Rebuilding the Stemma: Understanding the Manuscript Tradition of Francis of Marchia’s Commentaries on Book II of the Sentences (original) (raw)

This paper focusses on glossed manuscripts from the Carolingian period. The margin, it is be argued, is not merely a place for explanation, for educational remarks on vocabulary, grammar and syntax. It is a crucial source of information on Carolingian intellectual life, its preoccupations and methods. Marginal annotations from this period are often characterized by a drive to collect material from different authorities, compare them and analyze their differences. For example, in marginal annotations and commentaries on the late ancient scholarly texts from Martianus Capella and Boethius, these authorities are not only put next to each other, but also other authors and texts are brought in to create a complete web of learning around a certain topic. This phenomenon will be illustrated with several examples. First some clear cut examples will be shown in which glosses refer to differences between one authority and the other. A second example will show the new and powerful instrument brought in to show differences between authorities: the diagram. Finally, some more abstract examples will be shown. The world of the non-Christian author Martianus Capella was not always in harmony with the Christian worldview of the ninth century. The Neoplatonic blueprint of Martianus’ De nuptiis clearly inspired the Carolingian scholarly elite, but also caused friction. Ideas on sapientia, for example, or on the knowability of the world, expressed in the margin of Martianus manuscripts, show how scholars struggled to balance their pagan authorities with their Christian authorities.
Medieval Scholarship and Philosophy in the Last One Hundred Years
This paper discusses the historiography of medieval philosophy in the period of 1895-1995. There is also a brief discussion of critical editions and the methods used to create them, including the expressions of some worries about whether there will be editors in the future to match the Latinity and scholarship of past editors.

Between 1400 and 1700 the political, religious, intellectual, and even geographic landscape was profoundly changed by the Reformation, Humanism, the rise of empirical science, the invention of printing technology, and the discovery of the New World. The late medieval and early modern intellectuals felt an urgent need to respond to the changes they were involved in, and to come to a revision and re-authorisation of knowledge. They embarked on a scholarly programme of a quality and extent hitherto unknown in the Western world: the whole body of the literature of antiquity, including the Bible, was to be re-edited critically and furnished with commentaries. The Neo-Latin commentary became the most important genre of humanist scholarship. This book sheds light on the various ways in which classical authors and the Bible were commented on, the types of commentary, the commenting strategies that were used to approach different readerships, the various kinds of knowledge that were collecte...
