Abstract This essay aims at giving an account of some pedagogical and syntactical aspects of Francesco da buti’s (1324–1406) Regule grammaticales, a Latin grammar written in Central Italy in the second half of the 14th century. It occupies an important place in the history of positive grammar, providing an excellent example of Latin teaching in late medieval Italy. In fact, da Buti treatise deals not only with grammar, but also with rhetoric and Ars dictaminis, as was customary in the Italian tradition in the final centuries of the Middle Ages. This article analyzes the sections devoted to nouns and verbs, while also pointing out some pedagogical features, such as the exercises of the thèmata and the use of the vernacular as a tool for learning Latin composition.

The City

It is a commonplace of political history that in the later Middle Ages the city states of north and central Italy were the scene of a conflict in the theory and practice of government between two contrasted systems: republican and despotic (or in contemporary terminology, government ‘a comune’, ‘in liberta’ etc., and government ‘a tiranno’, signoria or principato). The conflict began about the mid-thirteenth century, and in most places, sooner or later, was settled in favour of despotism.

The author deals with the history of the founding myth of Czech Slavs from its oldest recording to the end of the Middle Ages. The legend of the origin of Czechs lived on in three phases of the Middle Ages. Stage one was captured by Cosmas of Prague († 1125) in the oldest nation-state chronicle. Another milestone was the founding legend in the Old Czech Chronicle recorded by so-called Dalimil from the early second decade of the 14th century. The founding myth changed fundamentally in two official chronicles which were written under the authority of Charles IV (1346-1378), the “Bohemian Chronicle” by Giovanni de’ Marignolli of Florence and the other “Bohemian Chronicle” by Přibík Pulkava of Radenín.

Vitus, a native of Sicily, who was martyred during the emperor Diocletian's persecutions, is not well known among Orthodox Christians. However, his feast day, which is celebrated on June 15th, occupies an extremely important place in the minds of the Serbian people, as Vidovdan. At the end of the 19th century, Jovan Vuckovic, a learned priest, concluded that, for the Serbs, the significance of the feast of St. Vitus does not lie in any particular reverence for St. Vitus himself, but in the fact that the Battle of Kosovo took place on his feast day. Nevertheless, there are reliable testimonies that the Serbs did revere this martyr from Sicily, in the Middle Ages. The earliest is to be found in the menologion in the Miroslav Gospel, and St. Vitus is also recorded in hagiographic sources that appeared after the establishment of the autocephalous Serbian Church. We find the most frequent mention of him in the manuscript synaxaria of the so-called First recession of the Menologue of Basil II (from 13th and 14th centuries), and several 14th century menaions contain an akolouthia dedicated to St. Vitus.

This article aims to trace the mobility of scholars and sciences between France and Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland in the 14th and 15th centuries, seen from the perspective of prosopography. These exchanges were concentrated in only three oldest French universities of Montpellier, Orléans and Paris, albeit with significant variations, and in the newly-founded universities north of the Alps in the 14th century, namely those in Prague and Kraków. Mobility was less important and intensive at the end of the Middle Ages because of the policy in favour of establishing national universities. The names of 143 scholars from Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland, who were enrolled in the 14th and 15th centuries in French universities, have been found so far. Several of them played important roles in the history of science in these countries.

Richard II, one of the most puzzling kings of late medieval England, has been the subject of controversy ever since his forced abdication in 1399. He often has been portrayed as a tyrant or, at times, as a madman by historians. Recently the trend is toward a reassessment of Richard's reign free from the biased Whig interpretation of the past. R. H. Jones took a first step in that direction in 1968 with the publication of The Royal Policy of Richard II: Absolutism in the Middle Ages. Jones viewed Richard as a king inclined toward absolutism but lacking the taint of rancorousness or despotism ascribed to him by historians since Stubbs. Subsequently two books, a Festschrift, and several articles have appeared, delineating more aspects of the reign. Since May McKisack's volume in the Oxford History of England series appeared in 1959, the number of works concerning the reign has been steadily growing. The recent publication of Anthony Tuck's Richard II and the English Nobility offers an opportunity to reexamine the place of Richard II in history. The divergence of scholarship since 1959 from the traditional interpretations will be seen as the major constitutional problems of the reign are scrutinized. After first examining the influence of William Shakespeare and William Stubbs in shaping the historiography of the reign a chronological discussion of the period from 1377 to 1399 will follow.

Later, in the texts of music Damadar, Aine Akbari, Raga Vibandh, Sangeet Parijat, Radhagavind Sangeet Saar etc., four types of instruments are also found in the medieval and 19th century texts. It is noteworthy that the mention of veena is found in the above texts, from which it can be said that since ancient times the veena instrument has played an important place in Indian music. The proof of the consistency of singing till the middle ages in India is evident based on the material presented in the texts like Sangeet Ratnakar, Chaturdandi Prakasika, Sangeet Parijat etc. Even after following the vocals, they have maintained their separate independent existence in instrumental playing. This is the reason that the practice of free speech started taking shape in the instruments of the 18th century Vichitra Veena, Rudra Veena, Sur-Bahar, Sursingar, Sitar etc. Later, the sitar defeated all the instruments and gained a prominent position and earned an immense reputation as a soloist playing solo. In these years of travel, not only the ancient form of the sitar instrument has changed, but its speech has also seen substantial changes. विभिन्न वैदिक कालीन संगीत ग्रंथ¨ं यथा ऋग्वेद, सामवेद, षाखायण ब्राह्मण, षतपथ ब्राह्मण आदि के अलावा रामायण, महाभारत से ल्¨कर पुराण परंपरा तथा भरत के नाट््य षाó एवं अभिनव भारती, संगीत रत्नाकर आदि समस्त ग्रंथ¨ं में तंत्र्ाी वाद्य¨ं का वर्णन मिलता है। आगे चलकर संगीत दाम¨दर, आइने अकबरी, राग विब¨ध, संगीत पारिजात, राधाग¨विंद संगीत सार आदि, मध्यकालीन एवं 19वीं षती के ग्रंथ¨ं में भी चार प्रकार के वाद्य¨ं का वर्णन मिलता है। उल्ल्¨खनीय है कि उपर¨क्त ग्रंथ¨ं में वीणा का उल्ल्¨ख पाया जाता है जिससे यह कहा जा सकता है कि प्राचीनकाल से ही वीणा वाद्य का भारतीय संगीत में महत्वपूर्ण स्थान रहा है। भारत वर्ष में मध्य युग तक गायन की संगति का प्रमाण संगीत रत्नाकर, चतुर्दण्डी प्रकाषिका, संगीत पारिजात आदि ग्रंथ¨ं में प्रस्तुत सामग्री के आधार पर स्पष्ट ह¨ जाता है। कंठ का अनुगमन करने के बाद भी वाद्य वादन में अपना अलग स्वतंत्र्ा अस्तित्व भी बनाये रखा है। यही कारण है कि 18वीं षताब्दी की विचित्र्ा वीणा, रुद्र वीणा, सुर-बहार, सुरसिंगार, सितार आदि वाद्य¨ं में स्वतंत्र्ा वादन की प्रथा अपना आकार ल्¨ने लगी। आगे चलकर सभी वाद्य¨ं क¨ पछाड़ते हुए सितार ने एक प्रमुख स्थान प्राप्त किया अ©र एकल वादन में बजाए जाने वाल्¨ वाद्य के रूप में अपार प्रतिष्ठा अर्जित की। इन द¨ स© वषर्¨ं की यात्र्ाा में सितार वाद्य का ना केवल प्राचीन स्वरूप ही बदला वरन उसकी वादन ष्©ली में भी पर्याप्त रूप से परिवर्तन दृष्टिग¨चर ह¨ते हैं।

In the second half of the first millennium CE, the Christian Middle East fractured irreparably into competing churches and Arabs conquered the region, setting in motion a process that would lead to its eventual conversion to Islam. This book argues that key to understanding these dramatic religious transformations are ordinary religious believers, often called “the simple” in late antique and medieval sources. Largely agrarian and illiterate, these Christians outnumbered Muslims well into the era of the Crusades, and yet they have typically been invisible in our understanding of the Middle East's history. What did it mean for Christian communities to break apart over theological disagreements that most people could not understand? How does our view of the rise of Islam change if we take seriously the fact that Muslims remained a demographic minority for much of the Middle Ages? In addressing these and other questions, the book provides a sweeping reinterpretation of the religious history of the medieval Middle East. The book draws on a wealth of Greek, Syriac, and Arabic sources to recast these conquered lands as largely Christian ones whose growing Muslim populations are properly understood as converting away from and in competition with the non-Muslim communities around them.
