Research Areas
My primary interest lies in the study of the Greek Bible within the context of Hellenistic Judaism, including its reception and transmission history. With a particular passion for palaeography and codicology, I have participated in several research stays. Additionally, I am deeply engaged with Eastern Christianity. My Habilitation project is focused on King Solomon.
