Описание:
One of the treasures in the James Ford Bell collection at the University of Minnesota is Henricus Martellus Germanus' copy of Cristoforo Buondelmonti's Description of the Archipelago, the Cyclades, and the Other Islands.
The work was written in Latin in 1420, and Henricus's copy dates from c.1475. Cristoforo Buondelmonti's original book was an account of the Greek islands, illustrated with maps, beginning at Corfu, then going down the western coast of Greece and into the Aegean Sea. In his version Henricus added maps and text for five new islands. The manuscript is in magnificent shape -- the writing is a clear, legible humanistic script, and the maps that accompany each entry are in vivid color.
Buondelmonti (c.1385-c.1430), a priest and a member of a prominent Florentine family, had begun traveling in the Aegean in 1415, starting on the island of Crete. He had left home on a mission: to find Greek manuscripts for the humanist scholars in Florentine circles, among them Niccol Niccoli. He bought two manuscripts on Crete, but he also found himself captivated by the picturesque and historic islands of the Aegean world, and undertook a lengthy tour of Crete, first sailing around it, and then crossing it from east to west on horseback. He marveled and mourned at the ruins of antiquity, got briefly captured by bandits, and listened to bitter complaints against Venetian rule. He wrote up his adventures and observations and sent them to Niccol .
But this was not to be the end of his travels. Over the next dozen years, he traversed the Greek seas, going from island to island, writing up a descriptive text about each, and drawing a map. The first version of the manuscript was dedicated to the wealthy bibliophile, Cardinal Giordano Orsini, who was also interested in maps, and had an early copy of Ptolemy made for his library.
Evelyn Edson presents a facsimile edition of the entire manuscript, with introduction, complete transcription, English translation, notes, bibliography and index.
In cooperation with the James Ford Bell Collection, Italica Press presents this book in full color at 8.5 x 11 inches, nearly the full size of the Bell manuscript.

Описание: An examination of the changing nature of crusade and its participants in the late medieval Mediterranean.
Описание: The struggle between Islam and the Crusaders comprised a dialogue of cultures on a broad geographic scale and a wide expanse of time, a perennial seesaw of conquest in the West as in the East. Father Burns` pioneering work on Valencia has demonstrated that the inner reality of this sustained confrontation lies as much in the colonial interims as in

Описание: The Great War caught a generation of American soldiers at a turning point in the nation’s history. At the moment of the Republic’s emergence as a key player on the world stage, these were the first Americans to endure mass machine warfare, and the first to come into close contact with foreign peoples and cultures in large numbers. What was it like, Richard S. Faulkner asks, to be one of these foot soldiers at the dawn of the American century? How did the doughboy experience the rigors of training and military life, interact with different cultures, and endure the shock and chaos of combat? The answer can be found in Pershing’s Crusaders, the most comprehensive, and intimate, account ever given of the day-to-day lives and attitudes of the nearly 4.2 million American soldiers mobilized for service in World War I.Pershing’s Crusaders offers a clear, close-up picture of the doughboys in all of their vibrant diversity, shared purpose, and unmistakably American character. It encompasses an array of subjects from the food they ate, the clothes they wore, their view of the Allied and German soldiers and civilians they encountered, their sexual and spiritual lives, their reasons for serving, and how they lived and fought, to what they thought about their service along every step of the way. Faulkner’s vast yet finely detailed portrait draws upon a wealth of sources—thousands of soldiers’ letters and diaries, surveys and memoirs, and a host of period documents and reports generated by various staff agencies of the American Expeditionary Forces. Animated by the voices of soldiers and civilians in the midst of unprecedented events, these primary sources afford an immediacy rarely found in historical records. Pershing’s Crusaders is, finally, a work that uniquely and vividly captures the reality of the American soldier in WWI for all time.

Описание: Despite the enormous literature on the crusades, the Frankish states in the Aegean (set up in the wake of the Fourth Crusade in 1204) have been seriously neglected by modern historians. Yet their history is both compelling in itself - these were the last crusader states to be set up in the eastern Mediterranean and among the last to fall to the Turks - and also valuable for the case study they offer in medieval colonialism. Peter Lock surveys the social, economic, religious and cultural aspects of the region within a broad political framework, and explores the clash of cultures between the Frankish interlopers and their Byzantine subjects. This is a major addition to crusading studies.

It investigates the ways in which a number of emotions and affective displays-primarily fear, anger, and weeping-were understood, represented, and utilised in twelfth- and thirteenth-century western narratives of the crusades.
