“…Carruthers 2008Carruthers [1990). Ziolkowski (2009) notices a similar looseness in referring to authorities in twelfth-century secular literature in the vernacular, even when the reference is incorrect. Like religious treatises, secular stories were linked to authorities from the past, regardless of whether these authorities were actual historical figures or invented authenticators.…”

“…Although the concepts of authority and authorship are (also etymologically) closely related (cf. Ziolkowski 2006;Ziolkowski 2009;Minnis 2010), the authority of a medieval text does not always depend on whether its author is known by name. In the manuscript age, the material vulnerability and the methodical fluidity of text transmission enlarge the number of writings transmitted anonymously.…”

This article explores rewriting as a concept for cultural memory studies, examining the transformation of the technology of ''writing again'' in different historical periods. Its aim is to elucidate in what ways rewriting functions as an act of remembrance, and how this function differs in the manuscript age, the age of print and the digital age. The article discusses differences and similarities in the stability or fluidity of texts as a medium for memory, presenting rewriting as a helpful tool to see through presumed distinctions between these periods and their characteristic methods of text transmission. In particular, the article presents findings with respect to its utility to a broad range of historical source evidence, from the early medieval literature on saints' lives to contemporary post-colonial and feminist literature. In this article, rewriting is recognized as a transformative technology of memory, carrying and transmitting memories but not without change and adaptation. Dealing explicitly with the variety and the diversity of the media that transmit cultural memory in the different historical periods, including visual media, the article shows rewriting to be a productive concept for understanding cultural memory as an act of transfer. Keywords Cultural memory Á Rewriting Á Literacy Á Orality Á Visual literacy Cultural memory studies have recently emerged as a broad interdisciplinary field, encompassing a wide range of perspectives and addressing an extensive list of

The article discusses a passage in book 15 of Pliny's Natural history which lists Livia among the creators of new fruit cultivar. It argues that Livia's unique position within and outside her family explains why she appears to be the only woman remembered for her direct involvement in arboriculture. The article then discusses grafting, which in ancient Rome was charged with many symbolic meanings, and contextualises the appearance of Livia in horticultural discourse within the ideology of the Augustan era and the increased interest in horticultural matters at that time.
