Matthew Gabriele is an Assistant Professor of Humanities and Coordinator of Medieval & Early Modern Studies in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Virginia Tech. He teaches in the periods containing the European Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation, the Age of Discovery, and modern perceptions of the "medieval."
A recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, he has published articles on the emperor Otto III, the Oxford Chanson de Roland, and the genesis of the anti-Jewish violence of the First Crusade. He has also co-edited, with Jace Stuckey, an interdisciplinary volume of essays on the medieval legend of Charlemagne entitled The Legend of Charlemagne in the Middle Ages: Power, Faith, and Crusade (Palgrave Macmillan: New Middle Ages Series). In Summer 2008, attended a NEH Institute on "Holy Land & Holy City in Classical Judaism, Christianity, and Islam." Please see his CV (below) for full citations.
His current research focuses on the intersection of religion and violence. He is working on a number of articles related to the early medieval legend of Charlemagne and an article on the violent religious rhetoric in Seung-Hui Cho's manifesto. His larger research project involves completing a book-length manuscript on the legend of Charlemagne and the origins of the First Crusade. If you're a student at Virginia Tech and would like to help with this project, please see the posting at VT's Undergraduate Research Institute.
