Summer School on Greek Palaeography and Byzantine Epigraphy
The Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation is pleased to announce the organization of the 2nd Summer School on Greek Palaeography and Byzantine Epigraphy from 3 to 8 July 2017 with the kind collaboration of the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian in Patmos.
The one-week intensive Summer School is an introductory course to Greek Palaeography and Byzantine Epigraphy aiming at providing participants with basic skills that will enable them to approach manuscripts and written inscriptions. A unique feature of this Summer School is that students will be given the opportunity to learn and practice in the Monastery of Saint John, which is now home to more than 1200 manuscripts and a large number of icons and monumental paintings with inscriptions of the Byzantine and post Byzantine period.
The school is open to PhD candidates, postgraduate students and students in their final year of Classics, Philology, History, Theology as well as Byzantine and Medieval Studies.
