Medieval Authorship and Cultural Exchange in the Late Fifteenth
Century is a multidisciplinary study of late medieval authorship
and the military orders, framed as a whodunit that uncovers the
anonymous author of the 'Utrecht Chronicle of the Teutonic Order'.
Through a close analysis of the Utrecht Chronicle of the Teutonic
Order and its manuscripts, and by exploiting a wide range of
scholarly techniques, from traditional philology and extensive
codicological examinations to modern digital humanities techniques,
the book argues that the recently resurfaced Vienna manuscript is
actually an author's copy, written in direct cooperation with the
original author. This important assertion leads to a
reinterpretation of the text, its sources and composition,
authorship, and the context in which it was conceived. It allows us
to associate the text with an upsurge of historiographical
activities by various military orders across the continent,
seemingly in response to the publication and aggressive
dissemination of the account of the Siege of Rhodes by Guillaume
Caoursin in 1480. Furthermore, the text can be positioned at the
crossroads between different cultural spheres, ranging from the
Baltic region to the Low Countries, spanning French, German, Dutch,
and Latin linguistic traditions. This book will appeal to scholars
and students of medieval history, as well as those interested in
cultural history and the military religious orders.
