She has since published several articles on the topic, and is currently working on a book entitled Self-Translation in Renaissance France.

Ms Eugenia Sisto (Warburg Institute)
Ms Eugenia Sisto (Warburg Institute)
Eugenia earned her MA degree in Philology, Literatures, and History of Antiquity from the University of Turin (2022), and was an Erasmus student at UCL in 2019/2020 and 2022.
Her work is broadly concerned with Neo-Latin and the modern reception of ancient languages and cultures. She wrote her BA dissertation on Fernando Bandini (1931-2013), an Italian Neo-Latin author and self-translator, also editing his unpublished Epistula ad Andream Zanzotto poetam. More recently, Eugenia worked on the multilingual digital project SERICA, which explored connections between Europe and China through texts, images, and documents from the 2nd century BC until the 20th century. Her task was to transcribe and translate a manuscript by Niccolò Longobardi (1559-1654), Recentissima de amplissimo regno Chinae. Item de statu rei Christianae apud magnum regem Mogor. Et de morte Taicosamae Iaponiorum monarchae (1601). She is currently co-editing a translation with commentary of Ludovico Antonio Muratori's De Spectaculis et Ludis Publicis, Dissertatio XXIX (1738-1742), with Andrea Balbo and Giuseppe Noto.
On Writing Bilingually, Eugenia is researching how the theory and practice of self-translation in Renaissance Italy related to contemporaneous language debates (questione della lingua).
