On 15 and 16 February the Languages of Early Medieval Charters team was delighted to welcome Dr Kathryn Lowe from the University of Glasgow to the Basque Country for a stimulating and wide-ranging two-day workshop.

Dr Zeller […] Yesterday, Professor Dame Jinty Nelson (London) delivered a lecture in Vitoria on ‘Language-use in Charlemagne’s Empire’. Professor Nelson selected three ‘postcards’ from the Frankish empire under Charlemagne, each of which illustrates how vernacular language could be harnessed and deployed to great effect – a royal diploma enacting a new political relationship between Charlemagne and the […] Last week, Dr Charles Insley (University of Manchester) came to Vitoria to speak to us on ‘Languages of Boundaries and Boundaries of Languages in Cornish Charters, 900-1100’, in which he analysed language-use in a small collection of Anglo-Saxon charters for the region of Cornwall (southwest England). These documents are marked by traces of the Brittonic […] Yesterday we welcomed Professor Elizabeth Tyler (University of York) to Vitoria, who delivered a fascinating and wide-ranging lecture on ‘Writing Universal History in Eleventh-Century England: Cotton Tiberius B.I, German Imperial History-writing and Vernacular Lay Literacy’.
