About the laureate
Dr Caterina Tarlazzi specializes in the history of medieval philosophy, and her research interests are focused on the issue of universals, with particular attention to the thought of Peter Abelard. In her research she combines an interest in logic and metaphysics with a quest for sources of unpublished manuscripts and textual criticism. Her published works include a critique of Epistola de anima by Isaac of Stella. She has also discovered a new version of De discretione animae, spiritus et mentis by Achard of Saint Victor, as well as a previously unknown manuscript of Periesichen Augustini, a text resembling the works of Alan of Lille. Her recent research investigates the realist theories of genera and species, starting with the 12th century, on the basis of both published and unpublished sources, and explores their connections to the views of Peter Abelard.
Dr Caterina Tarlazzi defended her doctoral thesis in 2013 in the cotutelle model, earning a Doctor Europaeus degree granted jointly by Universit? degli Studi di Padova in Italy and Université Paris IV Sorbonne in France. She was then awarded a three-year fellowship by the British Academy at the University of Cambridge. Since 2017 she has worked at the University of Geneva. She has also been awarded a number of fellowships under grant programmes, including the Ambizione Fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship, as well as several distinctions and awards for her research.
