Person

During my studies in St Petersburg (2007–2014) I mainly focused on Lucan's Pharsalia, especially on the author's use of geography and natural history of his time. Eventually, however, I also became fond of Swedish Neo-Latin literature. In 2019, I defended a PhD thesis on a bilingual work by Johannes Widekindi, the Swedish historiographer of the Realm. In it, I was mainly concerned with the origins of the work, its sources and the relation between the Swedish and the Latin versions.

I am currently participating in the project The Carmina Suecorum Poetarum Latina of Samuel Älf, funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. The aim is to provide a detailed description of Älf's immense collection of Swedish Neo-Latin poetry.
I am also one of the editors of the forthcoming anthology Neo-Latin and Humanist Greek Poetry in the Baltic Region, containing over 100 contributions by the colleagues from the Baltic area.
My other research interests include Neo-Latin epigraphy and Latin textual criticism.
