The 'Assertive Edition'

In this session of ‘Legal History meets Digital Humanities’, we are pleased to have Prof. Dr. Georg Vogeler from the Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of Graz (Austria) as our guest.


Georg Vogeler is a historian with an interest in the Late Middle Ages, particularly medieval administrative documents and diplomatics. His research encompasses Digital Scholarly Editing, Semantic Web technologies, Data Modelling, and application of Data Science to the Humanities. We will discuss his idea of an ‘Assertive Edition’, reflecting on how digital methods influence the scholarly editing of historical texts.

The event is organised in a hybrid mode. More information and registration here.
