Publication – Christian Manger, « Councils, Conflicts, Correspondence. Urban Diplomacy in Reval (Tallinn) and Lübeck (c. 1470–1570) »

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the city councils of Hanseatic towns participated lively in the Northern European landscape of diplomacy. Often, it was conflict which lay behind the magistrates’ diplomatic activities. Discord among the members of the Hanse, intercity disputes between individual burghers, and large-scale “international” altercations, all required town councils to engage with actors and institutions beyond the town walls.

‘Councils, conflicts, correspondence’ examines how the magistrates of the Hanseatic towns Lübeck and Reval managed such conflicts which often exceeded the formal limits of their own jurisdiction and authority. Through a comparative study of two towns with markedly different access to political power and networks, this book analyses the scope of diplomatic action available to city councils. By placing the diplomacy of municipal governments in the broader frame of European urban political thought and practice, it shows how magistrates combined a flexible conception of the common good with a pragmatic notion of reciprocity to balance their relations to their own citizenry and overlords, as well as to the Hanse and foreign rulers. Furthermore, this book zooms in on practices of diplomacy and processes of negotiation, uncovering the variety of strategies and tactics employed by the councils and their diplomats in written correspondence as well as face-to-face meetings at regional and Hanseatic diets.

Christian Manger received his PhD-degree from the University of Amsterdam in October 2023. Currently, he works as a postdoctoral researcher in the department of Public Law and Governance at Tilburg University where he studies the role of professionals in late medieval towns. He specializes in the political and legal history of late medieval cities and urban institutions, with a particular interest in conflict management and urban diplomacy.

Publication – « Dal Ducato al Principato. I Longobardi del Sud », éd. Marcello Rotili, Gabriele Archetti, Silvana Rapuan

«La pubblicazione degli atti del convegno di Benevento del 2017 rappresenta un importante esito di indagini che permette di rileggere le dinamiche tra Langobardia meridionale e settentrionale al momento della caduta di Pavia e la trasformazione del ducato beneventano in principato. A raccogliere gli esuli e l’eredità longobarda, infatti, fu il duca Arechi II che re Desiderio aveva imposto alla guida di Benevento e a cui aveva dato in sposa Adelperga, sua figlia. Il matrimonio rafforzava non solo i rapporti politici tra il regno e il ducato, ma portò anche alla ricezione di modelli culturali, esperienze monastiche e dinamiche di governo esemplate su quelle regali. Ciò spiega perché, a pochi anni dalla scomparsa, il ricordo del principe e della consorte fosse quasi leggendario. Quando poi Arechi assunse il titolo di principe di tutti i longobardi, rendendosi indipendente nel 774 dal regno finito in mano ai franchi, la sua autorità si estendeva su un territorio molto vasto, comprendente all’incirca la Campania, il Molise, porzioni dell’Abruzzo, alcune roccaforti del Lazio meridionale, la Lucania, parte della Calabria settentrionale e del territorio pugliese fino a Taranto […] La collaborazione dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli l’Orientale, dell’Università degli Studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, dell’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore e del Centro studi longobardi, corroborata dal patrocinio della Regione Campania, della Regione Lombardia, della Fondazione Centro italiano di studi sull’alto medioevo, del Centro europeo di studi normanni e del Cirtam della Federico II di Napoli, ha dato ai lavori un ampio respiro interdisciplinare. Merita semmai di essere rimarcata la feconda sinergia tra Nord e Sud, tra Lombardia e Campania, che rappresenta un esempio virtuoso nel segno di una storia comune. Il corposo volume si articola in quattro sezioni principali: i “longobardi tra Nord e Sud”, la “lingua, gli insediamenti e gli scambi”, gli aspetti “dell’organizzazione sociale e religiosa”, le “forme artistiche e culturali” […] Percorsi storici, territori e identità che nei secoli si sono incrociati formando la storia italiana, come mostra il volume. Averne consapevolezza contribuisce a dare senso all’unità del Paese che, attraverso il passato, compie passi decisivi nel riconoscimento delle sue peculiarità» dalla Prefazione di Aniello Cimitile.

Publication – Heidi C. Gearhart, « Names to Remember. Medieval Artists in Word and Image, ca. 700–1200 »

Since its beginnings, art history has turned on the power of artists’ names. Exhibitions, galleries, and books revolve around them, and artists’ personas continue to captivate audiences. Medieval art, however, has long been cast as an exception—a world thought to lack known makers, where piety eclipsed personality and anonymous craftspeople served God rather than fame.

Names to Remember takes a new and nuanced look at this longstanding paradigm. Focusing on Europe from ca. 700 to ca. 1200, Heidi C. Gearhart uncovers a surprising abundance of names, stories, and images of artists and examines how they functioned within their cultural and material contexts. Drawing on inscriptions, saints’ lives, chronicles, and artworks, she shows that naming an artist was rarely a neutral act: it could invite contemplation, signal virtue, or shape social and spiritual identities.

By revealing how remembrance—and forgetting—helped define artistry itself, Names to Remember reimagines the place of the artist in medieval culture. Gearhart demonstrates how gender, status, and devotion determined whose names endured and whose were lost, offering a new understanding of authorship and artistic value in the Middle Ages. This study will engage art historians, medievalists, and scholars of gender and cultural memory seeking to understand how the very idea of the artist was formed.

Heidi C. Gearhart is Associate Professor of Art History at George Mason University. She is the author of Theophilus and the Theory and Practice of Medieval Art, also published by the Pennsylvania State University Press, which was awarded Honorable Mention for the 2018 International Center of Medieval Art Book Prize.

Publication – « Liber rubeus de l’évêché d’Aire. La découverte d’un “trésor” médiéval disparu depuis la Révolution », éd. François Bordes, Jeanne-Marie Fritz

Retrouvé de manière fortuite en 2002, le “Livre rouge” de l’évêché d’Aire-sur-l’Adour disparu depuis la Révolution est aujourd’hui conservé aux Archives départementales des Landes. Ouvrage précieux par son contenu, il l’est également par la qualité de sa rédaction et de son ornementation. Elaboré vers 1335 sous l’épiscopat de Garsie du Fau, il constitue pour son commanditaire et son administration un outil de gestion et d’administration indispensable, tant dans le domaine spirituel que matériel. Outre plusieurs extraits de synodes et de conciles, il contient notamment le texte du synode de 1299, qui n’était pas connu des érudits ou des chercheurs. Ses quarante actes entre 1141 et 1501 nous éclairent également sur l’organisation du diocèse (pouillé), sur les relations parfois litigieuses, voire violentes, entre l’évêque, les maisons régulières et les seigneurs laïques, notamment dans le cadre de la perception des dîmes ou des patronages.

Appel à contribution – Holy Grail, Batman? Expanding Knowledge of the Grail Legends in Popular Culture

Holy Grail, Batman? Expanding Knowledge of the Grail Legends in Popular Culture (Online)

62nd International Congress on Medieval Studies, Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, MI), Thursday, 13 May, through Saturday, 15 May, 2026

Co-sponsored by Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture

Co-organized by Michael A. Torregrossa, Bristol Community College, and Carl B Sell, University of Pittsburgh

Rationale

The Holy Grail remains a powerful symbol in the post-medieval world; however, while its story continues to feature across popular culture, scholarship tracing its manifestations within mass media remains limited. Previous studies have concentrated predominantly on fiction and film, but the Grail legends extend into many other forms.

Using Richard Barber’s The Holy Grail: Imagination and Belief (2004), James B. Marino’s The Grail Legend in Modern Literature (2004), Juliette Wood’s Eternal Chalice: The Enduring Legend of the Holy Grail (2008) and Holy Grail: History and Legend (2012), and contributions to the collections The Grail: A Casebook (2000), Perceval/Parzival: A Casebook (2002), The Grail, the Quest, and the World of Arthur (2008), and The Holy Grail on Film: Essays on the Cinematic Quest (2015) as starting points, we seek in this session to expand our knowledge of the Grail’s presence in modern media.

Our objective is twofold. Linking past research and present texts, we ask panelists to share information about additional media (such as anime, bandes dessinées, comics, games, genre fiction, manga, memes, picture books, streaming video, and television programming) to help enlarge the corpus of Grail texts. In addition, we hope their presentations will also demonstrate a widening of the chronological and geographical scope of research on modern use of the Grail legends beyond the range of previous scholarship to illustrate the distribution of these stories across time and space, attesting to the prolonged global spread of these stories.

Topics might include representations of the Grail and/or legends about the Grail in any form of modern media, as well as depictions of Grail keepers (such as the Fisher King) and Grail seekers (including Bors, Galahad, Perceval, and Perceval’s sister, in addition to other questors) in similar texts.

We are especially interested in seeing submissions on the following:

  • Arvid Nelson’s Rex Mundi
  • Big Bang Comics’ Galahad and Kid Galahad
  • Colleen Doran’s Chivalry, adapted from the work of Neil Gaiman
  • Colleen Doran’s A Distant Soil
  • Elaine Lee’s Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny
  • Four Knights of the Apocalypse
  • Greg Weisman’s Gargoyles
  • The History Channel’s Knightfall
  • Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese: The Secret Rose
  • Image Comics
  • Jean-Pierre Pécau’s The Secret History
  • Jed MacKay’s Avengers
  • Kieron Gillen’s Once and Future
  • Lloyd Alexander’s The Black Cauldron and the Disney film adaptation
  • Malcolm Guite’s Galahad and the Grail
  • Marvel Comics
  • Matt Wagner’s Mage series
  • Merlin TV series
  • Mike Barr’s Camelot 3000
  • Mike Mignola’s Hellboy
  • Craig Russell’s Parsifal
  • Preacher comics
  • Sailor Moon
  • Stargate franchise
  • Tainted Grail

We are not currently seeking proposals on the Grail in the DC universe, Fate/stay night, Slaine, and vampire/zombie fiction, as well as representations of Galahad in Golden Age comics. (This list will be expanded as more submissions come in.)
