Prof. Frederik Dhondt contributed to the Festschrift for prof. Gilbert Gornig (Marburg). 

Abstract:

This contribution to the Festschrift of Prof. G. Gornig sheds light on a famous 18th century manuscript on the institutional structure of the Austrian Low Countries. I first illustrate the author's unique position (I), before delving into the issues of allegiance, taxation and consent (II).

This contribution is part of the ongoing engagement of our research group with the Transkribus HTR technology. Special thanks go to teaching assistant Vincenzo de Meulenaere, student-researchers Max Van den Bosch and Senne De Kerpel, as well as to former research student Leen Elewaut.
