    LECTIO SUMMER SCHOOL

    4-5 September 2023


    Abbey of Kortenberg

    Multilingualism
    in Antiquity, the Middle Ages
    and the Early Modern Period

    Call for Applications

    LECTIO is organizing its second Summer School on 4-5 September 2023, in the lovely setting of a retreat to
    the Abbey of Kortenberg, close to Leuven. A dozen magistri are ready to guide you through the fascinating
    world of scholars, students, and their ideas in Antiquity, Middle Ages, and Renaissance. By focusing on
    multilingualism, this LECTIO Summer School aims to introduce a grassroots perspective on the transmission
    of ideas, texts, and images in premodern intellectual history, as well as present recent developments in
    digital humanities and artificial intelligence. The main ambition is to examine to which extent the practices
    of, and reflection on, multilingualism can be retraced in manuscripts, printed matter, and visual sources,
    and how this should be taken into account when analyzing the premodern history of knowledge. This
    Summer School will also introduce you to approaches of media history and book archaeology which help
    uncover the ‘multilingual past’ of intellectual history, and examine the complex interplay between orality,
    text, and the material world in relation to linguistic diversity.

    Participants will be asked to engage with a reader of key texts and sources.

    If you are willing to present your research in one of the sessions, you are invited to indicate this on the
    form. And of course, we will also make time to have team-building activities.

    Our teachers: Pieter Beullens, Bert Cornillie, Mark Depauw, Lisa Devriese, Philip Forness, Michèle Goyens,
    Christina Kreinecker, Luigi-Alberto Sanchi, An Smets, Alisa van de Haar, Zanna Van Loon, Raf Van Rooy,
