Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The ninth century marks the transition from the 'dark centuries' and Iconoclasm to the Macedonian Renaissance. In this period, new power centres emerge in the northwest of the Mediterranean with the Carolingian Kingdom, and in the east, with the caliphate of Baghdad. The political and social life in Byzantium experiences a gradual upswing, combined with increased cultural activity. This lecture course will present Byzantine cultural activities on multiple levels, along with a critical assessment and contextualisation. Special emphasis will be placed on education and learning, including manuscript production.
