Gábor Petneházi is post-doc researcher at the project „The Dissertations of the Academia Taxiana” funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), where his main task is to prepare a monograph analyzing the corpus of Taxiana-dissertations on a literary and historiographical level.

He studied History, Classical and Neo-Latin Philology at the University of Szeged (Hungary) where he obtained his PhD degree in 2013.

His main research interests are: early modern historiography; humanism and Republic of Letters; early modern politics and intellectual history; early modern manuscript and print culture. He published more than 40 articles/studies on these topics; his translations from Latin into Hungarian (including texts of erasmus of Rotterdam, Paolo Giovio, Gian Michele Bruto and other 16th century humanist authors) have been published in both individual and edited volumes. He conducted archival researches in Vienna, Padua, Warsaw, Krakow, Cluj-Napoca, Budapest. In 2020 in Trento, with his colleague Péter Kasza, he discovered one of the most important and most extensive historiographical manuscripts of the 16th century, Gian Michele Bruto's Rerum Ungaricarum libri, which was previously thought to be lost. Most recently, he has been working on the text tradition and literary analysis of this enormous work.
