Dr Jacopo Bisagni

Jacopo Bisagni studied Classics, Celtic linguistics and Indo-European linguistics at the University of Pisa, Italy, where he graduated in 2004. At NUI Galway he was awarded a PhD in 2008 for his thesis entitled Amrae Coluimb Chille: a Critical Edition, which he is currently revising for publication in book form. He has taught widely in early Irish, Latin language, and historical linguistics, and his research area ranges from Celtic and Indo-European linguistics to the study of Medieval Irish monastic literature. More specific interests concern the question of Latin/Old Irish bilingualism in Medieval Ireland (see Projects page), as well as the origin and nature of some 'abnormal' syntactical patterns to be found in Archaic Irish texts.
