Paper 305-c | Hrabanus Maurus' Sermons for Lothar I (Language: English) |
Abstract | The papers in this session concentrate on three collections of sermons, the first has been attributed to Boniface, the others are the homiliaries of Hrabanus Maurus, presented to Emperor Lothar I. and Haistulf of Mainz(?). These collections illustrate the various problems and opportunities associated with an investigation of early medieval sermons. The papers deal with the difficulties of attributing such collections to a specific author such as Boniface, as well as with the texts themselves: their audiences, their contents, their rewriting, their uses, and contexts. |
