With the rise of global history and art history, there is an ever-more intense interest in the Mongol period as a historiographical watershed. The so-called Pax Mongolica lasted less than two hundred years, but both the size and the scope of the Mongol empire were unprecedented. At its fullest extent, the Mongol states claimed territories from Hungary to Korea, and they reconfigured the basic zones of Afro-Eurasian trade and contact.
The German Historical Institutes in London and Washington, D.C., are pleased to announce the eleventh Medieval History Seminar, to be held in London from October 10 to 12, 2019. The seminar is designed to bring together Ph.D. candidates and recent Ph.D. recipients (2018) in medieval history from American, Canadian, British, Irish, and German universities for three days of scholarly discussion and collaboration. They will have the opportunity to present their work to their peers as well as to distinguished scholars from both sides of the Atlantic.
The volume Predicting the Past. Worldwide Medieval Dream Interpretation is planned to be published in Brill’s series Reading Medieval Sources and aims to give a high-level survey and analysis of dream-books in the Middles Ages (400-1500 CE), in different parts of the world: Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, and explore their development, dispersal, and typologies. We also intend to investigate issues such as production, use, and audience according to different disciplinary perspectives (e.g. history, literature, art, and religion).
Please, find description and programme of a one-day symposium to be held in Belfast next 10 November.
