Biography

Elisabetta Barili is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern Denmark in the Department of Culture and Language. She holds a Ph.D. in Humanities from the same university, where her thesis focused on providing a critical edition and English translation of John Tzetzes’ Commentary on Hermogenes’ treatise On Forms. Her research promotes understanding of the reception of Hermogenes’ rhetorical theory in twelfth-century Byzantine scholarship, highlighting the impact of Tzetzes' work on authorial voice and the construction of originality in rhetorical theory. Barili has a background in classical modern philology and literature, graduating with honors from the University of Parma. Her research interests include authorship, Byzantine scholarship, commentaries, the role of rhetoric in Byzantine literary culture, philology, and palaeography. She has actively participated in various conferences and workshops, focusing on different aspects of Byzantine literature and rhetoric, and has contributed to projects aimed at exploring pseudonymity and education in Byzantine contexts.
