Veronica Papotti, PhD researcher in Subproject 7 Canons of Neo-Latin Texts, has been awarded a Seminarium Fellowship for the academic year 2027–2028 at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

Under the supervision of Raf Van Rooy and Nicholas de Sutter, she will investigate the role of Periochae in the formation and transmission of the Neo-Latin dramatic canon in Early Modern Europe. Combining archival research at KU Leuven and the Royal Library of Belgium (Bruxelles) with the study of Neo-Latin educational networks, the project explores how these short theatrical summaries preserve evidence of school performances and textual circulation. The fellowship will also contribute to the identification and preliminary digitisation of previously unstudied Periochae, while examining their place within the pedagogical traditions of institutions such as the Collegium Trilingue.
