History Professor, Jason Coy, was awarded a “Herzog Ernst Fellowship for Postdoctoral Studies,” a summer research fellowship at the University of Erfurt’s Research Center for Social and Cultural Studies in Gotha, Germany. The fellowship is funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation and will allow him to conduct research on his current book project on divination and demonology in early modern Germany at the Forschungsbibliothek Gotha. This major research library holds over 680,000 rare printed works and 800 running meters of archival materials, making it one of the most significant collections of early modern sources in Germany. The research library is housed in Schloss Friedenstein, a Baroque palace built in the 1640s by Duke Ernst I the Pious of Saxe-Gotha, the namesake of the fellowship.
