THE MANY FACES OF BYZANTINE PHILOSOPHY

Παρουσίαση

An international conference (London 2006), a scholarly workshop (Athens 2008), lots of email messages, meetings with the publishers, many hours of editorial work, all for the preparation of this volume. Nevertheless, this volume would not have come out without the generosity of the Norwegian Institute at Athens, and in particular without the support and patience of its director and colleague Prof. Panos Dimas. We thank him wholeheartedly.
We would also like to thank Prof. Sten Ebbesen whose constant encouragement and advice in our Byzantine endeavours has proved in this case, as throughout the years, invaluable. Finally, Elizabeth Fowden's careful corrections of our idiosyncratic use of English improved our texts considerably. We dedicate this volume to Sten's favourite author, the Anonymus, for all the pleasures he has given us. (From the publisher)
