The Lemma De Predicatoribus In Iacobus De Benevento’S Viridarium Consolationis: An Unexpected Preaching Tract In A Dominican Florilegium, Chris L. Nighman

History Faculty Publications

This article introduces editions of two distinct versions of a short Latin text on preaching that appears in an influential Latin florilegium. While the voice of the compiler is absent or minimal in the other topics covered by this anthology of authoritative quotations, the lemma De predicatoribus contains extensive original lines composed by the florilegist, Iacobus de Benevento (c. 1255/71). Because this florilegium was intended primarily as a resource for preachers to compose sermons, its reception in later texts probably includes some of those original lines authored by Iacobus, unwittingly disseminated in Latin and Romance language sermons and …

Crafting The Image Of Pelayo: Identity And State-Building In Early Medieval Asturian Chronicles, Erica Buchberger

History Faculty Publications

In the late ninth century, a series of chronicles from the Christian kingdom of Asturias staked a claim on Visigothic identity, and thus ancestral legitimacy to rule in Iberia, for Asturias and its kings. Connecting Pelayo, the first king of the Asturian kingdom, to the last Visigothic kings and crafting his image as an ideal Goth and Christian was essential to this process. Informed by scholarship on “borderlands” and boundary-making, this article demonstrates how the chroniclers renegotiated the parameters of Gothic identity to impose the idea of a strict border between legitimate and illegitimate, good Catholic and heretic, and loyalty …

When Hay Was King: Energy History And Economic Nationalism In The Nineteenth-Century United States, Ariel Ron

History Faculty Publications

Hay was a linchpin of the early industrial energy regime. It was the primary fodder for working horses, who became more rather than less important over the 1800s. Though largely ignored by historians, hay was of comparable value to cotton and wheat in the nineteenth-century United States. The crop’s historiographical invisibility is partly due to its relatively informal and decidedly subglobal production and exchange patterns. Whereas cotton and wheat exports passed through customhouses and institutionalized exchanges that carefully recorded trade volumes, hay was almost never exported and often underwent no market transaction at all, instead being used as an intermediate …

"The Veneer Of Civilization Washed Off": Anti-Black Posse-Lynchings In The Twentieth-Century Rural Midwest, Brent M. S. Campney

History Faculty Publications

This study seeks to identify anti-Black posse-lynchings in the Midwest between 1910 and 1930, and to examine the ways in which they were framed by the media for their readers. It posits that these lynchings emerged as the foremost type of anti-Black lynching by the second decade of the twentieth century, casting doubt thereby on the prevailing scholarly assumption that the number of lynchings declined precipitously in these years. Because most of these incidents received little attention at the time and few received significant attention outside of the locality in which they occurred, this essay uses as its primary documentation …

Hemispheric Reconstructions: Post-Emancipation Social Movements And Capitalist Reaction In Colombia And The United States, James E. Sanders

History Faculty Publications

As historians have begun to conceptualize the U.S. Civil War as a global event, so too must they consider Reconstruction as a political process that transcended national boundaries. The United States and Colombia both abolished slavery during civil wars; ex-slaves in both societies struggled for full citizenship and landholding, partially succeeding for a time; in both societies, a harsh reaction ripped full citizenship from the freedpeople and denied their claims to the land. These events, usually studied only as part of a national story in either the United States or Colombia, can also be understood, and perhaps be better understood, …

“A Quem O Quizer Colher”: As Drogas Do Sertão E O Diretório Dos Índios, Grão-Pará, 1757-1798, Barbara A. Sommer

History Faculty Publications

O clima quente, a abundância de terra e água e a vegetação exuberante da vasta bacia do rio Amazonas impressionaram os europeus com uma cornucópia de alimentos, especiarias, fibras, óleos e madeira. Por volta de 1611, ingleses, irlandeses e, depois, holandeses e franceses, negociavam, com os povos nativos do baixo Amazonas, madeiras e urucum, pigmento corporal vermelho-alaranjado que se vendia na Europa como produto tintório, e iniciavam plantações de tabaco e algodão. Enriquecidos pelo comércio asiático de especiarias e tinturas, os portugueses, agora ameaçados por outras nações europeias, se deslocaram para o norte do Brasil e começaram a ocupar a …

Review Of Interrogating The ‘Germanic’: A Category And Its Use In Late Antiquity And The Early Middle Ages, Ed. Matthias Friedrich And James M. Harland, Erica Buchberger

History Faculty Publications

This volume derives from a 2017 conference with the aim of developing, as James Harland and Matthias Friedrich’s introduction states, an ‘interdisciplinary channel of communication’ (p. 5) for determining why the term ‘Germanic’ can be used neutrally in some disciplines but not others. Discussion of ‘Germanic’ has in the past been fraught with vitriol and the stains of nationalism, and popular misuse of the ideas behind it (at Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, for example) makes it all the more imperative that if scholars use the term they should get it right. Friedrich and Harland’s volume re-examines the question of whether …

From A Tabula Rasa To The Governor’S Award For Historic Preservation, Roseann Bacha-Garza, Juan L. Gonzalez, Christopher L. Miller, Russell K. Skowronek

History Faculty Publications

Prior to 2009, South Texas was essentially an archaeological tabula rasa, largely unknown in the academic, public, or grey literature due to its location far from research universities, the state historic preservation office, and cultural resource management firms. Here, we relate how a consortium of anthropologists and archaeologists, biologists, historians, geologists, and geoarchaeologists have embraced a locally focused, place-based STEAM research approach to tell the story of a largely unknown region of the United States and make it accessible to K–17 educators,¹ the public, and scholars with bilingual maps, books, exhibits, films, traveling trunks, and scholarly publications. The efforts …

Documenting Difficult Cases: A Mixed Method Analysis, Thomas Daniel Knight

History Faculty Publications

This Special Issue of Genealogy examines the use of evidence, documentation, and methodology in family history and genealogical studies, and welcomes case studies that examine how to document individuals and relationships. A critical component of scholarly research focusing on the study of particular individuals or groups entails correctly identifying those individuals Historians, genealogists, historical demographers, and scholars in other disciplines sometimes undertake this sort of analysis. Often, research is uncomplicated if the research subject remained in a particular geographical area, or left a clear evidentiary trail, but what happens when historical documents do not clearly identify the research subject? Utilizing …

Gardens, Religion And Clerical By-Employments: The Dual Careers Of Hugh Hall, Priest-Gardener Of The West Midlands, Susan M. Cogan

History Faculty Publications

Hugh Hall was a highly sought-after gardener in late sixteenth century England. He worked in the Midlands, specifically in Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Northamptonshire, and mostly for Catholic families. Hall was a Catholic priest who resigned his parish living after the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, but continued to perform clerical duties such as saying Mass and hearing confession alongside his second vocation as a gardener. Indeed, his esteem as a gardener and, later, surveyor of works was strong enough that he attracted Protestant clients like Lord Burghley and Sir Christopher Hatton despite his adherence to Catholicism. Hall's two vocations shaped his identity: …

Africa’S Tepid Response To Ukraine War Highlights Shortcomings Of U.S. Diplomacy, Julius A. Amin

History Faculty Publications

Three years ago, at the Russia-Africa Summit in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised African leaders that Russo-African relations would be based on respect of territorial and national sovereignty. After the summit, both sides signed military and other agreements, something that would be beneficial to Russia in the future.

A case in point has been Africa’s response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

From Black Studies To Multiculturalism: The Evolution Of The Bolinga Black Cultural Resources Center At Wright State University, 1971-2018, Opolot Okia

History Faculty Publications

With the growth of Black studies departments and programs across the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the field developed with a prominent multidisciplinary focus and a mission to affect meaningful social change. Much of the literature on the Black studies movement has focused on the academic programs and departments established during this formative period. Outside of Ohio State University and Kent State University, little has been published on the development of Black studies in Ohio. Moving beyond academic programs, there is also very little research on Black cultural centers. Compounding this problem, the research on Black …
