"Medieval Travel Literature and the Classical Tradition" - Dr. Bauer-Zetzmann at Manchester Metropolitan University

11/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Dr. Bauer-Zetzmann from the Department of Classical Philology and Neo-Latin Studies at the University of Innsbruck visited his research colleague Dr. Philip Booth at the Manchester Metropolitan University to discuss their shared research interest in the use of classical learning in Medieval travel accounts. Over and above this, the BritInn-Fellowship was intended to facilitate the planning of future collaborative enterprises which would serve to provide further opportunities for joint research outputs in the years to come.

Before the research visit, Dr. Bauer-Zetzmann and Dr. Booth had already independently collected data on classical references and classical learning in Medieval Latin pilgrimage accounts. Therefore, their first goal during the visit was to discuss the next steps for analysing the data. "This will become a joint publication, a journal article which will serve to investigate the use of classical texts and authors within Latin travel accounts of the late to high middle ages." says Dr. Bauer-Zetzmann.

Moreover, discussions about setting up an interactive database to map the biographies of leading medieval thinkers, teachers, travellers, and pilgrims onto a world map in order to identify possible encounters more easily and systematically, were held during Dr. Bauer-Zetzmann's stay in Manchester. This may evolve into a bigger funding bid in the future. In addition, they explored the holdings of travel accounts in Manchester’s beautiful historical libraries.
The BritInn-Fellowship also served to enhance the academic environment of the department, through the discussions that were held at various moments during the week, but also through Dr. Bauer-Zetzmann’s guest talk on the public of historiography. The guest lecture was held in hybrid format and well-attended by staff and students not only from Manchester Metropolitan University, but also from the University of Manchester and an audience from around the world.
