‘Popularization’ of Knowledge? Circulation, Spill-Over and Adaptation of Scientific and Medical Expertise in Premodern Cultures
International Conference, August 24–26, 2026, London, UCL Campus
This three-day conference, featuring international researchers and taking place as part of the joint research network on late antique knowledge production ("Between Encyclopaedia and Epitome"), is dedicated to exploring the processes of exchange between the expertise of scholars in various disciplines and the interests of broader audiences, as well as the transfer of expertise from specialized texts into other discourses (e.g., religion, law, literature, and visual representation). As a hybrid event, the conference will take place in London (UCL Campus), but it can also be followed online. Registration/RSVP is requested.
Organized by the Department of Jewish Studies and Religious Studies and the research network “Between Encyclopaedia and Epitome” (Tübingen, London, Berlin)
