Associate ProfessorI studied history, Latin philology, French literature and linguistics at Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, where I started to teach in 1985 with a grant from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. I was working on late medieval French projects concerning the recovery of the Holy Land. Following a year at Oxford University, I received a Ph.D. scholarship at Princeton. The four years spent there saw my conversion to Late Antiquity (1989-93). I came home with great enthusiasm to teach at the newly established Medieval Studies Department at CEU, and I continued teaching at ELTE too.
