About
I am editing, translating, and analysing five books written by the Irish scholar Dicuil as gifts for Louis the Pious over the years 814-818. This work of highly advanced computistical, scientific, and poetic content was referred to as De cursu solis lunaeque by Dicuil, but is also known by the modern titles Liber de astronomia or Computus.
Education
I studied Latin and History at the University of Tübingen (2009-15), received a ‘Staatsexamen’ with distinction, and taught both subjects for two years at a grammar school. I have been pursuing a PhD in History at Trinity College Dublin, under the supervision of Dr Immo Warntjes, and funded by the Irish Research Council (9/2018-3/2023, defended in the Viva voce and passe ‘without corrections’ on 27/4/2023).
