Medieval Bruges: come for the art, stay for the parasites. 🏰
Our new study of a 15th-century apothecary and Spanish traders uncovers a city brimming with global goods: silks, spices, perfume sprinklers, olives, rice… and yes, an African parasite.

Tijdens 'Mapathon 1571' brachten 50 vrijwilligers een 16e-eeuwse kaart van het Brugse Vrije digitaal tot leven in het Brugse Stadsarchief. Twee dagen collectieve cartografie, nieuwsgierigheid en erfgoedpassie! Check nu alvast de video, de blog & online ontsluiting volgen dra!

Daar kan voor gezorgd worden, al is schaap voor het middeleeuwse Meetjesland toepasselijker

14.05.2025 15:05 — 👍 19 🔁 5 💬 0 📌 0Ja, dat ken ik! Ik heb me voor dit artikel echter vooral gebaseerd op het werk van Guy Dupont en Jelle Haemers over baden en bordelen in Vlaanderen. Uitermate boeiend inderdaad, heel blij dat ik op deze site kon werken!

29.04.2025 12:58 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Dat laatste is - toegegeven - misschien wat verwarrend weergeven in het artikel!
29.04.2025 08:13 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Voor dit specifieke gebouw zijn er historische bronnen die bevestigen dat dit badhuis ook als bordeel in dienst was (zie artikel; zeker niet voor ieder badhuis het geval). Over syfilis: dit onderzoek staat los van het bordeel. De skeletpopulatie die hiervoor wordt bestudeerd dateert uit de 16e eeuw.

Medieval brothel scene (cut from: Master of Anthony of Burgundy, Brothel scene, ca. 1470 – Berlin Staatsbibliothek, Ms. Dep. Breslau 2, vol. 2, fol. 244)
🏺 New research just published! 🧪
A rare case from a 14th-century brothel in Aalst reveals an infant that was likely breastfed and buried with care — challenging long-held assumptions about medieval sex workers and infanticide.

Hi Lizet, thank you! Tübingen gives me the opportunity to learn and perform the aDNA analysis, as they have all the expertise and necessary lab equipment.

Umziehen – to move.
A new chapter begins! 🎉
Yesterday, I started as a Marie Curie fellow at the University of Tübingen, researching medieval sex work in Flanders through aDNA analysis.
Excited for the next two years—come find me at the castle! 🏰
