This approach is tested and discussed through a series of, apparently unrelated, case studies from late medieval Perugia. They show to what extent the process of shaping of religious literacies and of transmission of religious knowledge consisted of a complex interaction between different media and techniques, in which the real, the mental and the "mediated" are in constant dialogue and exchange.

Hij had, tijdens het onderzoek dat aan de uitgave van het boek voorafging, kennis gem aakt met de klassieke auteurs (Caesar, Tacitus, Plinius, Plutarcus), de geografen Strabo en Ptolomeus en de chroniqueurs Siegebert de Gembloux, Jean Froissart en Johannes Aretinus. M aar hij w as er niet van op de hoogte dat een landgenoot ruim hon derd jaar eerder een Middelnederlandse kroniek van Vlaanderen had vertaald, onder de titel Cronache de singniori di Fiandra e de loro advenimenti en zijn vertaling had voorzien van een kaart van Vlaanderen (ill,). Dat Lodovico Guicciardini nooit het werk van zijn bescheiden voor ganger had gelezen blijkt duidelijk uit de Descnzione di Fiandra (Beschrijving van Vlaanderen) die het veertiende hoofdstuk van de Descrittione di tutti i Paesi Bassi opent. Hier probeert hij de oorsprong van het woord Fiandra te verklaren en de lezer de weg te wijzen tus sen de meest verschillende auctontates die in de loop der eeuwen heb ben getracht hun bijdrage te leveren aan deze filologische queeste. Geen mogelijkheid werd onberoerd gelaten: Latijn, Oudgermaans en Frans werden te hulp geroepen. Enkele bronnen vermelden Flamberto, heer van Vlaanderen in het jaar 437, andere bronnen beroepen zich op de naam van de vrouw van Liderico, volgens Guicciardini de eerste graaf van Vlaanderen. Men heeft ook aan het Latijn fluctibus of flatibus gedacht en aan het Germ aanse woord flaiddren (pijlen), aangezien de Vlamingen hoog aangeschreven stonden als jagers.

It was especially in the Late Middle Ages that the number of such multi-textual manuscripts, often compiled by lay and religious individuals for personal or communal use, grew substantially. In spite of their seminal relevance for the reconstruction of medieval culture, such manuscripts have not until recently garnered much scholarly interest. The present volume pinpoints the societal and cultural relevance of 14th- and 15th-century miscellanies as well as their role in the understanding of textual creation, transformation and complexity, in both late medieval and early modern societies. The contributions scrutinise, on the one side, text corpora and textual traditions that had a seminal impact on late medieval European culture: the texts of Geoffrey Chaucer and Reginald Pecock, the manuscripts of Dante’s Commedia, late medieval Italian and Latin poetic anthologies, but also miscellanies from the Counc...

Challenging traditional religious and cultural boundaries, such as between the West-European Christian and the North-African Islamic worlds, the session will approach the medieval Mediterranean as a laboratory for the writing of connected histories of the dissemination and the sharing of books and knowledge and the creation of specific " lieux de savoir " (using the spatial terminology coined by Christian Jacob) where knowledge is created, kept, disseminated, transformed and shared. Cases in point will be:-the comparative investigation of private, semi-public and public book collections and libraries: their creation, their use, their organisation and their function within the (urban) space in which they were situated as well as the social and political function of these specific " spaces of knowledge " ;-the study of interreligious book, reading and collecting activities;-the comparative study of the " ethics of reading " and of the " ethics of book sharing and collecting " , leading to a reflection on the impact of textual cultures in the creation and development of communities. If interested please send a 200-300 word abstract for a 20-minute paper until 14 October 2016 to s.corbellini@rug.nl For more information on the conference cf. http://www.smm2017.ugent.be/

Every section starts with an introduction presenting a brief overview of the field, the issues treated, as well as the nature and directions of contemporary scholarly discourse. After a detailed general introduction defining the Bible itself and the concept of retelling, the notion of Apocrypha is readdressed, particularly analyzing the way they are composed. Then follow the sections Translation and Interpretation from Jerome to the Post-Holocaust period, Preaching and Teaching the Bible in the Middle Ages through the Enlightenment, Biblical Characters as Models in medieval hagiography, Biblical Poetry from Late Antiquity to Bruce Springsteen, and finally the retelling strategies and challenges of Children's Bibles and a brief treatment of retelling Beyond the Text.

It was especially in the Late Middle Ages that the number of such multitextual manuscripts, often compiled by lay and religious individuals for personal or communal use, grew substantially. In spite of their relevance for the reconstruction of medieval culture, such manuscripts have not until recently garnered much scholarly interest.
The present volume pinpoints the societal and cultural importance of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century miscellanies as well as their role in the understanding of textual creation, transformation and complexity, in both late medieval and early modern societies.

This dichotomy isolated religious history from the analytical tools honed by social sciences—despite the fact that the ‘Church’ as an object of enquiry was at the very core of sociological thinking since the days of its founding fathers, Durkheim and Weber. This workshop aims to contribute to an ongoing editorial endeavour, a collaborative ‘Critical dictionary’ reassessing the historical object we commonly refer to as “the Church”. Through the familiar format of “dictionary headings” common assumptions about the Church as an ecclesiastical institution, as well as related topics, will be addressed.
Through paired interventions, the speakers will question the formation and consolidation of traditional narratives concerning the Church in order to shift the focus away from classic “religious history” and confront the historical approach with the methodologies and concepts developed by social sciences. Deconstructing these grand narratives will highlight the ideological presuppositions of conventional normative accounts, insuring a critical historicization of classical conceptions about the Church and Churches from an anthropological and social-historical perspective.

A particular aim of this network was to discuss new European narratives framing the important transformations of lay religious culture during the period c. 1350–1550—a complex historical process that is still often obscured by the competing older narratives of Reformation, humanism, and Renaissance which shape the historiographical heritage. The introductory article problematizes this and suggests viewing the transformation of lay religious culture as a long-term process of cultural evolution instead. It offers an overview of the most important aspects of this evolutionary process during the long fifteenth century. The following articles discuss sociological theories of the religious field as a possible framework for new European narratives of religious transformation.
