  Time in the Middle Ages

  16th annual symposium of the International Medieval Society – Paris

  For its 16^th annual symposium, the International Medieval Society Paris invites scholarly papers on any aspect of time in the Middle Ages. Papers may deal with the experience or exploitation of time, its reckoning or measuring, its inscription, its theorization, or the question of how or why or whether we should demarcate the “Middle Ages.” Papers focusing on historical or cultural material from medieval France or post-Roman Gaul, or on texts written in medieval French or Occitan, are particularly encouraged, but compelling papers on other material will also be considered.

  Vernacular Bible and Religious Reforms

  International Colloquium

  Dans les développements religieux en Europe du nord-ouest, la Bible était souvent instrumentalisée, comme étalon, source de conflit ou tout simplement pour son intérêt propre. Ce fut le cas avec la Devotio Moderna, l’humanisme biblique, la Réformation et la Contre-Réforme catholique. La mise à disposition des Écritures Saintes en langue vernaculaire représente le trait d’union entre ces mouvements de réforme dans leurs rapports respectifs avec la Bible. Bien que la Bible ait influencé de plus en plus en profondeur tous les aspects de la culture et de la société en Europe du nord-ouest, son étude scientifique a mené à la désacralisation du livre dès les dernières décennies du seizième siècle, et s’est ensuite inscrite en Europe dans les tendances de sécularisation. Au moyen des pamphlets notamment, la discussion s’est disséminée sur une plus grande échelle. L'objet de ce colloque est de dégager la signification et l’influence mutuelle des traductions de la Bible en langue vernaculaire et des réformes religieuses.

  Medieval Manuscript Miscellanies: Composition, Authorship, Use

  Case studies on particular medieval manuscript miscellanies written in any language are welcome at the workshop concentrating especially on three aspects: Composition: How do the contents fit together in specific cases? Is there a plan or a reason behind? If so, what does the selection tells about the compiler’s interests? Authorship: To what degree are the miscellany compilers and gatherers authors? Is there a personal touch discernable and interpretable? Use: How were these manuscripts actually used? Can a specific use of a particular miscellany be detected?Please, send a brief (300-400 words) abstract of the proposed 20-minute paper together with information on your affiliation and research interests to Lucie Doležalová at dolezalova@cts.cuni.cz by December 31, 2008.
