Eder, Maciej

Maciej Eder is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Polish Studies at the Pedagogical University of Kraków, Poland. 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 bi-lingual edition of Andreas Volanus’ Latin treatise De libertate politica..., 1572, and its old-Polish translation: O wolności rzeczypospolitej..., 1606). A couple of years ago while doing research on anonymous ancient texts, Eder discovered the fascinating world of computer-based stylometry and non-traditional authorship attribution. His work is now focused on a thorough re-examination of current attribution methods and applying them to non-English languages, like Latin and Ancient Greek.
