After his studies in Saint Petersburg, Florence and Münster, Grigory Vorobyev got a PhD in Greek and Latin palaeography from Sapienza University of Rome and a C.Sc. degree in Classical, Byzantine and Neo-Hellenic philology from the University of Saint Petersburg. He worked then at the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he explored the early modern reception of Aristotle’s scientific vocabulary and catalogued Greek manuscripts. Grigory taught Greek and Latin at HSE University Saint Petersburg, as well as Greek and Latin palaeography at the University of Tartu.
After research stays at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin studies, at the University of Innsbruck and at the Aristoteles-Archiv of the FU Berlin, in 2023 he entered UGent as a palaeographer. Here, he was first a postdoctoral researcher in the MELA project, where he studied Byzantine miscellaneous manuscripts transmitting grammatical textbooks. In 2026 he joined the team of the Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams (DBBE).
