Ethics and encyclopaedic culture in 13th-century France: adaptation, diffusion and contexts of innovation in the Speculum morale and its sources

该项目将通过研究1300年一本有影响力的伦理百科全书《镜面道德》及其与13世纪法国伦理教学演变的关系，帮助人们认识到西方思想传统的伦理基础，包括哲学和宗教传统。它将开发文本相似性检测软件，用于拉丁文文本，并在更广泛的人文科学研究中暗示。通过与中世纪百科全书文化的国际研究项目相联系，它将使澳大利亚在中世纪研究和信息技术方面的专业知识获得国际认可。

This project will contribute to awareness of the ethical foundations of the Western intellectual tradition, both philosophical and religious, through studying an influential encyclopaedia of ethical instruction from 1300, known as the Speculum morale and its relationship to the evolution of ethical teaching in France during the 13th century. It will develop text similarity detection software for use with Latin texts, and by implication within humanistic studies more generally. Through connecting with an international research project into medieval encyclopaedic culture, it will enable Australian expertise in both medieval studies and information technology to become internationally recognised.
