Join us on May 16 at @mfoxford.bsky.social for "Digital Byzantine Studies: Current Methods and Future Applications", a workshop on digital corpora, prosopography, TEI, 3D & more in Byzantine research. Organized by @sealygirl.bsky.social, @surmaison.bsky.social, Olivier Delouis & Claudia Sode.

Beautiful closing remarks delivered by @surmaison.bsky.social #siegelsymposium last week, now available for everyone to read on the SigiDoc blog! 👇🏽

That’s a wrap! The #siegelsymposium has come to an end, and what an incredible days it has been! We had discussions about every aspect of Byzantine history and new insights that pushed the field forward. We had great food & company, and a unique excursion that made this symposium even more special.
