The Medieval Salento by Linda Safran

The Medieval Salento by Linda Safran

The Medieval Salento explores the visual and material culture of people who lived and died in this region between the ninth and fifteenth centuries, showing the ways Jews, Orthodox Christians, and Roman-rite Christians used images, artifacts, and texts in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin to construct both independent and intersecting identities.

"An ambitious and truly interdisciplinary book that covers a particularly vast body of material with exemplary clarity and eruditionLinda Safran provides an enormously rich source to fill in a major lacuna in the scholarship of medieval Italy." (Nino Zchomelidse, Johns Hopkins University) "A richly detailed and illuminating examination of a little-studied region of medieval southern Italy. Safran's interdisciplinary approach pushes the boundaries of identity scholarship by relying in particular on art historical and anthropological methods." (Joanna Drell, University of Richmond)

Linda Safran is a Research Fellow at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, and editor of the journal Gesta.
