BYZANTINE & MEDIEVAL LINKS
INDEX
Notice: until this list is updated, please
use www.netserf.org
[March 2001: this list is now quite out dated. Many
links are dead, and there are hundreds of of additional resources
around. Manual maintence of this list long ago became unfeasible. I do
intend to update it, once I have located good links management
software.]
This page attempts to track ALL Byzantine material on
the Internet, and ALL significant entry points for Medieval studies. Ancient
and Classical links, except insofar as they impinge directly on Byzantine
and Western Medieval matters, should be sought out via the direct links
provided to ARGOS associates which track and maintain sites devoted to the
Ancient world.
Since this page was begun, the Medieval and Byzantine
Internet has exploded in size. As a result, although I will take
suggestions, I will no longer add the following materials:
- Syllabi for courses, unless the page contains additional material -
texts, graphics, lecture notes.
- History Department sites, unless the page contains additional
material - texts, graphics (etc.)
- Sites at geocities, or any other free web site which forcibly opens
pop up windows.
- AOL sites, which seem to last just a few weeks on average.
- Sites which do not look to be stable: e.g. temporary exhbition
pages.
- Sites for individual Orthodox or Easter Catholic churches, unless
the page contains additional material (see above).
- Gopher sites. Gopher is dead.

The structure of this set of World Wide Web Links is as follows. You
can browse through the entire list, or jump directly to the part that interests
you by selecting the underlined links.
Here are links to the best "wide area" search engines on the Web. The Web is
so vast now that it contains more, and more diverse information, than any single
printed source. This availability of information will only increase.
To use the Web efficiently, the various search engines are essential.
Yahoo is best, I think, if you are looking for specialized websites.
Lycos, Excite, and Hotbot all index many more documents. These engines will
always turn up more references, but far more will be dross than with Yahoo. It
is useful to start with Yahoo since it has a nice feature - once it tells
you everything that it has found, it will automatically plug you in to the other
search engines.
It is important to form your query words as clearly as possible. For
instance, if you are interested in finding information on a particular musician,
do not search for "music", but for a style [eg "jazz" or "gregorian chant"] or
even a name ["abba", "charlie parker", "hildegard"].
As the WWW has grown these wide area engines have become more difficult to
use. Searching for "Plato" for instance, will return more "hits" than one could
possibly read in a lifetime. For this reason it is best to start searches for
Byzantine and Medieval subjects with the "limited area" ARGOS search engine.

- The
Constantinople Project Over the past several years, Professor Ahmet
Cakmak, of Princeton University's Department of Civil Engineering and
Operations Research has undertaken the structural analysis, under
earthquake loads, of the Hagia Sophia, the major church built by the
Emperor Justinian during the 6th century AD. Professor Cakmak sought to
determine the susceptibility of the structure, specifically its large
dome and arches, to collapse due to the earthquakes that often strike
that part of the world. As an extension of that work into the
architectural realm, he recently offered a class which studied Byzantine
structures from a structural and art-historical perspective. One of the
goals set forth in the class was for students to construct
three-dimensional models of specific Byzantine structures utilizing the
computer drafting software AutoCAD. This was the first step towards a
long term goal of creating a full model of the topography of ancient
Constantinople, with models of many Byzantine buildings in place.

Watermarks and Papers in Greek Manuscripts This developing site
consists of the guide (html texts) and 3 major components: an archive
images & prints of watermarks (from Greek manuscripts), a database of
paper descriptions, and a bibliographical database. It is both a
research tool and a mode of publishing information on papers in a
centrally accessible way, and much more. The database interface is not
yet functional, but the rest is, and there's a lot to think about there
relevant to the methodological issues about use of evidence from paper
to identify scribes and centers of book production. Part of it (the
bibliographical database) is mostly just a shell at the moment, but you
can see how it will work once our database interface is done.

- St.
Catherine's Monastery, Mt. Sinai St. Catherine's Monastery located in
Sinai at the foot of Mount Moses (Mt. Sinai) is a true jewel of Christian
heritage. Founded around 527, it is the oldest fully functioning monastery
in the world. Yet, because of its isolation, fortification and specific
protection granted by the Prophet Mohammed, it remains original and
pristine. Its powerful setting seems a natural home for the many rare
Christian icons which it houses, including a collection of original
illuminated manuscripts second only to the Vatican. Within, one will find
the chapel of the Burning Bush, which is believed to be built atop the
famous burning bush of Moses, but most Christians have never even seen the
monastery s exterior, and interior views are almost non-existent. Egypt s
Ministry of Tourism has expanded these pages so that we can now have a first
look into this fascinating Christian setting. It is worth a visit. Go to
antiquities and then monuments, or to destinations and then Sinai to find
the St. Catherine pages.
