IMC 2026: Sessions

The writings of Aristotle profoundly shaped medieval scholarship. Thomas Aquinas, who commented upon his works, referred to him simply as 'the Philosopher'. This session, the second of two round table sessions presenting and discussing new publications on medieval philosophy and theology, will focus upon the reception of Aristotle's works in medieval universities, specifically the De anima, Meteorology, as well as some pseudo-aristotelian texts such as the De inundatione Nili. Authors Paola Bernardini, Aurora Panzica, and Pavel Blažek will speak about three recent monographs, which have been published by Brepols. Editor Julian Yolles will also reflect upon producing works like this in the 21st century.

Participants include Pavel Blažek (Filosofický ústav, Akademie věd České republiky), Julian Yolles (Brepols Publishers), Aurora Panzica (Departement Künste, Medien, Philosophie, Universität Basel), Paola Bernardini (Dipartimento di Filologia e Critica delle Letterature Antiche e Moderne, Università degli Studi di Siena))
