András Németh

I obtained MA degrees in Latin and Greek Literature, and History at Eötvös Lóránd University (Budapest) as well as in Medieval Studies at Central European University where I was finally awarded a PhD degree in 2010. In the meantime, the interest in classical and medieval manuscripts brought me to University College London where I studied Linear B script and Greek papyrology (2002), to Oxford, Lincoln College where I learnt the basics of Greek paleography (2006), to Athens, National and Kapodistrian University (2006–7 and 2009) where my various interests met in the study of the tenth-century reception of classical and Late Antique historiography. In this field I co-organized the International Symposium “Centre and Periphery in the Age of Constantine VII” in Budapest in 2009. I have been involved in two projects, in the revision of the catalogue of the medieval Latin manuscripts at the Hungarian National Library (since 2008) and in the reconstruction of the Greek holdings of the Renaissance Library of King Matthias Corvinus coordinated by the Greek Department, Eötvös Lóránd University (since 2009). In September 2011, I joined the project "Learned Practices of Canonical Texts" at Max Planck Institute for the History of Science.
