Dr David Zbíral has been awarded the 2020 Masaryk University Rector's Prize for an exceptional research outcome. The prize has been awarded for his book Baptized by Fire: Cathar Christianity in the Light of the Sources (Praha: Argo 2019), which represents an exceptional synthesis concerning Catharism with a selection of sources translated from Latin and Old Occitan originals.
On 1 September 2021, the ERC Consolidator Grant-funded project “Networks of Dissent: Computational Modelling of Dissident and Inquisitorial Cultures in Medieval Europe” (DISSINET, 2021-2026) officially gets underway! The team is now constituted. Who’s aboard?
The project of computational historiography needs not only to adopt the modelling for representing the target phenomena but also to achieve a complex representation of the textual sources and its interpretive layers. To do the latter, we have developed an approach that we call “source modelling”.
