European studies are strong at TCD and many are linked with digital humanities: http://www.tcd.ie/longroomhub/projects/constructions-of-europe/ For scholars in the medieval and modern languages area: TCD Library holdings are varied, multilingual and often hybrid in their composition. Important Latin manuscripts contain material in Irish. Records of the Roman Inquisition, looted by Napoleon and purchased in the 19th century, show charges against Mr Edward Bullock of Limerick in Italian, while those against Thomas Busbridge of Canterbury are given in Latin. The Library possesses a major collection of early German books and pamphlets which are largely political and religious in content, while the Quin and Fagel Collections range from early Italian printing and Renaissance poetics to French cultural history. The linguistic and cultural wealth of this material continues to be revealed: a recent conference of the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies showed that we hold some of the world’s most valuable research resources on the history of the Waldensians, including manuscripts dating from the 15th to the 17th century comprising poems, sermons and tracts, a Waldensian Bible, and documents on the examination of Waldensian ‘heretics’.
