The Vandal Renaissance: Latin Literature in Post-Roman Africa (435-534CE)

该项目旨在调查北非汪达尔王国的拉丁文学。它希望确定一个充满活力的文学文化，庆祝多元文化的多样性，拥抱古典传统，并为基督教神学做出贡献，同时帮助形成一个独特的汪达尔身份。预期的结果包括对汪达尔非洲作家的智力影响的更详细的了解，汪达尔宫廷赞助的机制，以及这些作者对拉丁文学史的贡献的广度。该项目将通过提供一个详细的多元文化社会的好处和挑战的历史例子，使澳大利亚文化受益。

The project aims to investigate the Latin literature of the Vandal kingdom of North Africa. It expects to identify a vibrant literary culture that celebrated multicultural diversity, embraced the Classical tradition, and contributed to Christian theology, while helping form a distinct Vandal identity. Expected outcomes include a more detailed understanding of the intellectual influences on Vandal African authors, the mechanics of Vandal court patronage, and the breadth of these authors' contribution to the history of Latin literature. The project will benefit Australian culture by providing a detailed historical example of the benefits and challenges of a multicultural society.
