Welcome!

I am Caterina Agostini, a historian of science and digital humanist specializing in the study and digital interpretation of historical manuscripts. My work focuses on reading, analyzing, and encoding Sir Isaac Newton’s previously unpublished alchemical manuscripts. I am currently writing a book on Galileo Galilei’s letters (Oxford University Press) and translating and curating a parallel text edition of Andreas Vesalius’s treatise on syphilis (Brill Publishers).

I have contributed to five prestigious grants funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), and I have authored over sixty scholarly works, including articles, book chapters, and digital projects.

In addition to my research, I actively contribute to the scholarly community. I co-chair the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) and the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), fostering engagement with cultural heritage and advancing digital scholarship.
