Dr. Marcus Pöckelmann

I was born in Halle. Beside my scientific work, I am close to nature, like to travel and get involved with politics. I completed my academic studies in Computer Science in my hometown at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg. Thereby efficient algorithms, in particular graph theory, was one key aspect which can be seen in my bachelor thesis (2010) as well as my master thesis (2013):

  • Ist die Welt kleiner geworden? Experimentelle Analyse des tageszeitabhängigen Durchmessers im Flugverkehr (Did the World Became Smaller? Experimental Analysis of a Daytime-Dependent Diameter in Air Traffic)
  • Zyklizität in empirischen und künstlichen Nahrungsnetzen (Cyclicity in Empirical and Artificial Food Webs)

Multidisciplinary and application orientation are as well essential cornerstones of the Digital Humanities, the field I work on as scientific associate since 2013. This ultimately led to my dissertation, which was published in 2024:

  • Über LERA und die Realisierung wesentlicher Anforderungen an digitale Werkzeuge zur Kollationierung verschiedener Textfassungen eines Werkes (About LERA and the Realization of Essential Requirements for Digital Tools for Collating Different Text Witnesses of a Work)

Projects

Materiality and Digitality within Manuscriptology: the Codices Vercellensis (VL3) and Sangallensis 1395 (Σ)

Homepage: tba

Project term: 2025 till 2028

As part of this project, early New Testament manuscripts will be comprehensively digitised and analysed. In addition to publishing the newly acquired research data, a critical edition of the Codex Vercellensis – the oldest Latin manuscript of the New Testament – is planned.

Digital Multi-layer Synopsis and Mystical Traditions of the Hebrew Alphabet according to the Kabbalistic Treatise Keter Shem Ṭov

Homepage: https://kabbalaheditions.org   

Project term: 2022 till 2025

The follow-up project to the scholarly edition of Keter Shem Ṭov developed a novel multi-layered synopsis that includes other treatises related to it.

The Kabbalistic Treatise Keter Shem Ṭov: Synoptic Edition, Commentary, Translation and the History of its Reception

Homepage: https://kabbalaheditions.org   

Project term: April 2019 till March 2022

The research project focused on editing the Hebrew text Keter Shem Ṭov, which has been preserved in approximately 100 textual witnesses, and further developed the LERA working environment for this purpose.

Digital Plato

Homepage: https://digital-plato.org   

Project term: April 2016 till March 2019

The Digital Plato project investigated the reception of Plato's works in ancient Greek literature. The key to this interdisciplinary project was the computer-assisted recognition of paraphrased text passages, embedded in the newly developed Paraphrasis    working environment.

SaDA - Semi-automatic Difference Analysis of complex text variants

Homepage: https://sada.uzi.uni-halle.de

Project term: September 2012 till August 2015

The interdisciplinary research project SaDA, involving scientists from the fields of computer science, Roman and German studies, focused on the development of interactive tools for comparing different textual witnesses of a work. The results include LERA and CATview.

Tools

LERA

Working environment LERA for text comparison in the scope of scholarly editions.
