Brittany to Auxerre: Networks of Knowledge along the Loire and Beyond : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne <p> Christianity dominates the intellectual and literary culture of the early medieval Latin West, and central to this culture are the biblical commentaries, glosses, and glossaries that facilitated the study and interpretation of scripture. Long dismissed as mere patchworks of patristic sources, these works, both anonymous and attributed, are now recognised as creative and innovative contributions to an interconnected tradition of scholarship — and as invaluable witnesses to the intellectual activity of their times and places of production. This project will investigate the networks of knowledge that connected the major religious and intellectual centres of ninth- and tenth-century Francia, with a particular focus on the Loire and Burgundy regions, home to celebrated houses such as Fleury, Auxerre, Tours, Orléans, and Reims. </p> <p> The successful candidate will take as their starting point the <em>Glossae Floriacenses (currently being edited by the primary supervisor),</em> attested at Fleury and Reims and containing Old Breton and Old English glosses. This work provides compelling early evidence of the regional connections under investigation. The candidate will focus on Genesis as a biblical book that attracted an especially substantial and varied corpus of commentary and glosses, thus making it an ideal case study for identifying textual relationships and moments of creative intervention. In addition to this compilation, the project will survey a wide range of published, in-progress, and as-yet-unstudied exegetical compilations to trace the transmission, adaptation, and innovation of material across this geographically and intellectually rich landscape. </p> <p> The candidates should have a strong knowledge of Latin, and knowledge of palaeography, medieval textual culture, and textual transmission would be an advantage. </p> <p> <strong>Notes to interested applicant</strong>: please attach a statement of interest to your CV document when submitting your Expression of Interest. </p>

Sad news! 😢

One of Jesus' more underwhelming miracles reported in The Week magazine...

The Greek is ambiguous and means both 'understands' and 'overcomes' - so 'masters' does the trick perfectly in modern English

VERY excited to see this out- truly interdisciplinary research bringing together numismatist/ historian, archaeologist/ archival detective, wood & leather specialists and tireless researcher to fully examine a 9C coin hoard and its containers discovered 150 years ago ugp.rug.nl/Palaeohistor...

Fantastic! The find and the article

Two portraits of Charlemagne - both propaganda in their own way. I prefer the one on the left (813-14) to that on the right (1882), now in front of Notre Dame. Both images my own.

When you go to Paris it's good to bring back souvenirs

Maybe on this occasion they should have used an AI translator? 😂

And here's the one from Hedeby - in the Haithabu Museum. Picture mine

Oh no! As a cleric trying to write history I am clearly doomed! 😳 (or damned) 😂

I just watched a fascinating PBS series on Pirates (by the same team as Vikings rise and fall) - Neil Price was spot on! And replace (Vikings by Elizabethan sailors!)

Struggling with this book title - according to my definition, there were no Cistercians in the early middle ages!

It's just gone off to the editors who will send it for peer review (you know the drill!)

Yes but isn't there a danger they will make up images they think you'd like to see? 😉

You say Radbod, I say Redbad, let's call the whole thing off...

$42 for a .pdf unfortunately!

For #FindsFriday - are these the earliest Danish coins? My research over recent months has focused on these imitations of Charlemagne's Dorestad coinage, with find distribution pointing to production in Hedeby, between 800 and 810. This is a single find from Cologne: Thomas Höltken, RGM, Köln
