of power was comparative to that of Margaret is Empress Matilda or Maude, who controlled, or attempted to control, parts of England, Normandy and northern Italy at different times. Alio references all, albeit very briefly, and only in a single footnote (fn. 153, p. 432). The plethora of recent (and not so recent) work on medieval female rulers, whether queens regnant, queens consort or queens regent, demands recognition by the author. Nevertheless, Alio is careful to note in her work other women in the Sicilian royal sphere, namely, Roger II’s third wife Beatrice of Rethel and their offspring, Constance. Roger’s posthumous daughter would later marry Frederick Barbarossa’s son, Henry VI Hohenstaufen, ruling jointly with him from 1194 until his death in 1197, and as queen regent for her son Frederick II briefly before she died, a year later. As Alio acknowledges in the introduction, there has been no earlier biography of Margaret of Navarre. In her first footnote, she notes that Sicilian rulers have been largely overlooked due to the bias among historians in the post-unification era toward historical figures of the Italian south. There is a great deal of truth to this (barring perhaps Frederick II, due to his joint German-Sicilian heritage), but nonetheless Alio does not acknowledge the work of Sicilian writers. Case in point is Isidoro La Lumia’s Storia della Sicilia sotto Guglielmo il Buono (Florence, 1867) written in this same critical Risorgimento period. The omission of La Lumia’s highly influential work from the bibliography of Alio’s book is particularly glaring, since he discussed Margaret and her regency at length. Otherwise, the author’s audience remains unclear. This is unfortunate since its subject matter, a queen regent in one of the wealthiest kingdoms of the medieval Mediterranean, certainly warrants more attention. With further editing and an adequate scholarly apparatus, Jacqueline Alio’s book could have been a viable choice for inclusion in undergraduate curricula focusing on female rulers and patrons in the Middle Ages, a field currently undergoing an important and necessary update and revision.

照顾活着的灵魂：中世纪晚期地中海的情感、医学和忏悔，Naama Cohen-Hanegbi

与玛格丽特相比，玛蒂尔达皇后或莫德皇后在不同时期控制或试图控制英格兰、诺曼底和意大利北部的部分地区。Alio 引用了所有内容，尽管非常简短，并且仅在一个脚注中（fn. 153，p. 432）。最近（而不是最近）关于中世纪女性统治者的大量著作，无论是在位的王后、王后还是摄政王，都需要作者的认可。尽管如此，阿里奥还是小心翼翼地在她的作品中注意到了西西里王室中的其他女性，即罗杰二世的第三任妻子蕾塞尔的比阿特丽斯和他们的后代康斯坦斯。罗杰死后的女儿后来与弗雷德里克·巴巴罗萨的儿子亨利六世·霍亨斯陶芬结婚，从 1194 年与他共同执政直到他于 1197 年去世，并在她儿子弗雷德里克二世去世前短暂担任摄政王，一年后。正如阿里奥在引言中承认的那样，纳瓦拉的玛格丽特没有更早的传记。在她的第一个脚注中，她指出，由于后统一时代的历史学家对意大利南部历史人物的偏见，西西里统治者在很大程度上被忽视了。这有很多道理（也许除了腓特烈二世，因为他的德国和西西里联合遗产），但阿利奥并不承认西西里作家的作品。一个典型的例子是 Isidoro La Lumia 的 Storia della Sicilia sotto Guglielmo il Buono（佛罗伦萨，1867 年），写于同样重要的复兴时期。拉卢米亚在阿里奥的书的参考书目中遗漏了极具影响力的作品，这一点特别引人注目，因为他详细讨论了玛格丽特和她的摄政。否则，作者的听众仍然不清楚。这是不幸的，因为它的主题是中世纪地中海最富有的王国之一的摄政王，当然值得更多关注。通过进一步的编辑和适当的学术机构，杰奎琳·阿利奥的书本可以成为将中世纪女性统治者和赞助人纳入本科课程的可行选择，该领域目前正在经历重要且必要的更新和修订。
