Description

In this traditional, three-paper panel, we will explore topics that trace Hiberno-Latin influences on other traditions (for example, Anglo- and Carolingian Latin, or various Insular and Continental vernaculars) and those that examine Hiberno-Latin literature for its own sake. Biblical exegesis, dream narratives, encyclopedic notes and homiletics will be sources of scholarly discussion, as will the definitions of “Hiberno-Latin” and the so-called “symptoms” used to identify Latin texts of Irish production both within Ireland and in Irish monastic foundations abroad.
