DARI PENGUNGSIAN KE KEJAYAAN: DISKURSUS DINASTI UMAYYAH II DAN DAMPAK TRANSFORMASINYA DI ANDALUSIA PADA ABAD PERTENGAHAN

This article examines the journey of the Umayyad Dynasty II from exile in the Middle East to achieving glory in Andalusia, as well as the transformational impact they had on the region. The Umayyad II dynasty, led by Abd al-Rahman I, succeeded in turning Andalusia into an advanced center of political, economic and cultural power in medieval Europe. Through theoretical and historical analysis, this article explores the factors that supported the progress of Andalusia under the leadership of Umayyah II, using historical methods consisting of heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography. The results of this study can be seen, including visionary leadership, religious tolerance, cross-cultural cooperation, infrastructure development, scientific development, and investment in arts and education. The Umayyad II Dynasty's contribution to Andalusia included political, social and cultural transformation. They succeeded in creating an inclusive environment where Muslims, Christians and Jews could live side by side peacefully, and enriched the intellectual and cultural life of the region. This discourse also provides theoretical insight into political adaptation, social inclusiveness, and cultural investment in creating significant changes in the history of discourse of the Umayyad Dynasty II in Andalusia.

A Two-Way Choice: The Medieval Pipe Organ and the Development of Medieval Church Music

The pipe organ during the medieval period played a significant role in religious ceremonies and worship. During this time, the pipe organ was the primary instrument used in churches and cathedrals across Europe. Organ music of the medieval period was characterized by its solemnity, grandeur, and religious significance. This paper explores the intricate relationship between the medieval pipe organ and the development of church music during the medieval period. It examines the historical background, construction, religious significance, and evolution of the pipe organ alongside medieval church music and music education. This paper discusses the symbiotic connection between the advancement of the pipe organ and the education in medieval church music, highlighting the role of cultural, historical, and socio-political factors in shaping this relationship. Additionally, it explores the significance of the "Codex Faenza," a renowned collection of medieval instrumental works, in understanding the interplay between the pipe organ and medieval religion. Overall, the abstract underscores how the pipe organ served as more than a musical instrument; it acted as a cultural symbol, facilitating identity expression, cultural exploration, religious dissemination, and the display of power in medieval Europe.

The Architecture of Politics and the Politics of Architecture: A Comparative Approach to Parish Church Building and Civic Government in Late-Medieval Europe

AbstractChurch construction was one of the most challenging, and most political, tasks undertaken by medieval cities. Comparing examples from across Europe reveals profound differences, however, in both the architecture of politics and the politics of architecture; that is, how building projects were administered and how their administration shaped their socio-political significance. Although ranging across the continent, this article is centered on construction in two representative cities: Vienna and London. While the former had a small number of churches, all under the direct control of the mayor and council, the latter had over a hundred, each overseen by locally appointed officers. In Vienna, church construction was, thus, an important field of activity for the city government, which oversaw the work and celebrated its own leadership of the project; in London, it lay outside civic control and offered local opportunities for domination by wealthy families. This difference can be found across the continent, separating the large, old cities of England, northern France, Spain, and the Low Countries, which could have numerous churches, from smaller towns and cities both in these places and across the rest of central, northern, and southern Europe, which typically had a single, major parish church and only a few subordinate ones. This article considers the implications of these two contrasting models—centralized and decentralized, civic and parochial, high government and local politics—on how architectural production functioned as a field of political activity and how church building shaped local distributions and articulations of power in medieval Europe.

Clothing the Clergy: Virtue and Power in Medieval Europe, c. 800–1200 by Maureen C. Miller (review)

Clothing the Clergy: Virtue and Power in Medieval Europe, c. 800–1200

In this enjoyable, learned and persuasive book, Maureen C. Miller looks at the clothing of secular clergy in the Latin West, with an emphasis on the centuries between 800 and 1200. The chronological boundaries are flexible at either end and with good reason: most clerical vestments developed in the early church and it was in the decades following the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 that they came to be particularly intensely discussed and interpreted. Miller is concerned with how priests dressed both while officiating and outside of their liturgical functions (‘clerical street-wear’, p. 13). In fact, the distinction between the two is one of her main themes: she charts the rise of a ‘new ornate style’ of liturgical vestments—which ‘[came] into view in the mid-ninth century and [was] ubiquitous throughout Europe by the late eleventh’ (p. 145)—on the one hand and the generalized usage of a simple, long, dark closed cloak for wearing outside of sacral space on the other. This is a distinction that we know from Catholic and high Protestant churches to this day: colourful ornamented, many-layered vestments in services, simple dark clothing elsewhere, albeit with considerable room for variation in either case (think of the joyfully satirized ecclesiastical fashion show in Fellini’s Roma ).

Az egyház mint egykori birtokos a magyar helységnevekben

The Church, a significant power in medieval Europe, has exerted a long-lasting influence on Hungarian place nomenclature. The author argues that ecclesiastical settlement names of the era aptly reflect the changes the Church had implemented in geographical surroundings (by erecting buildings for religious use) and in contemporary proprietary rights (by becoming a landowner) in the country. Based on data collected from a widely acclaimed Hungarian etymological dictionary of toponyms (FNESz.4), the paper describes historical settlement names, several of which are still in use today, referring to the possession of a clergyman or of a religious order with respect to their first appearance, their lexical, morphological and syntactic features, their semantics, their changes, and their cultural and historical importance.

Iconography, Politics, and the Symbolism of Power in Medieval Europe On Not Eating Polish Bread in Vain: Resonance and Conjuncture in the Deeds of the Princes of Poland (1109-1113)

“On Not Eating Polish Bread in Vain: Resonance and Conjuncture in the Deeds of the Princes of Poland (1109-1113)” This article argues that the Deeds of the Princes of Poland, composed between 1109 and 1113 to celebrate the deeds of Boleslaw III (1102-1138) and of his dynasty, belongs to a class of princely histories and genealogies of the twelfth century. The author shows how the text draws on comparable writings and themes from western lands, the homeland of the author, while responding to the more immediate circumstances of a Polish prince mobilizing and fighting both defensively and aggressively. Moreover, the Polish example points with unusual clarity to the factors of dynastic setback and
