Professor David Trotter has been awarded £66,353 as the Aberystwyth element of a joint Heidelberg-Aberystwyth grant from the AHRC and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The grant, to run 2009-2012, will fund a researcher (Jennifer Gabel) who will work for two years in Heidelberg, on the Dictionnaire étymologique de l'ancien français (DEAF) and one year in Aberystwyth on the Anglo-Norman Dictionary (AND). Ms Gabel will at the same time be editing the Anglo-Norman translation of Baudri de Bourgueil's chronicle of the First Crusade, for a Heidelberg doctorate. In addition to what it will bring in concrete terms to the DEAF and to the AND, the grant is also a formalisation of a close long-standing collaboration between the two projects.
Major AHRB Research Grant of £426,112 to Professor TROTTER for the Anglo-Norman Dictionary Project.
In 2007 the project was awarded a further grant (£873,669) to continue the process up to the letter M. So, by 2012, half the original dictionary will have been comprehensively revised. The Anglo-Norman Dictionary, in its revised form, will make possible a comprehensive reassessment of this element of the impact of the Norman Conquest, and will make visible an aspect of the enduring influence of the Anglo-Normans which is every bit as important as the castles and cathedrals which they built.
To Professor D. Trotter for the AHRC funded project (£81,000) Anglo-Norman in the National Archives.
£5,000 from the University Research Fund to Professor D. TROTTER to support publication of CILPR proceedings.
