The academic vocabulary used to describe the Iconoclastic Controversy in Byzantium includes both authentic Middle Greek lexemes and artificial terms coined in 16th–17th-century Western Europe, developed in the context of Reformation theological debates. The former category is largely represented by terms referring to the so-called Iconoclasts (εἰκονομάχοι, εἰκονοκλάσται, εἰκονοκαῦ[σ]ται), while the latter includes designations for ...

This article examines the historical semantics of the post-classical Greek word χριστιανοκατήγορος (literally, “an accuser of Christians”). While its existence in the early Byzantine period is doubtful — there is only one isolated occurrence, which had no impact on later tradition and may even be a 10th-century correction — after the Second Council of Nicaea ...

Scholars of Byzantine Iconoclasm treat the heresiological text entitled On councils and heresies and attributed to Germanos of Constantinople with caution, because its anti-iconoclastic chapters are considered to be later additions. Whereas the arguments in favor of the interpolation theory are inconclusive, any thorough discussion of the text’s stratigraphy, authorship, and date must be preceded ...

Mid-fourteenth-century Byzantine sources bear witness to an increased interest in Iconoclasm among the theologians involved in the Hesychast Controversy. The writings of the defenders of icon veneration were mined for authoritative quotations and the history of Iconoclasm became a repository of historical role models. This article is comprised of two sections. The first part expands ...

Lukhovitskiy L., СПб.: Дмитрий Буланин, 2023.
В монографии прослеживается эволюция исторической памяти об иконоборческих спорах VIII—IX вв. в литературе средне- и поздне-византийского периода. В фокусе внимания автора находятся, с одной стороны, моменты актуализации обвинений в иконоборчестве в церковно-политических конфликтах эпохи Алексея I Комнина (1081—1118 гг.), Лионской унии (1274 г.) и исихастских споров (середина XIV в.), а с другой — художественные образы ...

Настоящую книгу составили переводы греческих текстов VIII–X веков,
рассказывающих различные истории, подчас фантастические, о древней
культуре Константинополя. Заброшенные в «темные века» здания и непонятные статуи внушали горожанам суеверный ужас, но самые смелые из
них пытались проникнуть в тайны древних памятников, порой рискуя
жизнью. Загадочные руины обрастали пышными легендами, а за парадным
фасадом Города крылся необычный мир древних богов и демонов.

In Middle and Late Byzantium, the historical memory of iconoclasm was revived thrice: during the reign of Alexios I Komnenos (1081–1018), after the Union of Lyons (1274), and during the Hesychast controversy (since 1347). These stages reveal differences as for the choice of sources and polemical strategies. The Komnenian polemicists’ primary sources on the history ...

Nikephoros Gregoras’ metaphrasis of the Vita of St. Michael the Synkellos (BHG 1297), if compared with its immediate source BHG 1296, sheds new light on Gregoras’ metaphrastic approaches and literary concepts. A comparative analysis allows to distinguish the following metaphrastic techniques introduced to meet the aesthetic demands of the learned Palaiologan audience: simplification of plot-motifs, ...

The “Sacred Arsenal” composed by Andronikos Kamateros on the request of the emperor Manuel I Komnenos (1143–1180) opens with a dialogue, which claims to be an exact record of a theological dispute organized in Constantinople between Manuel and the envoys of the Pope Alexander III (1158–1181) within the framework of Manuel’s unionist projects.

The author first characterizes Palaiologan versions of older hagiographies as very different in scope from the
metaphraseis of Symeon in the 10th century, as far as they did not just pretended a linguistic recasting but to adapt the story to new purposes and audiences, each author following his own standards. He tries to prove his point ...

Throughout the centuries Byzantium's ambitious authors were conscious of the significance of literary registers for the reception of their texts. They deliberately made use of stylistic elements or refrained from using certain features in order to reach their target audience. There are certain groups of texts dating from various periods where these stylistic elements can ...

The article focuses on the historical semantics of πειθανάγκη. It is a postclassical creation with the earliest attestation in Polybius and the earliest conscious usage as an oxymoron in Cicero. In Late Antiquity and Early Byzantium it occurs rarely and means “coercion” or “extortion” — a device used by those in power to force their ...

Michael Glykas is best known as the author of a vast Chronicle covering the historical events from Creation to the death of the emperor Alexios I Komnenos (1118 AD). Although quite popular in Byzantium, this composition does not enjoy high reputation among the scholars, the reason being its loose composition and massive uncritical borrowings from earlier sources with only ...

The article brings under scrutiny an understudied dialogical account about the deposition of the patriarch of Constantinople Nicholas IV Mouzalon (1147–51). A close reading shows that this is not an official record of the proceedings but a piece of fiction that deliberately inverts the generic conventions of the two types of texts indicative of the ...
