Maciej Eder

Maciej Eder is the director of the Institute of Polish Language, Polish Academy of Sciences, and associate professor at the Pedagogical University, Krakow, Poland. Co-founder of the Computational Stylistics Group, the president of the Committee for Linguistics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is interested in European literature of the Renaissance and the Baroque, classical heritage in early modern literature, and scholarly editing (his most recent book is a critical edition of 16th-century Polish translations of Dialogue of Salomon and Marcolf). For a couple of years, Eder has been focusing on digital methods applied to literary and linguistic studies, with special attention paid to computer-based stylometry and non-traditional authorship attribution. His work is now focused on a thorough re-examination of current stylometric methods and applying them to non-English languages, e.g. Latin and Ancient Greek. More on personal website.
