Assigned courses covered the following themes and topics: history, literature and culture, Italian, French, European, middle-ages and early modern period. Special focuses: religious history, especially Jewish and Greek minorities; archival studies; historiography; cultural exchange; literature and politics; humanism; encyclopaedism; myths of origins; book-history; artistic movements and political thought.
Over the years, I co-supervised MA- and PhD-theses.
