Meeting Description: 

On Monday 15 May 2017, the Center for the Historiography of Linguistics of KU
Leuven is organizing an international workshop on Latin language manuals from
Western Christianity, 350 to 750.

During Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, Western European society went
through a number of important transformations. Studies by Banniard, Chin,
Courcelle, Gemeinhardt, Irvine, Kaster, Law, Riché and others have shown the
complex historical developments of cultural education ('Bildung') in the
period concerned. However, many aspects of the textual foundations for this
process remain to be studied in depth. In this respect, the corpus of Latin
language manuals - grammatical, lexicographical and orthographical works -
constitutes a rich but still underexplored source of documentation. The
manuals at issue were composed by authors including Augustine, Cassiodorus,
Isidore, and Bede, who propounded a distinctly Christian education and
lifestyle, while at the same time basing themselves directly or indirectly on
Donatus and the 'pagan' grammatical tradition.
 
With a view to investigating this corpus in a systematic and comprehensive
way, the Center for the Historiography of Linguistics of KU Leuven is
organizing an international workshop on Latin language manuals from Western
Christianity, 350 to 750, to be held in Leuven on Monday 15 May 2017. The
organizing and scientific committee consists of Tim Denecker (FWO Vlaanderen),
Giovanbattista Galdi, Mark Janse (UGent), Gert Partoens, Pierre Swiggers, and
Toon Van Hal (KU Leuven). 
 

Program: 

It is now possible to register for the international workshop “Latin Language
Manuals from Western Christianity (350–750)”, which will take place in Leuven,
on Monday 15 May 2017. The workshop programme (which remains subject to minor
changes), and all practical information can be consulted on the website of the
Center for the Historiography of Linguistics (www.c-h-l.be), under the ‘News’
section. We kindly ask you to register before Monday 8 May. Please do not
hesitate to contact me at Tim.Denecker at kuleuven.be with any further questions.
