Recent research projects: 

Claudia Tardelli Terry is currently revising her new critical edition of Francesco da Buti’s commentary (1385-96) on Dante’s Commedia for publication. The edition will be published by Salerno (Rome) as part of the series ‘Edizione Nazionale dei Commenti Danteschi’ in several volumes. With Dr Ambrogio Camozzi Pistoja, she has recently concluded a monograph (in press with Brepols Publisher) on the oldest ‘Florentine’ version of the life of Alexander the Great (c. 1350), witnessed by a lavishly illuminated manuscript now at the Jagiellonian Library, Kraków. She has also started to reflect on her next book-length project, ‘Dante and Late Medieval Pisa’, whose aim is to explore the vibrant and influential reception of Dante’s Commedia in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Pisa, especially in relation to the city’s longstanding political and cultural rivalry with Florence.
