The Hermeneutic Mind: Hrabanus Maurus and Biblical Interpretation

After completing his Ph.D. at Queen's University in 1980, Dr. William Schipper taught in Japan; since 1991, he has taught a variety of courses on medieval English literature at Memorial University. His main interest for the past three decades has been Hrabanus Maurus, and in particular his encyclopedia De rerum naturis of which he has been preparing a critical edition. He has read papers and published on Hrabanus's carmina figurate, as well as on a variety of Old English, Anglo-Latin and Carolingian manuscripts. One of his most recent papers is a discussion of a newly discovered ninth-century bifolium being used as a book wrapper in Mainz library, from which he was able to reconstruct an entire gathering of an otherwise lost manuscript. He is currently working on a paper on Hrabanus's unpublished commentaries.
