Gerard González Germain (UAB)

Joan Carbonell Manils (UAB)
For more than two decades (1985–2005), he has devoted his research to the biography, correspondence, and scholarly output of the humanist Antonio Agustín (1517–1586), focusing on his work as a numismatist and epigraphist. This led him to examine the humanistic circles of Rome in the decade 1545–1555, in which Agustín participated alongside distinguished humanists such as Pantagato, Orsini, Latinio, and especially Matal. As a result of this line of research, in the last two decades his work has turned toward manuscript-based epigraphy, through the study of the manuscript sylloges produced in the Renaissance. In recent years, this objective has taken shape in the study of the printed volume Epigrammata antiquae urbis (Rome, 1521) as well as other 16th‑century epigraphic-antiquarian editions. Over these years he has made known previously unpublished epigraphic sylloges, identified the hand behind some sylloges formerly considered anonymous, and uncovered various unknown inscriptions.
