Sabbatical Gert Partoens: Completion of two edition projects related to the early medieval reception of Augustine's exegesis of Paul + Contribution to the scientific description of a series of medieval homiliaria in the Florentine Biblioteca Laurenzia KU Leuven
I will devote most of my time to the completion of two edition projects, each of which will result in a volume in the Corpus Christianorum (Brepols): (1) (in collaboration with Dr. Nicolas De Maeyer) the second volume of the Collectio ex opusculis sancti Augustini in epistolas Pauli of Beda Venerabilis (672/3-735); (2) the first part of the voluminous commentary on the letter to the Romans in the Expositio in epistolas beati Pauli ex operibus ...

Interconnected Texts. A graph-based computational approach to Byzantine paratexts as nodes between textual transmission and cultural and linguistic developments Ghent University
This project aims to study patterns in a corpus of paratexts from Byzantine manuscripts, to elucidate the interconnectedness of material book production, motivations for textual transmission, and linguistic developments. This will aid, and be aided by, the development of new digital tools, equipped to detect variations and patterns in a fluid, fragmented, and heavily entangled textual corpus.
