Analysis reveals citation patterns of medieval authors in Early Modern texts, indicating their significance.
After the 1450s and down to the eighteenth century, scores of works by university Scholastics active after 1200 were printed, as well as hundreds of new writings in the Scholastic tradition. An analysis of the citations of medieval authors in these later texts reveals not only the importance of being in print for an earlier university theologian’s legacy, but also the individuals, decades, and places that were deemed most important in the eyes of Early Modern writers. This article illustrates the utility of these later works for reception history through the example of Konrad Wimplina’s Epithoma mire breviter, published in 1508.
