My research broadly concerns textual criticism and late and mediaeval Latin. My MPhil thesis traces the manuscript tradition of Martianus Capella’s fifth century encyclopaedia De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii, focusing specifically on the ninth and tenth century witnesses to his text. Beyond that, I have interests in bucolic poetry, (neo)platonic philosophy, prose style, ancient translation practice, and Latin grammar and grammarians.
