| Paper 1601-a | 'Philosophus amator sapientiae, philocomphus amator iactantiae': Translating the Hiberno-Latin of Anonymus ad Cuimnanum (Language: English) Index terms: Education, Language and Literature - Latin, Learning (The Classical Inheritance), Manuscripts and Palaeography |
| Abstract | This session will discuss findings from a collaborative translation of the 8th-century Insular grammar, Anonymus ad Cuimnanum (AAC). Brian Cook will discuss challenges in translating the Hiberno-Latin of AAC and identifying citations and paraphrases due to the entanglement of secular and ecclesiastical learning in the early medieval period and the difficulty posed by Hiberno-Latin. This paper will also discuss what this entanglement reveals about networks of secular and ecclesiastical learning in early medieval Europe. Finally, a respondent will relate this to broader topics in the translation and study of Latinate and vernacular learned and literary text among an insular milieu. |
