Ugo Mondini

Ugo Mondini is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oxford specializing in medieval and early modern Greek literature, with research focusing on the evolution of Greek language poetics in literary texts. He serves as Principal Investigator for two John Fell Fund projects and is a research affiliate at Ghent University.

His research centers on Byzantine and Ottoman Greek literary traditions, notably exploring Manuel Philes' psalm adaptations and Ioannes Mauropous' poetry. His current British Academy project re-examines eleventh-century schedography—a Greek grammar teaching method that influenced Greek text production for over five centuries.

Mondini leads the TORCH Network Poetry in the Medieval World, fostering global premodern poetry discourse, and directs Euripides Byzantinus, analyzing Byzantine interpretations of Euripides. At Ghent University, he co-organizes the Ghent Seminars on the Greek Language, bridging academic communities across institutions.

As Principal Investigator for John Fell Fund projects, he manages interdisciplinary collaborations examining Byzantine textual practices and classical reception. His work integrates philological analysis with historical pedagogy studies, particularly investigating how educational frameworks shaped literary production in Greek-speaking communities under Byzantine and Ottoman rule.
