Numerous Cusanus Sessions Featured at IMC Leeds 2022

We’re happy to be able to report that the 2022 International Medieval Congress at Leeds featured numerous sessions on Nicholas of Cusa, mostly organized by our friends at the Cusanus Society of the UK & Ireland, but also highlighting collaboration between the CSUKI & the ACS. By all accounts, these sessions were a success, with a wide range of scholars presenting their work in a congenial yet rigorous atmosphere. In what follows, we’ll include a bit more info about each session. Special thanks go out to Chris Bellitto, without whose contributions to Leeds none of this would’ve been possible.

First up, Simon Burton & William Hyland of CSUKI (Cusanus Society of the U.K. & Ireland) put on a _De visione Dei_ session with Greta Venturelli, Monika Veronica Eisenhauer, & Miguel Beltrán Munar.

Next up on July 7 was another CSUKI session on peace & politics in the Cusan tradition (with reference to Islam & the Tudors!), featuring Chris Bellitto, Nathan Ron, & Andrea Hugill.

The third big Cusanus session, dealing with Christology & martyrology, was moderated by our own Dr. Bellitto. Hyland & Burton presented their own work alongside that of Preston Hill. The Carthusians received some attention here.

Lastly, we should mention the helpful roundtable on "writing for non-academic audiences," organized by Marta K.D. Cobb, moderated by Rebecca Darley, & again featuring our own Dr. Bellitto.

All in all, as intimated above, this rendition of the IMC at Leeds has to be regarded as a success, especially for those of us interested in the life, times, & intellectual context of Nicholas of Cusa. Can’t wait ‘til next year!
