Bio
Adam Beaver is Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University. His research focuses primarily on Spaniards’ interactions with the Levant, both real and imaginary. At the Katz Center, Beaver will research Pietro Martire d’Anghiera’s Babylonian Embassy (1511), a riveting account of the Italian humanist’s 1502 embassy to Mamluk Egypt on behalf of the Spanish monarchs Fernando and Isabel.
