Barbara Crostini ha conseguito il Dottorato di ricerca in Studi Bizantini (D. Phil) all’Università di Oxford nel 1999 con una tesi sul Katechetikondi Paolo Everghetinos. In seguito si è occupata di catalogazione di manoscritti greci presso la Bodleian Library di Oxford, il Trinity College di Dublino e la biblioteca Carolina dell’Università di Uppsala, Svezia. Ha insegnato letteratura greca e bizantina e paleografia e codicologia greca in diverse nazioni europee in corsi di laurea e di specializzazione. È accreditata come docente in Greco bizantino presso l’Università di Uppsala, dove vive e studia.
