Luc Deitz - Biography#


Luc Deitz read classics and philosophy at the universities of Luxembourg, Paris, and Tübingen. After a four-year stint as an assistant in Latin philology to Manfred Fuhrmann at the University of Konstanz, he spent five years as a Research fellow at the Warburg Institute (London). He was appointed curator of manuscripts and rare books at the Bibliothèque nationale du Luxembourg in 1998. Parallel to this, he pursues a teaching career at the University of Trier (Germany), where he was appointed Professor extraordinary (ausserplanmässig) for Mediaeval and Renaissance Latin in 2009. He serves on the editorial boards of Neulateinisches Jahrbuch, of Renaissance Quarterly and of the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes (elected for a five year period starting 2023), and is a member of several advisory boards of collections devoted to Neo-Latin and early modern studies. Deitz is regularly asked to peer-review articles for many leading journals in his field (e.g., Erudition and the Republic of Letters, Intellectual History Review, Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes) and has repeatedly evaluated major research projects, inter alia for the Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek – Vlaanderen (FWO – Brussels), the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung, and the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS – Wassenaar). He has lectured widely in Europe, Israel, Canada, and North America.
