课程名称：布尔戈斯：解密中世纪西班牙的秘密 概述：该高级课程主要集中于两个目标：(1) 评估犹太人、基督徒和穆斯林如何塑造中世纪西班牙的历史；(2) 掌握西班牙古文字学的技能，即识别11至15世纪手稿中的西班牙手写体。课程将重点放在布尔戈斯的中世纪历史，通过75%的精力来发展对加洛林/法国/哥特手写体的实际解读能力。 课程内容深入探讨了卡斯蒂利亚王城布尔戈斯如何影响和被犹太人、基督徒和穆斯林所影响。重点考察西班牙基督教收复（Reconquest）、黑死病以及14世纪的卡斯蒂利亚内战、反犹太迫害、精英忏悔者（犹太皈依基督教者）的出现，以及国王和罗马天主教会在创建天主教西班牙中的作用。通过与布尔戈斯的档案馆和博物馆进行现场访谈，学生可以体验中世纪城市、文物和手稿。尽管课程使用西班牙手稿，但完成课程几乎不需要西班牙语知识。 通过一系列密集的古文字学实践、考试、独立项目和协作努力，学员将获得解读任何中世纪欧洲手写体的卓越技能。为证明古文字学的掌握，学员需(1) 创建一本关于14-15世纪字母、数字和缩写的指导，使用手稿图像，并且(2) 从一部中世纪手稿中进行转录。 课程大纲： 1. 课程介绍、简要历史及13世纪手稿 - 研究布尔戈斯中世纪历史的重要性，并开始对13世纪手稿和古文字学的研究。 2. 收复、博物馆文物、宗教多样性及11-13世纪手稿 - 评估西班牙基督教收复的复杂性，探索“El Cid”及布尔戈斯的犹太和穆斯林社区和相应手稿。 3. 14世纪悲剧、犹太和基督教博物馆文物及持续的11世纪手稿 - 深入探讨14世纪的危机，包括黑死病、 civil war 和反犹太暴力，以及转变为“忏悔者”的新西班牙身份。 4. 西班牙共存的终结、15世纪手稿与SILREST古文字学方法 - 见证在伊莎贝拉女王和费尔南多国王统治下的犹太、基督教和穆斯林共存的结束，同时提高古文字学的专业技能。 5. 解密秘密：14-15世纪的独立和协作项目 - 在本节课程中，学员不仅会掌握古文字学技能，还将以“全球公民学者”的身份参与到转录与布尔戈斯的犹太、基督教和穆斯林生活相关的中世纪手稿的项目中。
Name:Course Introduction, an Abbreviated History, and 13th Century Manuscripts
Description:This week we examine why we should study the history of the medieval city of Burgos – its oversized impact on Spain -- and begin our examination of 13th-century manuscripts and paleography (how to read older forms of handwriting).
Name:Reconquista, Museum Artifacts, Religious Diversity, and 11th-13th Century Manuscripts
Description:This week we evaluate the convoluted Spanish Christian Reconquest (Reconquista) and explore the complicated Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar “El Cid”. We view Christian and Muslim artifacts preserved at the provincial Museo de Burgos, study the Jewish and Muslim communities of the Burgos, and investigate 11th- and 13th- century manuscripts.
Name:14th Century Tragedy, Jewish and Christian Museum Artifacts, and Continuing 11th Century Manuscripts
Description:This week we delve into the Castilian crisis of the 14th-century -- the arrival of the Black Death (Plague), an intensive civil war, and rampant anti-Jewish violence. We explore the creation of a new Spanish identity -- the conversos -- Jewish converts to Christianity. Via virtual field trips, we visit medieval Burgos and return to the Museo de Burgos. We continue our investigation of 11th-century manuscripts, working hard to perfect our paleography skills.
Name:The End of Coexistence in Spain, 15th Century Manuscripts, and the SILREST Paleography Method
Description:This week we witness the end of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim coexistence in medieval Spain with the formation a united Catholic Spain under Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand. To advance our paleographic expertise, we examine 15th-century manuscripts pertain to elites’ lives and the Cathedral of Plasencia. Moreover, we study and practice using the SILReST Paleography Method for deciphering the most challenging manuscripts.
Name:Deciphering Secrets: 14th-15th Century Independent and Collaborative Projects
Description:During this class, not only will you be mastering your paleography skills, but we will also begin our work as Global Citizen Scholars as we, first, work collectively and, second, independently to transcribe a collection of medieval manuscripts pertaining to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim life in Burgos.
This advanced course focuses on two primary goals: (1) appraising how Jews, Christians, and Muslims shaped the history of medieval Spain and (2) mastering the craft of Spanish paleography, the skill of identifying Spanish handwriting in the 11th- through 15th-century manuscripts. Through the lens of the medieval history of Burgos, we dedicate 75% percent of our efforts to developing pragmatic expertise in the interpretation of Carolingian/French/Gothic handwriting. Specifically, the course explores how the royal Castilian city of Burgos influenced, and was influenced by, Jews, Christians, and Muslims. We closely evaluate the Spanish Christian Reconquest, the Plague and the 14th-century Castilian civil war, anti-Jewish pogroms, the emergence of elite conversos (Jewish converts to Christianity), and the role of the king and Roman Catholic Church in the creation of Catholic Spain. Through onsite interviews in archives and museums in Burgos, we experience the medieval city, artifacts, and manuscripts. While we teach using Spanish manuscripts, very little or no knowledge of the Spanish language is necessary to complete the course. Using an intensive array of paleography practices, exams, independent projects, and collaborative efforts, you will garner exceptional skills that you can apply to interpreting any medieval European handwriting. To demonstrate your mastery of paleography you will (1) create a 14th-15th-century alphabet, numeral, and abbreviation guide using manuscript images, and (2) transcribe one selection from a medieval manuscript.
