David Wrisley (Ph.D., Princeton) is an Assistant Professor in the Civilization Sequence Program. 

 I am a specialist in medieval European literature and culture, particularly late medieval France, the court of Burgundy and the Low Countries. 

 I have published on hagiography and medieval romance, the history of translation, Christine de Pisan, epic poetry and medieval travel literature.  I have secondary research interests in the medieval and pre-modern Maghreb as well as contemporary novels from the southern and eastern Mediterranean (French and Arabic).

 My current book project concerns the images of the Eastern Mediterranean and Islamic world in the Library of Burgundy (15th century).
