The Book and the City. The Liber Floridus as a Circular Enclosure of Creation, History and Incarnation
This contribution focuses on the significance of the idealized city in Lambert of Saint-Omer’s famous Liber floridus (completed c. 1121). To this end, we move from the historical and material reality of Saint-Omer, one of the most dynamic centres of urban development in early twelfth-century Flanders, to the autograph manuscript of the Liber (MS Ghent, University Library, 92). In doing so, we ask to what extent both the city as a general concept,…
Resurrecting Rome. Liturgy and Rome's Second Revival
Liturgy is one of the more underestimated entries of the Gregorian reform. Surely, this is due to the difficulty of getting a clear view of concrete and detailed liturgical evolutions and renewals. It seems, however, to have been one of the more important elements at stake during the short period of the bitter and hard confrontations between the leading layers of the Church around 1100. Besides, between about 1050 and 1150, Rome saw an intense bu…

In einem kurzen Überblick die Rezeptionsgeschichte Homers in der griechischen Literatur nachzuzeichnen, ist eigentlich ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit. Homer, der Dichter der Griechen par excellence (ho poiētḗs), ist in der griechischen Literatur, sei es sprachlich, sei es inhaltlich, immer präsent. Die nachfolgenden Dichtergenerationen setzen sich von Anfang an mit dem Klassiker auseinander; sie reiben sich an ihm, hinterfragen und kritisieren ihn od…
Latinitas Perennis. Volume II
No cultural phenomenon can remain vital and evolve without a continuous integration of external elements. Instead of reading the process of appropriation in terms of ‘sources’ or ‘models’, the dynamics involved are better understood using more flexible categories such as creative reception, polyphony and dialogue. In every phase of its evolution, in Antiquity, the Middle Ages or (Early) Modern times, Latin literature had to face a double challeng…
Latinitas perennis
La société des amis à Rome et dans la littérature médiévale et humaniste
Le présent volume propose une réflexion diachronique et pluridisciplinaire sur la notion fondamentale d’amitié, amicitia, telle qu’elle a été théorisée et mise en pratique par les Romains, puis par leurs héritiers, au gré de l’évolution des mentalités et des institutions. Le livre que Cicéron a consacré à ce thème si important dans le fonctionnement de la société romaine, le Laelius ou De amicitia (44 av. J.-C.), fait d’abord l’objet d’études cro…
Cicero and Dionysios the Elder, or the End of Liberty
Cicero and Dionysios the Elder, or the End of Liberty Wim Verbaal Latin writing often conceals more than might be uncovered by a mere philological and historical approach. To understand the message of a text, traditional analyses ought to be supported by the more recent requirements of the fields of textual criticism and literary science. Close reading, combined with a more structural textual analysis, may offer insights which, from a historical …
The Council of Sens Reconsidered
The Council of Sens (May 25, 1141), during which the teaching of Peter Abelard († 1143) was condemned by an ecclesiastical court, has long been one of the most disputed subjects in twelfth-century scholarship. The outcome of the Council, understood as a victory for Bernard of Clairvaux († 1153) over master Abelard, bequeathed us centuries of distorted historical interpretation. For far too long, understanding of what happened was firmly based on …
