Sabine MacCormack was born in Germany, and was educated both there and in
England. Her degrees are from Oxford University (B.A.; D.Phil.) and the
University of Liverpool (Diploma in Archives). Currently she is Mellon
Visiting Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, her
home institution being the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Her books
include Art and Ceremony in Late Antiquity (Berkeley, 1981), and
Religion in the Andes: Vision and Imagination in Early Colonial Peru
(Princeton, 1991). Another book, Their Noble Poet: Vergil and
Augustine, is in press. She is currently working on a book about
historical thought in the Andes during the early colonial period. In
spanning, in her published woirk, the classical world and the early modern
Spanish empire, she explores, inter alia, the continuities and
discontinuities of the classical tradition. She also writes about the nature
of cultural and religious change, and the effects of religious conversion on
individuals and societies. Another dimension of her research is the
interdependence of visual and verbal communication.
