Picturing a Lost Empire: An Italian Lens on Byzantine Art in Anatolia, 1960–2000
VENUE: Istanbul, Turkey
DATES: 1 June–31 December 2018
Koç University’s Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (ANAMED) and Sapienza University of Rome are proud to present the result of their collaborative efforts: ‘Picturing a Lost Empire: An Italian Lens on Byzantine Art in Anatolia, 1960–2000.’ This exhibition focuses on the research on Byzantine art carried out by Italian scholars in the second half of the twentieth century and examines its mutual relationship with the history of Byzantine art historiography in Turkey. Featuring a selection of previously unpublished archival photographs of extraordinary monuments preserved in Anatolia, the exhibition can be visited at ANAMED in Istanbul from 1 June to 31 December 2018.
Between 1966 and 2000, Italian art historians traveled across the historical regions of Turkey in order to explore Byzantine monuments and works of art. These trips resulted in a substantial number of photographs, later collected in the Center for Documentation of Byzantine Art History of Sapienza (CDSAB). Curated by Livia Bevilacqua and Giovanni Gasbarri, the exhibition draws extensively on the photographs and other archival materials of the CDSAB, focusing especially on four historical regions: eastern Turkey; Lycia; Mesopotamia and Tur ‘Abdin; Cilicia and Isauria. Visitors are invited to follow this unique route from Rome to the East, to rediscover the remains of a lost empire and to step into the scenic landscape that surrounds them.

Nicosia: The birth and growth of a capital. Byzantine-Medieval period
The exhibition under the title «Nicosia: The birth and growth of a capital. Byzantine-Medieval period» continues until 27 January 2019 at the «Leventis Municipal Museum of Lefkosia». The exhibition was opened in 24 May 2018 and presents the historical course of Nicosia as capital of Cyprus since the 10th century, when, according to historical sources, Lefkosia undertakes for the first time the role of the administrative centre of Byzantine Cyprus. The exhibition continues with the establishment and development of Nicosia as the capital of the feudal kingdom of the Lusignans until 1489.

8TH LECTIO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE POLEMICS, RIVALRY AND NETWORKING IN GRECO-ROMAN ANTIQUITY
Leuven, December 12-14, 2018
1) SUBJECT
The aim of this conference is to study the role that polemical strategies and intellectual controversy have played in the establishment of ancient learned networks, such as philosophical and scientific schools, scholarly and religious communities, literary circles, etc., as well as in the dynamics of intellectual alliances, traditions, and ‘personal’ networks.
Disagreement and scholarly dispute are essential to any intellectual development. This holds true for ancient cultures no less than for us today. Greek philosophy has been agonistic from long before the formal constitution of philosophical ‘schools’ in the Hellenistic age. In the classical period, Athens famously served as an intellectual battlefield between Socrates and the sophists, in which a full armory of eristic and elenctic strategies was developed. This confrontation was to become a paradigm for the opposition between rhetorical and philosophical models of education, from Plato and Isocrates to the Second Sophistic and beyond.
The Hellenistic age saw the rise of schools and other, often more informal types of network which committed its members to a core set of doctrines – not only in philosophy (Stoicism, Epicureanism, Skepticism), but also in medicine (dogmatists vs. empiricists), science (mathematical astronomy vs. more philosophical cosmologies), historiography (pragmatic vs. rhetorical and tragic approaches; pro-Roman vs. pro-Carthaginian accounts), grammar (allegoricists vs. literalists), rhetoric (asianism vs. atticism), poetry (epos vs. shorter types of poetry), and theology (traditionalist vs. more liberal approaches). An essential ingredient of this phenomenon is the development of stereotypic depictions of rival schools and fixed patterns of refutations. Many of these depictions and tropes survived the actual debates from which they emerged and the schools against which they were directed, as is apparent from the Platonic and Christian texts from late Antiquity. In the Hellenistic period, we also witness the emergence of new intellectual centers, like Alexandria, and of increasingly text-based scholarly communities and networks.
From the early imperial age onwards, authoritative texts became increasingly important vehicles of wisdom, and written commentaries gradually acquired a central place in philosophical, rhetorical and religious education. Both Christians and pagans adopted polemical strategies in distinguishing between orthodox and heterodox interpretations of their founding texts, thus leading to controversy between authors who often had much more in common than they were ready to admit. In this context, polemical strategies not only served to refute one’s opponents, but also contributed to establishing intra-school identity and intellectual alliances.

Perceptions et représentations des frontières et des espaces frontaliers au Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne (IXe–XVIIIe siècles)
Université d’été du 21 au 24 mai 2019, à l’IHA, organisée par Maximilian Groß et Robert Friedrich (IHA) en coopération avec Christophe Duhamelle (EHESS), Rainer Babel, Rolf Große (IHA) et Sven Jaros (université de Leipzig)
Appel ouvert jusqu’au 30 novembre 2018.
La recherche sur les frontières et les zones frontalières est un sujet actuel, aussi bien dans les sciences historiques que dans d’autres sciences humaines. L’université d’été, qui aura lieu en mai 2019 à l’Institut historique allemand de Paris, se consacrera à ce thème dans une perspective transnationale de longue durée. Cet événement s’inscrit dans le cadre d’études récentes qui analysent les zones frontalières de manière différenciée et dépassent ainsi les modèles rigides centre vs. périphérie. Ces catégories sont moins immuables que dépendantes du contexte dans lequel elles sont évoquées; par ailleurs, l’étude des acteurs locaux des régions frontalières est déterminante afin de questionner les récits établis. Le tournant historiographique du spatial turn a quant à lui mis en exergue le caractère construit des frontières ainsi que leurs représentations et perceptions historiques. L’université d’été aborde ce sujet sous deux angles. En premier lieu, pour étudier le phénomène des régions frontalières du Moyen Âge à la période moderne, il convient de mettre en lumière leurs représentations dans les sources. Cet appui constant sur les sources primaires permet d’une part d’éviter une (re)construction moderne et ahistorique du concept d’»espace frontalier«, d’autre part de comprendre comment les zones frontalières ont été décrites dans des contextes différents. En second lieu, afin de pouvoir examiner ces zones frontalières d’une façon plus différenciée, il convient de les contextualiser à l’aune de leurs interdépendances régionales respectives. Au travers de cette régionalisation, qui s’accompagne d’une déconstruction partielle de la frontière en tant que concept uniforme avec des spécificités universellement valables, les espaces peuvent être analysés dans leurs propres qualités et dynamiques multiples.
L’approche de l’université d’été permettra de comparer des études de cas du Moyen Âge et de l’époque moderne et d’obtenir ainsi de nouvelles perspectives sur les processus de territorialisation et de formation de l’État dans leurs spécificités et diversités respectives. Cette approche ne sera pas délimitée par un cadre géographique restreint: les candidatures sont ainsi ouvertes aux jeunes scientifiques dont les thèmes de recherche portent aussi bien sur les espaces franco-allemands qu’européens ou mondiaux.
Les questions suivantes pourraient être abordées:
- Comment les frontières sont-elles représentées dans les sources médiévales et modernes?
- Quel desseins poursuivent les auteurs de ces représentations?
- Quels termes et concepts sont utilisés pour décrire les frontières et les espaces frontaliers?
- Quelles sont les (catégories de) sources qui signalent les frontières et les zones frontalières?
- Quel(s) rôle(s) jouent les »pouvoirs centraux« dans les conflits frontaliers?
- Quel(s) rôle(s) jouent les acteurs locaux?
- Les représentations diffèrent-elles en fonction des destinataires?
- Peut-on observer différentes stylisations d’un même espace en même temps?
- Comment les conflits frontaliers s’inscrivent-ils dans des contextes politiques plus larges?
- Comment les frontières sont-elles construites dans différents contextes?
- Dans quelle mesure la représentation d’un espace frontalier dépend-elle de son contexte?
- Dans quelle mesure la représentation des zones frontalières change-t-elle au fil du temps?
L’université d’été donnera l’occasion à 14 doctorantes et doctorants, post-doctorantes et post-doctorants ainsi qu’étudiantes et étudiants en M2 avec un projet de mémoire de présenter leur travail. Les conférences (environ 20 minutes) seront commentées par les autres participantes et participants. Avant le début du colloque, les résumés des contributions seront publiés sur le blog »Veranstaltungen am DHIP« (https://dhip.hypotheses.org) afin de les faire connaître à un public intéressé. Outre les interventions des participantes et participants, deux conférences introductives à la recherche sur les frontières en Allemagne et en France seront proposées: Susanne Rau (Erfurt) prenant en charge la partie allemande, Léonard Dauphant (Metz) la partie française. Une conférence publique de David Abulafia (Cambridge) intitulée »Maritime Spaces. Historical and Methodological Reflections« aura de surcroît lieu dans le cadre du cycle annuel »les Jeudis de l’IHA«. Une visite de la collection des cartes des Archives nationales conclura le programme et donnera aux participantes et participants l’occasion de réfléchir sur les représentations frontalières à partir de sources topographiques.
Informations pratiques: les frais de voyage et d’hébergement seront pris en charge par l’organisation ‒ sous réserve d’un financement de l’Université franco-allemande. Les langues principales de l’université d’été sont l’allemand et le français, mais des contributions en anglais sont possibles. La maîtrise active d’une langue étrangère et la compréhension passive de la seconde sont requises. Une affiliation à une université allemande ou française est souhaitée, mais ne présente nullement une condition préalable. Veuillez envoyer les documents de candidature suivants dans l’une des langues de la conférence à Maximilian Groß (mgross@dhi-paris.fr) et Robert Friedrich (rfriedrich@dhi-paris.fr): résumé de la contribution prévue (max. une page), CV académique avec liste de publications (si disponible), détails sur vos compétences linguistiques.

ÉCOLE PRATIQUE DES HAUTES ETUDES
Dans le cadre du séminaire "Christianisme orthodoxe, 15e-21e siècles" (Vassa Kontouma), Thierry Ganchou (Ingénieur d’études CNRS) donnera une série de conférences sur le thème
Orthodoxes et catholiques aux 15e et 16e siècles. le témoignage des archives vénitiennes. En Sorbonne, esc. U, 4e étage, salle H638, les jeudis de 16h à 18h, aux dates suivantes :
29 novembre 2018 – Une famille crétoise déchirée entre Constantinople et Rome: l’exemple de Géôrgios Trapézountios. Fils de prêtre orthodoxe, le grand humaniste crétois Géôrgios Trapézountios, qui fit toute sa carrière en Italie et devint secrétaire pontifical, avait laissé en Crète une famille qui se trouva confrontée à un choix cornélien : profiter de la réussite de Géôrgios en choisissant comme lui le catholicisme, ou demeurer orthodoxe. La documentation archivistique crétoise, vénitienne et romaine permet de reconstruire ce dilemme familial.1
13 décembre 2018 – La tombe de Loukas Spandounès dans la basilique de SaintDémétrius de Thessalonique : un monument incompris Monument de style et de facture vénitienne, la tombe de Loukas Spandounès érigée dans la basilique Saint-Dèmètrios de Thessalonique peu après 1481 est généralement comprise comme le témoignage d'une ancienne aristocratie byzantine qui aurait continué à regarder, en dépit de la domination ottomane, vers l’Occident latin. Il serait même une sorte de manifeste de résistance face à l’occupant ottoman musulman. Une enquête mêlant histoire de l’art et de l’architecture et documentation archivistique inédite permet de parvenir à une tout autre lecture du monument.
10 janvier 2019 – La tour d’Irène (Eirene Kulesi) à Istanbul : le palais de Loukas Notaras ? La tour dite d’Irène, aujourd'hui englobée dans le Büyük Valide Han, est un monument byzantin érigé aux 9e-10e s. dont aucune source byzantine ne parle. À partir de témoignages datant de l’Empire ottoman, et en convoquant des sources à la fois cartographiques (plan de Constantinople de Buondelmonti), littéraires et archivistiques, il est possible de proposer avec une certaine vraisemblance son identification avec le palais du dernier premier ministre de l’empereur byzantin et mégaduc, Loukas Notaras.
24 janvier 2019 – Géôrgios Chômatas Alexandrou, prêtre crétois, copiste de Bessarion, professeur de grec à Padoue et à Rome, puis évêque d'Arkadi (+ 1501). La main du copiste Géôrgios Alexandrou est repérable aujourd’hui dans une cinquante de manuscrits, et ce chiffre s’allonge régulièrement au gré de nouvelles attributions. Pourtant ce copiste du cardinal Bessarion n’est longtemps resté qu’un nom, et sa trajectoire une inconnue. Une recherche méticuleuse dans les archives crétoises de Venise ainsi qu’au Vatican sur ce prêtre crétois passé à Rome a permis de retracer sa carrière de manière très fouillée. Elle illustre une fois de plus le dilemme traditionnel entre orthodoxie et catholicisme à l’époque du refus, du côté grec, de l’Union de Florence.
7 février 2019 – Autour de Géôrgios Dishypatos (alias Georges Bissipat), amiral de Louis XI, vicomte de Falaise et seigneur de Hannaches. Enquête sur les vicissitudes et les gloires d’une famille byzantine en exil (1453-1511). Cette conférence concerne tout particulièrement un travail de recherche en cours, qui m’a vu ces derniers temps multiplier les séjours dans différentes archives italiennes (Vatican, Naples, Palerme, Venise, Modène, Milan). Ce sujet sera en particulier l’occasion de montrer aux étudiants comment, avec les outils contemporains utilisés à bon escient comme internet, on peut conduire une recherche fructueuse, en mettant grâce à ce media la main sur des références bibliographiques impossibles à réunir sans lui. La famille Dishypatos est l’une des très rares familles byzantines exilées à avoir réussi socialement, mais son sort en Europe occidentale à compter de 1453 jusqu’à l’insertion de Géôrgios à la cour de France (vers 1470) était totalement inconnu. La reconstitution de la trajectoire de la famille entre ces dates permet de comprendre la raison de cette insertion réussie.

PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS ON THE CORPUS CORANICUM CHRISTIANUM. THE QUR'AN IN TRANSLATION - A SURVEY OF THE STATE-OF-THE-ART
WORKSHOP: BERLIN, 05-07.12.2018
The workshop "Preliminary Considerations on the Corpus Coranicum Christianum. The Qur'an in Translation - A Survey of the State-of-the-Art" seeks to lay the groundwork for an interdisciplinary research project comparing all Christian translations of the Qur'an. Its goal is to gather and analyze, in a first step, all Greek, Syriac, and Latin translations of the Qur'an from the 7th century CE until the Early Modern period and to present the results to the scientific and broader public as a synoptic open-access digital edition. The workshop is aiming at mapping out the different scholars and research traditions dealing with varied translations of the Qur'an and to facilitate further scientific exchange. It will also examine the possibilities of using methods in the Digital Humanities for building an annotated database of the Corpus Coranicum Christianum.
This workshop is sponsored by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the Freie Universitaet Berlin.

Late Antique Textualities, January 2–5, 2020, Society for Classical Studies, Sponsored by the Society for Late Antiquity, Organizer: Colin Whiting, American School of Classical Studies at Athens
In Latin, textus can mean a piece of weaving. Late antiquity is well thought of as a text or a collocation of texts in which many strands are woven together— strands of the old (the Classical past, old genres, persisting aspects of material culture) and strands of the new (Christianity, new or hybridized written genres, new or hybridized elements in material culture or the built environment). At the meeting of the Society for Classical Studies in Washington, D.C., January 2–5, 2020, the Society for Late Antiquity will sponsor a session on the various textualities in late antiquity.
We are looking for papers on textuality in either written texts or material culture. Papers can consider issues of textuality in late-ancient written texts, e.g., language, intertextuality with prior written texts (pagan or Christian), or even genre. Potential panelists could also propose papers that consider textuality in material culture or the built environment, e.g., aesthetics, building styles, or methods that weave together old and new. We also encourage prospective panelists to construe the term textuality broadly and propose papers that transcend and/or question the options enumerated here.
Abstracts for papers requiring a maximum of 20 minutes to deliver should be sent no later than February 23, 2019 by email attachment to Colin Whiting at cwhiting@ascsa.org. All submissions will be judged anonymously by two referees. Prospective panelists must be members in good standing of the SCS at the time of submission and must include their membership number in the cover letter accompanying their abstract. Please follow the SCS’s instructions for the format of individual abstracts: https://classicalstudies.org/annual-meeting/guidelines-authors-abstracts. The submission of an abstract represents a commitment to attend the 2020 meeting should the abstract be accepted. No papers will be read in absentia and the SLA is unable to provide funding for travel to Washington, D.C.

Drugs in the Medieval World (c. 1050- c.1400), King's College, London, Strand Campus
Conference: 7th-8th December, 2018.
Deadline for Registration, 2nd December, 2018.
From the mid-eleventh century onwards the Mediterranean world was a hotbed of transcultural interactions to an even greater degree than had been the case in the past. The field of pharmacology is particularly significant in this historical context in both social and cultural terms, because it involved practical matters, such as the administration of drugs, thus impacting on the everyday life of a large number of people of all social classes. Yet we lack comparative studies in this field or studies on the interrelationship between the different Mediterranean traditions, including the Byzantine, Islamic and Latin Western traditions, as well as on the role of minority ethno-religious groups, such as the Jews, in the process of knowledge exchange. This conference seeks to promote discussion and research on the evidence for interaction between different cultures and regions in the medieval Mediterranean in an attempt to create a much more detailed and critical narrative.
Full programme plan can be downloaded here.
This conference has been organised by Dr Petros Bouras-Vallianatos and Dr Dionysios Stathakopoulos.
Sponsored by the Wellcome Trust and supported by the Centre for Late Antique and Medieval Studies (CLAMS) at King’s.
To register, please email Petros Bouras-Vallianatos by Sunday 2 December along with any dietary requests.

Applications from scholars of all nationalities are encouraged, yet fellows must be proficient in English, the language of instruction at Koc University.
RESEARCH THEMES
Applicants for Regular, Joint and Short-term fellowships, collaborative or not, are encouraged to consider their applications within one or more of ANAMED's research themes.
The goal of the themes is to foster constructive dialogues and collaborations between scholars working within the scope of ANAMED's periods and fields of interests. The themes are non-exclusive and overlapping, each meant to attract a variety of approaches (e.g., material, historical, iconographical) from varying fields (e.g., archaeology, art history, heritage, and history). Applying under one or more theme is encouraged but not required. Projects unrelated to these highlighted themes will be given full and impartial consideration in the review process. Theme selection(s) are made within the online application system.
1) Environment and Society
ANAMED solicits applications that investigate the rich and complex trajectory of interactions between human societies and their natural environments, including landscapes. Quantitative studies that uncover data and register change over time as well as qualitative studies that critically re-think interactions between urban and rural spaces, spatial transformations, architecture and the built environment, subsistence economies, infrastructure, and contemporary approaches to cultural heritage fall within the scope of this theme. Projects exploring economic relations, labor, climate, political power and nature, technology and production, and encounters including human and non-human interactions are welcome. Additionally, studies devoted to the sensory past that uncover personally experienced environment through memory, perception, imagination, and the senses (visual, auditory, olfactory) will be positively considered.
2) The Digital Past
"Digital humanities" is a growing field of study. As one of the pioneering institutions of this field in Turkey, ANAMED strongly supports and encourages research not only in digital humanities but also in the "digital past", broadly defined. Proposals that leverage digital technologies in the study of any ANAMED subject are encouraged. Spatially significant 2D analyses involving GIS, network analyses, 3D modeling and analyses of objects, features, sites, or landscapes, and analyses of "big data" deriving from the "mining" of textual, visual, or archival sources are examples of possible approaches to elucidating cultural heritage and deciphering socio-economic structures and relations. The development or highlighting of new digitally-enabled methods, such as quantitative and qualitative data visualization, can also be considered. Particularly welcome are innovative and multidisciplinary projects that taking advantage of, if not develop, digital approaches that aim to achieve new understandings of the Anatolian past.
3) Mobility and Connectivity
ANAMED solicits proposals that take the circulation, encounter, and exchange of objects and subjects, human and non-human, material and non-material at their core and investigate them in relation to physical, cultural, economic, and political dynamics within their spatiotemporal contexts. In dialogue with recent scholarship on global history, environmental studies, archaeology and architecture, this theme invites studies on physical nature, agriculture, economy, travel, trade, transportation, and technology as well as political systems, identities, religions, languages, cultural interactions, literary traditions, knowledge, and ideas that situate themselves at zones of contact with an emphasis on movement, connectivity and transfer. Applications on patterns of mobility (including urban mobility) such as migration, nomadism-transhumance, and settlement, as well as war and displacement are also within the scope of this theme.
4) Diversity and Coexistence
ANAMED welcomes applications that are devoted to questions of "identity" in any epoch of Anatolia's past. Projects that explore "difference", including but not limited to ethnic, religious, and gender identities, in relation to each other as well as in conjunction with class, power, the state, and spatiotemporal configurations would be welcomed. Applicants are expected to go beyond compartmentalized, anachronistic or primordialist understandings of identity. Instead, they are encouraged to critically re-think how diversity was defined, and how coexistence was experienced, negotiated and contested in multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multilingual settings, especially with respect to everyday practices. Projects tackling assimilation and acculturation as well as cultural transfers and hybridization would fall within the scope of this theme. Studies that are devoted to shared sites and practices, cultural heritage, and memory would also be received positively.

TORONTO-ROME DIPLOMA PROGRAMME IN MANUSCRIPT STUDIES (APPLICATION DEADLINE: 01.02.2019)
The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies is proud to offer a new Diploma Programme in Manuscript Studies.
The venue alternates between Toronto and Rome.
This year our programme returns to Toronto, where it will convene from 3 June to 12 July 2019. Two courses will be offered: our core course MSST 1000: Latin Palaeography, taught by the Pontifical Institute's Leonard E. Boyle Professor of Manuscript Studies, M. Michele Mulchahey, and a Special Subject, MSST 1004: Decorating the Medieval Manuscript, offered by Adam S. Cohen, Associate Professor, Department of the History of Art, University of Toronto.
The deadline for applications is 1 February 2019.
Description of Programme
The Institute has long enjoyed a reputation for providing the best training possible in those technical fields that made its students uniquely qualified to pursue original research amongst the manuscript survivals from the medieval period, namely, Latin Palaeography, Diplomatics, Codicology, and Textual Editing. Over the last decade and more, the Institute has transformed itself into a research institution offering fellowships to young post-doctoral students and visiting scholars. But the Institute has now developed a new curriculum that will make training in these technical disciplines available again, and in an expanded fashion, leading to a formal credential in Manuscript Studies.
The programme is open to all qualified applicants who feel they would benefit from it: those just embarking upon their graduate careers who realize that such training would be a valuable precursor to the work they are soon to undertake; those already enrolled in graduate programmes elsewhere who have recognized the need to acquire skills that their own programmes do not provide; those who have already earned their degrees and are in full-time posts but may be looking to enrich themselves. Given that many of these potential applicants will have other obligations during the fall and spring semesters, this new programme in Manuscript Studies is designed to run in the form of intensive summer courses in order to make it accessible to as many candidates as possible.
Core Courses
The curriculum in Manuscript Studies offered by the Pontifical Institute consists of five core courses, made more expansive by one of those courses being a variable content rubric under which a number of different special-subject courses will be mounted. Students will be required to take four courses to qualify for the diploma in Manuscript Studies, and also to complete a graduating project.
MSST 1000: Latin Palaeography
MSST 1001: Codicology
MSST 1002: Diplomatics and Diplomatic Editing
MSST 1003: Textual Editing
MSST 1004: Special Subjects in Manuscript Studies
MSST 2000: Final Project
Courses will be available on a rotating basis, with two of the above courses being offered each summer. Students accepted to the programme may choose either simply to enrol for a single summer, that is, for the two courses offered in any given year; or, by taking four courses over two consecutive summers, and completing a Final Project, they can qualify for the Diploma in Man
University of Notre Dame, Medieval Institute: Postdoctoral Fellowship in Byzantine Studies
Following substantial investment in the area of Byzantine Studies at the University of Notre Dame, including the acquisition of the Milton V. Anastos Library of Byzantine Civilization and generous support from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Medieval Institute at the University of Notre Dame is delighted to invite applicants for a nine-month Postdoctoral Fellowship in Byzantine Studies. This fellowship is designed for junior scholars with a completed doctorate whose research deals with some aspect of the Byzantine world. The fellow is expected to pursue promising research towards scholarly publication and/or the development of new subject areas. This Fellowship is open to qualified applicants in all fields and sub-disciplines of Byzantine Studies, such as history (including its auxiliary disciplines), archaeology, art history, literature, theology, and liturgical studies, as well as the study of Byzantium’s interactions with neighboring cultures. The fellowship holder will pursue research in residence at the University of Notre Dame’s famed Medieval Institute during the 2019-20 academic year.
The intent of this Fellowship is to enable its holder to do innovative research drawing on the rich resources held in the Milton V. Anastos Collection, the Medieval Institute, and the Hesburgh Library more broadly. This may include the completion of book manuscripts and articles, work on text editions, or the development of new trajectories of research in one of the aforementioned fields. The Fellowship carries no teaching responsibilities, but the fellow will have the opportunity to participate in the multidisciplinary activities of Notre Dame faculty related to Byzantium, Eastern Christianity, and the history of the Levant. The Fellow will be provided with a private workspace in the Medieval Institute, enjoy full library and computer privileges, and have access to all the Institute’s research tools.
In addition, towards the conclusion of the fellowship period the fellow’s work will be at the center of a workshop organized within the framework of the Byzantine Studies Seminar. Senior scholars, chosen in cooperation with the Medieval Institute, will be invited for this event treating the fellow’s subject matter. The senior scholars will discuss draft versions of the fellow’s book manuscript or articles or discuss the further development of ongoing research projects.
Eligibility: Byzantine Studies fellows must hold a Ph.D. from an internationally recognized institution. The Ph.D. must be in hand by the beginning of the fellowship term.

Funding opportunity: Endangered Archives Programme
Do you know of any collections that are currently at risk and need preserving? The Endangered Archives Programme is now accepting preliminary applications for the next annual funding round – the deadline for submission of preliminary applications is 12 noon 19 November 2018 (GMT) and full details of the application procedures and documentation are available on the EAP website.
The Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) has been running at the British Library since 2004 through funding by Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, with the aim of preserving rare vulnerable archival material around the world. The Programme awards grants to relocate the material to a safe local archival home where possible, to digitise it, and to deposit copies with local archival partners and with the British Library. These digital collections are then available for researchers to access freely through the British Library website or by visiting the local archives. The Programme has funded over 350 projectsin 90 countries world-wide and has helped to preserve manuscripts, rare printed books, newspapers and periodicals, audio and audio-visual materials, photographs and temple murals.
There three main types of grant:
- Pilot projects investigate the potential for and/or feasibility of a major grant. A pilot can also be a small digitisation project. They should last for no more than 12 months and have a budget limit of £15,000.
- Major projects gather and copy material. This type of grant may also relocate the material to a more secure location/institution within the country. These projects usually last 12 months, or up to 24 months and have a budget limit of £60,000.
- Area grants will be awarded for larger scale projects. They are similar to a major grant, but larger in scale and ambition. Applicants must demonstrate an outstanding track record of archival preservation work and be associated with an institution that has the capacity to facilitate a large-scale project. The EAP will only award a maximum of two area grants in each funding round. They can last for up to 24 months and have a budget limit of £150,000.
A further type of grant will be introduced in 2019:
- Rapid-response grants can be used to safeguard an archive which is in immediate and severe danger. These grants are intended for the most urgent situations where a delay in the decision process could result in extensive damage to the material. These grants are not subject to the time restrictions of the yearly EAP funding cycle and can be applied for at any time. They must last for less than 12 months and have a budget limit of £15,000.
If you know of an archive in a region of the world were resources are limited, we really hope you will apply. If you have any questions regarding the conditions of award or the application process, do email us at endangeredarchives@bl.uk
