Aurelie Van de Meulebroucke (°1993) studied early modern history at the University of Louvain. In 2015, she graduated with a dissertation on the reform attempts of Robert de Croÿ, a noble bishop of the diocese of Cambrai (ca. 1500-1556). Subsequently she analyzed the academic printing history of the condemnation of Martin Luther (1519-1521) as part of the ManaMa program of Medieval and Renaissance Studies (KU Leuven). Since October 2016, Aurelie prepares a doctoral thesis on the international context of and the intellectual networks behind the Luther condemnation under the supervision of prof. dr. Violet Soen and prof. dr. Wim François. Her research interests included religious history, history of early modern Catholicism, Reformation history, intellectual history, history of universities and the history of printing.
