The course spans the millennium between the dissolution of the classical Graeco-Roman world of the Mediterranean and the disintegration of the medieval synthesis in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Following a brief survey of the break-up of the Roman Empire into three successor civilizations, Byzantium, Islam, and Latin Christendom, the course will focus on the development of the latter through three broad chronological eras: the early, high, and late Middle Ages. Course Text and Materials: There are a variety of historical, literary, internet, and visual materials assigned for this course. In addition to the required texts, readings from the Internet Medieval Sourcebook will be assigned, and viewing of three medieval movies is also required. Required Texts: Edward Peters

Medieval Sourcebook: Nennius's The History Of The Britons
After this the barbarians became firmly incorporated, and were assisted by domainand copypermitted texts related to medieval and Byzantine history.
http://www.augustana.edu/users/enmcdowell/nenius.htm

Extractions: Nennius was an Eighth century historian who is a major source for tales of King Arthur. [see #56 below]. Unlike the much more careful Bede, Nennius was, as one modern historian writes "unrestrainedly inventive" [ Gerhard Herm, The Celts , [London, 1976], p. 275]. Not all of Nennius can be dismissed as he apparently had access to no-longer available 5th century sources, but neither can he be entirely trusted. Chapter 31. . . . Vortigern [Guorthigirnus] then reigned in Britain. In his time, the natives had cause of dread, not only from the inroads of the Scots and Picts, but also from the Romans, and their apprehensions of Ambrosius. Chapter 36. After the Saxons had continued some time in the island of Thanet, Vortigern promised to supply them with clothing and provision, on condition they would engage to fight against the enemies of his country. But the barbarians having greatly increased in number, the Britons became incapable of fulfilling their engagement; and when the Saxons, according to the promise they had received, claimed a supply of provisions and clothing, the Britons replied, "Your number is increased; your assistance is now unnecessary; you may, therefore, return home, for we can no longer support you;" and hereupon they began to devise means of breaking the peace between them. Chapter 38. Hengist, after this, said to Vortigern, "I will be to you both a father and an adviser; despise not my counsels, and you shall have no reason to fear being conquered by any man or any nation whatever; for the people of my country are strong, warlike, and robust: if you approve, I will send for my son and his brother, both valiant men who at my invitation will fight against the Scots, and you can give them the countries in the north, near the wall called Gual. "The incautious sovereign having assented to this, Octa and Ebusa arrived with forty ships. In these they sailed round the country of the Picts, laid waste the Orkneys, and took possession of many regions, even to the Pictish confines.

What can we know about European culture and society during the 500 or so years from the fall of the Roman Empire until the end of the first Christian millenium? In this course we will explore the emergence of a new, uniquely European world out of the encounter between earlier Roman and Barbarian societies, as well as the relationship between that world and the other great post-Roman civilizations of Islam and Byzantium. We will look at changing economies and social structures, the impact of Christianity, the nature of learning and knowledge, the place of women in society, the role of violence in European culture, and will conclude with a look at "Y 1-K" and apocalyptic thought around the millenium. In addition to familiarizing students with the outline of early medieval history and introducing some of the most important historiographical problems and debates related to the study of this period, the course is also designed to provide students with the opportunity to work with primary sources and to improve their ability to think, read and write critically.

G.W. Bowersock In the 1969 book Civilisation, companion to the BBC television series of the same name, Kenneth Clark had a chapter called "By the Skin of Our Teeth." Its premise was that western civilization was lucky to be alive. The "Dark Ages," as some have called the early Middle Ages, truly had been dark; just barely had the smoldering embers of the west's classical heritage survived to illuminate the world another day. But for the labors of a few monastic scribes, carefully copying the great works, who knows what sort of cultural backwater Europe would be now?

The Oxus was the traditional boundary between civilization and barbarism in Western Asia, between Iran and Turan, and Persian legend, versified in Firdawsi's great epic, the Shah-namah, told of the heroic battles of the Iranians against the Turanian king Afrasi- yab, who was at last hunted down and killed in Azerbaijan. When the Arabs crossed the Oxus after the fall of the Sassanids, they took over the defence of kan against the barbarian nomads and pushed them back beyond the Jaxartes. The Turkish tribes were in political disarray, and were never able to oppose a unified resistance to the Arabs, who carried their advance as far as the Talas river. For nearly three centuries Transoxiana, or as the Arabs called it, Ma Wara al-Nahr, 'that which is beyond the river', was a flourishing land, free from serious nomadic incursions, and cities like Samarkand and Bukhara rose to fame and wealth.

In this class we will focus on the formative centuries of European history between 200 and 1000. During this time the Roman Empire was replaced by several successor states, Christianity became the dominant religion, and economy, society, and culture of Europe changed dramatically. This period presents many challenges, because sources are often scarce and hard to interpret. We will try to reconstruct a balanced picture of life in this period and try to understand its developments and people on their own terms, in their historical and cultural context. Our topics will include the interactions between economy, society, and culture, religious developments, life of men and women, education and learning. This course is designed to give students the knowledge of the main facts and concepts of early medieval history. At the same time the course aims at training students in critical interpretation of various kinds of sources and at further improving their skills of effective oral and written communication. Thus the course is designed to develop and sharpen the skills required by the university's "Principles of Undergraduate Learning. Required Texts Brown, P.

These three-hundred years demonstrate, from Britain all the way to the Adriatic Sea, the shift from Roman order to bloody and lawless disorder. Indeed, while the eras of Republican and Classical Imperial Rome were full of revolts, military difficulties, and economic downturns, it is when studying Rome's last generations that we can fully understand the nostalgia that people of the Middle Ages and Renaissance held for the glorious vision of Rome that died along with Marcus Aurelius In effect, then, Roman history beginning with Constantine, as the historian Bury puts it, is European Medieval history. By Constantine's time, the historical circumstances that were to mark the years up through 600 and beyond were already in evidence: Barbarian tribes were seeping into Britain and Western European lands; Emperors as semi-deified, withdrawn, and absolutist kings; involuntary peasant labor on lands not their own; personal bonds and personal law beginning to replace impersonal law common to large expanses of territory; and, of course, the Catholic Church, which would provide spiritual and moral direction, as well as temporal leadership and material support, during the darkest times of the early Medieval period.
