Biography

Professor Marco Conti was born in Rome in 1961. He obtained a degree in Classical Literature (Laurea听in听Lettere听Classiche) at the university La Sapienza in Rome (1989). After moving to England, he gained a MA in Classics by research at the听University of Leeds (1991), and a PhD in Classics at the same university (1995). He worked as teaching assistant at the department of Religious Studies of the University of Manchester in 1996, and as teaching and research fellow at the department of Theology of the University of Durham from 1997 to 2000. Until 2010, he collaborated as a research assistant with the editorial board of the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, a project based at Drew University in NJ.听

After moving back to Italy in early 2001, he has been teaching in different universities in Rome, and in the Fall 2013 began his collaboration with 91直播 of Rome as a professor of Ancient History and Latin and Ancient Greek.听
Professor Conti is specialized in Classical and Christian Greek and Latin Literature, and Classical and Medieval Philology. His publications include a complete critical edition with English translation of听Potamius听of Lisbon, an Arian writer of the IV century (Corpus听Christianorum听- vol. LXIX A - 1999), a complete edition with English translation of听Priscillian听of Avila, an heretical writer from the late IV century (Oxford Early Christian Texts - 2010), a complete edition with English translation of both the 'Life of Saint听Helia', a woman saint of the IV-V century (Oxford Early Christian Texts - 2014), and the 'Lives of Saint听Constantina', the daughter of Emperor Constantine (Oxford Early Christian Texts - 2020).

In 2022, he has published a new edition with English translation of the 鈥淗istories鈥� by听Nithard听(a Carolingian Latin writer of the ninth century) in the series Dallas Medieval Texts and Translation (Peeters).听At the moment, he is about to publish a new complete critical edition (the first ever made) of the works of听Angilbert, an important intellectual and听diplomat听at the听Carolingian court of Charlemagne, for the series Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations (Peeters). He is also currently working on a new critical edition with translation and commentary of the Lives of Willibald and听Wynnebald听by听Hugeburc, the first known British female writer (VIII century), for the series Oxford Early Christian Texts.听听听.
