Abstract
This is my PhD thesis on four-dimensional simplicial quantum gravity using the dynamical triangulation model. Most of the results we have published in separate papers are collected here for your convenience. Some new results have been added as well. Besides these results this thesis also contains an introduction to simplicial quantum gravity and a detailed description of my dynamical triangulation program for arbitrary dimension. Some small formal parts are in Dutch.
