Chiara Ruzzier is a distinguished researcher specializing in medieval writing practices, manuscript studies, and biblical transmission. Holding a Doctorate from the University of Namur (Belgium), she maintains an active research profile with significant contributions to the understanding of medieval libraries, book production, and religious manuscript traditions.
Her research interests focus on medieval manuscript production, particularly examining Bible manuscripts from the 11th to 15th centuries. She investigates textual typology in Benedictine libraries, material choices in written artifacts, and the evolution of portable Bibles during the 13th century. Her work bridges historical analysis with codicological and bio-codicological approaches to understand the physical aspects of medieval books.
Ruzzier's publication trends reveal a consistent focus on manuscript materiality and biblical transmission, with increasing attention to methodological approaches in analyzing written artifacts. Her recent work (2021-2025) demonstrates sophisticated interdisciplinary methods combining historical research with material analysis of manuscripts.
