Under the scholarly guidance of its founding father Prof. Paul Tombeur and its current academic director Prof. Toon Van Hal (KU Leuven), the CTLO team are always looking for collaborations in various forms. One technically-oriented ongoing collaboration with Mike Kestemont, Enrique Manjavacas (both UAntwerpen), Nicolas De Maeyer and Lisa Devriese (both KU Leuven) seeks to refine the possibilities of text comparison and source identification. From October 2021 until September 2025, Brepols/CTLO and KU Leuven are co-hosting a collaborative academic-industrial “Baekeland” project, funded by VLAIO (the Flemish “Agentschap Innoveren & Ondernemen”), which will allow PhD researcher Wouter Mercelis to enrich and improve Brepols’ full-text databases by implementing Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. For the integration of texts into its databases and the verification of metatextual information, the CTLO is grateful for its past and ongoing cooperations with academic institutions, journals, and publishers, such as the Commissio Leonina, the Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum (CSEL), Les Éditions du Cerf, the Frati Editori di Quaracchi (Fondazione Collegio San Bonaventura), the Institut d’Études Augustiniennes (Paris), the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (Toronto), Revue Bénédictine, Sacris Erudiri, the Société des Bollandistes, Sources Chrétiennes (Lyon), the Württembergische Bibelgesellschaft, Leuven University Press, Oxford University Press, Peeters Publishers (Leuven), Walter de Gruyter, and many others. |
