      #medievalunfreedoms next up: Ilana Ben-Ezra (NYU) on "Between Custom and Law: Raymond of Penaforte's Approach to Master-Servant Relationships between Jews and Christians." Ben-Ezra is...a BA alum!!

      #medievalunfreedoms Penaforte: 13th c Dominican friar / legal authority. Texts: Suma de iure canonico, Summa de paenitentia, Liber Extra, Summa de matrimonio. Ben-Ezra focuses on the first 2, focusing on Raymond's departures from source materials & places he breaks precedent

      #medievalunfreedoms Raymond borrows from the Codex Iustiani but adapts and alters it in interesting ways.

      #medievalunfreedoms Ben-Ezra discusses really interesting legal theories: right now discussing case where Jews own slaves who convert to Christianity (Jews can own non-Christians in Europe).

      #medievalunfreedoms FASCINATING discussion of what Raymond argues about Jewish circumcision of non-Christian slaves who want to convert (slave would be automatically freed bc of 'bodily injury').

          #medievalunfreedoms side-note, Raymond's use of "paganus" to mean Islam is typical of pre-16th century uses of the term. Post-1600 the term gets spliced away from the Abrahamic religions entirely ('four religions' in the world: Xians, Jews, Muslims, pagans)

          #MedievalUnfreedoms Ben-Ezra focuses on the concept of "judaizing" to describe the concerns Xians had abt Islamic slaves (who were seen as imitating Jews via circumcision etc). Basic fear is of Jews (which provide the conceptual framework for discussing slaves of other religions)

          #medievalunfreedoms Ben-Ezra's work fits in a larger conversation, I think (and one I'm really interested in) about eligibility for slavery being determined by religion and the complexities that arose from conversion in these contexts.

          #medievalunfreedoms Speaks in interesting ways to Gerbner's recent work on Quaker conversions of slaves in 17th century Barbados (at the hinge point between religious and racial justifications for slavery)

          #medievalunfreedoms I want to ask Ben-Ezra about the Christian servants of Jews in the Merchant of Venice but I suspect is too off topic so I will not lol
