Book excerpt: La maravilla es un elemento esencial del universo medieval. Las noticias sobre maravillas inundan los relatos de viajes, pero también los tratados geográficos y los libros de caballerías. Solían representarse en ilustraciones fabulosas sobre los objetos prodigiosos y las criaturas extrañas que encontraban los viajeros, por lo que era habitual encontrar esta palabra en el título de sus libros, como le ocurre a los que componen este volumen. Es conocida la idea de que Marco Polo no escribió directamente la narración de su viaje, sino que se lo dictó a un colaborador del que apenas se tienen noticias. Lo cierto es que Marco Polo fue un fino observador de la realidad, que inició su viaje muy joven, cuando la formación académica aún no había moldeado su capacidad de observación, aspecto que aporta a su libro una perspectiva diferente a la de otros viajeros. Mandavila es un narrador inteligente con una idea muy clara de lo que quería escribir. No relata un viaje real, sino que consigue trenzar múltiples fuentes escritas para combinar la geografía y la historia de manera novedosa. Lo que se sabe de Pero Tafur es lo que él mismo cuenta en su obra: en Sevilla es donde transcurre la mayor parte de su vida donde nació a principios del siglo XV. A las órdenes de Juan II tomó parte en las guerras de reconquista y combatió contra los moros en Jaén, circunstancia que aprovechó para emprender su viaje, en 1436, por tierras lejanas y extrañas. Colón nació en Génova, hacia 1450, en una familia de mercaderes, lo que le permitió entrar en contacto con el mar. Vivió muchos años en Portugal y fue esta sociedad atlántica y marinera la que contribuyó a que madurara su idea de alcanzar el fabuloso mundo de Oriente, tantas veces descrito por los viajeros, pero quería hacerlo por una nueva ruta a través del Atlántico: la Historia deja constancia de que los errores de cálculo que cometió marcaron su fama para siempre.

Download or read book Mandeville's Travails written by Francis Tobienne and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical methodology for analyzing travel literature. The subject of travel literature, as well as travel literatures, have not always been regarded with respect or given much critical attention. In order to amend this lack of positive reception, Francis Tobienne Jr. analyzes the late medieval text Mandeville’s Travels, specifically the Cotton MS. This text, though not overly popular currently, was among the most popular pieces of literature for well beyond its fourteenth-century inception in some three hundred manuscripts divided into three groups as well as early printed editions; further, this text offers a way in which to approach other pieces of travel literature. To facilitate this critical process Tobienne proposes a seven-part method: 1. Identify and Define the Problem, 2. Make Observations, 3. Look for Regularities, 4. Wonder Why Regularities Exist, 5. Propose a Hypothesis, 6. Use an Experiment and 7. Have Reproducible Results. Of note, Mandeville’s Travels is both the impetus behind this seven-part method, as well as the object of study. Thus, Tobienne showcases how each element of the seven-part method is at play in the text, even as he argues for the text’s importance within medieval studies. Also included in this examination is the application of this seven-part method to medieval and post-period pieces of literature. The book culminates in an argument for the canonization and importance of Mandeville’s Travels in and beyond medieval studies.

This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travelling is one of the most fascinating phenomena that has inspired writers and scholars from Antiquity to our postmodern age. The father of history, Herodotus, was also a traveller, whose Histories can easily be considered a travel account. The first volume of this book is dedicated to the period starting from Herodotus himself until the end of the Middle Ages with focus on the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic world, and South-Eastern Europe. Research on travellers who connected civilizations; manuscript and literary traditions; musicology; geography; flora and fauna as reflected in travel accounts, are all part of this thought-provoking collected volume dedicated to detailed aspects of voyages and travel accounts up to the end of the sixteenth century. The second volume of this book is dedicated to the period between Early Modernity and today, including modern receptions of travelling in historiography and literature. South-Eastern Europe and Serbia; the Chinese, Ottoman, and British perception of travelling; pilgrimages to the Holy land and other sacred sites; Serbian, Arabic, and English literature; legal history and travelling, and other engaging topics are all part of the second volume dedicated to aspects of voyages and travel accounts up to the contemporary era.

Download or read book Text and Textuality in Early Medieval Iberia written by Graham Barrett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Text and Textuality in Early Medieval Iberia is a study of the functions and conceptions of writing and reading, documentation and archives, and the role of literate authorities in the Christian kingdoms of the northern Iberian Peninsula between the Muslim conquest of 711 and the fall of the Islamic caliphate at Córdoba in 1031. Based on the first complete survey of the over 4,000 surviving Latin charters from the period, it is an essay in the archaeology and biography of text: part one concerns materiality, tracing the lifecycle of charters from initiation and composition to preservation and reuse, while part two addresses connectivity, delineating a network of texts through painstaking identification of more than 2,000 citations of other charters, secular and canon law, the Bible, liturgy, and monastic rules. Few may have been able to read or write, yet the extent of textuality was broad and deep, in the authority conferred upon text and the arrangements made to use it. Via charter and scribe, society and social arrangements came increasingly to be influenced by norms originating from a network of texts. By profiling the intersection and interaction of text with society and culture, Graham Barrett reconstructs textuality, how the authority of the written and the structures to access it framed and constrained actions and cultural norms, and proposes a new model of early medieval reading. As they cited other texts, charters circulated fragments of those texts; we must rethink the relationship of sources and audiences to reflect fragmentary transmission, in a textuality of imperfect knowledge.

Download or read book Reading Columbus written by Margarita Zamora and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Columbus authored over a hundred documents, many of them letters giving testimony on the Discovery to Isabela and Ferdinand. In this first book in English to focus specifically on these writings, Margarita Zamora offers an original analysis of their textual problems and ideological implications. Her comprehensive study takes into account the newly discovered "Libro Copiador," which includes previously unknown letters from Columbus to the Crown. Zamora examines those aspects of the texts that have caused the most anxiety and disagreement among scholars—questions concerning Columbus's destination, the authenticity and authority of the texts attributed to him, Las Casas's editorial role, and Columbus's views on the Indians. In doing so she opens up the vast cultural context of the Discovery. Exploring the ways in which the first images of America as seen through European eyes both represented and helped shape the Discovery, she maps the inception and growth of a discourse that was to dominate the colonizing of the New World. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.
