Kordula Wolf studied History and Latin Philology in Berlin (Humboldt University) and Rome (University La Sapienza) before completing the first State examination in 2003. Between 2004 and 2006 she held fellowships at the German Historical Institute in Rome and then at the Humboldt University where she received her PhD in 2007 from the Department of Medieval History with a thesis about the Trojan narratives in twelfth-century France, England and Italy.
