Donald C. Jackman Explained
Donald Charles Jackman (born London, 15 January 1954, died State College, 14 January 2023) was an American medievalist and linguist of Australian background.
Donald C. Jackman received his Ph.D. in 1987 from Columbia University with the dissertation titled The Konradiner: a study in genealogical methodology dealing with the family of the Conradines. He also later earned the M.A. in applied linguistics and worked as a linguistic supervisor for several years at the Pennsylvania State University. As a historian he concentrated especially on the heritability principle as long-time critic of Eduard Hlawitschka and defender of the thesis of Armin Wolf concerning the genesis of the imperial college of electors. In 2006 he founded the internet publishing house Editions Enlaplage, originally as a conduit for extended investigations into inherited right in the aristocracy of the central Middle Ages.
