Abstract	As medieval gender scholars have been focusing more and more on the study of multiple masculinities, this panel seeks to explore multiple masculinities in relation to intellectual networks, both formal and informal. What did it mean to be a 'learned' man in the Middle Ages? How were these types of identities formed, what knowledge did they circulate, and what is their legacy?
