Une collection de commentaires aux classiques latins, le manuscrit de Berne, Bürgerbibliothek 411. Textes et contextes

The manuscript Bern, Bürgerbibliothek 411, dated to the end of the twelfth or beginning of the thirteenth century, constitutes an example, rather rare from this time, of the gathering of several school commentaries on classical Latin authors, namely those on Lucan, Virgil, Ovid, Statius, Sallust, and Terence, six of the ten that Birger Munk Olsen has defined as auctores maiores. The analysis of some of these commentaries allows us to ascribe them to the teaching of the schools of Orleans, intensively dedicated to the study of literature during the twelfth–fourteenth centuries. However, the volume, if homogeneous in appearance, is actually a 'recueil factice,' a compilation consisting of four originally independent codicological units. But a detailed codicological study reveals some clues, leading to the hypothesis that these elements were bound together at an early date, and that the result embodies a schoolbook of the end of the Middle Ages – this is also supported by the history of the manuscript and what can be deduced from some elements of the paratexts

Rediscovery and Canonization: The Roman Classics in the Middle Ages

Issue 3 of Interfaces: A Journal of Medieval European Literatures explores the theme of the rediscovery and canonization of the Roman classics in medieval Western European literary culture, beginning in the eleventh century and reaching a wide impact on literary and intellectual life in the twelfth century. It is headed by an article by Birger Munk Olsen whose immense and comprehensive work of cataloguing and analyzing the entire record of manuscripts containing Roman classics copied before 1200 is nearing completion (L‘étude des auteurs classiques aux XIe et XIIe siècles, 5 vols). Within our journal’s scope of medieval European literature we have found it both rewarding and fitting to take Munk Olsen’s work as a prism for what is a striking literary phenomenon across most geographies and chronologies of medieval Europe: the engagement with the pre-Christian classics.The catalogue and the synthesis by Munk Olsen put many kinds of new studies on a firm footing. In this issue of Interfaces we present three 'frontiers' or types of scholarship on the rediscovery and canonization of the Roman classics all taking their cue from the meticulous way L’étude has charted out this territory

Sexe, magie et rhétorique au milieu du xie siècle : la Rhetorimachia d’Anselme de Besate

S’il est une période assez mal connue du point de vue de l’histoire des arts du langage dans le Moyen Âge latin, c’est bien celle qui court de la restauration de la rhétorique cicéronienne par Alcuin, lorsqu’il métamorphose habilement le manuel d’éloquence judiciaire qu’est le De inventione en traité de morale politique, jusqu’à l’avènement d’un art de rhétorique proprement médiéval, tel que les premiers bréviaires de dictamen et inventaires de couleurs de rhétorique le mettent en place dans ..
