Crusader Rhetoric and the Infancy Cycles on Medieval Baptismal Fonts in the Baltic Region
Between History and Memory
The present article is the first of two pieces concerning historiography and memory within the Prussian Branch of the Teutonic Order c. 1500. Its subject is an unpublished text written in Prussia around 1500 and kept in the archives of the Teutonic Order in Berlin (Berlin, GStA PK, XX. HA, OBA, no. 29077). It will provide some possible explanations for the background of the source, its contents, in addition to noting the most interesting elements…
Baltic Crusades and Societal Innovation in Medieval Livonia, 1200–1350
Rustics as instruments of God's wrath. News about the battle of “Posada” in the Ordensland of Prussia
Returning from a four-month tour in America, the Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga (1871–1940) stopped for a few days in Switzerland, on his way home. On May 7, 1930, he gave a lecture in Bern on medieval peasants and their struggle for freedom in the 14 th century. Peasants against feudal armies inspired memories from America. However, Iorga, who was at the time preoccupied with questions of world history and comparative research, did not simply …
How Global was Medieval Prussia? An Analysis of the Barlaam and Josaphat Manuscript of the Teutonic Knights at the Turn of the Fifteenth Century

As a result, we are still left with a wide variety of questions, especially concerning the place of this area in the broader medieval world. This article addresses two of the…
From the East to the West
Following an intense, emotional, and extremely challenging year, it is with great pleasure that we introduce this thematic dossier of Medievalista on the history of the military religious orders. The inspiration for this volume comes from previous talks between Lus Filipe Oliveira and Helen Nicholson, in the summer of 2019, when a series of papers were delivered at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds, England, on the history of the milit…
Did the Teutonic Order create a sacred landscape in thirteenth-century Prussia
This article defines ‘sacred landscape’ as a combination of factors that the two authoritative chroniclers of the crusades in Prussia, Peter of Dusburg and Nicolaus of Jeroschin, present in their texts. These are the intersection of hierophanies (manifestations of the sacred), martyrdom, relic veneration and pilgrimage activities at specific locations over time: connecting them can account for the Teutonic Order’s role in the sacralisation of Pru…
