Curriculum vitae

After completing a Master’s degree in Philology, Literature and History of Antiquity at the University of Florence (with a dissertation concerning the scribe Matteo di ser Giovanni Totti da Imola), in 2021 she obtained a PhD in Historical Studies at the same university. Her thesis in Latin Palaeography was later published as the monograph La biblioteca della Badia Fiorentina. Storia della collezione manoscritta e catalogo dei codici latini (secoli XI–XVI) in the RICABIM series by SISMEL–Edizioni del Galluzzo (2023).

Since 2022 she has been a Postdoctoral Researcher in Latin Palaeography at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (assegnista di ricerca). Her work focuses on the analysis and cataloguing of Latin manuscripts containing twelfth-century logical commentaries, within the ERC research project Polyphonic Philosophy: Logic in the Long Twelfth Century (PI: Caterina Tarlazzi).

In 2024 she was a Visiting Scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge, where she developed a research project on twelfth-century logical manuscripts preserved in the libraries of London, Cambridge and Oxford. Between March and May 2025 she was chercheuse invitée at the École nationale des chartes in Paris, where she studied manuscripts related to the teaching of the trivium in the twelfth century and their circulation in France.

Her research interests include monastic libraries, practices of cataloguing complex manuscripts, and the dynamics of production, circulation and dispersal of Latin codices between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries.
