David Rundle
David Rundle is Senior Lecturer in Latin and Palaeography in the Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Kent. He trained in Oxford as an intellectual and cultural historian and in his research deploys the material evidence of medieval manuscripts—their construction, script, annotations and provenance—to trace the movement of ideas across Europe. This approach is on display in his most recent monograph, The Renaissance Reform of the Book and Britain (Cambridge University Press, 2019). He is also a manuscript cataloger, having produced with Ralph Hanna the catalog of Christ Church, Oxford (Oxford Bibliographical Society, 2017), and is working with Hanna on the collection of Magdalen College, Oxford. In addition, Rundle has a long-standing interest in the emerging subdiscipline of fragment studies, as shown by the website he founded, Lost Manuscripts. In case this is not enough to keep him busy, he is also Managing Editor of Medium Ævum, and blogs in admittedly desultory fashion on Bonae Litterae.
