Jonas Hermann's research interests are in manuscript studies and the production and dissemination of medieval religious literature, especially mystical literature produced by nuns and semi-monastic women. He has previously worked on the Vita of Gertrude of Ortenberg, a noble widow turned Franciscan tertiary from late-medieval Strasbourg, and on the mostly unedited writings by and about Christine Ebner, a Dominican nun and visionary author active in the Bavarian monastery of Engelthal. His dissertation project is a critical edition and comprehensive study of the 14th century Book of Spiritual Poverty (Buch von geistlicher Armut), written by one of the earliest traceable recipients of Meister Eckhart, albeit a highly critical one. Jonas has cataloged manuscripts located in the University Library Freiburg and the Bodleian Library, and his research has been published in Oxford German Studies, Mystik unterwegs ( ed., Gilbert Fournier et al., Peeters, 2021), and Medieval Temporalities: The Experience of Time in Medieval Europe (eds., Almut Suerbaum and Annie Sutherland, Boydell & Brewer, 2021), among others. In his spare time, he dabbles in journalism for Forty-two magazine.
