Alejandro Coroleu Lletget

Alejandro Coroleu Lletget serves as a Research Professor in the Department of Catalan Studies at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), concurrently holding an ICREA Research staff position and affiliation with the Institute for Medieval Studies. His academic foundation includes a Ph.D. in Classical Philology from Universitat de Barcelona awarded on April 5, 1993.

Coroleu Lletget's research centers on classical text transmission in medieval Iberia, with primary expertise in Cicero and Virgil reception within Crown of Aragon's vernacular culture (1380-1530). His fingerprint reveals dominant specializations in Renaissance literature, Iberian Peninsula studies, 15th-century textual traditions, and Catalunya-focused scholarship, emphasizing political dimensions of translation and classical humanism's vernacular adaptation.

Recent publications demonstrate sustained focus on Catalan translation history, particularly political valence in royal-era texts and cross-Mediterranean Cicero reception. His work increasingly integrates digital humanities approaches, evidenced by contributions to the Corpus digital de textos catalanes medievales project. Current research trajectories expand into late-medieval book circulation networks and comparative analysis of classical translations across Italy, France, and Iberia.

Coroleu Lletget directs significant research initiatives including THE TRASTAMARA OF ARAGON (1412-1516) (2024-2028) and previously led TRANSLATION AND READERSHIP IN THE CROWN OF ARAGON (1380-1530) (2020-2024), both funded by Spanish national agencies. Earlier projects include Traducción al catalán y cultura latina en la Corona de Aragón (2015-2018) and Corpus digital de textos catalanes medievales 3 (2012-2015), reflecting consistent grant acquisition since 2012. His collaborative network spans European institutions with frequent partnerships involving Lluís Cabré Ollé, Josep Pujol Gómez, and international Renaissance scholars.

As Principal Investigator on multiple projects, he mentors junior researchers within UAB's medieval studies ecosystem and contributes to the Institute for Medieval Studies' scholarly environment through collective translation databases and cross-departmental research seminars focused on classical reception in vernacular contexts.
