The vernacular translations of Lanfranc’s of Milan surgical works
Call for papers
Session sponsored by the Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, University of Ferrara and co-sponsored by the Dipartimento di Lingue e Culture moderne, University of Genova
58th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo (online), May 11-13, 2023
The aim of the session is to bring together scholars working on the vernacular (Romance, Germanic, Hebrew) renderings of both Lanfranc’s of Milan Chirurgia parva and Chirurgia magna from different (philological, linguistic, terminological, comparative, medical-historical) perspectives. Possible fields of investigation include, but are not limited to:
- Textual critical problems connected with the editions of these vernacular versions
- The comparison between the Latin text and its vernacular rendering
- The rendering of specialized terminology into vernacular
- The influence of Lanfranc’s translation on later surgical works
- The difficulties connected with the absence of a scholarly edition of the Latin sources
The paper proposal deadline is September 15th.
