Association Internationale des Études Byzantines

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Association Internationale des Études Byzantines (abbreviated: AIEB ; English : International Byzantine Association ; Greek : Διεθνής Ένωση Βυζαντινών Σπουδών ) is an international association of Byzantine scholarly societies founded in 1948 to promote Byzantine scholarly research in Paris.

Membership and Purpose

The members of the AIEB are: 1. the Comités Nationaux , the national societies for Byzantine Studies, from whose midst the executive body of the AIEB, the Bureau International , is elected; 2. the members of the Bureau International ; as well as 3. institutions and natural persons who support Byzantine research, especially financially.

The purpose of the AIEB is to promote Byzantine research in all respects. Since their subject, the Byzantine Empire as a political, cultural and religious-spiritual entity of late antiquity and the Middle Ages, is defined by temporal, spatial, linguistic, political and possibly ideological boundaries and not by boundaries between scientific disciplines, the affiliated national societies represent historians and epigraphist , art historian , Ikonologen and Christian archaeologists , literature - and linguist , philosopher and historian of philosophy , theologians and church historians , science - and medical historians and other disciplines and research directions. The main task is to organize regular international congresses every five years. In order to organize this, the Bureau International and the representatives of the Comités Nationaux hold regular interim congresses, at which in particular the thematic orientation of the international congresses is discussed, as well as other smaller colloquia and events. At the suggestion of Dionysios Zakythinos , who was supported by the founding president Paul Lemerle , the AIEB has been issuing a Bulletin d'information et de coordination since 1964, which provides information about new publications, work in preparation and research programs of individuals and groups in the field of Byzantine Studies can be found on the AIEB website, where further information can be found on the current activities of the national societies, new publications, congresses and colloquia. In addition, the AIEB is also involved in special projects such as the publication of the Corpus Fontium Historiae Byzantinae or forms commissions on special topics such as the history of Byzantine art .

The AIEB is part of the Comité International des Sciences Historiques (CISH) and the Fédération Internationale des Associations d'Études Classiques (FIEC).

history

The foundation of the AIEB originally goes back to the Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga , who at the 5th International Congress of the Historical Sciences ( Ve Congrès International des Sciences Historiques ) in April 1921 in Brussels proposed a special section for Byzantine Studies, devoted to Byzantine Studies To organize congress. Within a year, the first congress was then held in Bucharest with 60 participants from twelve countries. It was widely acclaimed, especially by eminent scholars such as Charles Diehl , Gabriel Millet , Henri Grégoire , Henri Pirenne , Nikodim Pavlovich Kondakow and William Mitchell Ramsay . From then on, apart from the interruption caused by the Second World War, congresses were held every three years, and from 1961 onwards every five years. It was important to the organizers from the very beginning to allow the congresses to take place throughout the geographical area of ​​the Byzantine Empire and its area of ​​influence. The fact that the first four congresses took place in the capitals of the Balkans shows that the various nations of the Balkans had a special interest in the historical situation after the First World War , and that by referring to Byzantium, they also had their own identity and to affirm their role in the political situation. On the side of the great European nation states England, France, Germany and Russia, contemporary historicism and an idea of ​​the cultural, political and spiritual-religious togetherness of the nations of Europe stand in the background of both the establishment of Byzantine Studies as a scientific discipline and the foundation of the AIEB . In 1886, the Russian Byzantinist Fyodor Ivanovich Uspensky proposed the creation of an international society and the publication of a philological journal for Byzantine studies.

Just as the Comité International des Sciences Historiques was founded in 1926 only a quarter of a century after the first congress of the historical sciences (1900) after long and difficult negotiations, several congresses for Byzantine studies were needed before the AIEB was founded. It is true that Franz Dölger proposed in the final session of the 4th Congress in Sofia (1934) that a standing committee be set up to implement the resolutions passed by the Congress. However, due to the Second World War, the AIEB was finally founded at the 6th and 7th International Congress for Byzantine Studies in Paris and Brussels in July and August 1948, respectively. The founding statutes were modified in 1961 and the current version was adopted by the general assembly of the 21st International Congress on August 22, 2006 in London revised again.
