Biography
General introduction
My research examines the roles and development of visual elements including decoration, illustration and colours of manuscripts and printed books produced in fifteenth-century Europe. I aim to understand the impact of the invention of typography in creating new visual vocabularies of the book, some of which have survived to this day. My recent interests include colours, pigments and inks used in fifteenth-century books. I am also interested in employing digital technology for my research.

Reseach overview
My research examines the roles and development of visual elements including decoration, illustration, and colour of manuscripts and printed books produced in Europe between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries. At present I am conducting research on the visual elements of the books published by Peter Schöffer, a pioneer of typography who was active in Mainz in the second half of the 15th century.
