Artificial Intelligence and the Study of University Knowledge Spaces in the Holy Roman Empire in the Middle Ages

Presentation at the Atelier Heloise workshop by Kaspar Gubler, Pim van Bree, and Geert Kessels, November 13-14 November 2025, Prague.

This presentation explores how generative AI and large language models can enhance the study of university knowledge spaces in the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. Using prosopographical data from the Repertorium Academicum (REPAC) within the nodegoat environment, it illustrates how these tools can reveal hidden structures of academic mobility and intellectual exchange. The talk also addresses the epistemological and hermeneutic implications of applying generative models to historical data.
