- 요약This dissertation analyzes the ways that late medieval illuminated manuscripts from France, Italy, and England visualize the "Sultan of Babylon" as both a historical and fantastical racialized construction. The title encapsulates the vagaries of European Latin Christian racialization, one that describes both the Sultan of Egypt and an imaginary ruler who hails from an ill-defined region under Islamic control. Thematically focusing on the different guises of this constructed enemy as monstrously unconvertable, a wielder of the Nile, and an imposter of Latin Christian authority, the project demonstrates how the "Sultan of Babylon" functioned as a premodern Islamic supervillain in the European Latin Christian imaginary. Despite the diverse provenances, polities, production contexts and displaced temporalities surrounding the primary sources used, their respective elite patrons racialized the Islamic ruler either to better legitimize their own reigns through a crusader past or to serve as propaganda for future incursions. Most importantly, this project attends to the racialization of the "Sultan of Babylon" by developing and employing a "crypto-visual" lens. This methodology deemphasizes the expected markers (such as skin color, costume, accoutrement) in favor of less-expected ones including text-image interaction, topography, masquerade, materiality, and the appropriation/expropriation of iconography.
