This workshop examines how knowledge was transmitted in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, asking how texts, ideas, and practices moved across time, places, and communities. Through a range of case studies, participants will explore the roles of authors, readers, translators, scribes, and institutions in shaping intellectual traditions, and consider how historical, social, and religious contexts influenced the ways knowledge was received and reused. By viewing transmission as an active and creative process, the workshop offers fresh perspectives on intellectual exchange between the fourth and the tenth centuries
