ALT Page of a 14th century manuscript, with mostly handwritten text. On the top left there is a small square (circa 10 cm) with a image. On the first two thirds there are three men (left to right): 1 man, wearing brown knee-length gown, holding an enema to the anus of the middle man (wearing white tunic, rolled up from the waist, exposed lower body, back to viewer); third man wearing blue long tunic (gold highlights). Last third has middle man rubbing his back against a rock in a field. Behind the rock is a donkey/ass. Tale: man visits famous country ‘wise man’ because he has lost his ass. Regardless of the problem, the only solution this ‘wise’ man ever provides, however, is that the patient merely needs an enema. As he walks home, the man finds that it is time to relieve himself. As he dodges behind a large rock to do so, he sees his ass, which had wandered away from him.

ALT The 2022 Medium ævum Annual Lecture. July second, 2022, 4.30pm to 6pm. Middle English books of devotion and liturgical privatisation in fifteenth-century England. Dr Ryan Perry (University of Kent). Dr Perry’s lecture will examine several devotional texts (such as pseudo-Bonaventure’s Meditationes vitae Christi and its English redaction by Nicholas Love) alongside manuscript assemblages to investigate how vernacular religious materials were put in service of individualised or household reading programmes. Such programmes might imitate the rhythms of the official liturgy or alternatively be understood in some respects as quasi-liturgies, reflecting improvised devotional regimens and structures of pious observance. Dr Ryan Perry is a Reader in Medieval Literature and Director of Graduate Studies in the School of English at the University of Kent, where he also teaches in the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies. He is currently the Principal Investigator of ‘Whittington’s Gift'.
