Curriculum

Anna Cappellotto è Professoressa Associata di Filologia e Linguistica Germanica. Le sue ricerche riguardano la ricezione dell'Antichità nel Medioevo germanico (Ovidio, Virgilio), specialmente di area tedesca, e lo sviluppo della leggenda di Teoderico da Verona in area tedesca e nordica. Si occupa inoltre di teoria e pratica dell'edizione scientifica nelle tradizioni volgari germaniche, con un focus sull'edizione document-oriented (frammenti, manoscritti illustrati, tradizioni ad alta variabilità testuale). È specializzata nella filologia digitale e in particolare nella rappresentazione del testo attraverso gli standard di codifica XML/TEI. Nell'ambito dell'Edizione Scientifica Digitale, ha recentemente iniziato a occuparsi di accessibilità e inclusione. Collabora nel team del progetto "Les Metamorfosis d’Ovidi en vernacle transformades per la impremta" (Universitat de Barcelona). 
Anna Cappellotto is Associate Professor of Germanic Philology and Linguistics. Her research focuses on the reception of Antiquity in the Germanic Middle Ages (Ovid, Virgil), especially in the Middle High German context, and on the development of the legend of Theoderic of Verona in the Germanic and Nordic traditions.

She specialises in digital philology and she works specifically on text representation through XML/TEI encoding standards. She has recently started working on digital scholarly editions, accessibility, and inclusion. She works in the team of the project "Les Metamorfosis d’Ovidi en vernacle transformades per la impremta" (Universitat de Barcelona).
