Oxford Byzantine Studies

Oxford Byzantine Studies is an academic program at the University of Oxford dedicated to exploring the history, culture, art, and society of the Byzantine Empire (roughly 330–1453 AD). It involves research, teaching, and publications that deepen understanding of this influential period, which was a bridge between the ancient and medieval worlds. The center brings together scholars from diverse disciplines, fostering insights into Byzantine innovations, religious developments, and connections with neighboring regions, thereby enriching knowledge of a civilization that significantly shaped European and Middle Eastern history.
