Cristina Neagu
Cristina Neagu specializes in the literature and arts of the Renaissance. She has a doctorate from the University of Oxford. The fields in which most of her work has been conducted include Neo-Latin literature, rhetoric, art history and history of the book. From 2003 until 2023 she was Keeper of Special Collections at Christ Church, one of the most prestigious Colleges of the University of Oxford, where, among other things, she was in charge of the Digitisation Project. The first to be initiated by a College, the aim of the project was to produce high-resolution digital copies of every manuscript and unique or very rare item in Christ Church Library’s exceptional collections, and to facilitate a viewing environment for these images on the Digital Bodleian platform. For 20 years, she was also Editor of several monographs and the journal issued by Christ Church Library. Her own publications include studies on humanism during 15th-century in Central Europe, text and image in early modern art, various articles and a monograph, Servant of the Renaissance, on the work of Nicolaus Olahus, one of the lesser-known humanists and friends of Erasmus. Currently she works as a Researcher associated with the EMLO (Early Modern Letters Online – EMLO) Project at the University of Oxford. This is part of the “Cultures of Knowledge: Networking the Republic of Letters,” a collaborative and interdisciplinary research project based at the Faculty of History, using digital methods to reassemble and interpret the correspondence networks of the early modern period. EMLO brings together experts in history, philosophy, science, art, languages and literature with information specialists and systems developers, transforming engagement with early modern letters. At present Cristina Neagu is involved in working on the extensive correspondence of Albrecht Dürer and his circle. She is also engaged in writing a book based on the discovery of an unknown manuscript linked to a specific copy of Dürer’s Kleine Passion. » Read More
