Session II (11:45am-12:45pm) of 🌍Global Glossing: Transnational Commentary in the Later Middle Ages🌍 will feature the papers of Lucie Doležalová and @rebeccamenmuir.bsky.social [1/2]

An advert for the SSMLL annual day conference 2025, 'Global Glossing: Transnational Commentary in the Later Middle Ages'. This advert highlights Session II: 11:45am-12:45pm, which features ‘Nescio corrigere: Scribes' Comments in Late Medieval Bohemia’ by
Lucie Doležalová (Charles University, Prague) and ‘Convincing via Commentary: The Glosses to the Pseudo-Ovidian De Vetula’ by
Rebecca Menmuir (Lincoln College, Oxford).

Lucie Doležalová is a full professor of Medieval Latin at Charles University Prague. Focusing primarily on late medieval manuscript culture, she has edited a number of previously unknown texts and published on the art of memory, mnemonics, obscurity, and the reception of the Bible. Her most recent monograph discusses late-medieval ‘graphomania’: Passionate Copying in Late Medieval Bohemia: The Case of Crux de Telč (1434–1504) (Prague, 2021; distributed by the University of Chicago Press). Further, together with Francesco Stella and Danuta Shanzer she edited Latin Literatures of Medieval and Early Modern Times in Europe and Beyond: A Millennium Heritage (John Benjamins, 2024). Lucie has a major project in progress, Innovation and Inertia: The End of Medieval Scribes (THEEND), which is being supported by the Czech Ministry of Education with a view to further major funding being sought from the ERC. She and her team are developing a relationship with St Andrews, and on the Friday afternoon before the conference a ‘proof of concept’ workshop will be held to assist the team’s preparations for a major ERC bid.

Rebecca Menmuir is Darby Fellow in English at Lincoln College, Oxford. She is interested in medieval classical reception, glossing and commentaries, and forgeries, primarily focusing on Ovid and Statius. Her monograph Medieval Responses to Ovid’s Exile is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press, and she has edited a collection on Authenticity in Medieval and Early Modern Literature, forthcoming with MIP/De Gruyter. Recently she has co-published the glosses to the pseudo-Ovidian De vetula, and argued for the authenticity of the pseudo-Ovidian Nux. She is currently working on medieval Ovidian forgeries and postmedieval Chaucerian forgeries.
