Presentazione del volume CORPUS DELLA PITTURA MONUMENTALE BIZANTINA IN
ITALIA. I – UMBRIA
Istituto Nazionale di Archeologia e Storia dell'Arte
Giovedi' 20 febbraio 2014, ore 16.30
Giovedi' 20 febbraio 2014 alle ore 16.30 presso la sala conferenze dell'Istituto si terra' la
presentazione del primo volume del CORPUS DELLA PITTURA MONUMENTALE
BIZANTINA IN ITALIA. I – UMBRIA, a cura di Mara Bonfioli, con testi di Mara Bonfioli,
Simona Moretti, Mauro della Valle, Cristina Pantanella e Livia Bevilacqua, Edizioni Quasar, Roma
2012.
Intervengono: Adriano La Regina, Presidente dell'Istituto Nazionale d'Archeologia e Storia
dell'Arte; Bruno Toscano, Universita' degli Studi "Roma Tre"; Francesco Gandolfo, Universita'
degli Studi di Roma "Tor Vergata"; Enrico Parlato, Universita' degli Studi della Tuscia, Viterbo.
Ingresso gratuito fino ad esaurimento posti
Il Corpus della Pittura Monumentale Bizantina in Italia - la serie di cui si pubblica il primo volume
dedicato all'Umbria - si inserisce in un programma europeo nato ad Atene nel 1982 sotto gli auspici
dell'UNESCO: il Corpus Internationale de la Peinture Monumentale Byzantine.
Obiettivo di questa impresa e' quello di realizzare, per ciascuno dei territori coinvolti, una
sistematica catalogazione scientifica di tutte le pitture murali e dei mosaici parietali che rientrano,
direttamente o mediatamente, nell'orbita culturale di Bisanzio. Non solo, ma anche di fornire un
capillare censimento delle opere esistenti e delle loro condizioni conservative, ai fini di una
migliore tutela di un vasto patrimonio che, per la sua fragilita', appare spesso a rischio di
sopravvivenza.
Il volume sull'Umbria – il quarto delle serie internazionale, dopo quelli dedicati all'isola svedese di
Gotland, all'isola greca di Citera e ai monasteri del Monte Athos – raccoglie le testimonianze
pittoriche di una regione "di passaggio", scelta per la sua unicita' nella nostra penisola, e che
custodisce tra il VI-VII secolo e la fine del XIII documenti importanti per differenti stagioni
figurative: da quella ellenizzante, che fa capo alla "Roma bizantina", a quella tardo-comnena, che
impronta di se' larga parte dell'Europa a cavallo della quarta Crociata, per arrivare alle soglie
dell'eta' paleologa.
Il libro si apre con un saggio introduttivo di taglio storico e storico-artistico, pubblicato in lingua
italiana e in lingua inglese, seguito dalla presentazione dei dieci monumenti presi in esame
all'interno di altrettanti capitoli, tutti corredati da un atlante fotografico in bianco e nero e a colori e
da piante e rilievi fatti appositamente eseguire.
Il Corpus della Pittura Monumentale Bizantina in Italia, diretto da Mara Bonfioli, e' posto sotto il
patrocinio dell'Union Academique Internationale, dell'Unione Accademica Nazionale e dell'Istituto
Nazionale di Archeologia e Storia dell'Arte.

MALALAS. AUTOR - WERK - UEBERLIEFERUNG" (TUEBINGEN, 27.02-01.03.2014)
Da: Vera von Falkenhausen ([email protected])
Ort: Evangelisches Stift, Klosterberg 2, 72070 Tuebingen
Datum: 27. Februar bis 1. März 2014
Beginn: 27. Februar 2014, 14:00 Uhr
Die 18 Buecher umfassende Chronik des Johannes Malalas stellt das aelteste erhaltene Beispiel
einer byzantinischen Weltchronik dar und bietet damit singulaere Einblicke in die Fruehphase einer
literarischen Gattung, die fuer das byzantinische Mittelalter zentrale Bedeutung besessen hat. Fuer
die moderne Forschung ist dieses Werk aus mehreren Gruenden von hoher Relevanz: Zum einen
stellen die letzten drei Buecher, die die vom Autor selbst erlebte Zeit behandeln, eine wichtige
Quelle fuer die Geschichte des 6. Jahrhunderts dar. Ferner ermoeglicht die Chronik zahlreiche
Einblicke in kultur- und mentalitaetsgeschichtlich bedeutende Aspekte der Zeit und generiert
Fragestellungen, die auf die Entstehung und Entfaltung christlicher Geschichtsschreibung sowie
allgemein der christlichen Memorialkultur der Spaetantike zielen.
In der Eroeffnungstagung der neuen Forschungsstelle der Heidelberger Akademie der
Wissenschaften sollen insbesondere zwei Schwerpunkte beleuchtet werden: erstens Person und
Werk des Johannes Malalas und zweitens die Ueberlieferungssituation.
Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, einen interdisziplinaeren Dialog zur Gattung der Chronik und ihrer
zeitgeschichtlichen sowie intellektuellen Verankerung zu eroeffnen.

BYZANTINE WORLD" (CARDIFF, 25-27.04.2014)
Da: Vera von Falkenhausen ([email protected])
47th Byzantine Spring Symposium
The Emperor in the Byzantine World
Cardiff University, 25-27 April, 2014
In Byzantine Studies it is a strange fact that there exists no equivalent to Fergus Millar's The
Emperor in the Roman World, despite the centrality of the ruler in the Byzantine world. While there
may be books on individual emperors or periods or aspects there is no general book on the emperor
across the span of the Byzantine empire. This oddity is compounded by the recent publication of a
plethora of books devoted to Byzantine empresses. This Symposium (the first Spring Symposium of
Byzantine Studies to be held in Wales) seeks to address this oddity, placing the Byzantine emperor
centre stage as both ruler and man. The Symposium will consist of five main sessions, of three
papers each, addressing the following themes: Dynasty; Imperial Literature; The Imperial Court;
Imperial Duties; and The Material Emperor. In addition there will be a series of communications, as
well as a public lecture on Byzantium and Wales.
Main Speakers and Topics
Dynasty: Imperial Families
Mark Humphries (Swansea University): Family, Dynasty, and the Construction of Legitimacy: The
Roman Background
Mike Humphreys (University of Cambridge): The Dynasty of Heraclius
Mark Masterson (Victoria University of Wellington): Basil II and the Macedonian Dynasty
Imperial Literature: The Emperor as Subject and Author

Language as Culture in the Eastern Mediterranean (330-2013)
The students of the Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies at the University of
Birmingham are proud to announce the 15th Annual Postgraduate Colloquium, which will take
place on Saturday, 24th May 2014.
Keynote speaker: Dr Maria Georgopoulou, (Director of the Gennadius Library, The American
School of Classical Studies at Athens)
The colloquium will bring postgraduate students together to discuss the significance of language in
the eastern Mediterranean from Late Antiquity to the Modern Age. Beginning with the observation
that all studies are routinely possessed by language, it is important to understand the relationship
between language and culture. A major goal is to examine the role of culture in linguistic meaning,
language use and, conversely, the role of linguistic form and culture in social action and in cultural
practices. Language is a key to understanding the social, symbolic and expressive lives of members
of society.
How, we will ask, can we learn more about language, and, what can we say about language in the
Mediterranean basin?
Studies of ritual and performance, of patronage and status often draw on linguistic evidence to talk
about various forms of cultural production: attesting to the crucial and hitherto unacknowledged
role of language in the creation of cultural subjectivities. Language as a term should not be limited
to literary forms, as verbal products, but may be extended to encompass a broader range of visual
narratives, including, potentially, painting, architecture and other kinds of material culture. We are
interested in the production, interpretation and reproduction of social meanings, as expressed and
accrued through language and in exploring the relation to culture and society.
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers in all fields of Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek
Studies.

BIENNAL CONFERENCE: "BYZANTINE CULTURE IN TRANSLATION" (QUEENSLAND,
28-30.11.2014; DEADLINE: 31.08.2014)
Da: Vera von Falkenhausen ([email protected])
Byzantine Culture in Translation
18th Biennial Conference, 28-30 November 2014, University of Queensland
Byzantine culture emanated from Constantinople throughout the Middle Ages, eastwards into
Muslim lands and central Asia, north into Russian, Germanic and Scandinavian territories, south
across the Mediterranean into Egypt and North Africa and westwards to Italy, Sicily and the other
remnants of the western Roman empire. Byzantine culture was translated, transported and
transmitted into all these areas through slow or sudden processes of permeation, osmosis and
interaction throughout the life of the Empire, from the fourth century to the fifteenth and far
beyond. Various literary aspects of Byzantine culture that were literally translated from Greek into
the local and scholarly languages of the Medieval West and Muslim Middle East include
dreambooks, novels, medical and scientifica texts and works of Ancient Greek literature. Yet
translation was a phenomenon that stretched far beyond texts, into the areas of clothing and fashion,
the visual arts (especially icons) and architecture, military organisations, imperial court ceremonial,
liturgical music and mechanical devices. This conference celebrates all aspects of literary, spiritual
or material culture that were transported across the breadth of the Empire and exported from it.
Papers are welcome on all aspects of Byzantine culture that exerted some influence - whether
lasting or fleeting - and were translated into non-Greek-speaking lands, from the early Byzantine
period to the present day.
Confirmed speaker: Maria Mavroudi, University of California – Berkeley
Convenor: Dr Amelia Brown, The School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics, University
of Queensland
Papers of 20 minutes are now sought on any of the topics mentioned above. Please send a title and
abstract of 200 words along with your own email address, affiliation and title to the convenor at
[email protected].
Closing date for submissions: 31 August.
Bursaries: Two bursaries of 500 dollars each will be offered to postgraduate students or
postdoctoral fellows who present papers and are not residents of Queensland. Applications may be
sent with abstract and CV to Bronwen Neil, President of AABS, at [email protected]. Please
supply your residential address and a short (150 words max.) explanation of your financial
circumstances, stage reached in your studies and any other relevant information. Membership of
AABS is required for successful applicants; please see the web site at
http://www.aabs.org.au/members/ for membership subscriptions. Deadline for bursary applications
is 31 August.

NARRATIVE LITERATURE (GHENT [BELGIUM], FROM 01.03.2014; DEADLINE FOR
APPLICATION: 21.03.2014)
Da: Vera von Falkenhausen ([email protected])
Job vacancies: two fully-funded ERC Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (4 years each) at Ghent
University (Belgium)
The Department of Literary Studies at Ghent University (Belgium) is seeking well-qualified
applicants for two fully-funded Postdoctoral Research Fellowships attached to the European
Research Council project Novel Saints. Ancient novelistic heroism in the hagiography of Late
Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. The Principal Investigator of this project is Prof Dr Koen De
Temmerman, who, as a classicist, specializes in ancient fiction and its persistence in later periods.
The two successful applicants will start employment on 1 June 2014 or as soon as possible
thereafter. In order to be eligible, candidates must have obtained their PhD degree at the time of
application or demonstrate convincingly that they will have that degree in hand by 1 June 2014.
The ERC project deals with the persistence of ancient novelistic material in (Greek, Latin, Syriac
and Arabic) hagiographical narrative traditions in the Mediterranean between the 4th and the 12th
centuries. It also investigates the impact of these narrative traditions on medieval fiction in the
West, Byzantium and Persia. An abstract of the project can be found at
http://erc.europa.eu/cordis_search/project_details/109905.
Within the broad project, subprojects will be assigned to individual team members. For the current
vacancies, these subprojects are situated in the following areas:
POSITION 1: SYRIAC HAGIOGRAPHY
The successful candidate will have an excellent knowledge of Syriac and a very good working
knowledge of both Latin and Greek.
(S)he will preferably have specialized in Syriac, late antique narrative literature and will have as
central corpora within the project the so-called Acts of Persian martyrs, collections of Lives and
hagiographical romances. Each of these three corpora invites dialogue with those examined by other
team members. (S)he will be capable of producing (a) a text edition (with English translation) of a
carefully-selected set of late Sasanian Acts and (b) detailed literary studies that cover the narrative
qualities of the texts and analyze concepts of heroism and fictionalization.
POSITION 2: PERSIAN MEDIEVAL NARRATIVE LITERATURE
The successful candidate will have both an excellent knowledge of medieval Persian and a very
good working knowledge of Arabic. A good knowledge of Latin and/or Greek will be an advantage.
(S)he will preferably have specialized in medieval Persian narrative literature and will have as
central corpora within the project 11th- and 12th-century Persian romances and Arabic (Christian)
hagiography. (S)he will be capable of (a) charting ancient novelistic influences in Persian romances,
(b) examining in depth novelistic influences bearing upon the thematic key issues of the overall
project (heroism and fictionalization), and (c) examining the extent to which Arabic hagiography
may have acted as a ‘narrative bridge’ for ancient novelistic material to have arrived in Persian
medieval narrative.
For each of the two positions, we offer:
1. a contract for four years of full-time employment as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, continuation
being subject to positive evaluation after one year;
2. a competitive salary that depends on seniority;
3. a substantial allowance for travel and other research purposes in addition to the salary;
4. office space in the University and a solid and engaging academic working environment with a
strong international profile. The successful candidates will be able to interact with scholars and
students affiliated with various departments and research institutes at Ghent University
(http://www.letterkunde.ugent.be/node/21; http://www.ugent.be/lw/geschiedenis/en;
http://www.neareast.ugent.be/home; http://www.giks.ugent.be; http://www.pirenne.ugent.be;
http://www.csct.ugent.be).
For each of the two positions, we expect that the successful applicant
1. will contribute to the strong research tradition of the Department and the University by pursuing
excellence in his/her research and by publishing his/her results in journals and with publishers that
are internationally accepted as being of the highest quality;
2. will come and live in Belgium, work closely together with the other team members and the
project's international advisory board, and contribute to a pleasant and stimulating atmosphere;
3. will play a leading role in the scholarly activities of the research group (e.g. by organizing events
in collaboration with the Principal Investigator, co-supervizing PhD students, etc.).
How to apply? Applications should include
1. a cover letter indicating for which of the two positions the applicant applies;
2. a full curriculum vitae, including a complete list of publications;
3. a brief autobiographical statement (no more than one page) highlighting why the applicant is
interested in this project and what added value (s)he expects to bring;
4. a writing sample of ca. 40 pages of published (or forthcoming) work that in the applicant's view
is particularly good or relevant to the project;
5. four letters of reference (to be sent directly to [email protected] by the referees no
later than 21 March 2014).

Da: Giovanni Gasbarri ([email protected])
Contre le demantelement d'un pole de recherche d'exception a' Paris sur le monde mediterraneen
oriental: http://www.petitions24.net/contre_le_demantelement_dun_pole_de_recherche
A' Mme le Ministre de l'Enseignement superieur et de la Recherche
Dans le cadre de la creation du nouveau campus de sciences humaines et sociales a' Aubervilliers
(Campus Condorcet), le CNRS a decide' de delocaliser les sections arabe, grecque et de l'Orient
chretien de l'IRHT (Institut de recherche et d'histoire des textes, UPR 841), qui sont etroitement
imbriquees avec les autres equipes et bibliotheques du site Cardinal Lemoine du College de France
a' Paris, pour les installer avec les autres sections de l'IRHT sur le nouveau Campus Condorcet.
Cette decision intervient alors que les deux sections etaient deja' engagees dans le projet d'Institut
des civilisations du College de France, ou' elles participaient pleinement de la coherence
scientifique du projet, et conduit au demantelement d'un pole, qui est une reference internationale,
consacre' a' Byzance, l'Orient chretien et le monde islamique fonde' sur une collaboration entre
equipes et institutions diverses (College de France, CNRS), ou' depuis plusieurs decennies,
chercheurs, universitaires et etudiants francais et etrangers trouvent en un meme lieu, au centre de
Paris, les equipes de recherche et les ressources dans ces domaines tres specialises. Suite au projet
de delocalisation, les sources primaires que sont les reproductions et les catalogues de manuscrits
arabes, grecs, syriaques et coptes, conserves dans les deux sections de l'IRHT (pres de 16 000
manuscrits), se trouveront en effet separees des bibliotheques du College de France, ou' sont
conserves les livres qui permettent de comprendre et d'interpreter ces sources (Bibliotheque
byzantine, Bibliotheque des christianismes orientaux, Bibliotheque d'etudes arabes, turques et
islamiques, Bibliotheque d'egyptologie).
Nous, chercheurs, universitaires et etudiants francais et etrangers qui travaillons dans ces lieux ou
en connaissons l'importance scientifique, demandons que les sections grecque et arabe de l'IRHT
soient maintenues sur leur site actuel afin de preserver l'unite' et la coherence scientifique de ce pole
de reference internationale sur le monde mediterraneen oriental.
