I'm assistant curator of manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum and a specialist in Italian, German, and Ethiopian illuminated manuscripts, with a special focus on liturgical and devotional books. I've curated a variety of manuscripts exhibitions at the Getty Center, including Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance: Painting and Illumination, 1300-1350, Music for the Masses: Illuminated Choir Books, Building the Medieval World: Architecture in Illuminated Manuscripts, and Shrine and Shroud: Textiles in Illuminated Manuscripts. I'm editor of the book Florence at the Dawn of the Renaissance: Painting and Illumination, 1300-1350 and author of Building the Medieval World from Getty Publications.
