Abstract

Medievalists and Renaissance specialists contribute to this compelling volume examining how and why the classics of Greek and Latin culture were taught in various Western European curricula (including in England, Scotland, France, Germany, and Italy) from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries. By analysing some of the commentaries, glosses, and paraphrases of these classics that were deployed in medieval and Renaissance classrooms, and by off ering greater insight into premodern pedagogic practice, the chapters here emphasize the 'pragmatic' aspects of humanist study. The volume proposes that the classics continued to be studied in the medieval and Renaissance periods not simply for their cultural or 'ornamental' value, but also for utilitarian reasons, for 'life lessons'. Because the volume goes beyond analysing the educational manuals surviving from the premodern period and attempts to elucidate the teaching methodology of the premodern period, it provides anuanced insight into the formation of the premodern individual.

Abstract

Theodor Buchmann, better known as Theodore Bibliander (1505-64), held the chair of Old Testament at the theological school in Zurich as the immediate successor to Huldrych Zwingli. A Hebraist and Orientalist who edited a Latin translation of the Qur'an, Bibliander professed a well-articulated universalist theology based on and around the knowledge of languages in general, and of Oriental languages in particular. In his treatise De ratione omnium linguarum et literarum commentarius (Zurich, 1548), Bibliander sought to promote the contemporary notions of harmonia linguarum and concordia mundi, as well as the study of Hebrew, as an essential means to achieving a universal salvation. The present volume is an annotated translation of this work.
