Mr Vittorio Danovi

Background

Vittorio Remo Danovi is currently a DPhil candidate in Classical Languages and Literature and a Lecturer II in Classics (Latin). He holds a BA and an MA in Classics from the University of Bologna and a PGDip in Humanities from the Collegio Superiore of the University of Bologna.

Research Interests

His research is mainly concerned with late-antique and early-medieval exegesis of Latin Classical poetry, and his doctoral thesis focuses on the manuscript tradition of the seventh-century commentary on Vergil known as Seruius auctus (or DS). More broadly, he is interested in Latin textual criticism and in the transmission of Latin texts.
