- Summary:
- Medievalists explore communities of learning outside the institutions of formal instruction such as monasteries, cathedral schools, and universities. Their topics include religious diversity and the philosophical translation of 12th-century Toledo, nature and the representation of divine creation in the 12th century, the exchange of ideas about music in Paris about 1270-1304, whether Christine de Pizan was an isolated individual or member of a feminine community of learning, and ritual and music at the Council of Florence.
