Natalia Lozovsky

Natalia Lozovsky is a medievalist and translator, whose research focuses on science and geography in the medieval period.[1][2][3] She has also demonstrated how ninth and tenth century works on geography, often draw on other literary traditions, such as exegesis.[4] She also writes on how classical knowledge of geography was received by medieval Christian scholarship.[5] She has worked on the lives and writings of Isidore of Seville, Dicuil, Ravenna Cosmographer and Orosius, amongst others.[6][7][8][9][10]

In 2011 she was appointed a research associate at the Office for the History of Science and Technology at University of California, Berkeley.[11] She has an MA from Moscow University and a PhD from the University of Colorado.[11]

Reception edit

In February 2001, J Francis Watson wrote that "The Earth is Our Book": Geographical Knowledge in the Latin West Ca. 400-1000 broke "new ground in the fields of medieval studies and history of science".[9] Evelyn Edson described the work as "valuable contribution to the understanding of the design and function of later mappae mundi".[12]
