N. Kıvılcım Yavuz 

N. Kıvılcım Yavuz is the first Ann Hyde Postdoctoral Researcher of the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas, working on enhancing access to the library’s substantial holdings of medieval and early modern European manuscripts. Previously, she was Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Arnamagnæan Institute at the University of Copenhagen. Her work on Latin manuscripts in the Arnamagnæan Collection resulted in the rediscovery of a long-thought-to-be-lost library catalogue of Ferdinand Columbus among other findings. Between August 2016 and August 2018, she was Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Arnamagnæan Institute at the University of Copenhagen, working on her EU-funded project entitled “Transtextual Networks in the European Middle Ages: A Digital Corpus of the Trojan Narrative in Latin Manuscripts,” during when she created a catalog of around 300 manuscripts (transtextual.net). She has a BA in Comparative Literature (Istanbul Bilgi University) and an MA and a PhD in Medieval Studies (University of Leeds). She has taught courses on the history of the late antique, medieval and Renaissance Europe, medieval European literature, manuscript studies and digital humanities in Leeds, Copenhagen, Reykjavík, Leipzig and Lawrence, KS.
