The fiftieth annual conference of the Italian Association of Germanic Philology will be held from 7 to 9 February 2024 at the University of Florence, on the theme 'Education and training in the Germanic Middle Ages'.

The conference aims to explore the many aspects of the way and methods used to take care of education and training in the broad sense in the Germanic medieval world. The time frame goes from the Gothic kingdoms to the last decades of the sixteenth century.

The proposals may approach the topic from different perspectives and focus on the multiple formative modes at work in the Germanic Middle Ages, moving from the production of technical-scientific literature with a clear intent didactic-didactic to the flowering of exempla, from glossatory, grammatical and lexicological activity to edifying texts in prose or poetry, from monastic and religious education to the construction of ideal secular figures, embodying (and at the same time defining) the values of the society of the time.

Those interested in participating in the Conference as speakers are invited to send their proposals, accompanied by the title and abstract (no more than 1000 characters, spaces included), as well as a brief reference bibliography (max. 10 titles). During the conference, each report will last approximately 30 minutes (including 5 minutes of discussion). Proposals must be sent by 15 November 2023 to AIFG50@forlilpsi.unifi.it. The outcome of the selection will be communicated by 5 December 2023.
