The Revival of Cassiodorus’ Variae in the High Middle Ages (10th-11th century)
Dário Internullo
This paper is based on a number of reuses Cassiodorus’ Variae that have been found in notarial documents written Rome and Lazio between the tenth eleventh century. Given manuscript tradition becomes visible only from twelfth-thirteenth centuries onwards, these are good starting point to reflect specific question: what were practical contingent motivations that, Lazio, stimulated intellectual elites research reuse Variae? By following an alternative path evidence, it thus possible better identify contexts preservation, circulation, use underlying more evident late medieval revival.
