Jake Purcell

I’m a historian and editor living in New York City, where I recently finished my Ph.D. in medieval history at Columbia University. On this site, you can find some of the non-academic (well, academic-adjacent) projects I’ve worked on and writing I’ve done, including my translations from French, Latin, and German. If you’d like to know more about my academic work on deception, evidence (legal or otherwise), and epistemology in post-Roman France, feel free to check out my department page.

You can find my resume here, or my CV here, if long form’s more your speed.
