Trivium’s Secretary of the Board, MA Saku Pihko, will defend his PhD Thesis Information and Lived Religion in Inquisition Records from Medieval Languedoc on Friday 15th Dec at 12.00 in Pinni B 1096. The opponent is professor John H. Arnold from University of Cambridge and custos professor Christian Krötzl.
– My dissertation is about information behaviour as a part of the lived religion of lay people accused of heresy in the Middle Ages. Alongside this thematic investigation, my dissertation also participates in source critical discussions related to the use of inquisitorial evidence by conceptualizing and elucidating the construction of inquisitorial interrogation records and sentences from the perspective of information flow, Saku Pihko comments.
