Felix Heinzer

Felix Heinzer is a Senior Professor at the University of Hamburg's Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures, where he researches medieval Latin manuscripts, monastic traditions, and liturgical practices. His scholarship examines how manuscripts functioned as both textual objects and ritual actors within medieval religious communities.

Recent publications explore Reichenau Abbey's knowledge culture, the performative role of manuscripts in liturgical contexts, and Cistercian manuscript production. Heinzer's work bridges paleography, codicology, and cultural history to understand medieval knowledge transmission.
