Dr Moreed Arbabzadah

I completed my BA, MPhil and PhD in Classics at Jesus College, Cambridge, after which I began focussing on Medieval Latin. I have recently been working with Professor Elisabeth van Houts (Cambridge), Professor Ad Putter (Bristol) and Dr Sjoerd Levelt (Bristol) on a Leverhulme Trust project that explores contacts between Dutch and English speakers in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, titled ‘The Literary Heritage of Anglo-Dutch Relations, c. 1050–c. 1600’. Since October 2022 I have been working on a Leverhulme Trust project on the writings of Gerald of Wales alongside Professor Thomas Charles-Edwards (Jesus, Oxford) and Professor Paul Russell (Cambridge). I am also working with Professor Hugh Thomas (University of Miami) to create an edition of a text on Henry the Young King for the series Oxford Medieval Texts.

My research interests include Greek and Latin linguistics (especially bilingualism), epigraphy, textual criticism and Medieval Latin.

My hobbies include music (I can just about play the violin), poetry, football (defender, except when I can convince the captain otherwise) and cricket (occasionally competent fielder with little else to offer).
