12th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age
UPenn, 21-23 November 2019
In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 12th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, Hooking Up.
The concept of linked open data is the holy grail of the digital humanities. Yet the problem of how to link information across platforms has existed since civilization began. As knowledge and learning expanded in pre-modern society, the problems associated with collecting, combining, and disseminating information inspired new approaches to and technologies for the material text. In the internet age, we continue to grapple with the same problems and issues. While technologies have changed, the questions remain the same.
This year’s symposium explores the connections between historic and current approaches to data linkage in regard to manuscripts and manuscript research. Hooking Up addresses the topic from a variety of angles and considers how the manuscript book operates as a vehicle for information retrieval and dissemination from the technology of the page and the textual apparatus of a book, to the library, and finally, the internet. We will also consider such questions as how medieval practices of memory shaped information retrieval and gathering, how did the technology of the manuscripts book—in all its many forms—facilitate or hinder information processing, how can medieval solutions inform modern technologies, and how do modern technologies illuminate medieval practices? The program will also feature sessions highlighting projects that are advancing linked data technologies for manuscript researchers, including the T-AP Digging Into Data Challenge project Mapping Manuscript Migrations.

De intellectu: Greek, Arabic, Latin, and Hebrew Texts and Their Influence on Medieval Philosophy. A Tribute to Rafael Ramón Guerrero
University of Porto, 6th-7th February 2020
Philosophy changed radically during the Middle Ages as a result of the translation of a considerable number of texts by Aristotle and his followers from Greek into Arabic, Latin and Hebrew. As an example, epistemological and anthropological questions were rethought and substantively reshaped in the Latin world after the translations of Aristotle’s De anima by James of Venice and William of Moerbeke (from Greek), and by Michael Scot (from Arabic, together with Averroes’s long commentary on it), after it had been successively translated into Syriac and Arabic. This crucial and complex process followed an already long and parallel history of paraphrases and commentaries on this work in Greek, Syriac and Arabic.
The discussion of De anima III.4-5, on the intellect, was conditioned or driven by a large number of texts from different periods. Among those texts are the Greek commentaries or paraphrases on De anima by Alexander of Aphrodisias, Themistius, Simplicius, John Philoponus, and Averroes, alongside independent short treatises, such as Alexander of Aphrodisias’s De intellectu et intellecto, al-Kindī’s De intellectu, al-Fārābī’s De intellectu et intellecto, Averroes’ Epistola de connexione intellectus abstracti cum homine, and his son’s Epistola de intellectu. In several other works “intellect” plays a most pivotal role, such as in Plotinus’s Enneads paraphrased in the Arabic Theologia Aristotelis and in Proclus’s Elementatio Theologica epitomised in the Liber de causis. Other works added to the debate, such as Avicenna’s Liber de anima, al-Ghazālī’s Summa theoricae philosophiae, Averroes’s Long Commentary on De Anima, Maimonides’ Dux neutrorum, Isaac Israeli’s Liber de definicionibus, not to mention texts from the Christian tradition, such as Nemesius of Emesa’s De natura hominis and Sophonias’ commentary on De anima. A similarly radical change occurred in thirteenth-century Jewish philosophy through the translation into Hebrew of many of these same texts, at the same time that a very different change was taking place in Arabic philosophy.
“Nous” – rendered as ‘aql, sekhel, intellectus, and their vernacular derivatives – became a key philosophical concept in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, being intimately connected to a wide range of issues in psychology, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. However, because of its centrality and the manifold conflicting interpretations and solutions accompanying it, “intellect” became a highly contentious problem, one that both authors and commentators tried to disentangle within the context of overlapping Platonic, Aristotelian, Neoplatonic, and Stoic traditions. The ways intellect was conceptualized in this long period influenced and shaped the discussions of fundamental philosophical problems, such as: the body-soul relationship, intuitive and abstract knowledge, mental content, intelligible forms, immortality of the soul, happiness and the highest end of man.
Celebrating the career and the scholarly contributions of Rafael Ramón Guerrero, we welcome a discussion of current research on texts and problems concerning the intellect within the four linguistic spaces in which Aristotelian theories played a central role. We also encourage the submission of contributions centred on the circulation and diffusion of these and other texts which the historical actors in the Greek, Arabic, Latin, and Hebrew spaces used to facilitate, shape, and turn specific debates on the intellect into predominant discourses in the history of philosophy.
Rafael Ramón Guerrero (Granada, 1948), Professor of History of Medieval and Arabic Philosophy in the Facultad de Filosofía of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, along his career he has produced an outstanding contribution to teaching and research in Medieval Philosophy. He obtained his PhD in Madrid in 1979 under the supervision of José Antonio García-Junceda with a thesis entitled Contribución al estudio de la filosofía árabe: Alma e Intelecto como problemas fundamentales de la misma, which served as the basis for his book La recepción árabe del De anima de Aristóteles: Al-Kindi y Al-Farabi (Madrid 1993). This problem remained the focus of his attention in several publications, translations of Arabic philosophers, teaching, conferences, supervision of doctoral theses, and direction of research projects. His work is internationally renowned, and his academic activity is particularly influential in Spain, Portugal, and Latin-America. With this Conference, his students, colleagues and friends wish to honour the Professor, the Academic, the Scholar.

Call for Papers - International Meeting
Theories of Vision:
Augustine of Hippo and the Augustinian Tradition
November 14th and 15th, 2019
https://ifilosofia.up.pt/activities/augustine-vision-2019
Menti hoc est intelligere quod sensui videre (De ord., 2: 3, 10) - Understanding is to the mind what perceiving is to the bodily sense. This simple sentence -from one of Augustine’s first dialogues- points out one of the keystones of his metaphysical system. In Augustine’s theory of knowledge, sensorial vision is the model for intellectual vision, and both are correlated. This theory is an emblematic part of Augustine’s philosophical project and it is based on Augustine’s belief that all beings, their inner structure and their external links are formed by and committed to a relational framework. Hence, this framework is, unsurprisingly, also the basis of Augustine’s explanation of human knowledge.
However, Augustine’s theorizing and questioning required innumerable questions that became increasingly complex, both in the context of his own work and in the wider philosophical tradition of which it formed a part. Here are some of the key issues:
How is it possible to see material bodies by means of a non-material vision? Is the non-material vision still a bodily vision? If it isn’t, how is it possible to validate the human knowledge of the bodily structure of the world? If this immaterial vision of material bodies is possible by means of imagination and memory, how can we differentiate between imaginary visual experiences in the state of vigil and those had while dreaming? Do they share the same origin? Is there any relationship between imagination and reason, and between both and the intellect? Is light, in the Augustinian view, a requirement for knowledge of the corporeal world and does it also illuminate the intelligible forms in the mind? What is the structure of the human knowledge when producing physical science? Is it the same for pure theoretical sciences, like mathematics and geometry? And what is the role of God in the process? Is he the supreme intelligible and the light of lights that illuminates the inner self? If so, is it possible for humans to produce a natural science of God? Furthermore, how is it possible for humans, in the beatific state of matter, to see the invisible God? Is it, in the end, wholly transcendent to humans and the created world?
This Meeting aims to offer a broader perspective on Augustine’s theory of vision and its reception throughout the Middle Ages. As P. O. Lewry said about De spiritu phantastico of Robert Kilwardby, the Augustinian approach to the internal senses and their relationship with the external perception was enriched with Aristotelian elements. This task pursued a sort of balance between the “internal perception” of ontological notions and the “perceptual” influence of the divine light, of which there were several examples in the Middle Ages, particularly after the translation of the Aristotelian and Avicennian works on the soul.
Topics for discussion:
- Augustine’s conception of the different types of vision and the Augustinian notion of the “Eye of the mind”.
- Augustine and the Medieval notion of internal senses.
- The Medieval reception of De quantitate animae, De genesi ad litteram XII and De Trinitate VIII-IX.
- Visual experience and the comprehension of geometrical and linguistic representations.
- The relation between vision and other senses.
- Sensorial vision and the faculties of the soul.
- Visual experience in dreams and the states of imagination.
On the 14th and 15th of November 2019 it will be held at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto (Portugal) the International Meeting "Theories of Vision: Augustine of Hippo and the Augustinian Tradition", organized by the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Porto.
