Our PI, Paweł Nowakowski, is presenting the project at the digital Doktorandinnen- und Doktorandenkolloquium von Christoph Markschies, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 8 January 2021, 5.00pm CET

Epigraphy and Identity in the Early Byzantine Middle East: A Short Introduction to a New Project

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin with its Theological Faculty is one of the leading centres of research on late antique epigraphy. The database of Inscriptiones Christianae Graecae, or ‘Greek Christian inscriptions (ICG) ‘early Christian insciptions’, sponsored by the Excellence Cluster 264 TOPOI since 2008 is now one of the most indispensable research instruments in this field.

This presentation, scheduled for about 30 minutes and followed by a discussion, will provide an overview of the basics of our project, its methodology and digital solutions, and will show an exemplary site, Khirbet el-Kursi in the suburbs of Amman, where an inteprlay of Greek and CPA inscriptions unfolds an interesting pattern.
