Unter den Märtyrern des Bilderstreits hat die heilige Theodosia von Konstantinopel eine besondere Stelle. Ihr Kult erfuhr unter der Herrschaft der byzantinischen Palaiologendynastie (1259-1453) eine ...außerordentliche Blüte, die sich nicht nur in den drei rhetorischen Lobreden, die zu ihrer Ehre verfasst wurden, sondern auch in Geschichtswerken, in der Dichtung, in der Hymnografie sowie in den Reisenberichten russischer Pilger widerspiegelt.Kotzabassi untersucht und kommentiert diese Texte ausführlich und bietet auf Basis aller bekannten Handschriften eine kritische Edition dieser Texte, von denen einige zum ersten Mal überhaupt herausgegeben werden. Saint Theodosia of Constantinople enjoys a special place among the martyrs of the iconoclastic persecutions. Her cult reached its zenith under the Byzantine dynasty of the Palaiologoi (1259-1453), which is reflected not only in three rhetorical panegyrics in her honour, but also in historical works, poetry, hymnography and in the travel journals of Russian pilgrims.Kotzabassi provides a detailed analysis and commentary on these texts, as well as a critical edition based on all known manuscripts of the texts, some of which are published for the first time.
The series Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Studies (DCLS)is concerned principally with research into those books of the Greek Bible (Septuagint) which are not contained in the Hebrew canon, ...and into intertestamentary and early Jewish literature from the period around the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE. The series was launched in 2007 in collaboration with the "International Society for the Study of Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature". It provides a logical extension to the Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature Yearbook, which has been published since 2004.

Cet article examine l’origine, les structures et le statut des «duchés » créés directement ou indirectement en conséquence – ou comme un «produit supplémentaire » – de la Quatrième Croisade et de la ...création de l’Empire latin de Constantinople. Après la discussion de la terminologie, les «duchés » résultant de la Partitio Romaniae ou des dons faits par les premiers empereurs (Nicée, Philadelphie, Nicomédie, Néocastron, Philippopolis, Lemnos et l’Archipel), de même que le cas spécial du dux de Thessalonique sont analysés. Ensuite suivent les duchés, créés dans d’autres circonstances, mais néanmoins liés – dans une certaine mesure – à la conquête de Constantinople : Athènes avec Néo-Patras et Leucade et le soi-disant duché de Céphalonie. Finalement cet article s’occupe des «duchés vénitiens » (Crète, Dyrrachion et Négroponte). Il apparaît que l’influence occidentale a progressivement gagné en importance au détriment de l’influence byzantine.
De hertogdommen van het Latijns Keizerrijk van Konstantinopel na 1204 : oorsprong, strukturen en statuten.
Dit artikel onderzoekt de oorsprong, de strukturen en het statuut van de hertogdommen (ducata), die ontstonden als een onmiddelijk of indirect gevolg (of bij-produkt) van de Vierde kruistocht en de oprichting van het Latijns Keizerrijk van Konstantinopel. Na de diskussie van de terminologie worden de ‘ hertogdommen’ besproken die resulteerden uit de Partitio Romaniae of die gesticht waren door de eerste ‘ Latijnse’ keizers (Nicea, Philadelphia, Nicomedia, Neocastron, Philippopolis, Lemnos en de Archipelago), alsook het uitzonderlijk geval van de dux van Thessaloniki. Vervolgens worden de ‘ hertogdommen’ onderzocht, die ontstonden als gevolg van andere uitzonderlijke gebeurtenissen, maar toch in verband met de verovering van Konstantinopel, namelijk Athene (met Neo-Patras), Leukas (met het zogenaamde hertogdom van Kephallonia), en tenslotte ook de ‘ Venetiaanse hertogdommen’ met verwijzing naar Kreta, Dyrrachion en Negroponte. Met verloop van tijd werd de westerse invloed steeds groter ten nadele van de oorspronkelike Byzantijnse.
The Duchies of the Latin Empire of Constantinople after 1204. Origin, Structures and Statutes.
This article examines the origin, structures and status of the ‘ duchies’ which were created directly or indirectly as a consequence or a by-product of the 4th Crusade and the creation of the Latin Empire of Constantinople. After having discussed the terminology, it first examines the ducata resulting from the Partitio Romaniae or grants by the first Latin Emperors (Nicaea, Philadelphia, Nicomedia, Neocastron, Philippopolis, Lemnos and the Archipelago), as well as the case of the dux of Thessaloniki. It then discusses the duchies, which were created in other circumstances, but still related – in some way to the capture of Constantinople, namely Athens (with Neo Patra), Leucas (with the so-called ‘ duchy of Cephalonia’), and finally the Venetian ones with reference to Crete, Dyrrachion and Negroponte. With the time progressing, it appears that the Western feudal influence outdid any original Byzantine one.

Focusing on the Latin Empire of Constantinople, this study undertakes a first-ever synchronous and diachronic comparative analysis of the interactions between models of imperial rule and large-scale ...governance alliances in the Eastern Mediterranean region during the 13th century. The analysis reveals the consequences of the tension-filled interactions between the Latin and Byzantine world in the Mediterranean area.
This study traces the history of Greek works of art that were first taken to Rome in the Republican era and later moved to Constantinople in the 4th century AD. It examines the effects of these ...changes in location on their meaning by presenting the available written and archeological evidence on art in public spaces.
This new edition of Byzantium and the Crusades provides a fully-revised and updated version of Jonathan Harris's landmark text in the field of Byzantine and crusader history. The book offers a ...chronological exploration of Byzantium and the outlook of its rulers during the time of the Crusades. It argues that one of the main keys to Byzantine interaction with Western Europe, the Crusades and the crusader states can be found in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and the ideology which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised hostility between the peoples. Taking recent scholarship into account, this new edition includes an updated notes section and bibliography, as well as significant additions to the text: - New material on the role of religious differences after 1100 - A detailed discussion of economic, social and religious changes that took place in 12th-century Byzantine relations with the west - In-depth coverage of Byzantium and the Crusades during the 13th century - New maps, illustrations, genealogical tables and a timeline of key dates Byzantium and the Crusades is an important contribution to the historiography by a major scholar in the field that should be read by anyone interested in Byzantine and crusader history.

Artivismus, die Verbindung von Kunst und sozialer Aktion im öffentlichen Raum, wird häufig in einem Atemzug mit den großen Revolten und Platzbesetzungen der letzten Jahre genannt. Artivismus findet ...aber auch - weniger spektakulär - im städtischen Alltag statt.Dieser Band stellt Projekte und Menschen aus dem Rheinland, Berlin und Istanbul vor, die ihr Lebensumfeld in der Stadt durch aktionistische Forschung und künstlerische Aktion (all-)täglich verändern, herausfordern und verbessern. Die Frage: »Wem gehört die Stadt?« lässt sich vielfältig durch kreative, gut gelaunte und kämpferische Aneignung beantworten. Die Beiträge geben hierzu viele Anregungen für Forscher*innen, Künstler*innen und Aktivist*innen.
