Funded Activity Summary

Byzantine Chronicle of Kedrenos, Translation and Commentary. Mid-East and Balkan tensions have roots in the 11th-12th centuries when Orthodox Byzantium, already under northern pressure (Slavs), became the battleground where the West (Normans, Franks, Catholic Christianity) fought the Arabs and Islam for the glittering prize: Jerusalem. Kedrenos's massive Chronicle, from the heart of this period, is indirectly a major ideological statement. The key of intertextuality can unlock its insights into the genesis of current attitudes and conflicts. The project joins a "dream team" of Australian Byzantinists (world leaders in this approach) with specialist international collaborators to produce a reliable, accessible text and reveal its relevance.
