Thomas Maurer is an Assistant Professor of History at 鶹ý. He also serves as the Director of the Medieval Studies Minor.
Dr. Maurer’s research focuses on apocalyptic cultures in thirteenth century Italy, in particular the pseudo works attributed to the theologian Abbot Joachim of Fiore (d. 1202). His first book project examines pseudo-prophecies about thirteenth-century Italian cities, arguing these prophecies presented Italian cities as biblical like entities.
In addition to teaching the HIST 101/102 core sequence at AMU, Dr. Maurer teaches courses on medieval Italy, the history of the Catholic Church, and apocalyptic theories and theologies in the pre-modern world.
