The basic research funding will primarily be allocated to support and advance my research on Middle Dutch religious literature, with a particular focus on Middle Dutch prayer literature, Bible translations, and the writings of the mystical author Jan van Leeuwen (d. 1378). In the first subfield, I have served as Chair of the EU-COST Action Participation through Prayer in the Late Medieval and Early Modern World (PRAYTICIPATE) since September 19, 2024. For the second subfield, I plan to submit a research project proposal on the earliest Middle Dutch Bible translations (13th century). Regarding Jan van Leeuwen, I will deliver several lectures in the near future, which will lead to new publications and projects. To thoroughly prepare for and develop these endeavors, further research into the primary sources is essential. Where necessary, this research will be financed through the basic research funding.
