Da: Aisbnews (aisbnews@gmail.com)
Exhibition:
“KYPRIAKO TO TROPO / MANIERA CYPRIA: CYPRIOT PAINTING OF THE 13TH CENTURY BETWEEN TWO WORLDS”
Byzantine Museum Foundation “Archbishop Makarios III”, Nicosia
from January 19 to July 31, 2017
The 13th century, with the subjugation and partition of the Byzantine Empire (since 1204 and onwards) by Western crusaders, is a key point in the development of the Byzantine art in general. In Cyprus, already occupied since 1191 by the Crusaders and the autocephalous Church subjugated to the Pope of Rome under the Constitutio Cypria, known as Bulla Cypria, the change in art is evident with local peculiarities.
The exhibition is curated by the director of the Byzantine Museum, Dr Ioannis Eliades, and is organized by the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation in collaboration with the Cyprus Tourism Organisation, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the death of the Archbishop Makarios III and the creation of the Cultural Center of Archbishop Makarios III Foundation. This exhibition is part of the initiatives of Cyprus Tourism Organization to promote the religious tourism. This Exhibition is one of the official events of the Cultural Capital of Europe – Paphos 2017.

Da: Vera von Falkenhausen (verafalk@libero.it)
Sechzehnte interdisziplinaere Sommerakademie
“Die Kreuzzuege des Mittelalters in interdisziplinaerer Perspektive”
11.-15. September 2017
Die Kreuzzuege wurden stets mit der Notwendigkeit begruendet, die Christenheit, die Kirche oder das Papsttum gegen Feinde zu verteidigen. Den Teilnehmern wurde dafuer ein Ablass versprochen, sowie der Schutz von Familie und Besitz. In den Quellen werden sie haeufig mit Pilgern (peregrini) gleichgesetzt, erst im Spaetmittelalter setzte sich der Begriff des Kreuzfahrers (crucesignatus) durch. Ziel der Kriegszuege war zunaechst Jerusalem und der Nahen Osten, doch wurden vergleichbare militaerische Unternehmungen auch auf der iberischen Halbinsel, in Osteuropa und gegen religioese und politische Abweichler in ganz Europa durchgefuehrt.
Schon in Mittelalter und Renaissance befassten sich zahlreiche Geschichtsschreiber, Literaten, Maler und Komponisten mit dem Thema, das bis heute nichts von seiner Faszination verloren hat. Die wissenschaftliche Diskussion verlangt folglich nach einem interdisziplinaeren Zugriff, bei dem sowohl geschichts-, als auch kunst- und literaturwissenschaftliche Ansaetze beruecksichtigt werden.
Die Sommerakademie richtet sich an alle Studierenden und Promovierenden, die sich in Muenchen oder an auswaertigen Universitaeten mit Mittelalter und Renaissance beschaeftigen. Sie wird von Prof. Dr. Albrecht Berger und Dr. Georg Strack veranstaltet. Beteiligt sind die Faecher Anglistik, Archaeologie, Arabistik/Islamwissenschaft, Byzantinistik, Evangelische Theologie, Germanistik, Kunstgeschichte, Lateinische Philologie, Mittelalterliche Geschichte, Mittelalterliche Juedische Geschichte, Musikwissenschaft und Skandinavistik.
Es besteht die Moeglichkeit, sich die Veranstaltung in Absprache mit den Dozenten der jeweiligen Faecher als Uebung, Vertiefungskurs oder Hauptseminar anrechnen zu lassen.
Vor Beginn der Sommerakademie wird ein Reader mit den wichtigsten Texten zur Vorbereitung erstellt. Sie erfahren rechtzeitig per Mail, wo dieser verteilt wird.
Die Anmeldung richten Sie bitte mit Angabe Ihrer Studienfaecher und Ihrer Fachsemesterzahl bis zum 24. Juli 2017 an Dr. Georg Strack georg.strack@lmu.de

[7]. 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WATERMARKS IN DIGITAL COLLECTIONS (VIENNA, 19-20.2017): CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE: 31.08.2017)
Da: Claudia Sojer (claudia.sojer@uibk.ac.at)
4th International Conference on Watermarks in Digital Collections.
Austrian Academy of Sciences, Hollandstrasse 11-13, 1020 Vienna
October 19/20 2017
The conference intends to bring together scholars, paper experts, conservators, curators, and others who work in watermark research or are interested in this topic. For two decades now, the by then printed catalogues are partially replaced by databases and new watermark collections are published only online in digital form at all.
To present new developments and methods in the field of watermark studies, to get in contact with scholars interested in the same field of studies, and to discuss projects for the future every two years the “Conference on Watermarks in Digital Collections” takes place.
This time a special focus of the conference will be on new watermark collections, databases and projects which are either in the planning phase or went online and/or were connected with the Bernstein portal (www.memoryofpaper.eu) within the last few years. Here not only the technical side is of interest but in particular information to the history of the collections, to potential users, and to future plans.
A further focus of the conference will be on recording and digitizing techniques of watermarks: experiences on well-known methods and presentations of new techniques. Besides, all other topics are welcome, too.
If you want to give a presentation, please answer before August 31 to maria.stieglecker@oeaw.ac.at and/or emanuel.wenger@oeaw.ac.at. The proposal should include a preliminary title, an abstract of 200-300 words, and contact information. The language of the conference is English and the presentations are limited to 20 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion.
There is no participation fee. Participants are expected to organize and cover the costs for their own travel and accommodations. Please register online before October 1:

[9]. 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: “NONNUS OF PANOPOLIS IN CONTEXT: POETRY AT THE CROSSROADS” (GHENT, 19-21.04.2017): CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE: 01.10.2017)
Da: Berenice Verhelst (berenice.verhelst@ugent.be)
First call for papers for the Fourth International “Nonnus of Panopolis in Context” Conference
“Poetry at the crossroads”
Ghent (Belgium), 19-21 April 2018
Confirmed keynote speakers: Domenico Accorinti, Gianfranco Agosti, Helene Frangoulis, Gennaro D’Ippolito, Tim Whitmarsh
Abstracts deadline: 1 October 2017
“Nonnus in Context”
Once understudied, the fascinating poetry of Nonnus of Panopolis (5th c AD and author of both the last grand epic poem of antiquity and of a hexametric paraphrase of the Gospel of John in the same “baroque” style) has, in the past decades, aroused the interest of many. One of the results of this (re)new(ed) interest in the poetry of the “Egyptian Homer” is the recently appeared Brill’s Companion to Nonnus (2016) – voluminous like Nonnus’ work itself. In the preface, the editor, Domenico Accorinti, adequately describes the ongoing process of Nonnus’ “becoming a classic” and how the current vitality of the scholarly dialogue on Nonnus contributes to that.
One of the signs of this vitality are the “Nonnus in Context” conferences, a series of scientific gatherings initiated by Konstantinus Spanoudakis, who organized the first one in May 2011 (proceedings: ed. Spanoudakis 2014) and after him continued by Herbert Bannert and Nicole Kroell (Vienna 2013) and Filip Doroszewski (Warsaw 2015). Ghent 2018 is the fourth event in what by now is an established series.
“Nonnus of Panopolis in Context IV: Poetry at the Crossroads”
The subtitle for this fourth edition refers to the – indeed multifaceted – metaphor of the “crossroads”. From a crossroads you can look forwards, backwards but also sideways. Likewise, when standing at a crossroads, you are visible from all sides. Crossroads, therefore, open many perspectives. This central metaphor is chosen in the first place as an invitation to (further) explore these perspectives along the horizontal and vertical axes of the literary tradition and late antique society. It aims to direct the focus not exclusively on Nonnus, but indeed to highlight the context (not restricted to a specific time-frame, language, genre or art form) in which to interpret his poetry, while also welcoming contributions in which Nonnus’ poetry is only a significant part of the context.
Simultaneously it is also an invitation to reflect on the ways we as modern scholars give shape to the field we are studying. Nonnus is considered a pivotal author, between tradition and innovation, between classical paideia and Christian poetics. The vitality of Nonnus studies in the past decade(s) has not changed Nonnus’ poetry, but has thoroughly influenced the way it is perceived today. If Nonnus is our poet at the crossroads, should we not also keep in mind that we had a hand in constructing the roads?
This conference invites contributions that approach Nonnus’ poetry in/and/or its context from any direction or distance. Suggestions for future road works, new road signs and (other) reflections on the development of our field are most welcome.
“Practicalities”
Paper proposals (for 20 minutes’ presentations in English, French or German) are welcome from anyone interested in the subject. As has been the case for the previous editions, the aim is to create a balanced conference programme with presentations of PhD students, early career researchers and more experienced scholars.
Abstracts (200-300 words) should be sent to berenice.verhelst@ugent.be by 1 October 2017. Please clearly mention your name, current position and affiliation. In early November you will be notified of the acceptance of your paper. Please note that the number of available timeslots is limited. If you have any other questions or if you would like to attend the conference without giving a paper, you can also contact berenice.verhelst@ugent.be.
Also in name of the members of the organizing and scientific committees: Kristoffel Demoen (Ghent), Koen De Temmerman (Ghent), Fotini Hadjittofi (Lisbon), David Hernandez de la Fuente (Uned Madrid), Johan Leemans (Leuven), Anna Lefteratou (Heidelberg), Rachele Ricceri (Ghent) Tine Scheijnen (Ghent), Peter Van Deun (Leuven).
