31 October 2023: Medieval Palaeography Masterclass (‘Liber de causis’)

On 31 October 2023, Dr Dragoș Calma, Associate Professor of Medieval Philosophy at University College, Dublin, gave a class on medieval palaeography. The class was attended by the students of Adrian Papahagi’s course of Manuscript Studies (LLE 5122/5222), by students of Classics, and by PhD students in medieval studies.

The class read a series of manuscripts transmitting the Liber de causis, a ninth-century Arabic work, which became popular in the West in the Latin translation of Gerardus Cremonensis (d. 1187).

Dr Calma’s course was part of an exchange programme sponsored by the Romanian Research Council (CNCS – UEFISCDI, project PN-IV-P2-2.2-MCD-2023-0051).
