SUMMARY:Difficult Neighbours? Jews & Christians in Medieval Legal Texts
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, 2 April 2019\n11:00–13:00 Session 1\, chair: Milan Žonca \nNeighbors and Partners in Crime: Evidence of Jewish-Christian Collaboration in Crime from Jewish Legal Sources\nEphraim Shoham-Steiner (Ben Gurion University)\nI will present two cases of theft from legal Jewish sources from the late 10th early eleventh century that show partnership in crime in the neighborly context involving Jews and non-Jews. One is a case of two Jews who fight in a Jewish court over the relationship and profits of non-Jewish thieves who sell them stolen goods and the other is about a Jew who teams up with a local lord to extort money from a renegade Christian cleric (maybe a monk) causing a fellow Jew serious financial damage. \nWenceslas IV’s Jewish Policy in Bohemia\nKajetán Holeček (Prague Centre for Jewish Studies)\nThe paper examines Wenceslas IV’s Jewish policy in Bohemia\, especially in the light of events which occurred in 1385 and 1389. In 1385\, Wenceslas IV annuled Jewish debts in some cities in the Holy Roman Empire and this action was also echoed in Bohemia. During Easter 1389\, there was an attack on the Jewish community in Prague. In both cases\, Jews were arrested in Bohemian cities. What was the meaning of these arrests and what is interpretation of this action in the context of the King’s policy and the policy of his ancestors? Based on the King’s privileges and narrative sources (chronicles etc.)\, I want to analyse Wenceslas’s treatment of the Jews at the end of 14th and the beginning of 15th century in Bohemia. \n13:00–14:30 Lunch break \n14:30–16:30 Session 2\, chair: Daniel Boušek \nDemarcating the Borders of Covenant: Christians in Jewish Legal Codices of 13th Century Ashkenaz\nChana Shacham-Rosby (Ben Gurion University)\nThe high middle ages saw the emergence of legal codices cataloging the details of Jewish practice. One might expect these compositions of Halacha to focus solely on requirements and procedure for living life in accordance to Jewish law. However\, there is a lot of theological and exegetical material included\, as well. In this workshop I would like to explore tangential discussions of Jewish uniqueness and separation from Gentiles imbedded in Halachic instruction. The primary example will be circumcision ceremonies. \nJews and Christians in Some Lesser Known Early Modern Collections of Responsa\nPavel Sládek (Prague Centre for Jewish Studies)\nMedieval responsa\, especially of Ashkenazic origin\, have been for long recognized as an important source for the study of Jewish – Christian relations. For the early modern period\, very little attention has been paid to the responsa from this angle and not even their potential has been examined up to date. In this paper\, several collections of responsa containing material potentially relevant for the study of Jewish – Christian relations will be presented as test-cases before the participants. Do the early modern responsa deserve more attention by scholars interested in the study of Jewish – Christian relations \n16:30–17:00 Tea Break \n17:00–18:00 Session 3\, chair: Milan Žonca \nFamily Ties: Children and Conversion in Late Medieval Ashkenaz\nAhuva Liberles Noiman (Ben Gurion University)\nConversion from the Jewish minority into Christian majority in late medieval German lands had wide implications on family structures: Relationships and family ties were unravelled as the offspring of converts often found themselves torn between religious and social worlds\, when one of the parents was baptized and the other chose to stay loyal to their former religion. In this lecture\, I wish to focus on children who considered conversion from Judaism to Christianity in order to join their baptized parent.\nReligious conversion of children was considered problematic from a legal point of view in both religions: In Judaism\, conversion could not take place in cases when „the mind is not yet fully sharpened“ / )שאין גמירות הדעת Animus contrahendi)\, as in the case of a child. In Christian medieval thought\, child conversion was a well discussed matter\, raising other ethical and practical issues such as natural parental rights on the one hand\, and knowledge that baptizing young souls can save children from errors before they will be educated wrongly\, on the other hand.\nThis paper will address the following questions: What were the decisive factors influencing children who had to choose their own religion? What role did Jewish and Christian authorities play in this scenario? How did gender and age complement the treatment regarding such children? Can we speak of a revised meaning to the legal term “free will” on the threshold of Reformation? \nWednesday\, 3 April 2019\n10:00–12:00 Session 4\, chair: Dita Válová \nAnti-Jewish Rhetoric of Canon Law: Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction and Jews in Medieval Bohemia and Moravia\nDaniel Soukup (Palacký University Olomouc)\nThe presentation will investigate one of the aspects of anti-Jewish violence and rhetoric in the Late Middle Ages (14th-15th centuries). The main interest is based on how the canon law and ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the (Arch) bishopric of Prague shaped the perception of medieval Jewish community in the Czech lands (e. g. clothing regulation\, Jewish-Christian public and private relations\, prohibitions and rights etc.). The basic sources for the discussion are statutes of the episcopal synods (Vienna 1267\, Mainz 1310\, Olomouc 1349)\, especially the Statuta provinicialia Arnesti (1349) named after their collector\, the first Archbishop of Prague\, Ernest of Pardubice. Methodologies developed by a number of eminent historians (Guido Kisch\, František Graus\, Alfred Haverkamp\, Elisheva Baumgarten\, Michael Toch\, Christoph Cluse etc.) in describing the legal status of Jews in medieval Europe and various forms of anti-Jewish discourse are applicable in the present context as well. The presentation will summarize the collection of Statuta provinicialia Arnesti and compare it with the papal canon law\, state legislative as well as Jewish autonomous law (Halakha). \nCooperative Law Enforcement in Medieval Ashkenaz: Christian Authorities in the Service of Jewish Justice\nRachel Furst (LMU Munich)\nRabbinic authorities throughout medieval Europe strictly censured the voluntary use of non-Jewish courts. Jewish community ordinances prohibiting recourse to non-Jewish justice were enacted repeatedly both in Germany and in France (as in Spain and elsewhere). Nevertheless\, Jewish litigants did occasionally sue one another in Christian courts\, and sometimes the rabbis even approved. In my talk\, I will examine one specific context in which the use of the Christian legal system was sanctioned by medieval rabbinic authorities and enacted in practice: for the sake of extraditing recalcitrant Jewish offenders.

SUMMARY:Digital Humanities and the Study of the Past
DESCRIPTION:The guest lecture series Digital Humanities and the Study of the Past (part of the Medieval Social Conflicts and Contrasts project) attempts to bring scholars working in the emerging field of Digital Humanities with the focus on Medieval or Early Modern topics to both local and international audience at the Faculty of Arts\, Charles University\, Prague. We hope to cover a number of a wide field of approaches and angles through presentations of successful digital projects or notable works in progress. \nThe 2017/18 Winter Term is convened by: Ondřej Tichý \nCourse material and student requirements are specified in Moodle\, SIS Code: AAA500153 (local students)\, AAA500153E (Erasmus students) \nProgramme / Syllabus at https://css.ff.cuni.cz/en/lecture-series-medieval-conflicts-and-contrasts/the-digital-methodologies-in-the-study-of-the-past/ \n\n\n4 October: Daniel Bradley\, Molecular Population Genetics Lab\, Trinity College\, Dublin\n\n\n\nBooks\, Bones and Genomes: DNA analysis of parchments and archaeological remains\n\nBy comparing genomes from ancient animals and humans we can uncover new information about the past.  This is a golden age of ancient DNA. Knowledge of those materials which preserve DNA best such as parchments or particularly dense mammalian bones\, coupled with new sequencing technologies\, has enabled us to retrieve whole genomes from the past on a routine basis.  This has allowed us\, for example\, to add a dimension to the material study of ancient manuscripts and to infer the major population transitions in European prehistory\, placing migration firmly back as a central theme in understanding cultural change. \nReferences: \n\nGenomic signals of migration and continuity in Britain before the Anglo-Saxons.

The combined resources equate to approximately 30 billion data records. The aim was to realise the dream that mutliple datasets can be brought together in one place and combined to create new knowledge\, but the process of doing this was challenging due to the nature of the datasets themselves: strange transcriptions; weird data models; and restrictive ownership. In this talk I will explore the difficulties of developing research resources for historical and literary studies that use multiple datasets\, and show some of the computational (and human!) solutions for addressing these problems. Examples will be taken from the following DHI projects: Manuscripts Online\, Connected Histories\, Intoxicants and Early Modernity\, and Digital Panopticon. The talk will also introduce the following technologies and methods for non-experts: data capture\, data modelling\, licensing\, data visualisation\, natural language processing\, and nominal record linkage. \n\n\n\n\n\n18 October: Reading Week (No Lecture)\n\n\n\n\n\n25 October: Marjorie Burghart\, Centre national de la recherche scientifique\, Lyon\n\n\n\nDigital Editions and the TEI standard for DH\nAbstract coming soon…\n\n\n\n\n1 November: Brittany Schorn\, Department of Anglo-Saxon\, Norse and Celtic\, University of Cambridge\n\n\n\nGersum: Identifying Old Norse lexis in the Poetry of the Alliterative Revival\n\nThe study of the rich and diverse Old Norse influence on the medieval English lexicon is very challenging\, not least etymologically: given the genetic proximity of the languages in contact\, it can be extremely difficult to identify which English words really do show input from Old Norse. In recent years there has been intensive etymological and contextual work on the Norse-derived vocabulary of some texts and traditions\, especially before c. 1300 (see esp.

The project analyzes the runic script as a writing system within its historico-cultural context. It especially focuses on phonemic\, graphemic and text-pragmatic aspects\, in particular on investigating the relationship between runic and Latin writing. \nThe doctoral thesis The Reconstruction of the Runic Text on the Ruthwell Cross has grown out of the Eichstätt-Munich research group. It deals with the longest inscription in Old English runes\, which is carved on two panels of the 8th ct. Ruthwell Cross ‒ a Christian stone-cross now located in Dumfries and Galloway\, Scotland. The inscription is comprised of a four stanza poem written in an early Northumbrian dialect. The poem narrates the crucifixion episode from a unique point of view: the cross is the speaker. \nThe thesis attempts to reconstruct the Ruthwell Crucifixion Poem. With one third of the runes illegible\, a restoration of the text proves to be difficult. What is more\, in some instances even the remaining runes have encouraged scholarly debate. For example\, the Old English word rōdi ‘rod’\, referring to Christ’s cross\, shows an unusal i-ending; recently\, the form stemn ‘stem (of a tree)’ has been suggested instead\, considering rōdi a mistake by the carver/designer. The present paper discusses the use of Old English rōd ‘rod; cross’ and gealga ‘gallows; cross’ written on the Ruthwell Cross through a comparative analysis of the runic poem with contemporary religious texts in Latin and Old English. \n\n \nThe Ruthwell Cross\, West Face (Majewski 2012) \n\n\n \nThe Ruthwell Cross\, East Face (Majewski 2012) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n15 November (in Czech): Boris Lehečka\, Institute of Czech Language\, Czech Academy of Sciences\, Prague\n\n\n\nDigital and analog humanities: one or two worlds?\n\nPřednáška představí na příkladu diachronní bohemistiky názory klasických\, „analogových“ lingvistů na možnosti využití digitálních technologií při jejich práci\, a to z pohledu počítačového odborníka\, který se snaží prosazovat moderní technologie v tomto oboru od počátku 21. století.

These ideas will be reflected from the point of view of a computer expert who has been striving to promote modern technologies in this field from the beginning of the 21st Century. The web site Vokabulář webový (Web Vocabulary; http://vokabular.ujc.cas.cz) represents a good example of such a joint effort.

A focus will be on the methodologies applied in order to find answers to the old and fundamental question of what famous people of the past actually wrote. What do we really know about Patrick\, the patron Saint of Ireland? What did the original decrees of early medieval emperors and rulers look like? What did Magister Guillelmus actually teach to his students in the early days of the Parisian university? What is the nature of the ingenious and chimerical work of the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa? How did the virtuous Swiss writer Hermann Burger create his first novel? How did the great German sociologist Niklas Luhmann develop his systems theory in practical terms? \n\n\n\n\n\n29 November: Catherine Richardson\, Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (School of English)\, University of Kent\n\n\n\nEarly modern English domestic interiors – digital methods\n\nThe early modern English household was central to early modern life – the foundational space of social\, economic\, religious and political cultures. It was not\, of course\, just a family matter: it was seen as crucial for the maintenance of early modern social order\, as household heads were responsible for their families\, servants and apprentices. Actions within the household were therefore foundational to the formation of status and gendered identity\, but also had wide political consequences – they mattered greatly in early modern England. The wider project from which this paper comes seeks to understand domestic experience – what it felt like to live in such a household\, and what defined the connections between spaces\, objects and human activity. \nThe paper surveys the digital methods by which we have explored the structuring of domestic experience\, including mobile eye-tracking\, 3D scanning and room reconstruction of various kinds\, and time-lapse photography. It investigates the benefits and frustrations of these methods for addressing such questions as: how were behaviours located within an evolving domestic material environment? How were lifestyles formed day by day\, hour by hour? Finally\, in conclusion\, it aims to imagine what other digital possibilities there might be for exploring and representing domestic experience in the future\, and what questions they may be able to address. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n6 December: Jenny Benham\, School of History\, Archaeology and Religion\, Cardiff University\n\n\n\nEarly English Laws Project\n\nAbstract coming soon… \nhttp://www.earlyenglishlaws.ac.uk/ \n\n\n\n\n\n13 December: Tuomas Heikkilä\, Faculty of Theology\, University of Helsinki\n\n\n\nManuscripts and Computers: Exploring Medieval Textual Traditions (Stemmatology)\n\nPast decades have experienced the rise of new\, innovative methods within the field of textual scholarship.

SUMMARY:Language Contact and the Early Slavs
DESCRIPTION:The workshop addresses one of the most controversial issues in contemporary medieval studies\, which is the extremely fast expansion of the Slavic language(s) across great parts of Europe in the Early Middle Ages. While traditional scenarios assume unity of language\, ethnicity\, and material culture\, leading alternative models emphasize the active role of material culture\, through which ethnic identity was constructed to mobilize linguistically extremely heterogeneous population. The traditionalists explain the spread of the Proto-Slavic language by migrations in the 6th-7th century and associate that with specific material culture and with early mentions of ethnic Slavs in written sources. The alternative hypotheses attribute the same material culture and written references to linguistically and genetically very varied communities and associate the subsequent spread of the Proto-Slavic with its status as an ‘official’ language or ‘koiné’. In other words\, early ethnic Slavs did not speak Proto-Slavic\, no Slavic ‘Urheimat’ did exist\, and Slavic speakers may not have common roots.
