Εντούτοις, στις περισσότερες το παρελθόν αυτό έχει αφήσει πολύ λίγα υλικά ίχνη –συνήθως ένα κάστρο– και έχει καταστεί εξαιρετικά δυσανάγνωστο. Χαρακτηριστική περίπτωση αποτελεί η Λαμία, το μεσαιωνικό Ζητούνι, μία μικρή βυζαντινή πόλη που για πάνω από μία χιλιετία υπήρξε στρατηγικός κόμβος στο δρόμο από και προς τη νότια Ελλάδα. Συνδυάζοντας τις πενιχρές αναφορές των γραπτών πηγών και τις αποσπασματικές αρχαιολογικές μαρτυρίες, στο παρόν βιβλίο επιχειρείται η ανασύνθεση της μορφής και της εξέλιξης της Λαμίας από τον 4ο ως τον 15ο αιώνα, και η αποτίμηση της σημασίας της ως τοπικού διοικητικού, στρατιωτικού και εκκλησιαστικού κέντρου. Παράλληλα, αναδεικνύονται οι δυνατότητες που προσφέρουν τα αποσπασματικά ιστορικά και αρχαιολογικά δεδομένα για την αποκατάσταση του βυζαντινού κρίκου της εξέλιξης των ελληνικών πόλεων.

However, in a small group of templon screens dated mainly to the 10th and 11th centuries,
there are several colored marbles and stones in use. The majority of these screens belong to great scale, luxurious churches, founded or sponsored by persons directly connected with Constantinople or even the Byzantine emperor himself. The study of the cases proves that these screens followed Constantinopolitan models and taste and probably used material imported from the capital. The imperial seat is also
recognized as the place where rare and precious colored marbles were gathered and then send abroad.

Depending on the dimensions and the funds available to each church, the form of the Middle Byzantine altars varies from rectangular slabs based on free-standing posts to slabs placed on built bases. Sculpted decoration can be found on the frame of the upper surface of the slab, leaving the main space empty and flat, probably in order to receive safely the holy vessels. However, there are some cases where the whole surface is covered with relief. The main questions about Middle Byzantine altars concern the selection of decorative patterns in use and their function on a structure which was out of sight, hidden behind the templon screen and under the vestments.

of the Cyclades for the high quality of its architecture
and its artistic production throughout the
Middle Byzantine period. The re-examination of two
inscriptions referring to donors, which have long been
known to scholarship, but have not been dated precisely,
shows that they can be attributed to this period.
The new evidence that is added to the corpus of
Middle Byzantine inscriptions of the island offers the
opportunity for an overall assessment of patrons’ activity
on Andros, whereby it appears that the leading
role was played primarily by wealthy lay personages
from the local elites.
In Greek, with an extended English summary.
For several millennia most of the civilisations
of Anatolia used inscription on stone to preserve
important texts – whether public documents
or private commemorations. While this
procedure is found in many civilisations across
the world, the particular wealth of Anatolia in
high-quality stones and marbles has ensured
an exceptionally rich harvest of texts. Over the
last couple of centuries, work on these documents
has helped us understand more and
more of this deep and multi-layered historical
heritage, which is constantly developing and
enriching our understanding.
The aim of the symposium is to allow experts,
who work on the inscribed texts of different
cultures, to present their work and compare
their experiences, building a sense of the history
of the epigraphic discipline. During the
symposium we intend to look at how earlier
generations have interacted with such texts by
tracing the steady development of methodologies.
We will examine how inscribed texts have
introduced us to languages which had been
unread for several millennia. Finally, we will
look at how we can teach the necessary skills
and find ways to offer the fullest possible access,
both in and beyond Turkey, to this
unique storehouse of knowledge.

INSCRIBING TEXTS
IN BYZANTIUM:
CONTINUITIES AND TRANSFORMATIONS
18-20 March 2016, Exeter College, Oxford
In spite of the striking abundance of extant primary material – over 4000 Greek texts produced in the period between the sixth and fifteenth centuries – Byzantine Epigraphy remains largely uncharted territory, with a reputation for being elusive and esoteric that obstinately persists. References to inscriptions in our texts show how ubiquitous and deeply engrained the epigraphic habit was in Byzantine society, and underscore the significance of epigraphy as an auxiliary discipline. The growing interest in material culture, including inscriptions, has opened new avenues of research and led to various explorations in the field of epigraphy, but what is urgently needed is a synthetic approach that incorporates literacy, built environment, social and political contexts, and human agency. The SPBS Symposium 2016 has invited specialists in the field to examine diverse epigraphic material in order to trace individual epigraphic habits, and outline overall inscriptional traditions. In addition to the customary format of panel papers and shorter communications, the Symposium will organise a round table, whose participants will lead a debate on the topics presented in the panel papers, and discuss the methodological questions of collection, presentation and interpretation of Byzantine inscriptional material.
