DONALD NICOL Donald Macgillivray Nicol 1923–2003
DONALD NICOL Donald MacGillivray Nicol 1923–2003 DONALD MACGILLIVRAY NICOL was born in Portsmouth on 4 February 1923, the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister. He was always proud of his MacGillivray antecedents (on his mother’s side) and of his family’s connection with Culloden, the site of the Jacobite defeat in 1745, on whose correct pronunciation he would always insist. Despite attending school first in Sheffield and then in London, he retained a slight Scottish accent throughout his life. By the time he left St Paul’s School, already an able classical scholar, it was 1941; the rest of his education would have to wait until after the war. Donald’s letters, which he carefully preserved and ordered with the instinct of an archivist, provide details of the war years.1 In 1942, at the age of nineteen, he was teaching elementary maths, Latin and French to the junior forms at St-Anne’s-on-Sea, Lancashire. He commented to his father that he would be dismissed were it known that he was a conscientious objector. By November of that year he had entered a Friends’ Ambulance 1 The bulk of his letters are to his father (1942–6) and to his future wife (1949–50). Also preserved are the letters of his supervisor, Sir Steven Runciman, over a forty-year period. Other papers are his diaries, for a short period of time in 1944, his notebooks with drawings and plans of churches he studied in Epiros, and his account of his travels on Mount Athos. This material is now in the King’s College London Archives, by courtesy of the Nicol family. -

The Miracle Cycle Between Constantinople, Thessalonike, and Mistra
chapter 14 The Miracle Cycle between Constantinople, Thessalonike, and Mistra Maria Alessia Rossi This paper will address the dialectic between the City and the cities from an art historical perspective. I will focus on the development of Christ’s Miracle Cycle in Constantinople, Thessalonike, and Mistra. The comparison of three churches housing this iconography, one from each city, will give an insight into the relationship between the capital and the other cities of the empire in the early Palaiologan period: the monastery of Chora in Constantinople (1316–21), the parekklesion of St. Euthymios in Thessalonike (1303), and the church of the Aphendiko in Mistra (1311–13).1 The aim is to examine the differences and simi- larities in the layout and grouping of the episodes of this Cycle, as well as the function and meaning they came to convey. In the first instance, this is in order to understand why this rare iconography was chosen to decorate churches so far away from each other. Secondly, this paper will ask whether the icono- graphic scheme conveyed different meanings in different cities and contexts. The reconquest of Constantinople by Emperor Michael VIII in 1261 sealed the beginning of the Palaiologan period and was hailed by its contemporaries as the will of God.2 Nevertheless, the empire was reduced in size, and surrounded 1 For a general overview of the artistic and cultural patronage of the period, see Edmund Boleslaw Fryde, The Early Palaeologan Renaissance (1261–c. 1360) (Leiden, 2000).

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense. -
The Madre Della Consolazione Icon in the British Museum: Post-Byzantine Painting, Painters and Society on Crete*
JAHRBUCH DER ÖSTERREICHISCHEN BYZANTINISTIK, 53. Band/2003, 239–255 © 2003 by Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Wien ANGELIKI LYMBEROPOULOU / BIRMINGHAM THE MADRE DELLA CONSOLAZIONE ICON IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM: POST-BYZANTINE PAINTING, PAINTERS AND SOCIETY ON CRETE* With two plates A small portable icon (350 × 270 mm), now in the British Museum, Department of Medieval and Later Antiquities (reg. No. 1994, 1–2, 6), depicts the Virgin and Child (fig. 1). It is painted on a single panel of pine wood, apparently without fabric between the ground and wood support. The icon was bequeathed by Guy Holford Dixon JP, who bought it from the Temple Gallery. A label on the back, attached when the icon was in the possession of the Temple Gallery, describes it as being Russian of the six- teenth century. In a preliminary Museum catalogue, however, the origin was given as Italy or Crete and the date as seventeenth century.1 The truth about the origin and the dating of the icon, as we shall see, lies in the mid- dle: I will argue that it is from Crete and of the sixteenth century. The Virgin is depicted half-length, holding the Christ-Child in her right arm while touching His left leg gently with her left hand. Her head is tilted towards the Child, although she does not look at Him. She wears a green garment and a purple maphorion on top, which bears pseudo-kufic decoration on the edges; decorative motives are also visible on the gar- ment’s collar and left sleeve. The maphorion is held together in front of the Virgin’s chest with a golden brooch, which apparently used to have decora- tion, now lost. -
Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies: a Partial View
BMGS 12 (1988) 1-26 Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies: a partial view Anthony Bryer For Donald Nicol Eiq noXXobc, Kai dyaQoui; xpovooc; Donald Nicol, Founding Editor of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, retires from his distinguished tenure of the Koraes Chair of Modern Greek and Byzantine History, Language and Literature at King's College London this year. May his successor, Roddy Beaton, have many years. The change of Koraes professors and widespread concern for the future of the Bywater and Sotheby Chair of Byzantine and Modern Greek Language and Literature at Oxford, from which Cyril Mango retires in 1995, have aroused discussion of what Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies are, which touch the identity of this journal.1 1. The discussion has so far been, somewhat unusually, in newspapers: letters in The Times, 27 March, 2 and 17 April 1987, and in articles in The Times Higher Educa tional Supplement, April 1987 (by Karen Gold); The Guardian, 11 May 1987 (by Judith Herrin); I Kathimerini, May 1987 (by Haris Kalliga); Akropolis, November 1987; and the Financial Times, 5 December 1987. In 1987 the British National Com mittee of the International Byzantine Association, which is a committee of the British Academy and Executive of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies (SPBS), and SCOMGIU (the Standing Committee on Modern Greek in Universities), indicated that they wished their fields to be reviewed separately by the British University Grants Committee, which may prove the author of the FTs article in practice. But perhaps the first time that the subject has been aired by some of its practitioners was at a discussion of it on 4 February 1988, which was joined by the editorial board of this journal and staff and graduate students of the Centre for Byzantine Studies and Modern Greek in Birmingham. -

It is the year 1473 A.D., 20 years after the fall of Constantinople. On May 29, 1453, the Eastern Roman Empire came to an end with the military takeover of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks. How could an empire cease to exist? What were the people in and around the area doing in its final days? History does not occur in a vacuum. What occurs in one place effects others and can be partially caused by the actions or non-actions of neighbors. -

Preface The present Festschrift in honour of the distinguished Byzantinist Costas N. Constan- tinides was initially conceived as a volume to celebrate his retirement from active academic duties at the University of Ioannina in 2016. For reasons beyond our con- trol its publication was postponed and instead a Colloquium celebrating this happy event took place in the Central Library of the University of Ioannina on 26 October 2016, the papers of which were published in the volume Λόγιοι και Λογιοσύνη στο Βυζάντιο. Συμπόσιο προς τιμήν του Καθηγητή Κώστα Ν. Κωνσταντινίδη / Scholars and Scholarship in Byzantium. Colloquium in Honour of Professor Costas N. Constan- tinides, edited by P. G. Antonopoulos, I. A. Giarenis and D. C. Agoritsas (Thessaloniki: University Studio Press, 2019). A positive result of this delay was that several young- er scholars, former students of Professor Constantinides, were able to enrich the Bibliophilos with their articles, representing the new generation of Byzantinists who benefitted from the scholarship and guidance of our honorand. Born in an upper-middle-class family in Cyprus on 30 December 1949, Costas Constantinides received his early education in the Greek Gymnasium of Solea. The world he grew up was marked by the uprising of the Greek Cypriots against the British colonial rule of the island that resulted in the declaration of the Independent Republic of Cyprus (1960), which, however, inaugurated intercommunal troubles and a new bitter chapter in the history of the island. In 1969 he moved to Athens where he read History and Archaeology at the University of Athens, graduating with distinction in 1973. -
