Runica et Mediaevalia

Today I will attend the annual meeting of Runica et Mediaevalia (website in Swedish). Runica et Mediaevalia is an association that promotes research about runes and medieval languishes, culture and society.  This is done through the publication of the Runica et Mediaevalia series which is divided into the subseries Scripta maiora, Scripta minora, Opuscula and Lectiones.

After the annual meeting the traditional lecture is held, this year Anders Cullhed is the lecturer. He will address new observation about Dantes prophecies; The greyhound and 515.

The lecture concerns two of the most discussed passages from the Divine comedy by Dante; Inferno 1.97-105 and Purgatorio 33.40-45. Anders Cullhed will present new interpretations regarding these passages.

I’ll get back with a few notes
