Whedbee's research centers on the transmission of Greco-Roman textual practices into medieval scholarship, specifically examining how ars grammatica (classical formal grammar) shaped sacra pagina (medieval biblical exegesis). His current projects involve critical editions of Peter Comestor's Luke commentaries and Hilarius of Orléans' Virgil commentary, bridging classical philology with medieval manuscript traditions. His expertise spans Latin paleography, codicology, and the intellectual history of biblical interpretation in Europe.
