Karlsruhe Bede Conference

The Karlsruhe Bede in Context: Cod. Aug. Perg. 167The Making of a Ninth Century Manuscript

6-7 February 2025

 Neil Lecture Theatre, Trinity Long Room Hub, Trinity College Dublin

The so-called Karlsruhe Bede is an Irish manuscript written in the ninth century, formerly held at Reichenau Abbey and now in the Badische Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe. It featured in numerous publications over the last century, ranging from papers and books on palaeography, codicology, Bede studies, calendar studies, medieval glossing, medieval knowledge networks, and Computus. This conference will bring together researchers from different fields within medieval studies to look at this artefact from all possible angles, to place it in a broader context and to try to answer, among other things, the still debated question of its origin.
