To Gabriella. Studies in memory of Gabriella Braga

I graduated in Classics in 1969 at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Later I taught Codicology at the School for Archivists and Librarians of the same University and Latin Palaeography at the University of Cassino. My main research topics are the scripts and materials of medieval manuscriptsand charters. More recently I devoted myself to the study and description of incunabula.

She was director and co-director of excavations and surveys in Sardinia, Corsica and African provinces.
