Syrische Felseinsiedeleien
Eremitische Rückzugsorte und Pilgerziele in spätantik-frühbyzantinischer Zeit
The dissertation deals with the hermits' places of retreat and pilgrimage to the rock hermitages they inhabited in Syria in the late antique-early Byzantine period. The cave or rock hermitages of the hermits did not serve exclusively as places of isolation, spiritual contemplation and prayer away from the world. Rather, they were also local, regional and supra-regional pilgrimage sites.
The study of the written and archaeological sources not only makes it possible to better understand the hermitic way of life in the rock dwellings, but also to reconstruct the pilgrimage events in connection with the hermits in their rock hermitages.
