#introduction

Moin!

I'm a research fellow at the cathedral library Hildesheim @dombib_hi and responsible for its #medievalmanuscripts and #incunabula. My focus is in late medieval #Alltagsgeschichte, #historyofbooks and #materialculture (and their combination!). My current long term projects are new manuscript- and incunabula catalogues. Besides that I'm interested in the positive chances of #livinghistory for teaching history, and I learn #python, or better I try to learn it 😅
