Max Matukhin received his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Princeton University in 2023. His research interests revolve around medieval Romance literature, with a particular focus on the reception of Old French texts in fourteenth-century Italy. Since 2021, Matukhin has also been involved in a collaborative digital humanities project entitled “Literary Visualization,” which aims to create a philological visual commentary to Dante’s Comedy by combining the resources of Princeton’s Index of Medieval Art with the Princeton Dante Project. Matukhin’s publications range in subject from literary evocations of penitential practices to medieval forms of intertextuality and rimaneggiamento, and include essays which have appeared or are forthcoming in The Decameron Ninth Day in Perspective, Heliotropia, Bibliotheca Dantesca, and Mediaevalia.
