Former fellow of the École française de Rome (1996-1999), I was Head of the Department of Rare books and Special collections at Bibliothèque-Carré d’Art, Nîmes (1995-1996), Deputy Director of the Cité du livre–bibliothèque Méjanes in Aix-en-Provence (2000-2006) and Senior Lecturer in modern and contemporary history, Director of the Centre Gabriel Naudé, at Enssib, Lyon (2006-2013).

Research

My main interests are the history of philology, the history of scholarship and the transmission of classics in the Sixteenth Century; the Republic of Letters; the history of the book and publishing and the relationship between humanists and publishers, mainly in Italy, France and the European humanist printers; the cultural history of Florence and Rome in the Sixteenth Century; the history of private libraries in the modern period.

I am one of the convenors of the London Research Seminar in History of Libraries, funded by 3 Institutes in the School of Advanced Study and the Libraries History Interest Group, CILIP and co-director of the programme The Book and Print Initiative, School of Advanced Study. I am co-convenor of the seminar Rediscovering Byzantium: an Italian history (British School at Rome).

I received fellowships and research grants from the École française de Rome, the Newberry Library, the Herzog August Bibliothek, the Willison Charitable Trust, the Mission historique française in Allemagne, the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (UCLA), the Society for Renaissance Studies, and Région Rhône-Alpes. I was visiting professor in the University of Créteil (2022).

I am member of the advisory board of the funded projects Writing Bilingually, 1465-1700: Self-translated books in Italy and France (convenor Dr Sara Miglietti, London) and LUXART: Consommer, décrire et théoriser le luxe et les arts entre Espagne et Italie : le royaume de Naples au XVe siècle (convenor Dr Florence Bistagne, Avignon)

I am PI or CI in various funded-projects focused on the history of the book and libraries: Biblyon (livre et création littéraire à Lyon au XVIe siècle, région Rhône Alpes, 2010-2013), Illustrations in 16th c. books printed in Lyon (Biblissima, 2017-2020), Bibliothèques privées à l'Epoque moderne (région Rhône-Alpes, 2009-2012).

Library Information Science

I have edited the handbook for French Librarians (Le métier de bibliothécaire, 2003, 2nd ed. revised 2007) and written, with the help of many colleagues, the handbook for French Rare Books and Special Collection librarians (Manuel du patrimoine en bibliothèque, 2007). I published various articles and curated books on heritage collections in Libraries. I was head of the Rare Books and Special Collections Section, IFLA (2009-2013).

Teaching and supervising

I have taught the history of the book and libraries, the humanist book in early modern times, as well as management and care of documentary heritage in libraries. I have organised and taught lessons on techniques and methodology of research and scholarship. I organise training sessions for Rare Books Librarians at Enssib.

I have supervised numerous dissertations (mémoires de master 1 et 2) on the history of the book (particularly in Lyon in the 16th century), history of private libraries, history of scholarship, cultural history, history of public libraries and librarians in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, management of heritage collections in libraries.

I currently supervise PhDs at the Warburg Institute and the Institute of English Studies (University of London) on the following topics: Cultural history and History of the Book (16th c.), History of Libraries (17th-18th c.), History of the Transmission and Representation of Classical Culture (16th-18th c., 20th-21th c.), History of scientific books (19th c.).
