Ugo Mondini, a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford. He specializes in medieval and early modern Greek literature and in the teaching of the Greek language in Byzantine and Ottoman schools. His research explores the development of and interaction between different forms of the Greek language and their poetics in literary texts. His recent co-authored monograph explores how Manuel Philes († after 1332) rewrote the Psalms into Byzantine poetry. He is completing his second monograph on the poetry book by Ioannes Mauropous († after 1082). His British Academy project will result in a multidisciplinary reconsideration of eleventh-century schedography, a method of teaching Greek grammar that significantly impacted text production in Greek for more than five centuries. In Oxford, he is also the Principal Investigator of two projects funded by the John Fell Fund. The TORCH Network Poetry in the Medieval World is a platform to discuss premodern poetry from a global perspective. Euripides Byzantinus explores how Byzantine learned readers understood and modified the text of Euripides. He is also a research affiliate at Ghent University, where he co-organizes the Ghent Seminars on the Greek Language.
