My name is Mark Thakkar.  I work on late mediaeval philosophy, focussing on the first half of the 14th century, and am currently finishing a DPhil thesis at Oxford on "Peter Auriol and the Logic of the Future".  I am particularly interested in the philosophy of language and in the history of mathematics and of science.

My interests are French Renaissance literature, mostly prose, and history of
ideas. I am presently working on the various forms the notion of the androgyne--
in its broadest sense-- takes in 16 century France.

I am affiliated with the Section des
Sciences Historiques et Philologiques, Ecole Pratique des Hautes
Etudes (Paris) and the Department of Hebrew and Aramaic Studies,
Universidad Complutense (Madrid) as a doctoral researcher.

I work on Spanish and Italian Hebraists in the first half of the
sixteenth century as well as with the codicology of Hebrew manuscripts
in the Early Modern Age and the relationship between manuscript and
printed books in the early days of the printing press.

My name is David Rankine, I am a freelance researcher and author with
a passion for the Renaissance, and have published a number of works on
the grimoires from that period. I found your site whilst conducting
some research on Abbot Trithemius, and thought it looked an excellent
resource and place to meet others with similar interests, and hence my
application.
