Daniele Salvoldi: I hold a PhD in Egyptology from University of Pisa. I am an adjunct assistant professor at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport. In 2014-16 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Freie Universität Berlin, working on a Historical GIS of Nubia. Enjoying a short term scholarship (British Academy 2011) granted by Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei I catalogued William John Bankes' Egyptian Portfolio in the Dorset History Centre (Dorchester). In 2009 I discovered Alessandro Ricci's lost travel account in Egypt and the Sudan, which was published in 2018 by AUC Press.
