1. Survey of the Institute

1.1. Goals

The overarching goal of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-‐Latin Studies (LBI) is to elaborate a guiding thesis which can be put like this: ‘Neo-‐Latin literature significantly contributed to the emergence of modern Europe; it helped to shape society and mind-‐sets and sometimes even anticipated new directions of thinking in various fields.’ This dynamic and progressive significance of Neo-‐Latin literature is still undervalued and underresearched in today’s academia. The LBI’s mission is to focus on that significance and raise awareness of it beyond the relatively small field of Neo-‐Latinists. Apart from scholarly goals strictly speaking, the LBI also aims at a wider acceptance and recognition of Neo-‐Latin as discipline in today’s research structures.

Our goal for 2013, the third year of the LBI, was to achieve steady progress in writing our planned monographs and editions (due end of 2014) and smaller publications (which appear as we go). Moreover, we wished to continue to involve the early modern research community by organizing a number of international conferences (see below 3.2). We also worked towards passing the review of the LBI scheduled for 6 February 2014.

1.2. Budget figures

The total funding of the LBI for years 1–4 is about € 2,662,000 euros, with c. € 1,688,000 coming from the LBG and € 973,000 from the partners (mostly Innsbruck University). The projected expenses for 2013 were € 820,803; the actual expenses € 767,626.

In addition to our regular funding, we had two successful bids for external funding in 2013 (see 3.1 below). The LBI’s share of a Crossing Borders Grant of the Republic of Croatia is € 47,000, to be used for a 50% position. The Tyrolean Science Fund (TWF) has granted € 10,570 for the project Latini Textus Tyrolenses – Digital Library of Latin Texts from Tyrol, which feeds into Croatica et Tirolensia.

1.3. Partners

The partners of the LBI have remained the same as in 2011 and 2012: the Leopold-‐Franzens-‐Universität Innsbruck (LFU; http://www.uibk.ac.at/); the Albert-‐Ludwig Universität Freiburg (ALU; http://www.uni-‐freiburg.de/); the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna (ÖNB; http://www.onb.ac.at/); and the Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche in Rome / the Vatican (PCSS; http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pont_committees/scienstor/it/default.htm).

1.4. Boards

The statutes of the LBG specify the constitution of two boards overseeing the activities of the LBI: the Board of Partners and the Scientific Advisory Board.

annual report 2013

The Board of Partners consists of five members, one nominated by each partner organization and one nominated by the LBG. The current representatives are Mag. Claudia Lingner (Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft), Prof. Manfred Kienpointner (University of Innsbruck), Prof. Bernhard Zimmermann (University of Freiburg), Dr. Andreas Fingernagel (Austrian National Library), and Prof. Werner Maleczek (Pontificio Comitato di Scienze Storiche). The Board of Partners makes the most fundamental decisions about the LBI (e.g. concerning the integration of new partner institutions after the set-‐up of the LBI). It meets twice a year (2013: 24 June and 25 November). It discusses the progress reports by the director and evaluates any reports of the Scientific Advisory Board.

The Scientific Advisory Board consists of five expert members, two nominated by the LBG and two nominated jointly by the partner institutions, while the fifth member is elected by the four others. The current representatives are Prof. Peter Marx (University of Cologne), Prof. Henk Nellen (Huygens Institute, The Hague), Prof. Dirk Sacré (University of Leuven), Prof. Robert Seidel (University of Frankfurt), and Prof. Hermann Wiegand (University of Heidelberg). The Advisory Board advises the director and the researchers in their strategies, widens the scholarly network of the LBI, and monitors its scholarly activity. The board meets once a year, starting with a constitutional meeting in which the LBI, its research programme and personnel are presented in detail. The third meeting of the advisory board was held in Innsbruck, on 6/2 February 2014.

1.5. Staff and staff development

Compared to the end of 2012, the line-‐up of the LBI has seen only one change: we hired MMag. Simon Wirthensohn for two years (2013–14) to work in the programme line Religion. In addition, the fellowship programme of the LBI was thriving: all in all we had seven fellows at the LBI in the course of 2013 (for their names and projects see below). A number of staff members have received awards, fellowships, and posts: F. Schaffenrath is still on leave with his Alexander-‐von-‐Humboldt-‐Stipendium für erfahrene Wissenschaftler (from 1/11/12–30/4/14). W. Barton stayed at the Collegium for Advanced Studies of the University of Helsinki, Finland, from 1/2–30/4/13. O. Margolis was appointed 50% Lecturer at the History Faculty of Oxford University (where he will be based as of now). Accordingly, he reduced his employment at the LBI from 100% to 50%. S. Tilg was offered a full professorship for Latin literature in Freiburg im Breisgau. He accepted and will leave the LBI in September 2014.

1.6. Infrastructure

The LBI is housed in the ‘Zentrum für alte Kulturen’ of Innsbruck University (Langer Weg 11, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria). It occupies a quarter of the fourth floor and is clearly visible as an institute of its own. The LBI has reached agreements with Innsbruck University which allows it to share the normal technical facilities and administrative processes established at the University (IT, telephone, post, printing/scanning). In December 2013 the LBI also signed contracts with the university library, which stipulate the integration of the LBI library into the university library (with our collection kept in close distance and in a single room) and give LBI members access to the university library even outside the opening hours.

1.7. Highlights of the year

In 2013 the LBI published its first conference volume:

S. Tilg and I. Walser (eds), Der neulateinische Roman als Medium seiner Zeit – The Neo-‐Latin Novel in Its Time, Tübingen: Narr 2013 (NeoLatina 21).

This book collects written elaborations of the papers presented at a conference organized by the LBI and its partner ALU in June 2012. Although being ‘just’ a conference volume, this publication breaks new ground in that it is the first book ever (apart from the odd edition of single texts) dealing with the unduly neglected genre of the Neo-‐Latin novel. This fascinating genre has enjoyed not only great popularity in its own time, but proved even influential for the further development of the novel in European vernacular literatures. The volume (which contains contributions in German, English and French) aims to reach an international and interdisciplinary audience across the field of early modern studies.

Another highlight were the four conferences organized by the LBI in 2013 (see 3.2) of which Latinity in the Post-‐Classical World (10–13 April) clearly had the most picturesque setting (the Campo Santo Teutonico in the Vatican) and the most prominent line-‐up of speakers (including such luminaries as Prof. Anthony Grafton from Princeton University). This conference was co-‐organized, with the support of the PCSS, by our own O. Margolis and by G. Barrett from St John’s College, Oxford.

1.8. Public relations

The LBI designed and printed leaflets, which introduce the institute and its approach to a larger audience. The leaflets are available in German and in English, and they are distributed at all LBI related events.

Three of our fellows (M. Favaro, S. Brammall, J. Meyer) were portrayed in the section ‘Zwischenstopp in Innsbruck’ of the biannual Zukunft Forschung: Magazin für Wissenschaft und Forschung der Universität Innsbruck (no. 2, 2013, p. 48).

A meeting with Robert Renzler, the general secretary of the Austrian Alpenverein, resulted in a cooperation of PL 3 with the Austrian Alpenverein (with its ca. 450,000 members, the Alpenverein is one of the largest Associations in Austria). The LBI now has a presence on the website of the Alpenverein (http://www.alpenverein.at/portal/museum-‐kultur/alpenverein-‐und-‐kultur/index.php). Plans for further joint projects include the publication of an anthology of mountain-‐related texts (with many Neo-‐Latin examples) and a contribution to the Alpenverein’s members magazine.

Episodes of the Neo-‐Latin Podcast are published at varying intervals on the LBI website and on iTunes (http://neolatin.lbg.ac.at/news/podcast).

2. Research: contents and results

2.1. Projects

Guided by its overall thesis (see above, 1.1), the LBI pursues its research in broad ‘programme lines’ (PLs): three thematic PLs dedicated to politics, religion, and the ‘history of mentality’ (indebted to the French ‘histoire des mentalités’); plus a more general, fourth PL dedicated to the development of basic Neo-‐Latin tools such as editions and literary histories. The broadness of the thematic categories allows for a certain flexibility in accommodating new results and perhaps unexpected avenues of research. Smaller and concrete ‘projects’ within these programme lines were designed for the specific and manageable day-‐by-‐day research with limited time and personnel. The choice of these projects (two per programme line, with the first pursued in years 1–4, the second in years 5–7) was made on the basis of their innovatory potential and preliminary studies and interests. The current outline of PLs and projects is as follows:

PL 1: Neo-‐Latin and Politics (Key-‐concept: Political identity) With the rise of nations, nation states, and national languages in the early modern period, Latin, the traditional international language of Europe, found itself caught up in complex negotiations of political identity. Both in the search for a common European identity and the development of modern national identities, Latin was not only a significant medium of discussion but also a topic of considerable emotional weight in its own right. This PL aims to unravel the role of Latin in this process on a number of levels.

The Habsburg empire Given the precarious cohesion of the multinational Habsburg Empire, Latin was from the 16th to the 19th centuries not only a highly useful lingua franca but also a privileged means of expressing imperial identity on the one hand, and national (and partly also regional) identities on the other. For this project we analyse its role in this context in two particularly rewarding yet hitherto largely neglected groups of texts, one from the belles-‐lettres, another mainly from administration, political theory and journalism. In the first group we examine the construction of political identities in novels and epics, in the second we trace the discussion over the ‘correct’ language in the nationalist movements esp. in the Kingdom of Hungary at the end of the 18th century.

European Identities This project will study the construction of political identities no longer primarily in the Habsburg Empire, but in the whole of Europe: it will directly and generally confront the issue of a supranational European identity by tracing the concept of Europe as a (geographical, political, cultural, religious) unity in a large variety of Neo-‐Latin texts, from historiography to travelogues to treatises; it will take a closer look at the connections between language and political identity by investigating the European-‐wide emergence of grammars of national languages (often written in Latin); and it aims to continue our focus on the Kingdom of Hungary and examine, as a European case study, the symbolic value of Latin in education and identity-‐constructions of that complex and unstable region from the 18th to the early 20th century.

PL 2: Neo-‐Latin and Religion (Key-‐Concept: Religious PR) Although Latin remains the official language of the Catholic church today, in the early modern period it had an even greater and more varied importance for religious experience and practice, especially within Christianity. Latin’s reach extended from theology and liturgy to Christian education and the types of personal devotion that found expression, for instance, in calendars of saints and hymn books. In terms of communication, Latin could be used on a more theoretical and intellectual (as e.g. in theological treatises) or on a more emotional and entertaining level (as e.g. in theatre or novels). The former use is aimed at a small group of specialists; the latter at a potentially large audience. The research of the LBI in this PL focuses on that latter use of Latin as a medium of religious ‘public relations’ ante litteram. Christian institutions and individuals were on the forefront of developing such PR in Latin. They combined a general inclination towards Latin (as time-‐honoured language of Christianity) with an intended emotional impact to further religious disciplination, edification, and exhortation during the times of the Protestant and Catholic Reforms. Religious literature, therefore, seems a very suitable field to study the phenomenon of Latin PR in the early modern period. An emphasis is on original and innovative genres/media/bodies of texts/individual works which either influenced actual debates or enriched the range of literary and cultural expression (e.g. by re-‐interpreting traditional genres, by creating new ones, or by providing models for vernacular literature).

Catholic school drama in the 18th century Catholic school drama, for which Jesuit drama was the model and the most flourishing manifestation, was one of the most successful and wide-‐reaching forms of religious PR in the early modern period. While it is comparatively well studied for the 16th and 17th centuries, however, its late manifestations in the 18th century are barely known, let alone properly understood. Our research investigates how Jesuit drama and related forms continued into the 18th century, engaged with ideas of the Enlightenment, and adapted trends of contemporary vernacular dramaturgy.

Religious entertainment Expanding on the key-‐concept of religious PR, we will widen our scope in 2015–17 and deal with three larger groups of texts: contemplative drama, religious fiction, and accessible forms of ‘popular’ Latin poetry.

PL 3: Neo-‐Latin and ‘history of mentalities’ (Key-‐Concept: Perception of Nature) Mentalities can be defined as basic attitudes towards fundamental aspects of human existence such as time, the body or death. These attitudes are usually experienced as the natural and even the only possible way of seeing things by the people who hold them. In reality, however, they are highly culturally determined and can change radically over time. The early modern age was an age of such dramatic mentality changes. One important strand within this complex process concerned the perception of nature: While in earlier times nature tended to be seen as something potentially dangerous and hostile, to be either domesticated or avoided, modernity experiences it as a necessary complement to human culture and as a source of joy and satisfaction. Neo-‐Latin literature played an essential role in the transition between these mentalities. This role is, however, largely neglected in previous research on the topic, which results in a distorted picture of the whole process; among other things, changes whose roots actually lie in the time around 1500 are often post-‐dated to the 18th century.

The discovery of Mountains The history of mountain perception is usually constructed as a fairly linear evolution from ‘mountain gloom’ to ‘mountain glory’ – to cite a classic in the field – and the turning point is usually put in the 18th century. Our

focus on Neo-‐Latin, instead of vernacular, texts not only allows us to push this date back by some 250 years, but also shows that the whole process is in fact less linear and much more complex than has been suspected so far. The sources of a new interest in, and finally a new appreciation of mountains include a diverse range of ideas, discourses and practices: from ethnological theory to royal self-‐representation, from patriotism to theology (and even demonology), from dietetics to the rise of the Sublime, from the flowering of the sciences such as botany, geology, volcanology and glaciology to the beginnings of tourism. In addition, these strands also transect and interact in many different ways, resulting in an even more variegated picture. Our project gives special prominence to the issues of aesthetics, but covers also a broad range of other aspects.

The invention of landscape This project is an extension of its predecessor of years 1–4, ‘The Discovery of Mountains’. Its primary focus will not be on further concrete forms of landscape (bogs, woods, deserts, the polar regions, the sea etc.), but rather on the concept of landscape and landscape in general. It wants to show that Neo-‐Latin literature contributes in a fundamental way to the emergence of the modern concept and to the development of the modern perception of landscape.

PL 4: Neo-‐Latin Tools This PL subsumes all activities of the LBI which aim to provide basic tools and reference works for the study of Neo-‐Latin and which are not part of PL 1–3, e.g. catalogues and databases, editions, translations, dictionaries, commentaries, literary histories and surveys. The lack of such basic tools in the young discipline of Neo-‐Latin studies is often regretted and the mission statement of the LBI calls for some remedy here. Moreover, PL 4 also serves as a platform for cooperation with similar initiatives and for external funding not easily assignable to any of our more specific PLs. This PL has no key-‐concept and no division into projects. To avoid confusion, it is not normally talked about as PL alongside our thematic PLs. Rather, it serves as an internal and administrative unit.

2.2. Publications (summary)

This year brought the publication of our first conference volume: S. Tilg and I. Walser (eds), Der neulateinische Roman als Medium seiner Zeit – The Neo-‐Latin Novel in Its Time, Tübingen: Narr 2013 (NeoLatina 21). On its significance see above 1.7. Moreover, I. Walser published a revised version of her MA thesis with the title Im theresianischen Zeitalter der Vernunft – Giovanni Battista Graser: De praestantia logicae (Innsbruck: Wagner 2013). This is a regional case study of the Latin Enlightenment, a progressive strain of Latin literature of the 18th century which received little attention until the recent studies by Y. Haskell and others. Important smaller publications include two papers by M. Korenjak, which show the relevance of our research for the fields of early modern science and cartography (‘Pulcherrimus foecundissimusque Naturae hortus: Berichte über botanisch motivierte Bergbesteigungen im 16. Jahrhundert’, Neulateinisches Jahrbuch 15, 2013, 197–218; ‘Der Text von Thomas Schoepfs Inclitae Bernatum urbis delineatio chorographica’, Cartographica Helvetica 47, 2013, 27–36) as well as a paper by O. Margolis, tracing the practical political consequences of humanism through a case study: ‘Cipriano de’ Mari’s Lucianic Speech for René of Anjou (St-‐Dié, MS 37): Humanism and Diplomacy in Genoa and Beyond’, Renaissance Studies 27 (2013), 219–35.

3. Further activities

3.1. Scholarly cooperation and funding bids

The LBI has established formal cooperation with a number of institutions. In 2013, cooperation was particularly strong with:

• Institut für Byzanzforschung (http://www.oeaw.ac.at/byzanz/) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences: we participated in a volume on book culture in the 17th and 18th centuries and prepared a joint funding bid for a project aiming at a dictionary of Austrian and Eastern European humanists.

• Institut für Kulturwissenschaften und Theatergeschichte (http://www.oeaw.ac.at/ikt/kooperationen/) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences: we digitized the IKT’s large collection of printed playbills (‘periochae’) from the historical Habsburg territories and are now looking into ways of presenting the material online.

• Society for Neo-‐Latin Studies http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/ren/snls/): we share information on Neo-‐Latin activities with the SNLS and were invited to send a strong delegation to its conference Theatrum Mundi: Latin Drama in Renaissance Europe, Magdalen College, University of Oxford, 12–14 September 2013.

• Cf. also our co-‐organization of conferences with scholarly partners under 3.2.

We had two successful bids in 2013. Work on the related projects will, however, start only in 2014:

• Crossing Borders Grant under the Research Cooperability Program of the Republic of Croatia. We launched this bid together with the Institute for Classical Philology of the University of Zagreb, Croatia. The successful project is called Croatica et Tirolensia and combines the Croatian model of CroALa, a digital collection of Croatian Neo-‐Latin texts, with the LBI database and Tyrolean Neo-‐Latin texts known from Tyrolis Latina. At the end we should have a larger corpus of texts and more sophisticated tools to research and compare them. The project is based in Zagreb, but € 47,000 will be used for a 50% position at the LBI. We plan to fill this position with J. Luggin, currently a 100% Junior Researcher in PL 3, on a contract ending in 2014. We shall reduce her working load in this PL 3 by 50%. The money saved this way can be used to employ her well beyond 2014 at the LBI.

• The Tyrolean Science Fund (TWF) has granted € 10,570 for the project Latini Textus Tyrolenses – Digital Library of Latin Texts from Tyrol, which feeds into Croatica et Tirolensia. Under the supervision of an LBI member, students should get paid from this money to prepare Tyrolean Neo-‐Latin texts for online editions.

A larger funding bid for an ERC Synergy Grant was also launched in 2013, but failed in the second round. The project’s title was Neo-‐Latin Epic Poetry: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Early Modern Heroic Poem in Its Socio-‐Political and Intellectual Contexts. F. Schaffenrath here cooperated with Professors Philip Ford, Keith Sidwell, and Hans Helander. The unexpected and untimely death of the principal investigator, Philip Ford, however, was a setback emphasized in all reports.

4. Plans for 2014

Our first aim for 2014 is, of course, to pass the review scheduled for 6 February 2014. Only upon a successful outcome the LBI will be able to go ahead with its research programme as planned. Our next goal is to complete the first projects (2011–14) in each PL with its corresponding load of larger publications: the monographs of W. Barton and N. Tjoelker; the editions of I. Walser, V. Sanzotta, S. Wirthensohn, and J. Luggin; the anthology of G. Almási and L. Šubarić. Most of these works, however, will be contracted only at the end of the year and will not be published before 2015, considering that the book production process may take up to a year. O. Margolis’ monograph will take a little longer, not least because he works only 50% for the LBI from December 2013 onwards. U. Kirchler’s revision of his MA thesis and G. Kompatscher-‐Gufler’s edition of the Codex Fuxmagen, neither foreseen in our research programme, will also take longer. F. Schaffenrath, upon his return to the LBI in May 2014, will start editing a Handbook of Latin Habsburg Epic, based on (but not identical to) the conference Neo-‐Latin Epic Poetry and the Habsburg Empire, organized by the LBI and its partner ÖNB in February 2012. A number of further larger publications which were not foreseen in our original research programme have already been contracted and may appear in 2014 (or 2015):

• G. Almási, ‘Latin and the Language Question in Hungary: A Survey of Hungarian Secondary Literature’, forthcoming in Jahrbuch der österreichischen Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des 18. Jahrhunderts 2013 and 2014 [book-‐length survey of Hungarian scholarship on the issue, appears in two parts].

• G. Almási and F. Kiss (eds), Humanistes du bassin des Carpates II: Johannes Sambucus, Turnhout: Brepols (Europa Humanistica) [commented edition of the prefaces and paratexts of the editions published by Johannes Sambucus].

• N. Tjoelker, Andreas Friz’s Epistula de tragoediis (Graz, ca. 1741–44): Edition, Translation, and Commentary, Leiden: Brill (Drama and Theatre in the Early Modern Period) [edition of a virtually unknown but important Jesuit poetics of the 18th century].

• G. Almási and L. Šubarić (eds), Latin at the Crossroads of Identity: The Evolution of Linguistic Nationalism in Enlightenment Hungary, Leiden: Brill [based on, but not identical to the proceedings of the conference Latin, National Identity and the Language Question in Central Europe held at the LBI in December 2012].

• O. Margolis and G. Barrett (eds), Latinity in the Post-‐Classical World, Oxford: Oxford University Press [proceedings of an LBI conference organized with the support of its partner PCSS in April 2013].

• O. Margolis, The Politics of Culture in the World of René of Anjou, Oxford: Oxford University Press [rev. PhD thesis].

We also plan to (co-‐)organize a number of conferences:

• Changing Hearts: Performing Jesuit Emotions Between Europe, Asia and The Americas, Cambridge, Trinity College, 7–8 March 2014 [hosted by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions’ History of Jesuit Emotions project, with the support of Trinity College, Cambridge and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Neo-‐Latin Studies, Innsbruck]

• Bundeskongress of the Deutscher Altphilologenverband, Innsbruck, 22–26 April 2014 [the largest congress of Latinists in the German speaking countries, with ca. 1000 participants; the LBI will take part with several talks and organize a ‘clubbing’ on the evening of 24th April]

annual report 2013


22

• 16. Neulateinisches Symposium NeoLatina “Angelo Poliziano: Dichter und Gelehrter”, 3–5 July 2014 [co-‐organized by the LBI and Prof. Thomas Baier, Würzburg University]

• Pontes VIII: Supplemente antiker Literatur, Innsbruck, 25–27 September 2014 [co-‐organized by the LBI and the Institut für Sprachen und Literaturen of Innsbruck University]

In addition, our Junior researchers will autonomously organize another international workshop or conference in the autumn.

A number of funding bids are in planning. The most concrete concerns a multivolume dictionary of humanists in Central and Eastern Europe. The model is the well-‐known Verfasserlexikon, published by De Gruyter in 1978–2008 for the German mediaeval period and from 2009 onwards for German humanism (excluding Austria). The first volumes of the new dictionary should cover Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary. Here, we seek funding from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). A proposal, involving mainly F. Kiss, will be submitted in early 2014. Further volumes are supposed to cover the Czech Republic, Poland, and the Baltics. Here, funding will be sought from the EU and/or the respective national Science Funds. De Gruyter has declared interest in publishing the volumes.
