Massimiliano Bampi (Université de Trente) : Forms of Writing in the Medieval North: Multi-text Manuscripts from a Cultural-Historical Perspective

Le Professeur Massimiliano Bampi est invité par l’USIAS

The usual form of transmission of medieval texts is the multi-text manuscript. Why is it crucial to read and study texts transmitted in this way as part of a text collection? What do multi-text manuscripts tell us about medieval culture and the use of literary works? These and other related questions will be discussed by illustrating some examples of Nordic multi-text manuscripts from the late medieval period.
