Silvia DI VINCENZO

Silvia Di Vincenzo obtained a dual PhD in Philosophy from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa and in Arabic Studies (Études arabes et civilisation du monde musulman) from the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris in 2018.

Her research focuses on exploring the transmission of ideas from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Currently, she studies the reinterpretation of Aristotelian logic within the Arabic tradition, as well as its reception in Latin and Hebrew, with a particular emphasis on the discipline's marginal areas and its intersections with other sciences. Her methodology combines the conceptual analysis of texts with the study of their material transmission through ancient and medieval manuscripts.

As of March 1, 2025, she is an Associate Professor of History of Medieval Philosophy at Ca' Foscari University of Venice and Principal Investigator of the ERC Starting Grant 2024 project, "The Uncharted Margins of Philosophy: An AI-Enhanced Material History of Arabic Logic Across Time (12th–19th c.) and Frontiers (from Spain to India)" (UnMaP).
