Looking forward to the upcoming Lodz conference on medieval theories of sense perception!

I'll present a joint paper with Aurora Panzica on 'Fifteenth-century Discussions on Light and Its Role in Visual Perception in the Cracow Commentaries on De anima and Perspectiva communis'.

I'm thrilled to learn that my project on the manuscript dissemination of late medieval optics and the role of John Peckham's Perspectiva communis has received funding from the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR). Stay tuned for more updates! gacr.cz/en/czech-sci... #histsci
