The Byzantine Review
https://www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/index.php/byzrev
<p><em>The Byzantine Review</em> ist eine Online-Zeitschrift, in der Besprechungen, Notizen und Berichte zu aktuellen Publikationen aus allen Bereichen der Byzantinistik (Geschichte, Philologie, Archäologie, Numismatik, Sigillographie, Literatur) veröffentlicht werden. Der zeitliche Rahmen reicht von der Spätantike bis zum 15. Jahrhundert; da die Byzantinistik eine interdisziplinäre Disziplin ist, wird der Schwerpunkt auch auf die Verflechtungs-, Transfer- und Wirkungsgeschichte gelegt. Die Beiträge erscheinen in deutscher, englischer, französischer, italienischer und neugriechischer Sprache.</p> <p>SUBSCRIBE: byzantinereview@listserv.dfn.de</p> <p>Partner von <a href="https://www.propylaeum.de/recensio-antiquitatis/rezensionen/zeitschriften">https://www.propylaeum.de/recensio-antiquitatis/rezensionen/zeitschriften</a></p>Institute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies / FB08 / University of Münsterde-DEThe Byzantine Review2699-4267ByzRev 07.2025.N01: An Echo of the Forerunner: Theodore Prodromos and John Chortasmenos
