Neue Webseite mit Blog: Lost and Forgotten Greek Manuscripts

This website wishes to contribute to and foster ‘Swiss made’ research in Byzantine Studies (however rather rarely ‘made in Switzerland’). This rich and highly interdisciplinary field of research is still largely neglected and underrepresented at Swiss Universities and in Switzerland.
The blog will document my current research project “In the Name of the Rose”, a search for unknown, lost, and forgotten Greek manuscripts and texts in the Vatican Library. It is addressed to anybody interested in manuscripts and their rich context such as history, culture, script, materials, literature, language, knowledge etc., and to anybody who is curious.
