Summary
A comprehensive analysis of the Monasteries of Daphni, Hosios Loukas, and Nea Moni of Chios reveals significant insights into Byzantine architectural, literary, and historical practices. The study explores the spatial dynamics of the Konstantinsmauer between Marmarameer and Bonoszisterne, examining its gates and streets to understand urban planning in late antiquity. It also delves into the dedicatory verses for the Sacred Arsenal by Andronikos Kamateros, found in the Codex Marcianus Graecus 524, providing new perspectives on Byzantine administrative and religious documentation. Additionally, the research investigates the evolution of the term 'Turk' in Byzantine texts, shedding light on linguistic mechanisms that shaped contemporary meanings. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating epigraphic analysis, literary criticism, and historical chronology to reconstruct the cultural and political landscape of late Byzantium.
