Tomáš Diviák (University of Groningen & Charles University, Prague) joins the DISSINET team as a research associate under contract since 1 September 2019. Tomáš's research focus is covert networks and statistical models for social networks. He is currently finishing his Ph.D. with Tom Snijders at the University of Groningen.
DISSINET has developed an interactive map of the occupations, dissident religious affiliations, and locations of residence of nearly 900 persons suspected of heresy in the inquisition register of Bologna, 1291–1310.
Building upon the invaluable work of modern editors, the DISSINET project is building a textual corpus of medieval inquisitorial material, which now contains 15 registers, totals over 1.6 million tokens, and ranges from North-Central Italy through Languedoc to England, and from the 1230s until the 1520s.
