Alexander Andrée
Alexander Andrée, Professor of Latin Philology has particular expertise in Latin literature, Latin palaeography, and textual criticism. He studied Greek and Latin Philology in Stockholm and Lund and received his PhD in Latin Philology from Stockholm University in Sweden. He studied the auxiliary philological sciences (palaeography, codicology, diplomatics, textual criticism and editorial technique) with Fr Leonard Boyle, op, at the Vatican Library in Rome, and held research fellowships at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto, Harris Manchester College, Oxford, and the Institut de recherche et d'histoire de textes in Paris.
A specialist in Medieval Latin literature, Prof. Andrée has published widely on the teaching of the medieval schools, especially the schools of Laon and Paris in the twelfth century, and on the university in the later Middle Ages. He has researched the creation of the so-called Glossa ‘ordinaria’ on the Bible, a standard theological teaching tool, partly originating in the lectures of Anselm of Laon, whose glosses on the Gospel of John (the Glosae super Iohannem) Prof. Andrée edited for the series Corpus Christianorum, described by reviewers as a “model” edition. Prof. Andrée’s annotated classroom edition of Peter Abelard’s Historia calamitatum (“The Story of My Calamities”) for the Toronto Medieval Latin Texts Series has been hailed as an “exceptionally useful resource.” He has also edited the university sermons and disputations of the Swedish theologian Christopher Laurentii. Currently Prof. Andrée is involved in a larger research project, involving Mark J. Clark, Joshua Benson, and Tim Noone, studying masters such as Peter Lombard, Peter Comestor, and Stephen Langton, which with Clark’s discovery of the biblical lectures of Peter Lombard, long-thought-to-be-lost but hidden in plain view, will revolutionize our understanding of intellectual life in the Middle Ages.
Prof. Andrée is also interested in Greek and Latin epic, and the survival of Greek learning, language, and literature in the medieval period. He is currently writing a book for a popular audience on the transmission and survival of the Latin and Greek classics.
Together with Dr Greti Dinkova-Bruun of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Prof. Andrée edits the Toronto Medieval Latin Texts series. He is also the review editor for the Journal of Medieval Latin, and edits the series The Glossed Bible: Editions and Studies of the Medieval Sacra Pagina for PIMS, and serves on the editorial board of Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina and Continuatio mediaeualis.
Prof. Andrée also serves as Director of Research at the Medieval Museum in Stockholm.
