Perpetual Preys: Pursuing the Bonacon across Space and Time

seemingly disparate sources about a particular animal behaviour—spraying their pursuers
when chased. Through the diligence of medieval Latin authors, the classic Bonnacon of
Phrygia, as seen on the Hereford Mappamundi for example, is shown to have begotten a
range of curious creatures such as the misplaced onager of Gervase of Tilbury, and the
ferocious Bohemian loni, first appearing in Bartholomaeus Anglicus’s thirteenth-century
encyclopedia, and becoming indelible from Bohemia’s image for centuries to come. The
increasingly complex afterlife of these passages, especially a number of similar quadrupeds
in works by Albertus Magnus, Thomas of Cantimpré, and Giovanni Marignoli, show an even
more diffuse picture whereby cognate animals proliferate by splitting and merging existing
passages with abandon. At a glance, these animals seem to have little in common, but the
intertextual relationship between texts and images about them sheds light to more
commonalities than their odd defence mechanism. On the lexical level, nuanced
discrepancies in word use and phrasing are used to explain some of the trajectories detected
in descriptions of the bonacon and its textual offspring. Finally, overviewing a range of
variations, it becomes clear that the beast of many names and forms is but an adaptable
cultural construct, whose enduring popularity stems not only from its scatological appeal but
its versatility in various contexts and genres. Moving from Solinus to Early Modern
encyclopedias; moving from Anatolia to the “northern provinces” of medieval Europe;
moving their projectile attack from the backside to the front; and moving across genres and
formats in textual transmission, these animals are certainly dynamic in more ways than one.

Sitting on the Fence: Matthew Paris’s “Mongol Letters” at the Intersection of History and Literature
The paper examines the use of original documents in different parts of Matthew Paris’s world hist... more The paper examines the use of original documents in different parts of Matthew Paris’s world history, the Chronica majora and its attachments, composed in St Albans, England, in the thirteenth century. With special attention to contemporaneous events, specifically the 1241-42 Mongol invasion in Eastern Europe, Matthew’s access to various documents originating in mainland Europe will be the subject of detailed analysis based on his text and the way he organised information in various parts of his work. Besides a brief survey of original Mongol-related material collected in the so-called Liber additamentorum, clerical letters from Hungary and Poland that were preserved for posterity only in these English manuscripts, the main focus of the paper is the chronicler’s strategy to use similar letters woven into the narrative of his world history. The accompanying illustrations also constitute an integral part of these narrative accounts. The paper sheds light on the recurring narrative pattern that Matthew Paris deploys to increase the impression of authenticity and create a rhythmical prose that informs and entertains his readers. A foray into the epistemological questions at the intersection of history and literature, the paper examines the limits of understanding and interpreting historiography as literature, while maintaining the possibility to reconstruct historical and social realities on the basis of the very same texts.

Monastic Memories and Narratives: Remembering, Recording, Re-Interpreting
Wednesday 4 July 2018: 14.15-15.45
Medieval monasteries have played a crucial role in keeping memories of events, traditions, and religious practices. Therefore, medieval studies has always focused on the medieval texts related to the monastic communities, particularly in the context of monastic libraries and scriptoria. At the same time, less attention has been given to the importance of monastic topoi, created narratives and memories. The session focuses on texts created in monastic milieu, which are not simple records of events, but they represent concepts of interpretations influenced by monastic traditions. They often serve a particular agenda or harmonise with the special local conditions of the monastic communities. The papers discuss, how language, written culture or narrative strategies serve these particular monastic concepts. They also focus on the religious and non-ecclesiastic sources of these monastic texts and the interactions created between the religious community and the secular world. Therefore, they represent a special category in the study of medieval memory.

Medieval Animals, II: Creating New Kinds of Beasts
Tuesday 4 July 2017: 16.30-18.00
Medieval literature offers a wide spectrum of creations of kinds and types of animals that mainly play an important role in symbolic or metaphorical discourses. The session tries to offer some examples of this kind of fauna that can certainly be seen as part of medieval 'reality'.
The Armchair Travellers’ Guide to Eastern Europe: Patterns of Local Information about the Region in Medieval England
A surprisingly rich and varied corpus of disparate passages about contemporaneous Eastern Europe ... more A surprisingly rich and varied corpus of disparate passages about contemporaneous Eastern Europe survives scattered across a range of medieval English works. While most were arrived in the British Isles from the continent in the form of episodes of ‘ready-made’ imported histories, such as Martinus Polonus’s popular Chronicon in the latter half of the thirteenth century, some were recorded by English authors from local sources or informants. Both types of information were used and re-used by subsequent authors, but it is the latter that shed more light on medieval English perceptions and knowledge about the region. Among the more well-known historiographical examples, we find Matthew Paris’s Chronica majora and Liber additamentorum, which preserve original letters from the Mongol invasion-stricken countries of Hungary and Poland. With regard to information about the population of the region, Bartholomaeus Anglicus’s encyclopaedia, the De proprietatibus rerum, is renowned for its unique passages about Slavic peoples and the natural resources of their countries.
In my paper, I will explore how much of the Eastern European material in English written sources was first-hand local information, and what type of information these passages conveyed about the region. I will also address the question of availability and dissemination of this type of information in medieval England. My conclusions, based on surviving manuscript and bibliographical evidence, place into context the some of the most often-cited passages about Eastern Europe, and thus reveal the extent of geographical areas covered, the themes and nature of first-hand local information, and the degree of their dissemination in thirteenth-century England.

The figure of the monster in medieval culture functions as a vehicle for a range of intellectual ... more The figure of the monster in medieval culture functions as a vehicle for a range of intellectual and spiritual inquiries, from questions of language and representation to issues of moral, theological, and cultural value. Monstrosity is bound up with questions of body image and deformity, nature and knowledge, hybridity, and horror. To explore a culture's attitudes to the monstrous is to comprehend one of its most important symbolic tools. (Bettina Bildhauer and Robert Mills, The Monstrous Middle Ages, 2003) While we will be looking at medieval European monsters and monster lore, as well as modern scholarship that grapples with them, it is inevitable (and encouraged) to venture further afield temporally and geographically. Reading assignments include medieval saints' lives, romances, sermons, chronicles, and visual narratives of monsters and heroes in manuscripts and maps. Blended course, synchronous online classes with some asynchronous elements. Learning outcomes By the end of this course you will • be familiar with key theories of monstrosity • apply that knowledge to the interpretation of literary and visual sources • be able to analyze how texts that engage with monstrosity, and reflect cultural values and the boundaries of human identity • break through the alterity of medieval primary sources and discover their cultural relevance through a universal theme • find ways in which studying medieval literature and literary criticism can help you improve your analysis of texts and become a better writer • learn a lot about cool monsters To accommodate asynchronous learning during the pandemic, all seminars are accompanied by detailed Powerpoint presentations, available for the entire duration of the course. Basic netiquette to be observed during Zoom classes. Please honor the classroom space by actively exhibiting respect and compassion for all races, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and economic backgrounds. Please be informed that the seminars will be recorded by the Department of Medieval Studies and shared via Panopto where you and all other participants of the course can watch it for one week. After that date, the recording will be deleted. During the recording your image or voice might be recorded, the data processing resulting from the recording is based on CEU's legitimate interest. The Department of Medieval Studies publishes the recording of the lecture with no modifications.

Monastic Memories and Narratives: Remembering, Recording, Re-Interpreting
Wednesday 4 July 2018: 14.15-15.45
Medieval monasteries have played a crucial role in keeping memories of events, traditions, and religious practices. Therefore, medieval studies has always focused on the medieval texts related to the monastic communities, particularly in the context of monastic libraries and scriptoria. At the same time, less attention has been given to the importance of monastic topoi, created narratives and memories. The session focuses on texts created in monastic milieu, which are not simple records of events, but they represent concepts of interpretations influenced by monastic traditions. They often serve a particular agenda or harmonise with the special local conditions of the monastic communities. The papers discuss, how language, written culture or narrative strategies serve these particular monastic concepts. They also focus on the religious and non-ecclesiastic sources of these monastic texts and the interactions created between the religious community and the secular world. Therefore, they represent a special category in the study of medieval memory.
Medieval Animals, II: Creating New Kinds of Beasts
Tuesday 4 July 2017: 16.30-18.00
Medieval literature offers a wide spectrum of creations of kinds and types of animals that mainly play an important role in symbolic or metaphorical discourses. The session tries to offer some examples of this kind of fauna that can certainly be seen as part of medieval 'reality'.
In my paper, I will explore how much of the Eastern European material in English written sources was first-hand local information, and what type of information these passages conveyed about the region. I will also address the question of availability and dissemination of this type of information in medieval England. My conclusions, based on surviving manuscript and bibliographical evidence, place into context the some of the most often-cited passages about Eastern Europe, and thus reveal the extent of geographical areas covered, the themes and nature of first-hand local information, and the degree of their dissemination in thirteenth-century England.
