Natalia Lozovsky Explained

Natalia Lozovsky is a medievalist and translator, whose research focuses on science and geography in the medieval period.^{[1] [2] [3]} She has also demonstrated how ninth and tenth century works on geography, often draw on other literary traditions, such as exegesis.^[4] She also writes on how classical knowledge of geography was received by medieval Christian scholarship.^[5] She has worked on the lives and writings of Isidore of Seville, Dicuil, Ravenna Cosmographer and Orosius, amongst others.^{[6] [7] [8]}

In 2011 she was appointed a research associate at the Office for the History of Science and Technology at University of California, Berkeley.^[9] She has an MA from Moscow University and a PhD from the University of Colorado.
