Groningen, Nederland Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Voltijd

Fully funded PhD position in Medieval Studies at the Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen (start date: February 2025) in the project “New Approaches to Medieval Travel: Cultural Interactions and Religions of the Fifteenth-Century in Textual and Material Sources”.

New Approaches to Medieval Travel: Cultural Interactions, Identity and Devotion in Textual and Material Sources

In fifteenth-century Europe, one of the most daunting journeys one could undertake was to Jerusalem. Not only was the expedition costly, it was also perilous. Travellers faced threats from pirates, muggers, dangerous animals and the rapidly expanding Ottoman Empire. Fifteenth-century Europe was fascinated by those brave enough to face the trip and audiences eagerly read of their experiences. Despite this fascination, we have little surviving evidence of those that undertook the pilgrimage. The itinerant nature of pilgrims creates an unstable set of records, as travellers were less likely to leave behind documents in one location. Alongside this, the Reformation and world wars were responsible for the largescale destruction of medieval objects and archives. To counter this problem, this project analyses both texts and artefacts, sources that are rarely considered together in academic studies because they require different skills and methods of interpretation. Nevertheless, through an analysis of the texts that pilgrims wrote along with the objects that they acquired, this project reconstructs the travels of medieval pilgrims.

The Castilian Pero Tafur (d. c. 1484), the Englishman William Wey (d. 1476) and Anselm Adornes (d. 1483) from the Low Countries all travelled to Jerusalem in the fifteenth century, recorded their experiences through textual records and objects. Each departed from separate points and took different routes of travel, yet they all framed their narratives around the same points of interest. Their texts are concerned with recounting their experiences of relics and shrines, interactions they had with foreigners, the natural world and religious practices. Whether describing pilgrimage sites they visited, collecting souvenirs or building chapels upon their return home to display their holy objects, these pilgrims present a remarkably similar dual focus on texts and objects as part of the same mode of recording and memorialising their journeys.

This project will seek to conceptualise how texts and objects facilitate the memorialisation of human mobility. In addition, the project investigates how texts and objects reflect perceptions of foreign peoples and, in particular, the increased importance of the Turks and the Ottoman Empire. By investigating this history of travel, we not only stand to gain a greater understanding of the pilgrimage culture of late-medieval Europe, but also discover practical examples of travel that will facilitate future research. Through an investigation of the texts that pilgrims wrote alongside the objects they treasured, this study will engage with increasingly important themes in the humanities relating to mobility, the environment and global perspectives. Our work with manuscripts and artefacts reveals not only how susceptible historical narratives are to disruption, especially when archives are lost or suffer from material decay, but also how literary and art historical analysis can reconstruct narratives thought to be irretrievable.
