How to Write Historical Marvels: The Construction and Authentication of History in Ancient Paradoxography KU Leuven
The ancient Greeks and Romans were deeply interested in the “marvelous”. In the Hellenistic period, such interest was channeled into a specific branch of literature exclusively devoted to marvels, the so-called paradoxography. Works belonging to this tradition consist of collections of strange-but-(supposedly-)true phenomena mostly drawn from earlier works of natural science or historiography.
Scholars of historiography have ...
Languages writing history. The impact of language studies beyond linguistics (1700-1860) KU Leuven
Before the study of language was institutionalized, and concentrated, in the discipline of linguistics in the 19th century, languages were central to understanding mankind and, therefore, to scholarship in the humanities. Once historical and linguistic knowledge came to be collected, systematized, categorized, codified, and transmitted in institutionalized disciplines, boundaries arose between the new disciplines. This project aims to focus ...
Towards a collection management infrastructure for Flanders KU Leuven
DiSSCo is a new world-class Research Infrastructure for the physical and digital curation of
European natural science collections under common management and access policies. To make the
collections more visible and used, their associated data and media should become more Findable,
Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). Representing the largest ever formal agreement
between natural history museums, botanical ...

Collective Knowledge in Mathematics: Proofs, Collective Justification, and Reliability Vrije Universiteit Brussel
is true, although we still do not know whether Goldbach’s conjecture
is. Obviously, such knowledge ascriptions are implicitly attributed to
the mathematical community or a subgroup thereof. But what is the
nature of such collective knowledge? Is it simply reducible to the sum
of the knowledge of individual mathematical agents, or shall the
