Abstract | Hrabanus Maurus's In honorem sanctae crucis, a collection of twenty-eight carmina figurata in praise of the cross, is both his earliest composition, and one of the most unusual and intriguing of his writings. This session proposes to focus on this fascinating work, with papers surviving recent developments in interpretation, Hrabanus' focus on the cross, and his use of clusters of vocabulary as a method of meditation. |
