25 mars 2013 : Jornada internacional de estudos antonianos : Stº António de Lisboa

The workshop aim is to present the most recent results of research on saint Anthony of Lisbon. It will focus on different aspects of his figure, from life and work to devotion in the Middle Ages and in popular culture. In a one day workshop, the participants will present either the results of the newest historiography, moving basically from the years that followed the big congress Pensamento e Testemunho in 1995, either to introduce new topics for the study of Saint Anthony’s figure. Moreover, the participants are asked to activate, or better reactivate a connection among their institutions and the Gabinete de Filosofia Medievale of Porto to improve the internationalization of this field of study in a prospective of enlargement of common interests.

Some of Leiden University Library’s most precious possessions will be on display at Museum De Lakenhal from 9 March until 30 June 2013. Among these will be  a number of medieval manuscripts, like the famous Leiden Aratea, produced around 840 at the court of Louis  the Pious, Charlemagne’s son, and an Evangeliarium from a few decades later, written in the Benedictine abbey of St. Amand. A Dutch (Walewein) and a German chivalric novel (Wigalois), both from the fourteenth century, will be on view alongside books of hours from the fifteenth century and Enguerrand de Monstrelet’s history of the Burgundian and French wars in the first half of the fifteenth century, a splendid manuscript of probable Bruges origin, with miniatures by the Master of the Prayer Book. The classics are represented by the seminal Lucretius manuscript from the ninth century and a luxurious copy of Virgil’s Opera from the fifteenth. These are accompanied by manuscripts from Persia, Indonesia, Birma, China, Japan and other Asian countries, next to printed books, maps, drawings and photographs from the library’s collections.
