INSTRUCTOR
Robert Ziomkowski
Robert Ziomkowski has degrees in History from Siena College (B.A., 1991), Cornell University (M.A., 1994; Ph.D., 2000), and the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (L.M.S., 2002). His research focuses on medieval Platonism and cosmology. His publications include a translation and study of a text by the eleventh-century thinker Manegold of Lautenbach, as well as a study guide for Western Civilization and articles in the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas and PLOS ONE (“Mathematical Philology”). He attended Fr. Reginald Foster’s summer Latin course in 1994 while doing manuscript research in the Vatican Library, and his fascination with human languages has merged with an interest in computer languages (JavaScript, Python) for the creation of computerized Latin exercises. His other interests include animation and video editing; with his students at Ithaca College, he produced a short film in Latin on Homer’s Odyssey entitled Ulixes.
