"Genus Regale et Sacerdotale"
The Image of the Bishop Around the Millennium
An Interdisciplinary Conference at the University of Chicago
October 28-30, 1999
This conference will address the varied images of the bishop created around
the turn of the millennium, c. 900- 1050. In particular, it is meant to
examine the changing function and significance of the bishop in this
period, as revealed by the various ways - political, historical,
theological, legal, ritual, artistic, or literary - in which bishops
represented themselves and were represented by those around them. Our
distinguished keynote speakers - Michel Parisse (Université de Paris I -
Sorbonne), Hiltrud Westermann-Angerhausen (Schnütgen Museum-Köln), and
Arnold Angenendt (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster) - will be
joined by over thirty presenters from Europe and North America.
Registration for the conference is $20 for students, $35 for faculty and
other professionals. Registration forms, as well as complete information
on the conference, transportation, and lodging are available at our website or by mail.
Registration deadline is 30 September 1999.
