| The main aim of this two-year project is that the PThU develops, in partnership with two Greek and one Dutch research groups, a new project (associated to the already existing Catalogue of Byzantine Manuscripts programme currently underway at the PThU in Kampen), which will concentrate on cataloguing the Byzantine liturgical manuscripts. The efforts of the consortium should lead to an international project proposal that can be submitted for funding to different funding bodies. By means of 3 workshops and 1 scientific publication the research proposal will be prepared. At the same time a well-organised, international cataloguing network in the area of Byzantine manuscripts will be established. To this end this project will lead to reinvigorated dialogue between codicologists, liturgists and theologians from West and East and the cooperation effort will contribute to the important, already ongoing, opening up of a window on the world of theology for Dutch theologians in Greece and Eastern Europe. New partnerships with major academic institutions active in this field in Athens are essential to contribute to the inventory of liturgical manuscripts. |
