Abstract | The aim of this session is to make a link between the problematics related to the study of personal relationships/friendships and the topic of age and youth. A. Knaepen and N. Gaul will focus on the question of authority, which is a characteristic for student-master-relationships; A. Knaepen will do this for the medieval west, using narrative sources (excluding letters), N. Gaul for the Byzantine area, 10-15th c. W. Ysebaert on his side will focus on the relation between 'masters' (broadly understood) and 'disciples' and on the question in which way this relationships are reflected in the proces of the construction of letter-collections (period of the 8th-12th centuries, medieval west). |
