Byzantium at Early Modern Courts
Reception, Confrontation and Projects
The present volume constitutes a compendium of papers from a conference held in Mainz in November of 2022. The objective of this volume is to examine the various dimensions of the presence of Byzantium at early modern courts. Therefore, the scope of the publication will extend to the treatment of Byzantine artifacts, the reception of Byzantium in the context of power, and the extant knowledge on Byzantium within the courtly milieu. The objective of this conference is to examine the competition for Byzantine heritage and to assess the extent to which attempts were made to revive and utilize it.
