Sabine MacCormack was a historian of the Roman empire, late antiquity and the early modern Spanish world, with a special interest in the peoples and cultures of the Andes. She had worked on the reasons for, and consequences of, political and religious change, focusing on the impact of Christianity in the Roman Mediterranean and in the Andes. Another interest was the interrelation between word and image, language and visual culture in the Roman empire and early modernity. She worked on the impact of the classical tradition as formulated in Spain and of memories of the Inca empire on the development of early modern political cultures in the Andes. Her interest in teaching was focused on the nature of knowledge: on what we think we know, and why, and what we might actually know. She was the Theodore M. Hesburgh Professor of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame at the time of her death June 16, 2012, at the age of 71. , Dr. MacCormack had previously taught at Stanford University and the University of Michigan.
