Matti Myllykoski

Helsinki University Library
Chief information specialist
Finland

I am interested in digitized medieval manuscripts of early Christian texts and the digital availability of old books. And of course Open access of all scholarly literature.
I am also interested in the history of biblical criticism, Christian anti-Semitism, and Christian spirituality. And football.
