The project The “Greek-speaking” Merchants of Constantinople, the Southern Balkans, Asia Minor, and the Islands aims to record and utilize information concerning the activities of “Greek-speaking” merchants within this geographical area.

The digital database contains information on the Peloponnese concerning raw materials (soil, subsoil), natural resources (forest products, fishery products, rocks), and agricultural produce (farming, livestock) from Late Antiquity to the Late Byzantine period, that is, from the 4th to the 15th century.

The database includes iconographic material focusing on depictions of the codex in mosaics, frescoes, panel paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and works of minor arts. Its purpose is to document and analyze the iconographic conventions used in portraying the codex — which, in most cases, represents the Gospel Book.
