Dr L.S. van Raaij (Lenneke)

I am an assistant professor in Medieval History at Radboud University Nijmegen. My interests include medieval manuscripts, liturgical texts, early and high medieval monasteries and bishops as well as broader research topics such as identity formation in local communities and the reception of classical texts in the Middle Ages.

I wrote my PhD thesis on the production of local liturgical texts in tenth-century Trier at the university of Exeter (UK). This research was conducted in cooperation with the HERA project: 'After Empire. Using and not using the past in the crisis of the Carolingian World (c. 900-1050).
