Tagungsprogramm_Arithmetik in der Praxis
The ERC project “ARITHMETIC. German Arithmetical Treatises in Manuscripts of the Late Middle Ages (1400‒1570)” will host its final conference “Arithmetik in der Praxis / Arithmetic in Practice. Numbers at Work in Medieval and Early Modern Europe” in Innsbruck from November 3rd to 5th, 2026.
Our focus, both in terms of content and methodology, is on arithmetic manuscripts from the Late Middle Ages, examined from historical, cultural, literary, and editorial perspectives, with a strong emphasis on the digital humanities. Presentations will address arithmetic books as well as other texts based on the quadrivium, along with mathematical topics and specialized literature (and its didactics). A detailed conference program can be found in the added brochure.
