At 10am in the Lea Library, professor Maddalena Signorini will hold a seminar for graduate students focused on manuscripts from the Kislak collection. 
Prof. Signorini is the 2020 SIMS-Italian fellow, and this seminar is part of her residency.

Professor Signorini teaches Latin Paleography and Codicology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy and she coordinates the Mellon Summer Institute in Italian Paleography at the Newberry Library in Chicago. Her research focuses on Medieval literacy, on the first writing in Romance vernaculars, and, in more recent years, on Petrarch’s and Boccaccio’s handwriting, books and libraries.
