Sad news I've only just heard: Albert Derolez has left us. He was 91, and one of the foremost palaeographers and codicologists in the world.

We lost Rosamond McKitterick, a great scholar, a great teacher, and a great human being, far too early. This has been hard to write, but thinking about her, who she was and the person she chose to be can never bring me anything but joy. #medievalsky salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2026/06/15/a...

TWO #FUNDED #MEDIEVAL #LATIN #PHD OPPORTUNITIES Co-supervised by myself and Franck Cinato, with time @cnrs.fr and @unimelb.edu.au #Scholarship includes tuition fees, living allowance, health insurance, and relocation support Get in touch! Project 1: go.unimelb.edu.au/85t2 Project 2:
Brittany to Auxerre: Networks of Knowledge along the Loire and Beyond : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne
<p> Christianity dominates the intellectual and literary culture of the early medieval Latin West, and central to this culture are the biblical commentaries, glosses, and glossaries that facilitated the study and interpretation of scripture. Long dismissed as mere patchworks of patristic sources, these works, both anonymous and attributed, are now recognised as creative and innovative contributions to an interconnected tradition of scholarship — and as invaluable witnesses to the intellectual activity of their times and places of production. This project will investigate the networks of knowledge that connected the major religious and intellectual centres of ninth- and tenth-century Francia, with a particular focus on the Loire and Burgundy regions, home to celebrated houses such as Fleury, Auxerre, Tours, Orléans, and Reims. </p> <p> The successful candidate will take as their starting point the <em>Glossae Floriacenses (currently being edited by the primary supervisor),</em> attested at Fleury and Reims and containing Old Breton and Old English glosses. This work provides compelling early evidence of the regional connections under investigation. The candidate will focus on Genesis as a biblical book that attracted an especially substantial and varied corpus of commentary and glosses, thus making it an ideal case study for identifying textual relationships and moments of creative intervention. In addition to this compilation, the project will survey a wide range of published, in-progress, and as-yet-unstudied exegetical compilations to trace the transmission, adaptation, and innovation of material across this geographically and intellectually rich landscape. </p> <p> The candidates should have a strong knowledge of Latin, and knowledge of palaeography, medieval textual culture, and textual transmission would be an advantage. </p> <p> <strong>Notes to interested applicant</strong>: please attach a statement of interest to your CV document when submitting your Expression of Interest. </p>

Research-Creation in the early Middle Ages: the example of Hibernicus Exul : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne
<p> The pivotal role played by Irish scholars in preserving and transmitting ancient learning during the early Middle Ages is well known even beyond the academy, thanks to popularising works such as ‘How the Irish Saved Civilization’. Yet a great deal of work remains to be done on individual Irish figures working in continental Europe during the eighth to tenth centuries in order to establish more rigorously the Irish contribution. The shadowy figure known as ‘Hibernicus Exul’ (‘the Irish exile’) provides an ideal test-case for this work: the author of thirty-eight Latin poems, on scholarly, political, and comic topics, his works appear in a single manuscript, Vatican Reg. Lat. 2078. This is an important and influential poetic anthology from the heart of the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of intense cultural and intellectual activity in eight- and ninth-century Europe during which the literature and learning of the ancient Graeco-Roman world was rediscovered and concerted efforts were made to standardise and widen access to educational systems, with significant consequences for the intellectual history of western Europe. The PhD student recruited will write the first monograph-length study of Hibernicus Exul, setting his work in the context of the manuscript, addressing the controversial question of his possible identification with the better- known Carolingian scholar Dúngal, and demonstrate how the poet exemplifies the nature of medieval Irish literature, which simultaneously aims to educate and to entertain, and can in many ways be seen as a predecessor of today’s Research-Creation. </p> <p> <strong>Please note below additional requirements when submitting your Expressions of Interest:</strong> </p> <ul> <li>Additional requirements: <ul> <li> <strong>Statement of research interest [max. 1000 words]</strong> </li> <li> <strong>MA in a related field, or equivalent, to be completed by the programme start date.</strong> </li> <li> <strong>Evidence of at least six semesters of Latin, or equivalent, with grades of B+ or higher, or equivalent</strong> </li> </ul> </li> </ul>
