History of Art, History
My research interests are in the history of manuscript and printed books in Western Europe. I recently completed a book on the different roles of narrative illustration in several 13th-century German literary manuscripts. Current interests include an investigation into conceptual choices in the compilation of indexes in medieval academic books; the function of illustration and decoration in medieval university manuscript books and in early modern printed books; and the history of libraries and of book collecting.
