SUMMARY:Winter School - Introduction into HTR: Handwritten Text Recognition Technologies of Medieval Manuscripts (Latin|German|Czech)
DESCRIPTION:4 Zoom online sessions | Oct 21\, Nov 4 and 18\, Dec 4 \n3-day-workshop in Vienna | December 19-21 \nOver the last decade\, Machine Learning tools have been developed to allow for the automatic transcription of documents at previously unobtainable levels of accuracy. Today\, libraries have used these tools to make their collections searchable\, while researchers have sped up the process of creating editions of texts and adopted them for the study of medieval documents. \nThe course will offer an introduction into some of these ongoing projects\, but more importantly provide an introduction into the practice of studying medieval documents with Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) technologies. \nMore information is available on the MARBAS website.

SUMMARY:Medieval Studies Faculty Colloquium: “The Return of the Magus: Theurgy in Safavid Iran”
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Sheffield (Near Eastern Studies) will present this lunchtime talk on Tuesday\, November 29. \nIn the mid-fifteenth century\, the late Byzantine Platonist Georgius Gemistus Pletho produced a commentary on ancient theurgical verses preserved in Greek known as the Chaldaean Oracles which he attributed to “the magi of Zoroaster” (Magika logia ton apo tou Zoroastrou magon)\, penning a treatise known as a “Summation (sygkephalaiosis) of the Platonic and Zoroastrian dogmas” as part of a lengthy work on theurgy known as The Laws (Nomoi). A few decades later\, another book\, claimed as divine revelation\, appeared in Safavid Iran\, also entitled The Laws (Dasātīr)\, attributing to Zoroaster a similar series of theurgical invocations preserved in the language of heaven itself. Both works subsequently became important loci in the memory of Zoroaster in the European and Islamic traditions\, but was their contemporaneous appearance mere coincidence\, or the result of a connected tradition in the reception of Late Antique Platonism? In this talk\, we will attempt to answer this question on the basis of new readings of the surviving Arabic translations of the works of Pletho produced for the Ottoman court\, together with a reevaluation of the Dasātīr in light of newly discovered manuscript evidence. \nPlease RSVP for this event here.

SUMMARY:How did they learn? How did they teach?: Exploring Knowledge Transmission from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern
DESCRIPTION:Much of our modern knowledge is the result of centuries of experiments driven by human desire to record and pass down successes\, failures and lessons learned. The timespan from the periods often called “Late Antique” to that called “Early Modern” offers enormous scope to explore the historical record of knowledge transmission across diverse social contexts. \nThis conference will explore the many networks and forms of knowledge transmission active across the Late Antique and Early Modern periods. We will work within a wide span of geographical and chronological parameters as well as across disciplines. \nPlease visit the conference website for the schedule and registration. \nSponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, the Committee on Renaissance and Early Modern Studies\, the Department of Art and Archaeology\, The Center for Collaborative History\, the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies\, the Princeton Graduate School\, the Program in History of Science\, and The Delaware Valley Medieval Association.

SUMMARY:Machine Learning and the Future of Philology
DESCRIPTION:What will philology become in the wake of the digital revolution? How can computer vision\, handwritten text recognition\, natural language processing\, deep neural networks and/or other forms of machine learning refine the arsenal of techniques for studying pre-modern evidence? \nThis works-in-progress symposium will feature six teams of Princeton scholars who are applying machine learning to manuscripts\, rare books\, archives\, inscriptions\, coins and other pre-1600 texts. Presentations will include projects on materials in Syriac\, Hebrew\, Latin\, Greek\, Chinese and English. David Smith (Computer Science\, Northeastern) will offer remarks. \nThe symposium will take place at the CDH on Friday\, December 9\, 2022\, 9 am to 5 pm at the Center for Digital Humanities (B Floor\, Firestone Library) and on Zoom. \nThis event is co-organized by the Center for Digital Humanities and the Manuscript\, Rare Book and Archive Studies Initiative\, with support from the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning. This symposium is intended as the first of a pair; the second will take place in 2023–24 and solicit proposals from beyond the Princeton community. \nA provisional schedule is available on the CDH website. \nThis event is limited to Princeton affiliates.

SUMMARY:The Devil of Details: Titivillus\, from Yesterday’s Monks to Today’s Dungeons & Dragons
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Medieval Studies Faber Lecture with Jan Ziolkowski (Harvard University). \nA reception in the Weickart Atrium will follow the lecture.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP HERE. \nFrom medieval Europe to the modern West\, the demon Titivillus has been famous for identifying and collecting slips and sins in song\, speech\, and writing. This talk follows him from his origins around 1200 on\, and investigates the meanings of his name\, diffusion of awareness of him through preaching and painting\, interplay between orality and literacy in stories about him\, issues of gender and blackness that sometimes surrounded him\, and what the Devil has meant across time. Thanks to today’s dominance of English\, Titivillus is regarded as especially particular to medieval England\, but he became commonplace far beyond the Continent and survived past the Middle Ages to appear in Rabelais\, the earliest Slovak literature\, Anatole France\, Herman Melville\, and W. H. Auden\, before finally having a novel devoted to him in 1953. He remains unforgotten\, a curio beloved among calligraphers and role-play gamers. \nJan Ziolkowski graduated from Princeton and received his PhD from the University of Cambridge. He is Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin at Harvard University\, where he joined the faculty in 1981. He has concentrated his research and teaching on the literature of the Middle Ages. His special focuses have included the classical tradition\, grammar and rhetoric\, interaction between folk and learned literature\, and Germanic epic in Latin. Lately he has pursued broad interests in medieval revivalism down to the present day. From 2007 to 2020 he directed Dumbarton Oaks in DC and founded the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Oath and Law: Legal Language in Early Imperial and Medieval China”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Trenton W. Wilson (East Asian Studies) will present our first lunchtime talk of the semester on Tuesday\, February 21. \nIn this presentation\, Wilson will examine the language of interdiction in early Chinese law “codes” with an eye to the persistence of oath language—and its eventual disappearance. Oath language\, he argues\, provided a template for articulating how laws bind\, the relationship between emperor and subject\, and cultural practices for disseminating law throughout the empire. This will be presented as a work in progress\, criticisms\, readings suggestions\, and comparative perspectives are welcome. \nPlease RSVP for this event here. \nBook exhibit in the history reading room \nAlain St. Pierre and the Princeton University Library invite the Medieval Studies community to the History reading room in Firestone Library (Floor A: turn left out of the main staircase) on colloquium days to view recently acquired titles in all subject areas of Medieval Studies. The books will be on display from Monday (February 20) through Wednesday (February 22). Come browse!

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Making Things Up: Improvisation in the Illustrated  Cantigas de Santa María ”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Pamela Patton (Art and Archaeology) will present this lunchtime talk on Wednesday\, March 29. \nPatton’s project-in-progress examines artistic improvisation in the two illustrated Cantigas de Santa María manuscripts now in the Escorial (RBME\, MS T-I-1) and Florence (Bib. Naz. MS b.r. 20). The creativity of these visual narratives\, made to accompany the text and music of the Cantigas when they were set down in a pair of deluxe codices around 1280 at the Sevillian court of their patron\, King Alfonso X of Castile\, has been widely recognized. Yet the degree to which the illustrations diverge from their companion texts—embroidering\, revising\, even subverting the details of the written/sung narratives—suggests an autonomy and even haphazardness that stands at odds with the modern vision of a well-ordered royal scriptorium. Patton’s project postulates that the rampant improvisations of the Cantigas illustrations reflect both the freedom enjoyed and the pressure endured by an atelier struggling to satisfy a prolific royal patron under challenging conditions. \nPlease RSVP for this event here.

SUMMARY:The Rise of the Christian Economy in the post-Christian West
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 11 for a lecture with Ian Wood\, scholar of early medieval history and Professor emeritus at the University of Leeds\, on the Christian economy of the early medieval west. \nIn recent years a number of historians\, most notably Peter Brown\, have drawn attention to ‘the spiritual economy’.  They have pointed to the significance of piety in the transfer of wealth.  What has received less attention is the extent to which this had an impact on economic life in general.  This can be measured by the accumulation of ecclesiastical wealth.  Here\, the chronology of that accumulation is striking.  Whereas the underlying theology is fully set out in the fourth and fifth centuries\, the large-scale endowment of the Church seems to come more than a century later.  \nReception to follow lecture.  \nSponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and the Committee for the Study of Late Antiquity. \n\nPlease RSVP here. \nTo expand on the ideas presented in this broader lecture\, Professor Wood will also be giving a seminar on Friday\, April 14 from 2:30 – 4:00 pm in 103 Scheide Caldwell. All are welcome to RSVP for one or both events. More information on the seminar here. \n\nIan Wood is emeritus Professor of Early Medieval History\, having retired from the University of Leeds\, where he had taught for 39 years\, in 2015.  He has also held guest-professorships at Vienna and Aarhus\, and research fellowships in the Netherlands\, the British School at Rome\, the Collegium Budapest\, the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies\, and Tübingen.  He was involved in the foundation of the International Medieval Congress at Leeds.  From 1989-92 he was on the working party involved in setting up the European Science Foundation project on the Transformation of the Roman World\, of which he was one of the coordinators from 1992-8.  He has published on Gregory of Tours\, the Merovingians\, Missionary Hagiography\, the modern historiography of the early Middle Ages\, the Transformation of the Roman World\, and the Christian Economy of the early Medieval West\, and has co-authored volumes on the Ruthwell and Bewcastle monuments\, Avitus of Vienne and Columbanus.  He was elected fellow of the British Academy in 2019.

SUMMARY:The Wealth of Merovingian Bishops: The Case of the Desiderii
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will expand on ideas presented in Ian Wood’s lecture “The Rise of the Christian Economy in the post-Christian West” held on Tuesday\, April 11 at 4:30 pm in 010 East Pyne. \nScholars have long talked about the wealth of one Merovingian bishop\, Bertram of Le Mans.  But the wealth of Desiderius of Cahors has recently attracted attention\, because of the new edition of the Vita Desiderii.  And the bishop of Cahors is not the only wealthy member of the clan of the Desiderii in the late sixth and early seventh centuries:  apart from his two brothers and sisters\, we can point to the wealth of Desiderius of Auxerre\, and\, in the eighth century\, perhaps even to that of Abbo of Provence.  The evidence for the Desiderii allows us to see one massively rich Late Roman clan transferring its wealth to the Church in the seventh century.  \nSponsored by the Program in Medieval Studies\, Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and the Committee for the Study of Late Antiquity. \n\nPlease RSVP here. \nYou do not need to have attended the lecture to attend this seminar. All are welcome to RSVP for one or both events. \n\nIan Wood is emeritus Professor of Early Medieval History\, having retired from the University of Leeds\, where he had taught for 39 years\, in 2015.  He has also held guest-professorships at Vienna and Aarhus\, and research fellowships in the Netherlands\, the British School at Rome\, the Collegium Budapest\, the Polish Institute of Advanced Studies\, and Tübingen.  He was involved in the foundation of the International Medieval Congress at Leeds.  From 1989-92 he was on the working party involved in setting up the European Science Foundation project on the Transformation of the Roman World\, of which he was one of the coordinators from 1992-8.  He has published on Gregory of Tours\, the Merovingians\, Missionary Hagiography\, the modern historiography of the early Middle Ages\, the Transformation of the Roman World\, and the Christian Economy of the early Medieval West\, and has co-authored volumes on the Ruthwell and Bewcastle monuments\, Avitus of Vienne and Columbanus.  He was elected fellow of the British Academy in 2019.

SUMMARY:Medieval Faculty Colloquium: “Translating Jurjani: Why read an eleventh-century text about Arabic poetics?”
DESCRIPTION:The Program in Medieval Studies is pleased to offer the Faculty Colloquium series for Spring 2023. Lara Harb (Near Eastern Studies) will present this lunchtime talk on Wednesday\, April 19. \nLast fall\, Harb spent the semester translating a work from Arabic entitled The Secrets of Eloquence and teaching it to a group of graduate students. Authored by the eleventh-century literary theorist and grammarian ʿAbd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī\, The Secrets constitutes a pivotal work in the development of classical Arabic literary criticism. In addition\, its theories and framework have a wider applicability that Harb contends can and should be part of larger conversations about poetics and aesthetics beyond Arabic. Harb will discuss some of the challenges of translating this work and making it accessible to an English-speaking audience and will attempt to answer the question: why read Jurjani? \nPlease RSVP for this event here.
