Combien de littératures latines médiévales ?

| École nationale des chartes - Institut de France , Paris

There are four intersecting approaches to medieval Latin literature: Latinists now study the life of Latin in its entirety from both a linguistic and an aesthetic point of view; Romance specialists are interested in Latin as the point of origin, and ethnologists as a medium of transmission; historians are beginning to consider the development of narrative and its poetization as a historical subject in its own right; historians of intellectual life appreciate the cultural transmission through the refinements and transformations of a textual heritage that is constantly being reconsidered.

Keywords: Latin literature, classical heritage, text transmission, orality, aesthetics, anonymity, allegory
