CESAB welcomes Fernando Pancorbo! The Centre’s newest researcher holds a PhD in Sephardic Studies from the Universität Basel (Switzerland) and is a habilitated professor from the Université de Picardie Jules Verne. He has led two major editorial projects: the critical editions of Rumbos peligrosos (1683) and Confusión de confusiones (1688), both written by Joseph Penso de Vega, the foremost figure of the seventeenth-century Sephardic literary circle of Amsterdam.
Previously, he secured several research projects on the relationships between literature, music, and orality, and co-directed, together with Harm den Boer, a project devoted to the study and digital edition of the romance Bibles published in Amsterdam between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In addition, he has collaborated on various national and international projects focused on interdisciplinary approaches bringing together literary, historical, philosophical, artistic, and, more recently, digital materials.
