• Medieval and Renaissance Italian and Old Occitan
• Material philology
• Textual editing
• Manuscript and early printed book cultures

I teach courses and write on early Italian and Old Occitan literature, material philology and manuscript cultures, textual editing, and early printed books. Since 2000 my work has focused especially on the notion and application of visual poetics in medieval texts and on the interactive online Petrarch Project (dcl.slis.indiana.edu/petrarchive/), funded by grants from Indiana University (New Frontiers) and the NEH (Scholarly Editions). The project includes my new edition of the Rerum vulgarium fragmenta. I am the Series Editor of Textual Cultures: Theory and Praxis (Indiana University Press) and the Founding Editor of Textual Cultures: Texts, Contexts, Interpretation (formerly TEXT [Society for Textual Scholarship]) and Associate Editor of Medioevo letterario d’Italia.
