Matthias M. Tischler

Affiliation: ICREA/Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
E-mail: matthias.tischler@icrea.cat
Website: https://www.icrea.cat/Web/ScientificStaff/matthias--m.-tischler-241684

Project(s): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/en/imafo/forschung/historische-identitaetsforschung/projekte/carolingian-culture-in-septimania-and-catalonia | http://postcarolingianworld.ac.at/resources-2/ | https://webs.uab.cat/luculentius/

Interests: My current research focuses on the full reconstruction of the Carolingian text and manuscript heritage in Septimania and Catalonia from the ninth to the twelfth century. This is the first comprehensive study of the transformative impact of the so-called ‘Carolingian Reform’ on a central periphery of the Carolingian empire, a political, ecclesiastical and cultural key zone of the post-Visigothic world. The basis of all my projects is the text and manuscript database "Carolingian Catalonia" (Car.Cat), an innovative DH tool as it reconstructs and visualises for the first time the dynamics of Carolingian transformation of an entire landscape of handwriting and book culture of its own.
