Caroline Vandyck (ACDC) is working as a PhD researcher on the Silent Voices project under the supervision of Mike Kestemont and Remco Sleiderink. The Silent Voices project researches the scribal habits of the monks in the Carthusian monastery of Herne in between 1350 and 1400. Although the monks lived in isolation and rarely spoke to each other, they were unusually productive and collaborated intensely together. Using stylochronometry, Caroline studies the evolution of the copying practice of the individual scribes and convergences therein.
