ΜΟΥΣΑ ΠΑΙΖΕΙ
GREEK AND LATIN TECHNOPAEGNIA, RIDDLES, ACROSTICHS, POETIC PUNS, METRICAL CURIOSITIES, ETC.
Appel à contributions
Date limite : 30 septembre 2010

The term technopaegnia is now commonly applied to ancient Greek pattern poems, but in his 1630 monumental Encyclopaedia Johann Heinrich Alsted used it in a wider sense, in reference to various riddling jeux de mots (he managed to list sixty types). Alsted's unrestrictive approach is apparently close to the ancient understanding of what the riddle is, as the Peripatetic philosopher Clearchus of Soli discussed in his treatise On Riddles (Peri griphon) Castorion's Hymn to Pan, a metrical experiment, which is not otherwise a riddle.

We invite scholars of ancient literature, as well as those interested in its reception (limited to the classical languages), to engage in a discussion of poetic and para-poetic riddles, acrostichs, anagrams, figure-poems, metrical tours de force, literary puns, alliterative artefacts, etc. ? the Alstedian technopaegnia and Clearchian griphoi ? that can be traced in Greek and Roman literature. It is our conviction that although such eccentricities lack the depth that one often seeks in ancient literature, serious scholarship must no longer neglect the effect they have had on contemporary and later poetry, or their role as documents of the poets' and grammarians' tastes and ingenuity. We wish to focus primarily on the forms that emerged in antiquity, but we are also interested in what their fates were in the hands of later poets, scribes, editors, and scholars.


We do not encourage searching for unnoticed puns, acrostichs, anagrams, and other mirages. Our intention is to provoke an unorthodox, multidimensional reflection on a relatively neglected field of ancient literature. Possible topics include the following:

- ancient and modern theoretical approaches to Greek and Latin riddles, technopaegnia etc.;
- jeux de mots: tradition and innovation (from the archaic riddling devices and alliteration to the Alexandrian and Roman poetic experiments);
- ancient riddles in the Indo-European context (e.g. ancient griphoi vs. Old English riddles);
- riddles and technopaegnia in the light of the orality/literacy debate;
- riddles and riddling devices at the symposium;
- the epigraphic and papyrological evidence for ancient jeux de mots;
- in and around Book 14 of the Greek Anthology;
- the Alexandrianism of the technopaegnia of Laevius, Iulius Vestinus, and Optatian Porfyry;
- the Byzantine, Renaissance, and 17th-century readers and scholars of the Greek technopaegnia;
- continuity and change in the history of figure-poems since Simias;
- a matter of taste: critical attitudes toward jeux des mots (e.g. the Greek technopaegnia).

If you wish to present a paper, please submit a 250?300 word abstract including the title to the email address given below (.pdf, .doc, .docx, or .rtf). If your proposal is accepted, you will be required to provide a full manuscript of a 25-minute paper shortly before the conference, so that copies can be distributed to the participants. At the conference, each presentation will be followed by a 20-minute discussion (that will give a period of 45 minutes for each paper). We plan to record the discussion and include an edited selection of it in the conference proceedings.

We invite papers in English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish, but the working language of the conference will be English.
The registration fee for participants is 150 ?; this includes accommodation (three nights), meals and conference materials.

The conference will be held on May 6th and 7th, 2011.
Please submit abstracts by September 30th, 2010.
Authors will be notified of the result by October 31st, 2010.
Finished papers will have to reach us before March 31th, 2011.
If you wish to respond to one of papers or otherwise participate in the conference, please express your interest by January 31st, 2011.

The University of Warsaw is located in the heart of the city, surrounded by historical places of interest, parks, walks, cafes, and restaurants. It can be easily reached from the airport, which is just 15 kilometres (9 miles) from the conference site. Further information will be given upon arrival.

Appel à contribution :
Denis Sauvage and Sixteenth-Century Medievalisms (Kalamazoo ICMS, 2011)
Date limite : 20 septembre 2010

46th International Congress on Medieval Studies (May 12-15, 2011)

This panel will analyze the contribution that sixteenth-century editors made to the formation of the medieval canon, particuarly in terms of selecting which texts received scholarly editions in the century after their composition. We are focusing particularly on Denis Sauvage, editor of the first editions of the histories of Philippe de Commynes and Jean Froissart equipped with critical apparatus. As well as being an editor and commentator on medieval histories, Sauvage was a translator from Latin and Italian into French and one of a small number of writers to hold the position of royal historian. He is, therefore, a key figure in the French Renaissance and understanding his contribution will help us understand the way that modern approaches to medieval French literature were shaped by the Renaissance.

Please send your abstracts (250-300 words) by September 20, 2010, to either Dr. Catherine Emerson (catherine.emerson@nuigalway.ie) or Dr. Cristian Bratu (Cristian_Bratu@baylor.edu). Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact the organizers.

La "Base des actes originaux conservés en France antérieurs à 1121" (anciennement dite "Artem") a été mise en ligne sur la plate forme d'édition électronique Telma :

http://www.cn-telma.fr/originaux

Cette base commencée en 1978 n’était jusqu’à présent accessible qu’à Nancy. Grâce à la plate-forme Telma, son contenu est consultable et exploitable sur internet.

Cette publication présente le texte, et bientôt les reproductions photographiques, de l’ensemble des chartes originales antérieures à 1121 conservées en Franc e, soit près de 5000 chartes accessibles en ligne, avec un moteur de recherche par critères et/ou plein texte.

Du diplôme par lequel Dagobert Ier accordait l'immunité à l'abbaye de Saint-Denis en 632 jusqu’à la charte décrivant la donation faite en 1120 au prieuré de Saint-Michel -du-Mont-de-Rouen par la veuve Oda, c’est tout un patrimoine d’actes juridiques écrits qui est enfin disponible.

Ce corpus permet des recherches croisées dans le résumé des chartes selon leur date ou leur lieu de conservation. C’est un outil de lecture et d’investigation qui est mis à la portée des chercheurs spécialisés comme des lecteurs curieux.

Cette édition a été menée à bien grâce à une collaboration entre le Centre de médiévistique Jean Schneider (ERL 7229, Nancy, qui succède à l’équipe Artem) et l'IRHT, avec le soutien du GDR ? Diplomatique ?. Sous la direction scientifique de Cédric Giraud et Benoît Tock, les dernières
relectures ont été effectuées par Jean-Baptiste Renault à Nancy. Côté IRHT, le projet a été mené par le service éditorial et publication électronique (SEPE), animé par Richard Walter, sous la responsabilité technique de Cyril Masset et avec l'aide de Zakaria Abbadi.

Cette base a été éditée électroniquement au format XML en respectant l'initiative TEI (text encoding initiative). Elle est la première édition de la nouvelle version de la plate-forme Telma à venir, soutenue par le TGE Adonis dans le cadre de la politique d’aide aux centres de ressources numériques, pour mettre à disposition des chercheurs des
outils et des plates-formes de numérisation, d’édition, de diffusion et d’exploitation des sources de la recherche.

Un projet similaire est en cours, réunissant au travers d’un projet ANR plusieurs équipes de spécialistes afin de mettre en ligne des chartes concernant la France jusqu’à la fin du XIII^e siècle.

Richard Walter, pour le SEPE-IRHT

XVI International Conference on Patristic Studies
Appel à contributions

Since its inception in 1951 as the First International Conference on Patristic Studies, organized by Frank Leslie Cross (1900-1968), Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford, this four-yearly gathering of scholars from around the world has become a major event for the many disciplines concerned with Patristics. It gives scholars at all stages of their careers the opportunity to engage with a critical, but sympathetic audience.
The XVI International Conference will highlight this past with a workshop to remember former distinguished Directors of the Conference and their impact on Patristic Studies.
The XVI conference will be held from Monday 8th August to Friday 13th August 2011. It will take place, as usual, in the Examination Schools in the High Street, Oxford. Health and safety regulations at the Examination Schools limit the maximum number of delegates to 750.

Deadlines:
Submitted titles with abstracts: 31st March 2011
Submitted workshop titles: 31st May 2011
