Meeting Description:

Circulation des textes sapientiels : similarités, divergences, implication
Résultats du projet et présentation de la plateforme de consultation de la
base de données ALIENTO

The Circulation of Sapiential Texts: Similarities, Divergences, Implications
Results of the Project, Presentation of the ALIENTO Database and its
consultation system 

1) Back to the Sources of Medieval Wisdomː

We shall examine the ancient corpora (Greek and Latin philosophical corpora,
Byzantine compilations, the Syriac corpus, Babylonian texts, religious corpora
– Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Ben Sira, Pirqe Avot, Avot of Rabbi Natan, Loqman…)
with relation to the Brief Sapiential Statements  exchanged in the Iberian
Peninsula during the Middle Ages; the theme of Alexander from the angles of
Alexander’s death, the philosophers’ remarks around his tomb, the
king-philosopher instructed and advised by Aristotle…). 

2) The Modeling of a Common Wisdom through Time and Spaceː

We shall discuss here the intercultural circulation of the brief sapiential
statements from ancient times to the present—transfer of patterns, meanings
and images, transformations, adaptations to the context and the methods of
appropriation, recreation, intercultural transmission… Attention will also be
drawn to the invention of the tradition and to the effacing of the sources
(sapiential corpora of the Renaissance onwards, Erasmus’ Adagia, Juan de Mal
Lara’s Philosophia vulgar…).

3) Medieval Wisdoms and the Circulation of Knowledgeː

We shall examine here the links between wisdom and philosophy, the circulation
of concepts from a type of wisdom or science to another; from one type of text
to another (connections between fables, exempla and maxims essentially, but
also with encyclopaedias…); the transmission of ideas from one culture to
another through translation and also the going back and forth of people and
books, which explains the diffusion of sapiential texts—travellers (sages and
scholars), translators and benefactors…

4) Written Wisdom and Oral Wisdomː

Here we will highlight the relations between maxims, sentences, apophthegms on
the one hand and with proverbs on the other hand—opposition between “proverbs
of the people” / “proverbs of the elite” in some medieval compilations, for
example; the patrimonialization of wisdom—the passage from the compilation of
sentences and sapiential books to lists and books of proverbs; the emergence
and foundation of paremiology and phraseology—development of scientific
categories, their relationships with the native categories, categorization
criteria etc. It will be possible to question here the relevance that the
different theories on the linguistic categorization have to the Brief
Sapiential Statements.
