Claudio Giammona

Claudio Giammona serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Literature and Culture at Sapienza University of Rome, specializing in Classical Philology (SSD: L-FIL-LET/05). His academic trajectory spans research fellowships and progressive faculty appointments since 2011, culminating in his current position focused on textual transmission and medieval reception of classical materials.

Education:

• Laurea in Classics (Sapienza University of Rome)
• PhD in Philology and History of the Ancient World (Sapienza University of Rome)

His research centers on the reception of ancient grammatical texts in early medieval educational contexts, particularly examining how late antique materials were adapted for elementary Latin instruction. Key contributions include critical editions of the Ars Ambianensis and studies on Priscian's De Accentibus, bridging classical philology with medieval manuscript studies. His methodology integrates textual criticism with historical analysis of pedagogical practices across antiquity and the Carolingian era.

Analysis of his publication record reveals consistent focus on textual transmission mechanisms, manuscript traditions, and the evolution of grammatical treatises. His work demonstrates particular expertise in elementary Latin teaching materials, with recurring themes of adaptation, error propagation, and cultural reception from late antiquity through the early Middle Ages.

Giammona maintains active research leadership through the PRIN project "Le tradizioni della linguistica antica" (as local unit director) and the ERC-funded PAGES project ("Priscian's Ars Grammatica in European Scriptoria"). His grant portfolio includes multiple national projects from 2007-2017 examining textual transmission, translation practices, and classical reception in educational contexts.

He directs collaborative research teams specializing in digital approaches to medieval texts and classical transmission, contributing to initiatives that merge traditional philology with computational methodologies for manuscript analysis and edition preparation.
