The most important development was the deci- sion taken by the College authorities last November, to place the Institute under the History Department in order to secure its financial viability. I have accepted this decision with relief, after more than two years of indecision as to its future. I am most grateful to the Vice-Principal Mr David Sweeney, The Dean of the Fac- ulty of Arts Mrs Máire Davies, the Heads of Classics and History Departments Professors Jonathan Powell and Justin Champion, the members of the Review Committee including the external assessors, and last but not least the members of our Steering Group, especially Professor John Barron, Mr Michael Heslop, H.E. Mrs Edmée Leventis and Marina Lady Marks for their support. The decision of the History Department to include the MA in Hellenic Studies as a pathway in the new MA in Advanced History secured the revival of this unique multidisciplinary MA programme which gives a diachronic view and ap- preciation of Greek history, tradition and culture. The programme is currently be- ing re-designed. With the co-operation of the Departments of History and Classics we hope that it will be offered in the next academic year. In addition, new undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Greek and Byzantine History and Palaeography are now offered, including BA courses on “Gods, Men and Power: An Introduction to Ancient Greece, Rome and Byzantium”, “Byzan- tium and its Neighbours, 602-1071”, and “The Causes and Consequences of the Fall of Constantinople (1453)” by Dr Jonathan Harris; and MA courses on “Byz- antine Autographs (13-15th century)” and “Byzantine Hands of the Palaeologan Period” by Dr Charalambos Dendrinos, while newly-designed unit courses in Modern Greek Language and Literature are now offered in the Classics Depart- ment by Dr Polymnia Tsagouria, seconded by the Greek Ministry of Education. With the contribution of the Classics and History Departments we are able to cover aspects of Greek language, history and culture from the Classical age and Late Antiquity to the Byzantine period and Modern Hellenism. Our next priority is the establishment of a Lectureship in Modern Greek History with emphasis on Anglo-Hellenic Relations. So far we have secured almost half of the necessary funds, thanks to the support of the Greek Ministry of Culture. We shall now in- tensify our efforts to secure the remainder so that we can advertise the post as soon as possible. 2 FRIENDS OF THE HELLENIC INSTITUTE Last year was marked by the death of Professor Joan Mervyn Hussey (1907- 20.II.2006). Emeritus Professor of History in the University of London and former Head of the History Department at Royal Holloway College, Joan Hussey was an internationally renowned Byzantine scholar and a dedicated teacher. She will be greatly missed, in particular by her friends and former students. In her memory “The Joan Mervyn Hussey Memorial Prize in Byzantine Studies” is established to be awarded to Hellenic Institute’s students who complete their MA in Late An- tique and Byzantine Studies with the mark of distinction. Unfortunately, Professor Hussey did not live to see the 21st International Con- gress of Byzantine Studies held in London last August, forty years after the 13th International Congress of Byzantine Studies convened in Oxford (1966), which she organized together with the late Steven Runciman and Dmitri Obolensky. An important aspect of her scholarly work was the study of the ecclesiastical relations between Byzantium and the West. The cataloguing of the Greek Manuscript Col- lection of Lambeth Palace Library by a team of our graduate students last year, on the occasion of the Byzantine Congress, reflects in a sense her legacy. All that has been achieved this year was due to the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff, colleagues and students, and the support of our College, Friends and sponsors, the Greek Ministries of Culture and Education, the Ministry of Educa- tion and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, The A.G. Leventis Foundation, The Hellenic Foundation, the London Hellenic Society, the Orthodox Cultural Asso- ciation and the Friends of the Hellenic Institute, to whom I would like to express our deep gratitude. Among our private donors I would like to thank in particular Mrs Angelike Frangou for her continued support towards the funding of “H.A.H. The Ecumeni- cal Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomaios I Postgraduate Studentship in Byz- antine Studies”, and Mrs Politeia Katekou for her generous donation towards the establishment of “The Panagiotis and Eleni Xenou Postgraduate Studentship in Hellenic and Byzantine Studies” in memory of her late parents. Such generosity gives us strength to double our efforts in promoting Greek Paideia and its ideals among the new generation of students and future scholars. With best wishes for a Happy and Peaceful New Year, J. Chrysostomides NEWSLETTER 2006 3 ABOUT THE HELLENIC INSTITUTE Established in 1993, The Hellenic Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London is a research centre of the History Department maintaining strong links with the Department of Classics. It brings together two areas of teaching and research in which Royal Holloway has long excelled: the study of the language, literature and history of Ancient Greece, and Byzan- tine Studies. It aims to consolidate these strengths and to extend them by promoting further the study of Hellenic tradition across the centuries, from the archaic and classical Greece, through the Hellenistic times, Byzantium and the Post-Byzantine period, to the modern world. The Hellenic Institute hosts a number of research projects and organises seminars, lectures and conferences addressed to students, scholars and to a wider public. The Hellenic Institute also seeks to bring together at a national and interna- tional level all those who share its interests. It collaborates closely with other institutions in the University of London and The Hellenic Centre, a cultural meeting place for the Greek community in London. It maintains links with Universities overseas, especially in Greece and Cyprus. As part of its teaching activities The Hellenic Institute runs the taught MA degree course in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies. It is hoped that the MA in Advanced History: Hellenic Studies, currently being re-designed, will be offered in the next academic year. The Institute also offers supervi- sion to research students. In 1999 The Friends of the Hellenic Institute were established with the aim to provide funding for The Nikolaos Oikonomides Studentship, to enable gifted students to pursue postgraduate studies in Byzantine History and Literature at the Institute. The Hellenic Institute is currently receiving funding from the Greek Minis- tries of Culture and Education, the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, The A.G. Leventis Foundation, The Hellenic Foundation, the London Hellenic Society, the Orthodox Cultural Associa- tion, the Friends of the Hellenic Institute, and private donors.

  • Michael Panaretos in Context
    DOI 10.1515/bz-2019-0007 BZ 2019; 112(3): 899–934 Scott Kennedy Michael Panaretos in context A historiographical study of the chronicle On the emperors of Trebizond Abstract: It has often been said it would be impossible to write the history of the empire of Trebizond (1204–1461) without the terse and often frustratingly la- conic chronicle of the Grand Komnenoi by the protonotarios of Alexios III (1349–1390), Michael Panaretos. While recent scholarship has infinitely en- hanced our knowledge of the world in which Panaretos lived, it has been approx- imately seventy years since a scholar dedicated a historiographical study to the text. This study examines the world that Panaretos wanted posterity to see, ex- amining how his post as imperial secretary and his use of sources shaped his representation of reality, whether that reality was Trebizond’s experience of for- eigners, the reign of Alexios III, or a narrative that showed the superiority of Tre- bizond on the international stage. Finally by scrutinizing Panaretos in this way, this paper also illuminates how modern historians of Trebizond have been led astray by the chronicler, unaware of Panaretos selected material for inclusion for the narratives of his chronicle. Adresse: Dr. Scott Kennedy, Bilkent University, Main Camous, G Building, 24/g, 06800 Bilkent–Ankara, Turkey; [email protected] Established just before the fall of Constantinople in 1204, the empire of Trebi- zond (1204–1461) emerged as a successor state to the Byzantine empire, ulti- mately outlasting its other Byzantine rivals until it fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1461.

  • Friends of the Hellenic Institute: Newsletter 2008
    Friends of the Hellenic Institute: Newsletter 2008 Letter from the Acting Director 31tst January 2009 Dear Friend, Last year was marked by the death of our Director Julian Chrysostomides (†18.X.2008), and our Friend and member of the Steering Group Professor John Barron (†16.VIII.2008), while more recently the Friend of the Institute Professor Zaga Gavrilović (†19.I.2009) also passed away. They all belonged to the generation of dedicated scholars and teachers who left an indelible mark on Hellenic and Byzantine Studies internationally. They shall be remembered with deep affection, respect and admiration for their scholarship, integrity and humanity. The Institute extends its deepest sympathy to their families and close friends. In her last Letter to you on 31st January 2008, Julian Chrysostomides celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the Hellenic Institute at Royal Holloway College, and reflected on the past achievements and the future of the Institute. Through her dedication and determination she was able to meet most of the aims and objectives she identified when she assumed the directorship of the Institute in December 1998. Under her inspiring leadership and perseverance, despite some difficult periods, the Institute succeeded in establishing itself as a research centre for the diachronic and interdisciplinary study of Hellenism, expanding its teaching and research activities. The securing of external funding, especially for the re-establishment of the Lectureship in Byzantine History and the establishment of the Lectureship in Byzantine Literature and Greek Palaeography as well as of a number of studentships, bursaries and other awards, was essential for the development of the Institute.

  • Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Empires Reshaped and Reimagined: Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Natalie Sherwan 2016 © Copyright by Natalie Sherwan 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Empires Reshaped and Reimagined: Rome and Constantinople, Popes and Patriarchs, 1204-1453 by Natalie Sherwan Doctor of Philosophy, History University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Patrick Geary, Co-chair Professor Claudia Rapp, Co-chair This dissertation discusses the politics of conquest and the strategies of legitimization pursued by Latin, Greek and Slav contenders for hegemonic rule in the northeastern Mediterranean after the collapse of the Byzantine Empire in the wake of the fourth crusade. It reevaluates the relationship between the concepts of empire and Christendom as played out in the process of political realignment, and closely examines the ways in which the key actors claiming to represent these concepts - emperors, popes, patriarchs - fought or cooperated with one another in order to assert regional preeminence. ii The first part of the dissertation focuses on the tension between the Roman/Byzantine ideal of universalism, which entailed a sole holder of imperial power, and the concrete reality of several empires coexisting within the same geographical area. Chapters one and two provide a survey of the main theoretical issues encountered in the study of medieval empires, and an assessment of the relationship between Byzantine basileis, patriarchs, popes and Western emperors prior to 1204. Chapters three and four investigate the competing but interconnected ruling systems which emerged in the Balkans, the Aegean and Asia Minor after 1204, tracing their policies of war and appeasement until the recovery of Constantinople by the Nicene Greeks in 1261.

This is a special occasion for celebra- tion, but also for reflection on the past achievements and the future objectives of the Institute. A decade ago, in December 1998, I was invited to assume the directorship of the Institute in a climate of uncertainty about its future. The general feeling was that the omens were not good. Convinced that the diachronic and interdisciplinary study of Hellenism offers an essential element in our education, despite my retire- ment in 1993, and my galloping age, I accepted the invitation, on condition that the College would support the Institute by expanding its teaching activities. The College agreed, provided that external funding could be secured. The first step in this direction was the re-establishment of the post in Byzantine History, interrupted after my retirement.

It brings together two areas of teaching and research in which Royal Holloway has long excelled: the study of the language, literature and history of Ancient Greece, and Byzantine Studies. It aims to consolidate these strengths and to extend them by promoting further the study of Hellenic tradition across the centuries, the archaic and classical Greece, through Byzantium to the Post-Byzantine period and the modern world. The Hellenic Institute hosts a number of important research projects and organises seminars, lectures and conferences addressed to students, scholars and to a wider public. The Hellenic Institute also seeks to bring together at a national and international level all those who share its interests. It collaborates closely with other institutions in the University of London and The Hellenic Centre, a cultural meeting place for the Greek community in London. It has links with Universities overseas, especially in Greece and Cyprus. Scholars from the Universities of Athens, Ioannina, Ionion, Peloponnese, Cyprus and Sydney among others have been visiting the Institute as part of collaborative research. Staff of the Institute also contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate courses on Ancient Greek, Byzantine, and Modern Greek history at RHUL.
