Book-history scholar (École Nationale des Chartes, Paris) and co-author, with Neil Harris, of "Briquet Reloaded" (2018), a project returning to Charles-Moïse Briquet's original working documents and unpublished tracings to re-verify the entries in his foundational 1907 watermark catalog Les Filigranes. Matters to this vault for the same reasons as her co-author: the project's findings underlie both the Briquet-entry-5410 correction on Fabriano's "1282" date and the "runs and remnants" dating-methodology rule now cited across two of this vault's watermark-history disputes.
