The Connecting Medieval Music project provides a platform for the study of contrafacta in medieval Romance lyric. It is a digital repertory of Occitan and French models and contrafacta, which also includes all Latin, German, Italian, and Galician-Portuguese contrafacta connected to the Gallo-Romance tradition.

Thanks to its interactive interface, Connecting Medieval Music invites users to explore the connections between lyrics across Europe in their geographical and chronological dimensions.

Welcome to Oiko.world!

The idea for Oiko.world came to me when beginning research for my recent book Ancient Worlds. In trying to research and understand the links between communities stretched across the ancient globe, I was constantly confronted with the traditional bounded way in which we study history, almost as isolated silos of activity. While we study the past in this way for good reasons, what we loose from such a perspective is a sense of how communities connected together, and a wider comparative sense of how civilisations evolved.
