Communities,Cultures and Conflict in Southern Italy,from the Byzantines to the Angevins*

When the Normans conquered southern Italy and Sicily during the eleventh century, a significant part of the population were Greek-rite Christians (mainly in southern Apulia, Calabria and north-east Sicily) or, on the island of Sicily, Muslims. To begin with, at least, it was very much in the interests of the new rulers to tolerate these groups, and hence the reputation of the Norman kingdom of Sicily for its diversity and multi-culturalism. But over the next two centuries this consensus slowly dissolved, the position of the Greek and Muslim communities weakened, and ultimately both disappeared. However, while with the Greeks much of the pressure for acculturation and Latinisation was unconscious and unintended, and the decline of the Greek rite and contraction of the Graecophone areas were very slow, the Muslims of Sicily were provoked into revolt at the end of the twelfth century, and had been almost entirely eliminated from the island by 1250. It has usually been assumed that most of the Muslims of Sicily were deported to Frederick II’s military colony at Lucera in the Capitanata. Yet when examined closely, this thesis seems improbable, and what happened to the Sicilian Muslims remains an enigma.     

二十卷本《搜神记》的语料价值

作为“采访近世之事”的著作,《搜神记》（二十卷本）中有很多接近当时口语的成分,保存了晋代当时很多的常用语汇,为后世研究魏晋词汇面貌提供了材料;书中大量的新词新义,既可补充现有辞书的不足,又反映出这一时期汉语词汇的真实面貌。这些都说明《搜神记》在中古汉语词汇研究中具有很大的语料价值,我们在研究汉语词汇尤其是中古汉语词汇时应予以足够重视。     

日本中世文化中的禅儒关系及其影响

研究了禅的东传以及新儒学对日本禅发展兴盛所产生的作用,同时分析了禅对于新儒学在日本传播所起的作用,以及禅儒在相互影响过程中对日本中世文化形成所产生的影响.认为禅借助新儒学传入日本,而禅又为新儒学在江户时期成为反映统治阶级意识形态的一门显学奠定了基础.     

中古汉语的描写型存在句

描写型存在句属于汉语的主流型存在句之一，东汉至隋是此类句的大发展时期。行为动词中介存在句和主谓谓语型存在句在语义类型、结构类型方面具有这一时期的时代特色，其演变轨迹恰与学界确认的中古汉语的历史跨度相吻合。对此项断代研究既可为相关的通史研究奠基，亦可为汉语的历史分期提供一个具体的佐证。     

Religion and Popular Rebellion,From the Capuciati to Niklashausen

ABSTRACT

The historiography of pre-modern popular uprisings tends to ascribe a religiose ‘naïveté’ to earlier revolts, placing religion as innately antithetical to popular politics. This article challenges that opposition, and argues that whilst (as Sam Cohn has recently demonstrated) medieval revolts were not by any means all ‘religious' in outlook, leadership or inspiration, those which did involve religious elements can be read more sympathetically and with greater nuance. Focusing particularly on structural similarities between the Drummer of Niklashausen (1476) and the Capuciati (1183), the article argues that longue durée forms of revolt persist, driven by a plebeian reappropriation of certain elements in orthodox religion.     

论西欧中世纪城市对中世纪大学崛起的影响

欧洲中世纪大学是中世纪对人类文化做出的独创性贡献。西欧中世纪复兴城市这块沃土孕育了欧洲中世纪大学的诞生,为大学崛起提供了物质保障、社会条件、大学师生及蓝本等。     

中古佛典与汉语受事主语句的发展——兼谈佛经翻译影响汉语语法的模式

汉语话题—评论式受事主语句在中古时期出现了一种新的类型,即动词后不再用之来回指受事主语。这类受事主语句在汉译佛典中有较多用例,它的产生和发展一方面是汉语自身的因素所致,另一方面,更重要的则是受到佛经原典语OV结构的影响。文章通过梵汉对勘材料证明了这种影响,并在此基础上分析了佛经翻译这种通过书面语言接触而影响汉语语法发展的基本模式。     

异文选择与词义考释——以中古史书为中心

古籍异文具有重要价值,但也为整理、利用古籍设置了障碍。要对纷繁复杂的异文作出正确的选择,准确考明异文所表示的词的含义是一项重要的基础性工作。本文以中古史书异文为例,从考求古词古义、把握新词新义、明了习语常词、明辨词的假借义、分析字形以求词义五个方面对这一问题作了初步的论述。     

Non-Feudal Elements of Medieval England Feudal Society

Medieval European feudal society laid the foundation for the development of modern western society and it is also a historic organic body full of complexity and contradiction. Overall research shows that feudalism didn’t have monopoly on medieval England society; the non-feudal elements coexisted with the feudal elements in one united body and occupied an important place in the social structure.     

论中古大学的科学研究及其特点

西方中古时期是一个宗教文化发达昌盛、科学文化贫弱的历史时期。尽管如此,社会乃至大学科学研究活动仍然还是在进行,并在一些局部或某些方面发展着。中世纪大学是我们今天认定的现代大学之肇始。由此,试图把中古大学分为非“中世纪大学”、中世纪大学和文艺复兴时期大学三段历史时期,就科学研究进行历史考察并找寻其特点。从中古大学科学研究历史的梳理过程中发现,中古大学科学研究的特点主要表现在以下六个方面：研究文化的宗教性,研究对象的文献性,研究内容的广泛性,研究形式的组织性,研究方法的多样性,研究发展的非均衡性。
