Dr Delphine Demelas

Delphine Demelas is currently an Editor for the online Anglo-Norman Dictionary project at Aberystwyth University, a vital digital resource for studying medieval French, medieval Francophonie and the evolution of English. In this role since 2020, she actively contributes to the dictionary’s digital transformation, specializing in digital lexicography, XML and TEI encoding, Python and computational analysis of medieval texts. Her doctoral research at Aix-Marseille University focused on creating a LaTeX critical edition of the 15th-century French epic La Chanson de Bertrand du Guesclin. Previously, she taught medieval literature and digital humanities internationally (France, Brazil, Paraguay, USA and UK). In Paraguay between 2017 and 2019, she led an international project to digitize, preserve and describe the 19th C. manuscript El Libro de Oro, a Paraguayan national treasure in collaboration with UNESCO and the Ministry for Culture of Paraguay.
