She has authored several books, including The Personal Names of the Latin Inscriptions in Bulgaria (Peter Language, 2000).
The Protean Ratio (Peter Language, 2001). Introduction to Latin Prose Composition (Bolchazy-Carducci, 2007), as well as published a translation of John Scotus Eriugena’s De divisione naturae (Sofia 1994).
Minkova has also published numerous articles on Latin medieval philosophy (recently on the 12th century cosmologists Bernardus Silvestris, Alan of Lille, and Johannes de Hauvilla), Latin literature, Latin composition, and Latin pedagogy. She is currently working on a critical anthology of Neo-Latin texts.
Together with Tunberg, Minkova conducts various seminars and workshops in active Latin throughout the United States.
