After obtaining her first degree from the University of Bologna and her PhD from the University of Padua, in July 2000 Francesca Tinti joined the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic at the University of Cambridge (UK), where, for five years, she worked as Research Associate for the Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England project. In 2005 she returned to the University of Bologna to teach English and European Medieval History. In 2009 she was selected to join the Department of Medieval, Modern and American History at the University of the Basque Country as Ikerbasque Research Professor.
She has published extensively on early medieval religious, cultural and social history, especially Anglo-Saxon England. She has also worked on Rome and the papacy and has a special interest in digital humanities. She has directed several research projects, including the Digital Edition of the Becerro Galicano of San Millán de la Cogolla. Her most recent project explores the roles of language in early medieval charters, focusing on the relationships between Latin and vernaculars in records from Anglo-Saxon England and Eastern Francia.
She has supervised undergraduate and graduate students at Cambridge, Bologna and UPV/EHU and welcomes further proposals from prospective doctoral students.
