(Mit 4 Textfiguren) (Vorgelegt in der Sitzung am 18. Oktober 1934) I. Einleitung und Reisebericht. Die in den Jahren 1927 und 1932 unternommenen Reisen nach den Inseln des Ägäischen Meeres konnten, obwohl sie nur der Rekognoszierung dienen und keinesfalls einen Abschluß be• deuten sollten, doch noch immer keinen vollkommenen Überblick auch nur über die Tierwelt der größeren Inseln des Archipels ge• währen. So entschloß ich mich, eine weitere Reise in dieses Gebiet zu unternehmen, die am 14. April 1934 angetreten wurde und für deren Subventionierung ich wie auch vor zwei Jahren der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien sowie Herrn Prof. Thomas Barbour, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Mass. U. S. A. zu aufrichtigstem Danke verpflichtet bin, den ich hier zu gebührendem Ausdrucke bringe. Durch die Teilnahme von Herrn Kustos Dr. Otto Wettstein vom Naturhistorischen Museum in Wien war eine Arbeitsteilung zur Erforschung einer relativ großen Zahl von Inseln möglich. Dr. Wettstein besuchte davon viele, namentlich im Osten des Zykladenmeeres (zwischen Naxos und Amorgos sowie südlich von dieser Insel, ferner Anaphi und einige benachbarte Inseln), sowie den Furni-Archipel bei Samos ohne mich, während ich Antiparos in Gesellschaft der Herren Studierenden der Medizin G. Netolitzky und H. Lenz, die die Zykladenreise mit uns machten, sowie Polivos und Agios Eustathios bei Milos mit Herrn Lenz allein, Kythnos, Siphnos, Kimolos, Paros, Pholegandros, Kardiotissa, Sikinos in Ge• sellschaft der drei genannten Herren, die großen Inseln an der Westküste Kleinasiens (Ikaria, Chios, Mytilene und Samothrake) mit Kustos Wettstein allein durchforschte.

In the same apartment block lives her older daugh- ter’s family. Around her apartment are pictures of her family, her daughters, her grandchildren and her husband as well as her sisters’ families. In the living room there is an impressive library, where one mostly sees history books. The apartment is always full of little treats for guests or the family and it always has a delicious cooking odor.

Annita Mordechai I don’t know much about my great-grandparents. I didn’t even meet my grand- fathers, neither of the two. I did meet my grandmothers though before they were taken to the concentration camps. I believe that my father’s family came from Portugal because they ended up in Monastir, a small town in Serbia. I don’t know very much about my father’s family. My grandfather on my father’s side was named David Pardo and was married to Lea Kamhi.

    DESERTMED a Project About the Deserted Islands of the Mediterranean

    DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean The islands, and all the more so the deserted island, is an extremely poor or weak notion from the point of view of geography. This is to it’s credit. The range of islands has no objective unity, and deserted islands have even less. The deserted island may indeed have extremely poor soil. Deserted, the is- land may be a desert, but not necessarily. The real desert is uninhabited only insofar as it presents no conditions that by rights would make life possible, weather vegetable, animal, or human. On the contrary, the lack of inhabitants on the deserted island is a pure fact due to the circumstance, in other words, the island’s surroundings. The island is what the sea surrounds. What is de- serted is the ocean around it. It is by virtue of circumstance, for other reasons that the principle on which the island depends, that the ships pass in the distance and never come ashore.“ (from: Gilles Deleuze, Desert Island and Other Texts, Semiotext(e),Los Angeles, 2004) DESERTMED A project about the deserted islands of the Mediterranean Desertmed is an ongoing interdisciplina- land use, according to which the islands ry research project.

    Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences

    Athens Journal of History January 2016 Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences By Antonella Manzo The main aim of this work is to critically examine Santa Fosca building period through the analysis of the similarities as well as the differences with some churches located in Greece and belonging to the so-called octagonal domed type. In fact, since the second half of the Nineteenth century a historiographical tradition has compared Santa Fosca with these Greek Middle-Byzantine churches, where eight supports, piers or columns, arranged in a regular or irregular octagon, receive the loads from the cupola. The comparison is based on the direct analysis of these buildings: the structural configuration, the constructive materials and techniques as well as the affinities in decoration, occurring both inside and outside, are under investigation. This contribution offers a new perspective, from which it could be possible to study the period of erection of the Venetian church, a topic that is still object of debate among the scientific community. Introduction Torcello is an island belonging to the Northern Venetian Laguna, which lives its golden age during the X-XI century AD: in his Administrando Imperio of 927 Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus defines Torcello as emporion mega, to testify the great importance of its intense trades with the Orient. The church of Santa Fosca is located on the island at the Southern side of the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, whose origins date back to the inscription of 639 AD, discovered during the excavations of 1895.

    ASPECTS OF ST ANNA’S CULT IN BYZANTIUM by EIRINI PANOU A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 Acknowledgments It is said that a PhD is a lonely work. However, this thesis, like any other one, would not have become reality without the contribution of a number of individuals and institutions. First of all of my academical mother, Leslie Brubaker, whose constant support, guidance and encouragement accompanied me through all the years of research. Of the National Scholarship Foundation of Greece ( I.K.Y.) with its financial help for the greatest part of my postgraduate studies. Of my father George, my mother Angeliki and my bother Nick for their psychological and financial support, and of my friends in Greece (Lily Athanatou, Maria Sourlatzi, Kanela Oikonomaki, Maria Lemoni) for being by my side in all my years of absence. Special thanks should also be addressed to Mary Cunningham for her comments on an early draft of this thesis and for providing me with unpublished material of her work. I would like also to express my gratitude to Marka Tomic Djuric who allowed me to use unpublished photographic material from her doctoral thesis. Special thanks should also be addressed to Kanela Oikonomaki whose expertise in Medieval Greek smoothened the translation of a number of texts, my brother Nick Panou for polishing my English, and to my colleagues (Polyvios Konis, Frouke Schrijver and Vera Andriopoulou) and my friends in Birmingham (especially Jane Myhre Trejo and Ola Pawlik) for the wonderful time we have had all these years.
