In medieval Europe, the Church held enormous political and economic power. How did critics point out the flaws of such a dominant institution? And why would writing a letter in the voice of the devil be a good strategy? This week, we sit down with Dr. Roberto Lambertini, Professor of Medieval History at the University of Macerata, to talk about how political ideas were discussed, parodied, and preserved in the Middle Ages. We discuss his research into the little-known Cistercian theologian Pierre Ceffons and his provocative writings, including the so-called Epistola Luciferi ad Cleros (The Devil's Letter to the Clergy). Dr. Lambertini shares how he first encountered medieval political philosophy, how lessons can be shaped by local history, and what 14th century academic debates might teach us today. We also hear how a tiny Italian town became the (imagined) capital of Charlemagne's empire.

Beschreibung

Meeting in the Middle Ages is the Medieval Institute of Notre Dame's podcast. Our goal is to answer the questions "what do medievalists do, and how do they do it?" Episodes—a new one each month—are built around informal conversations between our hosts, Ben and Will, and medievalist scholars and graduate students. We discuss how they became medievalists, what led them to their current research, the resources they use, and how they use them.
