2016.02.19 - Symposium of Mediterranean Medieval Studies, 17.-18.03.2016

1st SYMPOSIUM OF MEDITERRANEAN
MEDIEVAL STUDIES
Wrocław, March 17-18, 2016
The Mediterranean gave birth to great ancient and antique civilizations. The region retained its
primacy in the early Middle Ages. It became the arena of activity of the Byzantine Empire, the
representatives of the Latin world, the Arabs and the Turks.
Moreover, the Mediterranean was back then also the direction of expansion of peoples from the
North - the Scandinavians, Vikings, Rus’ and Normans. This resulted in, amongst others, permanent
expeditions of inhabitants of Eastern Europe to Constantinople, the emergence of Norman Kingdom
of Southern Italy and Sicily, and during the Crusades creation of the Principality of Antioch
dominated by the Normans.
(1) The presence of representatives of the North in the Mediterranean zone; (2) contacts of these
people with the representatives of the Byzantine civilization, the Latin and Islamic tradition, as well
as the legacy of the antiquity; (3) and the cultural context in which occurred studied phenomena are
the subjects of two research projects under the 
MEDITERRANEO programme. The topic of the first
of them is the presence of Scandinavians and the Rus’ in the Byzantine Empire, and of the second
the activity of the Normans in southern Italy.
The aim of the symposium is cyclical presentation of the results of research carried out under the
MEDITERRANEO programme, exchange of experience, results of research and discussion with
scholars conducting studies on sites covered by the 
MEDITERRANEO programme and in fields of
Mediterranean medieval studies including archaeology, history, philology, architecture,
numismatics, art history and religious studies.
The 
MEDITERRANEO project is led by the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish
Academy of Sciences, Centre for Late Antique and Early Medieval Studies in Wrocław in cooperation with scientific institutions in Turkey (Department of Archaeology of the Kocaeli University, Department of Archaeology of the Selcuk University in Konya) and Italy (Soprintendenza Palermo. Sezione Beni Archeologici). It corresponds to Wrocław tradition of Byzantine studies, initiated in our city by George Ostrogorski and Mediterranean archaeology of the Middle Ages created by Lech Leciejewicz.
