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. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aVisual communication$zItaly$zSalentina Peninsula$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMaterial culture$zItaly$zSalentina Peninsula$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aArts and society$zItaly$zSalentina Peninsula$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aEthnicity$zItaly$zSalentina Peninsula$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aVisual communication in art 606 $aMaterial culture in art 606 $aGroup identity in art 606 $aEthnicity in art 607 $aSalentina Peninsula (Italy)$xSocial life and customs 610 $aHistory. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 615 0$aVisual communication$xHistory 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aArts and society$xHistory 615 0$aEthnicity$xHistory 615 0$aVisual communication in art. 615 0$aMaterial culture in art. 615 0$aGroup identity in art. 615 0$aEthnicity in art. 676 $a306.4/60945753 700 $aSafran$b Linda$0479982 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820639003321 996 $aThe medieval Salento$94103089 997 $aUNINA
