Research
Rosa Vidal Doval's research interests are in late medieval Spanish
history and literature. She has worked on inter-religious conflict and
polemics, particularly between Christians, Jews, and Muslims, and
representations of violence in texts. She is currently researching some
of the main anti-converso polemical texts and a fifteenth-century collection of unedited Latin sermons from Burgo de Osma library.
