In spite of the striking abundance of extant primary material,
Byzantine epigraphy remains uncharted territory. The volume of the
Proceedings of the 49th SPBS Spring Symposium aims to promote the
field of Byzantine epigraphy as a whole, and topics and subjects
covered include: Byzantine attitudes towards the inscribed word,
the questions of continuity and transformation, the context and
function of epigraphic evidence, the levels of formality and
authority, the material aspect of writing, and the verbal, visual
and symbolic meaning of inscribed texts. The collection is intended
as a valuable scholarly resource presenting and examining a
substantial quantity of diverse epigraphic material, and outlining
the chronological development of epigraphic habits, and of
individual epigraphic genres in Byzantium. The contributors also
discuss the methodological questions of collecting, presenting and
interpreting the most representative Byzantine inscriptional
material, and addressing epigraphic material to make it relevant to
a wider scholarly community.
