Practices of rewriting and mouvance are central to medieval culture, but have been neglected by contemporary scholarship. This paper highlights how collaborative forms of writing such as religious song engage with complex theological thought, opening up a discourse from which the laity had previously been excluded. Using forms which defy conventional author-based aesthetic norms, these songs explore poetic practices which are both collective and inclusive.
With the preservation of health an age-old concern for humanity, guides to healthy living based on humoral theory were among the earliest texts of medieval school medicine to be translated from Latin into the vernacular. Subject of this study is the development of a German technical language for dietetics from the late thirteenth to the late fifteenth century as evidenced in Hiltgart von Hürnheim's translation of the 'Secretum secretorum', the anonymous translation of the regimen in the 'Breslauer Arzneibuch', and the four independent translations of Konrad von Eichstätt's 'Regimen sanitatis'. Special emphasis is put on a number of 'termini technici' from humoral theory and the way the various translators tackled these terms.
