“In the 890s, having recently converted to Orthodox Christianity, Boris ensured his church would be independent from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Although interested in their religion, he was clearly concerned with curtailing Byzantine influence in his newly Christianised state. The alphabet offered an opportunity: by adopting it, Boris could ensure that Byzantine culture could not arrive in Bulgaria unmediated.”

🔎 Viel mehr als nur Scans: Impulsvorträge und Podiumsdiskussion zu im Rahmen eines #DFG-Projekts digitalisierten Greifswalder #Handschriften und der Rolle des #Handschriftenportal am 18. April, um 18:00 Uhr, im Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg in Greifswald.
Wir sind in gewisser Weise #neuhier, weil wir unseren Namen geändert und daher einen neuen Account eingerichtet haben. FobiM steht für „Forum zum britisch-irischen Mittelalter“ und ist ein Netzwerk für den Austausch von Forscherinnen im deutschsprachigen Raum, die sich mit der Geschichte und Kultur Englands und der britisch-irischen Inseln im Mittelalter beschäftigen. Es ist interdisziplinär, Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftlerinnen sind ebenso willkommen wie Keltologinnen, Historikerinnen oder Kunsthistoriker*innen. Einmal im Jahr veranstalten wir eine Tagung, um den gegenseitigen Austausch zu fördern. Mehr Informationen gibt es unter www.fobim.de. #Mittelalter#Mediävistik@medievodons#medievodons#histodons@histodons#introduction

The skill of the medieval silversmith & the modern stonecarvers was celebrated in a third medium with our project mementos! These were made by Cameron Newham FSA, using photogrammetry, 3D-printing, & handpainting. Tiny medieval treasures & large stone sculptures are both hard to move: these small replicas are a delight!
