I am very happy to have received a Junior Postdoc grant from @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social! Thanks to this grant, I will be able to continue my digital research on medieval fragments and manuscripts at the @uantwerpen.be for another three years.

Afgelopen vrijdag mocht ik mijn proefschrift Codex en code verdedigen. Wat een dag was dat! Bedankt aan iedereen voor het enthousiasme. In het bijzonder veel dank aan mijn promotoren @mikekestemont.bsky.social, @remcosleiderink.bsky.social, Karina van Dalen-Oskam en de juryleden. Op naar meer!!

Welkom op 11 september op de openbare verdediging van mijn proefschrift Codex en code, met @mikekestemont.bsky.social , @remcosleiderink.bsky.social en Karina van Dalen-Oskam als promotoren! Wil je al een voorproefje? Lees hier mijn blog op Bladspiegel: blog.uantwerpen.be/bladspiegel/...

Deadline has been extended to September 10! Keep those abstracts coming! #medievalsky #IMC2027 #fragments @imc-leeds.bsky.social

Still receiving expressions of interest!! #medievalsky

Zojuist vernomen dat Evert van den Berg (1942-2026) is overleden. Hij droeg veel bij aan de studie van het Middelnederlands. En hij bleef zijn expertise delen met jong en oud ook nadat hij wetenschappelijk en spiritueel andere wegen opging. Dankjewel, Evert ♥️ www.dominicanen.org/nl/nieuws/le...

8000 fragments! Congratulations, @fragmentarium.bsky.social! Folks, PLEASE survey your early modern bindings and share what you find. #fragmentology

Just now I idly wondered when the word 'fragmentology', and the discipline of 'Fragmentology', became popular, so I did a Google n-gram with interesting results. #fragmentology

A great piece on my PhD research was just published on ACU Impact (www.impact.acu.edu.au/global/from-...)! Menios Constantinou was a fantastic interviewer, and he made an engaging story from my responses. The piece gives an accessible summary of how I use Bayesian phylogenetics for text-criticism.

In addition to describing how I applied this approach to Ephesians, it details how my PhD research has led to further collaborations, including my recent work with @sofiemoors.bsky.social and my upcoming postdoc at @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social. Please give it a read!

The Lyon fragments of the Martijn Trilogy are now on Fragmentarium! fragmentarium.ms/overview/F-p...

Vrouwelijke onderzoekers wachten tot 10 weken langer op publicatie dan mannelijke collega's, blijkt uit studie van UHasselt

Presented my paper "The One and Only? Authorship Verification on Jan van Boendale and the Middle Dutch Antwerp School" on #CHR2025 and it won the ERC Best Long Paper Award! Delighted and grateful :) @comphumresearch.bsky.social

Very happy to present the paper that @joeymccollum.bsky.social and I wrote on applying Bayesian phylogenetics to the medieval Dutch Martijn Trilogy at #CHR2025 :)

The Heidelberg-fragment of the Martijn Trilogy is now on Fragmentarium (Universitätsbibliothek Heidelberg, HS 200)! fragmentarium.ms/searchresult...

This 15th-century Ghent fragment of Jacob van Maerlant’s Martijn Trilogy (KANTL. HS. 6) looks a bit weird - it is an exceptional example of writing out of text order on uncut sheets. But when you reconstruct it as a single-quire booklet, it all makes sense! www.instagram.com/reel/DRpYdoA...

The #CHR2025 proceedings are now freely available online! They include the paper that @sofiemoors.bsky.social and I wrote on applying Bayesian phylogenetics to the medieval Dutch Martijn Trilogy. You can check out our paper at doi.org/10.63744/vBR...!

📢 The #CHR2025 proceedings are out! 97 papers, ~1600 pages of computational humanities 🔥 Now published via the new Anthology of Computers and the Humanities, with DOIs for every paper. 🔗 anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0... And don’t forget: registration closes tomorrow (20 Nov)!

Wish I could attend in person! If you're going to be at #CHR2025 this December, you should go to Session 2A on Wednesday to hear @sofiemoors.bsky.social discuss how we applied Bayesian phylogenetics to a medieval Dutch text!

🗓️ The #CHR2025 programme is online! Browse what’s on the menu here: 2025.computational-humanities-research.org/programme/ Proceedings are coming soon as well. Don’t forget: registration closes on 20 November! #computationalhumanitiesresearch

I won't get to attend the conference in Luxembourg in person this December, but I hope that the paper is received well and generates further interest and discussion of how Bayesian phylogenetics can be fruitfully applied to textual traditions!

I'm excited to share that the paper I co-authored with @sofiemoors.bsky.social, "From a Computer-Assisted Stemma to a Phylogenetic Tree: The Medieval Dutch Martijn Trilogy by Jacob van Maerlant," has been accepted for the #CHR2025 conference! Thanks to the anonymous referees for their kind feedback!
