Charlemagne: a European Icon “Charlemagne: a European Icon” is a network project examining the ways in which the different linguistic cultures of medieval Europe appropriated Charlemagne material from chronicle and epic. It is an international project funded by the Leverhulme Trust and bringing together scholars from across the UK, Continental Europe and the USA. The project will produce seven volumes, which will be published in Bristol Studies in Medieval Cultures, an imprint of Boydell & Brewer. The first two volumes, dealing with the Hispanic world and Latin texts have just been published and will be the subject of a book launch at the end of the symposium. In addition to the monographs the Project holds a series of workshops and symposia. This is the second to be held in Edinburgh and supported by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities and the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures. The symposium on 14th October will run from 9.00 am to 12.00 noon and from 2.00 pm to 5.00 pm in the Project Room, 50 George Square.
