| Abstract | The study of medieval learning before the universities is currently experiencing an upsurge of interest: While traditional frameworks of interpretation are losing their dominance, studies on the learned cultures of the earlier and central middle ages can profit from a number of new methodological approaches. In this first part of a double session, we will discuss problems of current research to investigate possibilities and perspectives for the future. |
