Digital Edition and Lemmatization of Medieval Waldensian texts

Position: Research appointment (pre-doc) Institute: Uni. Turin
Posted on: 19/05/2026 Deadline: 09/06/2026

Scientific-Disciplinary Group

10/FLMR-01 - Medieval Latin, Romance Philology And Literature

Description

The project builds on the Turin school of Romance philology’s longstanding research on medieval Occitan Waldensian texts, while engaging with issues such as the protection of cultural, religious, and linguistic minorities, ties to local contexts, and the relationship with Digital Humanities. The appointee will work on biblical and parabiblical texts, a field still marked by significant research gaps, focusing on the digital critical edition and lemmatization of the unpublished paraphrase of the Song of Songs. This work will contribute to the creation of a born-digital textual archive of medieval Waldensian literature (and, in perspective, Alpine Occitan literature), grounded in philologically reliable texts and developed in synergy with an automatic lemmatizer currently being designed by A. Giraudo (Studi Umanistici) and M. Stranisci (Informatica), also with methodological implications for training LLMs on minority and/or non-standardized languages.
