A Century of Byzantine Studies in Turkey

The International Sevgi Gönül Byzantine Studies Symposium, which has been held annually for the last seventeen years has made a remarkable contribution to the development of Byzantine studies in Turkey. The Sixth Symposium was held in 2023, marking the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Turkish Republic. The symposium took this opportunity to evaluate the progress of Byzantine studies in Turkey through a common platform, thus the title became, “A Century of Byzantine Studies in Turkey.” This volume contains the 27 papers presented at the symposium, investigating the different aspects of academic and archeological studies regarding Byzantium in the country, including analysis on the role of universities, field studies, restorations, museology and publishing among a range of topics.
