against Frederick II
This study argues that contemporary historical works are an unparalleled source for charting the neglected subject of the implementation and impact in northern Italy of the crusade that was launched against Frederick II in 1240; and that a mostly uncritical acceptance of that crusade became a topos in works by laymen as well as clerics across the region. Above all, those works reveal that, while pro-papal factions are a fixture of scholarship on …
When the Emperor Submitted to his Rebellious Subjects
Scholarship associates Emperor Frederick Barbarossa with two momentous but seemingly contrary developments in European history: the Diet of Roncaglia of 1158 is considered a landmark in the conceptualisation and growth of royal authority, but the Peace of Constance with the rebel Lombard League of 1183 is represented as the legal basis for the autonomy of the Italian city republics. This paper highlights the fact that the Peace of Constance also …
Ars Dictaminis
The last few years have seen a flourishing across Europe in studies on the ars dictaminis, the medieval art of letter- and document-writing, but Florian Hartmann’s monograph fruitfully covers a series of key, yet surprisingly quite neglected, aspects of it. Its significance inherently stems from the combination of its chronological and geographical remits. To date, the thirteenth century, generally perceived to be the golden age of the ars dictam…

Reintroducing the emperor and repositioning the city republics in the 'republican' thought of the rhetorician Boncompagno da Signa
This article reconsiders the political thought of Boncompagno da Signa in the light of his overlooked praise for the Holy Roman Emperor and his equally overlooked criticism of the city republics. It argues that, rather than just supporting the city republics, he addressed kingship, backing constitutional monarchy and the rule of law. This is contextualized in the aftermath of the peace of Constance, and similarities with the views of contemporary…
The teaching of rhetoric and the Magna Carta of the Lombard cities
Scholarship has attributed to the Italian teachers of rhetoric of the central Middle Ages a very significant role in the development of political discourse, but their testimony concerning the momentous conflict fought from 1226 to 1250 between the Lombard League, the Papacy and Emperor Frederick II has largely been overlooked. This paper approaches it by focusing on the works of Guido Faba, comparing them with the production of his main colleague…
A Byzantine title in a post-Byzantine world
Examining the relationship between the archbishops of Ravenna and the exarchal title can help to evaluate the nature and use of the Byzantine legacy in the region after the end of Byzantine rule in the middle of the eighth century as well as the position of the archbishops vis-à-vis the Holy Roman and Byzantine empires, the papacy and local powers. This paper discusses the evidence concerning the eighth century, suggesting that it did not refer o…
