Timothy Price earned his PhD in Germanic Linguistics in May 2010. He is currently adapting his dissertation for publication as a book. It deals with the Old Saxon Heliand, a 9th-c. Gospel harmony reappeared during the Reformation, when rumors circulated that Martin Luther possessed a copy. To investigate this claim, Tim spent the 2007-2008 academic year as a Fulbright Fellow in Leipzig, Germany, where a newly-discovered Heliand manuscript fragment was discovered in spring 2006 — the sixth Heliand manuscript to be found to date. While in Germany, Tim undertook a comparative study of the extant manuscripts and fragments located throughout Europe

As a GSI at UC Berkeley, Tim taught the breadth of German-language courses: from beginning to advanced German, accelerated language & grammar courses, a graduate course on reading German for research purposes, and a Reading & Comprehension course (R5b) on the similarities between ancient Germanic Culture as represented in Germanic Epic and modern-day Hip-hop Culture.

In Fall 2010 Tim is teaching R5a and German 4 at UC Berkeley, as well as German 1A at the College of Alameda.

In his free time, Tim enjoys reading and spending time with his wife.
