Description

Our first panel, “Ovid in the Classroom,” invites an investigation into the teaching practices of medieval schools, both primary and advanced. The material transmission of Ovid’s corpus, specifically the traditions of glosses and commentaries found in both manuscripts and print, allows us insight into the diversity of classroom instruction throughout the Middle Ages. These differences, however, occur not only at the grammatical, logical or rhetorical level but can also point to divergent constructions of identity, gender and society. How was Ovid taught?
