Although this generalization has relevance to arts and letters in most languages that were written during the period, it applies most completely to medieval Latin literature. After all, the ineluctable prerequisite of self-expression in medieval Latin was knowledge of a language that tended to be learned not at a mother’s knees but mainly at a schoolmaster’s feet. The medieval grammar school was first and foremost a school of Latin grammar, since until the late Middle Ages basic skills in reading and writing — even in the vernacular tongues — were attained after first acquiring at least a rudimentary ability to speak, read, and write Latin. The methods by which such capacities were achieved look very stable, perhaps deceptively so, across the thousand-year expanse that runs from late antiquity until the Renaissance and that coincides with the heyday of the manuscript codex as the preeminent medium for the preservation of texts and knowledge.Publication Remarks introducing the 2014 Pre-Columbian Symposium, Processions in the Ancient Americas.(2014) Ziolkowski, JanPublication Straparola and the Fairy Tale: Between Literary and Oral Traditions(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2010) Ziolkowski, JanAgainst Ruth B. Bottigheimer’s argument that the sixteenth-century Italian author Giovanni Francesco Straparola originated fairy tale in its best-known form, this article maintains that ancient and medieval texts contain earlier literary adaptations of folktales that qualify as fairy tales. Particular attention is paid to simi- larities between Straparola’s “Il re porco” and the Medieval Latin Asinarius. Such affinities suggest that oral tradition is not as difficult to document before the print era as Bottigheimer asserts. With regard to her theory that Straparola invented the narrative pattern that she calls “rise tales,” this article offers evidence that one such tale may be found as early as the second century CE, in Apuleius’s famous “Cupid and Psyche.” In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries folklorists were deeply concerned with studying the distribution of folktales across space and time; their key preoccupations were questions about origins and about the relationship between orality and literacy. These issues deserve to retain a central place in folklore studies.Publication Panel 3, on the subject of “The Students We Teach,” of the Curriculum Review Symposium.(2003) Ziolkowski, Jan
