I have several current projects. The largest is a recently started critical edition of a 14th century Latin translation of Marco Polo's description of his long stay in the East. The beginning of this project was funded by C.M. Lericis stiftelse which enabled me to spend half a year working at the Vatican Library.

One of my smaller projects is a pilot project about causation in the work of Livy and Gregory of Tours, funded by Åke Wibergs stiftelse, Hagendahls stiftelse and Helge Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse. The other is a study about the Carta Marina and the work of Johannes and Olaus Magnus. I recently completed a monograph about marginalia by King Eric XIV of Sweden, Royal Marginalia. King Eric XIV of Sweden as a Reader, which was published in the series Studia Graeca et Latina Lundensia in 2021.
