| Abstract | The session proposers have been organising sessions on Bede / the Age of Bede at the Leeds IMC since 2011, which means that this year will see the 10th consecutive set of sessions. To date we have had 52 individual speakers and 67 papers, and are proposing 9 further papers for 2020. This year's sessions gather together scholars from both sides of the Atlantic to read papers on various aspects of the Age of Bede, in celebration of Bede's fundamental importance to the intellectual culture of the Middle Ages. The sessions provide a forum for the community of scholars built up over a decade's worth of IMC sessions to meet, interact and share ideas with one another. Paper -a examines the important theme of deification in Bede's theological treatises. Paper -b demonstrates that the Canterbury School's glosses were heavily influenced by Latin Patristic sources, contrary to what is often assumed. Paper-c focuses on Bede's Gospel homilies, and asks: what can we learn about their audiences? |
