Ignacio J. García Pinilla

Professor of Latin Philology at the University of Castilla-La Mancha. His main research interest is the phenomena of dissidence and exile related to Humanism in 16th-century Spain. The way he has approached these phenomena has been notably philological, particularly through the edition and study of humanistic texts, with special attention to epistolaries and polemic texts or those related to ideological debate, considering different parts’ points of view. He has also examined censorship and repression as realities which should be considered to understand this period’s dispute. He is a member of the Research Group De re Hispanica (www.derehis.com) and the director of Serie de disidentes españoles (University of Castilla-La Mancha). He is part of the editorial board for the magazine Exemplaria Classica (it is included in Scopus) and for the collection Heterodoxia ibérica (Brill) and Bibliotheca Graecolatina (University of Cordoba). He works with the Scientific Committee in other publications and series, too.
