- restoration of manuscript and printed books
- palaeographic doctrines from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance
- importance of sixteenth-century Italian writing masters for the study of the history of handwriting
- aspects of the history of the handwriting in the late Middle Ages (the writing of Petrarch and Boccaccio; the humanistic graphic reform)
- palaeography as a study of graphic structures, with a focus on the cursive tradition, especially during the Roman age (1st-4th centuries) and in the Middle Ages (10th-13th centuries).
