Abstract | This panel investigates disputed attempts to remember Christ's life in the 15th century, and develops from a collaborative research project on the controversial Leuven professor Peter de Rivo. Masolini will analyse the mnemonic devices embedded in attempts to harmonise accounts of Christ's times in the period. Champion will trace the architecture of de Rivo's mnemonic apparatus for his Monotessaron of the Gospels, and its deconstruction at the hands of readers from the Roodklooster near Brussels. Nothaft will consider memory's place in de Rivo's Dialogus de temporibus Christi, and in tense chronological debates between de Rivo and Paul of Middelburg. |
