Research Projects


One of my research projects is a database of English Church Dedications. It is still under construction (actually it is being proofread at present), but it should be available sometime around the middle of May.



Rabanus Maurus's encyclopedia, De rerum naturis

My other long-term research project is a critical edition, based on a collation or examination of all extant manuscripts, of Rabanus Maurus's De rerum naturis. This encyclopedic work, compiled between 842 and 846 by Rabanus before he became archbishop of Mainz, has not been edited since 1465 or 1466. In 1989 I published a handlist of all extant manuscripts known to me.
