Spreading the Light: Mapping the Vernacular Elucidarium in Medieval England
Sarah James from the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies has secured funding from the AHRC for a major two-year project focused on the vernacular Elucidarium in medieval England. The Elucidarium was written in Latin in around 1100, and is a text of basic practical theology which rapidly achieved widespread and lasting popularity, being translated into numerous European vernaculars. This project will explore the production and transmission of the text and its manuscripts in English, Anglo-Norman and continental French from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries.
