So yesterday I spoke with MOC, the programme co-ordinator for Medieval Studies at St. Michael's. He says I only need two more classes in that major to graduate, so I will be doing the intro course (what a way to end!) and I may do a thesis. The thesis depends on my finding a sufficient corpus to work with as well as someone willing and able to supervise me. I'm thinking about doing a thesis on disability in fables in the middle ages. MOC says that it sounds like a very good idea, but agrees that I need the groundwork first. So we'll see.
And today I went to the library and photocopied a large portion of Brian Copenhaver's Hermetica, namely the Asclepius as well as as many notes as I could before my photocopy card ran out. So I took the book out as well to see if there is some of the introduction I should copy as well. Then I grabbed Peter Dronke's edition of Bernardus Silvestris's Cosmographia, as well as Winthrop Wetherbee's translation of it, as well as Brian Stock's book, Myth and Science in the Twelfth Century. After Confession I shall take them home and begin working, I hope.
