Introduction
My main line of research has been the intellectual history of the Renaissance, with a focus on the history of political thought, especially in relation to the European and transatlantic policies of the Habsburgs. I have also researched the literary theory of the period and have prepared several critical editions of literary works and translations of Latin texts.
