The Crueltie of Moyses: Representating the
Sovereign Command in Machiavelli, Spinoza, and Rembrandt
Dr. Graham Hammill will discuss two relatively
contemporary works, Rembrandt's painting Moses with the Tablets of
the Law
(1659), and Spinoza's Theologico-Political Treatise
(published in 1670). These 17th century Dutch versions of
Moses are part of a discourse on Moses that runs throughout early
modern political thought. Each participates in a strain of
Machiavellian political thought that uses Moses as a central figure for
thinking through the dynamics of state, sovereignty, population, and
law.

Dr. Peter Baker will survey the history of the
electronic editing of medieval texts and will discuss current work in
this area. He will introduce the idea of technical
standards and demonstrate the advantages of strict adherence to such
standards via several recent projects. He will also venture
some predictions concerning the future of electronic editing and the
relationship between electronic and printed texts.

MS San Lorenzo 2211 and Song Repertories of Early
Quattrocento Florence
Dr. John Nádas will examine a palimpsest volume-
Manuscript 2211, Campione dei Beni (1504)- discovered in the church of
San Lorenzo in Florence in the early 1980s. This 16th
century volume details the acquisition and the rental of church
properties up to and beyond that date, but also reveals traces of its
original musical function. New digital photographs of the
source offer previously unimaginable high-resolution electronic images
that constitute the virtual recovery of an early 15th century musical
codex and allow for an understanding of its original content, a
sizeable collection of ars nova and early 15th century polyphony.

Dr. Marcia Colish, Yale University
Revaluing Lying in the Twelfth Century
The ninth
commandment of the Decalogue forbids bearing false witness and a
leading church father, Augustine, condemns lying categorically in
several of his works. The modern scholarship on lying in the high
Middle Ages treats the period as an unmitigated age of Augustine, with
his influence strengthening with the new pastoral concern for "sins of
the tongue" that developed starting in the later twelfth century. This
lecture shows that there existed an alternative ancient and patristic
tradition, summed up in Latin by Ambrose of Milan, that justified
lying, regarding it as virtuous in some cases, and that this
alternative tradition appealed to a number of mainstream thinkers in
the twelfth century. The lecture also offers suggestions as to why this
alternative approach proved attractive to those thinkers who adopted
it.

From Rome to the People: Innocent III’s Use of Itineration
Pope
Innocent III (1198–1216), an outstanding leader-servant of the faith,
recognized that he had to out to meet the people. In some parts of the
Patrimony of St. Peter, as many as sixty years had elapsed since a pope
had been seen there. Innocent changed all that—deliberately journeying
according to the seasons from Rome to the country and back again,
choosing when and where he stayed. But he did not travel alone!
Accompanied by a great ‘caravan’ of curial officials and camp
followers, Rome was recreated wherever Innocent happened to be in the
Patrimony. Enormous numbers of pilgrims and petitioners joined the
papal caravan, like Robert, whose crime was cannibalism in time of
famine, or Lumberd, responsible for mutilating a Scottish bishop. They
came in person to the itinerant Curia to receive absolution for their
sins or to resolve some long-standing dispute. Innocent’s itineration
greatly encouraged the people’s commitment to the faith through
sermons, liturgical processions and rich ceremonial, while the economic
benefits for
cities thus favored with a visit encouraged the
construction or enlargement of papal palaces across the Patrimony.

Dr. William C. Jordan, Princeton University
Chancellor's Distinguished Lecture Series
Honoring the Weapons of War in the Age of the Crusades
Professor of History and Director of the Medieval Studies program,
William Jordan has been selected as one of the LSU Chancellor's
Distinguished Lectureship Series speakers. He is a leading scholar of
social, political and cultural history of the High Middle Ages and the
recipient of the Haskins Medal from the Medieval Academy of America,
the highest award given to a medievalist. His current research examines
the repertory of ritual acts that bespeak the impassioned relationship
of the weapons of war and religious conviction in the Age of the
Crusades. The conditions under which these rituals became important and
the meanings we can plausibly attach to them are the focus of his
lecture.

Ibn Arabi at the Parting of the Ways in Andalusia
Looked back upon by the Sufis as the “greatest master,” Ibn Arabi (d.
1240) profoundly influenced the development of most of the Islamic
sciences—Koran commentary, Hadith, jurisprudence, theology, philosophy,
and Sufism. In Creative Imagination in the Sufism of Ibn `Arabi
(re-issued as Alone with the Alone), the French philosopher and
Orientalist Henry Corbin describes in some detail Ibn Arabi’s youthful
encounter with the aging philosopher Averroës in the city of Córdoba.
For Corbin, the meeting marks a symbolic parting of the ways between
Islam and the West. A great deal of scholarship on Ibn Arabi has
appeared in the forty years since the publication of Corbin’s book,
some of it critical of his approach, but no one has questioned his
basic insight into the significance of Ibn Arabi’s writings and
career. The lecture will address the key themes of Ibn Arabi’s
thought with the aim of showing how these helped consolidate the
diverging paths of the European and Islamic intellectual traditions.
