Professor of French and Neo-Latin Studies, and Director of Graduate Studies in the University of Warwick's School of Modern Languages & Cultures.
Besides Warwick University's 60th anniversary, we ought also to celebrate 25 years of Neo-Latin @ Warwick! 😉🎂 Last week I discovered posters for the 2000 & 2001 workshops I organised with the late Peter Mack and Andrew Laird (now at Brown Univ). We're still hosting great NL PhD projects here...

My interest in translations of Latin texts was piqued the weekend before last at the book launch of George Garnett and Magnus Ryan's 2024 translation of Bartolus's "crabbed and terse", "technical, dense and allusive" jurisdict prose full of copyists' errors... Some colleagues do love a challenge 😉🎓!
