CONGRESS CANCELED Apocalyptic Trajectories in Early Byzantium
Description
Byzantine apocalyptic literature shaped the apocalyptic imagination of the Middle Ages. Narrative sequences and entire texts that originated in Byzantium came to fundamentally condition the medieval outlook of the eschatological future. This session is dedicated to an interdisciplinary discussion of Greek apocalyptic traditions, with an emphasis on historiography, hermeneutical approaches, and textual analysis. The explicit aim of this panel is to integrate references to the Latin West and the Muslim East in order to reconstruct the global dimension of the Byzantine apocalyptic tradition. Brandie Ratliff
