Forging Credibility: Knowledge, Trust, and Authority in the Premodern World
Research from the last decade clearly shows that questions about who could be considered an authority and what purposes authority served were crucial to intellectual life during the transition from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. Building on these insights, we seek to enrich current debates by focusing on East-Central Europe, a multi-confessional and multi-ethnic region where various scholarly traditions blended and encountered each other, opening up space for a wide range of discussions and disputes about whom to trust. Our conference aims to shed new light on how the credibility of scholars and trust in knowledge were forming and disappearing in this region, particularly in relation to the global contexts at the time.
