Erika Dell'Aquila
Biography
I am a doctoral candidate in Romance Philology in the Doctoral Programme of the Department of Language and Communication Studies at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥. My research project centers on the French and Swedish prose versions of the Vita Amici et Amelii Carissimorum, a popular 11th-century legend.
I earned my MA in April 2024 from the University of Milano, where my thesis examined the Romance and Scandinavian versions of Floire et Blancheflor.
Research interests
My research centers on the transmission of medieval European texts, particularly on how various versions of the same work circulate across Europe, adapt to diverse social, cultural, and literary contexts, and the different translation strategies employed. My primary focus is on Romance and Scandinavian literature and philology, and I possess expertise in manuscript studies and codicology.
