Curriculum Vitae

C. Philipp E. Nothaft studied modern and ancient history and philosophy at the University of Munich, where he obtained a PhD in history in 2011. He has since held positions at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Martin Buber Society of Fellows in the Humanities), University College London (research associate at the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies), and the Warburg Institute (Frances A. Yates Long-term Fellow). In 2015, he became a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. His principal research topic are the intertwined histories of mathematical astronomy, chronology, and time-reckoning in medieval and early modern Europe. A major component of his work in these fields consists in the analysis and critical editing of unpublished sources in medieval Latin manuscripts.
