Isaac Komnenos Porphyrogennetos

Walking the Line in Twelfth-Century Byzantium

Herausgeber: Lovato, Valeria Flavia

Beschreibung

Modern scholars have so far failed to see the interplay between Isaac's multiple personae. Isaac the scholar is rarely brought into conversation with Isaac the usurper, Isaac the patron, or Isaac the world traveller.

Valeria Flavia Lovato is a Research Fellow at the Center for Classical Studies of the University of Lisbon. After receiving her Ph.D. from the Universities of Turin and Lausanne, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern Denmark, where she focused on Isaac Komnenos Porphyrogennetos, and at the University of Geneva. Her current book projects include a monograph on Odysseus in twelfth-century Byzantium and, in collaboration with Silvio Bär, the first English translation of John Tzetzes' Little Big Iliad. Her other publications deal with various aspects of Komnenian literature, with a focus on Homeric scholarship and practices of authorial self-fashioning.
