The Mary Jaharis Center is pleased to announce the next lecture in our 2024–2025 lecture series: Inscribing Sacred Matter: Reading and Writing Inscriptions on Byzantine Relics. In this lecture, Brad Hostetler, Kenyon College, will examine the role of inscriptions in the identification and veneration of relics. He will bring together literary and material sources that speak to the act of reading and writing inscriptions in situ, focusing on those that were attached to relics and reliquaries. He will argue that inscriptions were an essential component to the identification and veneration of sacred matter.
December 5, 2024 | Zoom | 12:00–1:30 pm (Eastern Standard Time, UTC -5)
