Guy Geltner is a broadly trained social urban historian with a focus on the archival basis of Italian city-states from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries. He is committed to comparative history, exploring the intertwining of space and time within his research.

He has actively engaged with spatial analysis, employing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and a variety of (bio)archaeological evidence to deepen his inquiries. His research encompasses team projects concerning the Franciscans in the Holy Land and Mamluks, as well as anti-corruption efforts from antiquity to the present day, and public hygiene in urban Europe between 1200 and 1500. More recently, Geltner has begun exploring non-urban mobile communities, focusing on subjects such as armies, courts, and pilgrims within western Europe. He is dedicated to the supervision of PhD theses that cover a vast array of topics related to his expertise, engaging with the UN Sustainable Development Goals through his scholarly work.
