Faculty Member, Institute of Greek and Latin Studies
Assistant Professor
About
I deal primarily with medieval Latin manuscripts and literature concentrating on obscure but widely diffused texts. I have published on the medieval reception of "Cena Cypriani", biblical mnemonics ("Summarium biblicum"), or on late medieval art of memory. I am currently preparing a monograph on obscurity in medieval Latin texts and mauscripts.
I was born in Brno in 1977. I got my M.A. from English and Latin philology at Palacky University in Olomouc in 2000, M.A. in Medieval Studies at the Central European University in 2001 and Ph.D. in Medieval Studies at the same place in 2005. For three years I worked at the Center for Theoretical Study, a joint research centre of the Charles University and Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague. Since 2007 I have held a part-time (50%) position of Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Humanities of the Charles University in Prague, since 2008 another part-time (50%) position at the Institute of Greek and Latin Studies, Faculty of Arts of the same university, and since 2011 yet another part-time (20%) position at the Centre for Medieval Studies, Philosophical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague.
I have a charming husband and three wonderful children, Matyas (*2005), Anna (*2007), and Julia (*2008).
