CLOSEThe Section of Byzantine Research of the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) was established in 1960 as the Center for Byzantine Research (CBR), with the mission of advancing research and fostering awareness of the history and culture of Byzantium and medieval Hellenism. Its research activities are organised within specific thematic areas into specialised projects that encompass a wide range of fields and disciplines. The relevant studies draw on evidence from literary and archival sources, works of art, and archaeological findings. The projects also investigate Byzantium’s interactions with medieval Europe, the Balkans, and the wider Eastern Mediterranean.

This volume reflects the outcomes of an international symposium held in April 2021, itself the result of a research project launched in 2016 that aimed to unravel the hidden codes embedded in performance and performativity within the written and visual sources of the Late Antique and Byzantine periods.
Ο παρών τόμος αποτελεί έκδοση των πρακτικών της επιστημονικής διημερίδας που πραγματοποιήθηκε στον Μυστρά στις 24-25 Νοεμβρίου 2023 και περιλαμβάνει δεκαέξι μελέτες.
Στην έκδοση, που αποτελεί τον δεύτερο τόμο του σχετικού ευρύτερου έργου, παρουσιάζονται τα εφυαλωμένα αγγεία (τα bacini) που είναι εντοιχισμένα στις όψεις πολυάριθμων ναών της περιφερειακής ενότητας Λασιθίου. Τα αγγεία εντοπίστηκαν στο πλαίσιο του ερευνητικού προγράμματος: «Εντοιχισμένα αγγεία σε βυζαντινές και μεταβυζαντινές εκκλησίες του ελληνικού χώρου: ένα ηλεκτρονικό corpus».
