The fresco decoration of the church, according to the inscription of the painting was completed in 15th August 1573, by the hand of Neophytos, son of the Cretan painter Theophanis Bathas and by the priest Kyriazis, in the time of the archbishopric of Daniel, Bishop of Larisa.

period Iznik ware was made mainly for the use of the Ottoman court and to decorated palaces and mosques. From the late 16th century onwards
however the workshops received increasingly more orders from other markets. To this period belongs a group of inscribed ceramic dishes and tiles that date from the second half of the 17th century. The dishes bear Greek inscriptions on the rim, mostly of a religious content, while others mention the names of dedicands. The majority of these are kept in museum collections, a few are in private hands and the rest are found in churches and the monasteries of Mount Athos. In this context the paper examines a group of Iznik ceramics kept in the monasteries. The most important case is the decoration of the katholikon of the Great Lavra with polychrome tiles featuring floral patterns and three Greek inscriptions, two with a religious content and one with historical information. Two other cases are two pairs of inscribed dishes, one at Simonopetra and another at Pantokrator where in both instances they were once used as decorative features on wall facades.
We are delighted to share with you our initiative for an International Conference devoted to aspects of Byzantine and Post byzantine Inscriptions of Mount Athos, to be held virtually via Zoom in 16-18 February 2024.
As an eminent center of cenobitic monasticism since the tenth century, Athos benefited from the patronage of Byzantine emperors and aristocrats who financed buildings and precious objects. Inscriptions provide evidence for this rich activity which continued in the following centuries. The study of the Byzantine and Post byzantine inscriptions in Mount Athos has long been neglected and thus, the present Conference aims to provide a fresh impetus on the field.
Our scholarly meeting would like to offer an interdisciplinary forum for a selection of papers that touch upon some of the following aspects:
Byzantine inscriptions in monuments
Byzantine dedicatory inscriptions
Byzantine funerary inscriptions
Byzantine inscriptions in sculptures
Byzantine inscriptions in minor arts
Inscriptions in lead seals
Byzantine inscriptions in woodworks
Byzantine inscriptions in frescoes
Byzantine inscriptions in icons
Latin inscriptions
Georgian inscriptions
Old Slavonic inscriptions
Arabic inscriptions
Ottoman inscriptions
Pseudo-inscriptions
Heraldry and inscriptions
Graffiti
Monograms
Postbyzantine inscriptions in monuments
Postbyzantine dedicatory inscriptions
Posbyzantine funerary inscriptions
Postbyzantine inscriptions in sculptures
Postbyzantine inscriptions in minor arts
Postbyzantine inscriptions in woodworks
Postbyzantine inscriptions in frescoes
Postbyzantine inscriptions in icons
Donors and their ideology as reflected in inscriptions
Innovation of patronage through inscriptions
Critical editions of inscriptions
Detailed interdisciplinary analysis of inscriptions
Visual qualities of inscriptions
Databases of inscriptions
The Proceedings of the Conference will be published.

We are delighted to share with you our initiative for an international conference devoted to Italian artworks, secular and ecclesiastical, of 14th-16th c. in the Greek East, to be held virtually via Zoom in 24-26 November 2023. A hybrid version of the Conference will be hosted by the Hellenic Institute of Byzantine and Postbyzantine Studies in Venice (Istituto Ellenico di Studi Bizantini e Postbizantini di Venezia).
This scholarly meeting seeks to illuminate not only the presence of Italians, but also the amassment of Italian works in the Greek East, as a result of the new realities following the Fourth Crusade, the establishment of various Latin dominions and the development of an intensive network of trade relations. Our conference does not aim at exhausting the subject, but would like to offer an interdisciplinary forum for papers that touch upon the following aspects:
Venetian domination in Greece
Genoese domination in NE Aegean
Italian rulers in Epirus and the Ionian islands
Italian traders in the East
Venetian and Ottoman Art: osmosis and interaction
Venetian and Byzantine Art: osmosis and interaction
Late Gothic and Early Renaissance Italian sculpture
Venetian and Genoese Heraldry
Italian woodwork
Italian painting
Objects of everyday life
Metal artifacts from West and East
Maiolica and other Italian ceramics
Venetian glass
Italian Textiles
Italian Costumes
Donors and their ideology as reflected on the patronage of artworks
The Proceedings of the Conference will be published by the Hellenic Institute of Venice.

Michela AGAZZI, Professor of Medieval Art, Università Ca’Foscari, Venezia, Dipartimento i Filosofia e Beni Culturali

For these reasons, the international conference on “Byzantine Thessaly, Twelfth – Fourteenth Centuries” pays tribute to Paul Magdalino. The Conference, both in person and online, will be hosted by the Diachronic Museum of Larissa and it will take place in the early fall of 2023. The organizing committee gladly welcomed papers about the history and archaeology of Thessaly during the late Komnenian and the Palaiologan periods.

INSCRIBING TEXTS
IN BYZANTIUM:
CONTINUITIES AND TRANSFORMATIONS
18-20 March 2016, Exeter College, Oxford
In spite of the striking abundance of extant primary material – over 4000 Greek texts produced in the period between the sixth and fifteenth centuries – Byzantine Epigraphy remains largely uncharted territory, with a reputation for being elusive and esoteric that obstinately persists. References to inscriptions in our texts show how ubiquitous and deeply engrained the epigraphic habit was in Byzantine society, and underscore the significance of epigraphy as an auxiliary discipline. The growing interest in material culture, including inscriptions, has opened new avenues of research and led to various explorations in the field of epigraphy, but what is urgently needed is a synthetic approach that incorporates literacy, built environment, social and political contexts, and human agency. The SPBS Symposium 2016 has invited specialists in the field to examine diverse epigraphic material in order to trace individual epigraphic habits, and outline overall inscriptional traditions. In addition to the customary format of panel papers and shorter communications, the Symposium will organise a round table, whose participants will lead a debate on the topics presented in the panel papers, and discuss the methodological questions of collection, presentation and interpretation of Byzantine inscriptional material.
