Geographies of Philological Knowledge examines the relationship between medievalism and colonialism in the nineteenthcentury Hispanic American context through the striking case of the Creole Andrs Bello (17811865), a Venezuelan grammarian, editor, legal scholar, and politician, and his lifelong philological work on the medieval heroic narrative that would later become Spains national epic, the Poem of the Cid. Nadia R. Altschul combs Bellos study of the poem and finds throughout it evidence of a coloniality of knowledge.Altschul reveals how, during the nineteenth century, the framework for philological scholarship established in and for core European nationsFrance, England, and especially Germanywas exported to Spain and Hispanic America as the proper way of doing medieval studies. She argues that the global designs of European philological scholarship are conspicuous in the domain of disciplinary historiography, especially when examining the local history of a Creole Hispanic American like Bello, who is neither fully European nor fully alien to European culture. Altschul likewise highlights Hispanic Americas intellectual internalization of coloniality and its understanding of itself as an extension of Europe.A timely example of interdisciplinary history, interconnected history, and transnational study, Geographies of Philological Knowledge breaks with previous nationalist and colonialist histories and thus forges a new path for the future of medieval studies.
