SUMMARY:CAMPS: 8th International Conference on the Science of Computus in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages\, 17-19 June 2021
DESCRIPTION:8th International Conference on the Science of Computus in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages\, Galway 17-19 June 2021 \nSince 2006\, the Moore Institute of the National University of Ireland in Galway has hosted\, under the direction of Dáibhí Ó Cróinín\, a biannual conference on the science of computus in the Middle Ages. Computus – the mathematics required to calculate the date of Easter\, and related topics – straddles the fields of mathematics and astronomy\, biblical interpretation and cosmology\, empirical astronomical observation\, and the perennial quest to understand the concepts of time and time-Reckoning. \nThe core period covered by the Galway Conference stretches from the beginnings of Easter calculations in the third century to the introduction of Arabic and Greek science in the Latin West in the 12th century\, but papers on the reckoning of time and its cultural context in the later Middle Ages have also always been welcome. Each conference has had a special theme (e.g.\, the formation of computus in Late Antiquity; the rise of prognostications in the early Middle Ages; the revolution of computus in the 11th and 12th centuries; computus in the Carolingian Age; computus and the vernacular; etc.). \nThe upcoming conference will start on 17 June with a special panel addressing the following fundamental conceptual question: \nWhat is early medieval Latin science? \nWe are very happy to confirm that the following scholars have accepted to present in this panel: Faith Wallis (Montreal)\, John J. Contreni (Purdue)\, Philipp Nothaft (Dublin)\, James T. Palmer (St. Andrews). \n18 June and 19 June will be devoted to thematic sessions covering topics of computistical interest from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern Period. The conference will end on 19 June with a show-case of three websites recently developed as part of the following three projects: \nIFCE – The Irish Foundation of Carolingian Europe: the case of calendrical science (funded by the Irish Research Council Laureate Programme) \nIRCABRITT – Ireland and Carolingian Brittany: Texts and Transmission (funded by the Irish Research Council Laureate Programme) \nInnovating Knowledge – Isidore’s Etymologiae in the Carolingian Period (funded by the Nederlandse Wetenschapelijke Organisatie) \nRegistration: \nThis conference will be held digitally through Zoom. A link will be sent to all registered participants a day in advance\, for each conference day.
