The Decline of the Aristocracy in Eleventh and Twelfth Century Sardinia

By Robert J. Rowland, Jr.

Quaderni D’Italianistica, Vol 4:2 (1983)

Introduction: Beginning in the eleventh century, Pisa and Genoa — both as communes and in the persons of individual Pisans and Genovese, — followed by Catalans and Aragonese, exhibited an increasing, and increasingly covetous, interest in Sardinia and (especially) its resources; and, already during the twelfth century, the island had fallen largely under continental domination.  That the story developed as it did should evoke no puzzlement: Pisa, Genoa, and the Iberians had more powerful navies, more fully developed economies, and when necessary, stronger armies; Sardinia’s rulers, moreover, helped bring about their own eclipse, granting concessions and aligning themselves, to their own disadvantage, with one or another of the competing powers. Nor were papal policies without importance.

Decisive as these factors were, however, they were external; what seems to have been generally overlooked is that there were coeval internal factors at work which functioned further to weaken Sardinia during this most crucial period of its history. The closed, now anachronistic, manorial economy is certainly one internal weakening factor; but it has often been cited. What I wish to suggest here is that the combination of three factors — 1) alienation of land and other property by the aristocracy, particularly to the church; 2) Sardinian partible inheritance practices; and 3) the church’s imposition of its prohibition of consanguineous marriages — accelerated, if it did not cause, the decline of the indigenous aristocracy, thereby facilitating the victory of the continentals.

Ethnicity, Identity, and Difference: The Origins of Lay People in the Carolingian
Empire

Session: Carolingian Studies: Secular Culture II

By Helmut Reimitz, Princeton University

This paper discussed Frankish collective identity in the early Middle Ages.

The Carolingian period was an important period for the process of promoting Frankish names and identity. Prayers for the kingdom were said for the king, and the Frankish army. Literature of this time celebrated not just the King but the Frankish community. The concept of “the Franks” was not just about a specific group but related more to a group that agreed to Frankish rule. Ethnic categories re-emerged during the 830’s.


Approaching the Debate on the Subject of Metaphysics from the Later Middle Ages to the Early Modern Age: The Ancient and Medieval Antecedents

By Marco Forlivesi

Medieovo, Vol.34 (2009)

Introduction: The remote origin of the debate on the nature of metaphysics and of its subject/object lies in some texts Aristotle devotes to the nature of scientific knowledge and to the characterizations of the first philosophy.

In the Posterior Analytics the Stagirite firstly provides a definition of scientific knowledge as well as an incorporation of knowledge through demonstration into the latter. We have scientific knowledge of a thing, writes Aristotle, whenever we know both the causes of this thing as being its causes, and we know that this thing cannot be other than it is. Knowing a thing through demonstration, he continues, is the same as having scientific knowledge of that thing.

Further, he lays down some theses about the features of scientific knowledge itself that will be the focus of attention and debate among authors from the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century.

In the first book of the Posterior Analytics one reads that all teaching, and, in general, all intellectual learning requires preexisting knowledge; in particular, of some things it is necessary to know already that they are, of some others it is necessary to know already what the thing said is, and of others it is necessary to know already both that they are and what the thing said is. Now, scientific demonstrative knowledge must depend on things (in the sense of ‘things said’ as well, hence of ‘propositions’) that are true, primitive, immediate, better known than the conclusions, and prior to and explanatory of the latter. Here it should be noted, specifies Aristotle, that things may be prior and better known in two senses: either in the sense of prior by nature or in the sense of prior in relation to us. Prior and better known in relation to us is what is nearer to perception; prior and better known without qualification is what is farther. The things that are farthest from perception are most universal, the things that are nearest are the particulars, and these two types of things are opposed to each other.
