Dr. Lukáš Lička, a member of the TRIPTIC-EU ERC-Academia research group, took part in a series of academic lectures hosted by the Freie Universität Berlin on October 28, 2024.
His lecture ‘From Oxford to Nuremberg. On the Fate of a Late Medieval Optical Treatise‘ investigated the reception of the Oxford optical treatise Perspectiva cum sit una (possibly authored by Thomas Bradwardine) by German scholars in Paris, Arnstadt, and Nuremberg between the 14th and 16th centuries. Focusing on various manuscript and textual transmissions, the lectures explored various examples of intertextuality (citations, allusions, excerpts, and implicit borrowings) in both manuscript and printed sources.
