While some of the presentations given at these two meetings—those of Denis Feissel, Renate Kohn, Hans Taeuber, Georgios Velenis, Andreas Zajic, and Niccolò Zorzi—will be published elsewhere, this book includes artic- les by other scholars who were not present at these two events, namely Irene Chrestou, Vincent Debiais, Sophia Kalopissi-Verti, Katerina Nikolaou, Linda Safran, and Mustafa Sayar. It is the editor’s wish to provide a fresh impetus for the field of Byzantine epigraphy. Critical editions of inscriptions, their detailed interdisciplinary analysis, and research on their significance for Byzantine culture are still desiderata in our field. I should like to express my sincere gratitude to the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) for the publica- tion of this volume as well as to the Austrian National Fund (FWF) for funding the printing. Thanks are also due to the anonymous reviewers of this publication as well as to David Wright, Anneliese Paul, Denis Feissel and Carolina Cupane for the proofreading and to Ingrid Weichselbaum for editing the illustrations in Adobe InDesign.
