Inhabitants spoke Latin, Greek, and various vernaculars, and their houses of worship served sizable congregations of Jews as well as Roman-rite and Orthodox Christians. Yet the Salentines of this period laid claim to a definable local identity that transcended linguistic and religious boundaries. The evidence of their collective culture is embedded in the traces they left behind: wall paintings and inscriptions, graffiti, carved ­­tombstone decorations, belt fittings from graves, and other artifacts reveal a wide range of religious, civic, and domestic practices that helped inhabitants construct and maintain personal, group, and regional identities. The Medieval Salento allows the reader to explore the visual and material culture of a people using a database of over three hundred texts and images, indexed by site. Linda Safran draws from art history, archaeology, anthropology, and ethnohistory to reconstruct medieval Salentine customs of naming, language, appearance, and status. She pays particular attention to Jewish and nonelite residents, whose lives in southern Italy have historically received little scholarly attention. This extraordinarily detailed visual analysis reveals how ethnic and religious identities can remain distinct even as they mingle to become a regional culture.Middle Ages series.Visual communicationItalySalentina PeninsulaHistoryTo 1500Material cultureItalySalentina PeninsulaHistoryTo 1500Arts and societyItalySalentina PeninsulaHistoryTo 1500EthnicityItalySalentina PeninsulaHistoryTo 1500Visual communication in artMaterial culture in artGroup identity in artEthnicity in artSalentina Peninsula (Italy)Social life and customsHistory.Medieval and Renaissance Studies.Visual communicationHistoryMaterial cultureHistoryArts and societyHistoryEthnicityHistoryVisual communication in art.Material culture in art.Group identity in art.Ethnicity in art.306.4/60945753Safran Linda479982MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789300003321The medieval Salento3831156UNINA
