    Ilaria L.

    E. Ramelli (born 1973) is an Italian-born historian, scholarly author, and university professor, a specialist in ancient, late antique, and early mediaeval philosophy, especially the Platonic and Stoic traditions; ancient Christian philosophy, theology, and history, Hellenistic Judaism and Jewish-Christian relations; ancient religions and their philosophical interpretations; classics; and imperial and late antiquity.[1] She is interested in the relationship between theology and philosophy in ancient "pagan," Jewish, and Christian thought and endeavors to bridge the gap between these disciplines and promote an integrative study of antiquity and late antiquity.[2] Ramelli is also very much interested in contemporary philosophy, theology, and social and ethical issues, as her scholarly and popular publications attest.[3]

    Academic appointments

    Ramelli has been since 2013 Full Professor of Theology and endowed Chair,[4] and (elected) Senior Research Fellow at Durham University, as well as at Oxford University, Christ Church (Fowler Hamilton Fellow), at Erfurt University's Max Weber Centre and at Humboldt University, Berlin (within a "Forschungspreis" from the Humboldt Foundation), and at CEU Institute for Advanced Study; and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.[5] Previously, she served as Professor of Roman History (from 2002/3), Senior Research Fellow in Ancient and Patristic Philosophy (both at Durham University, for an earlier fellowship, and at Oxford University, Corpus Christi),[6] in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University,[7] in Religion (Erfurt, Max-Weber-Kolleg),[8] and in Ancient Philosophy (Catholic University, 2003–present), Senior Visiting Professor of Greek Thought (Harvard; BU),[9] of Church History, of Patristics, and director of international research projects.
