The Byzantine Journal (abbreviations BZ and ByzZ ) is one of the most important specialist publications in the field of Byzantine Studies . It was brought into being in 1892 by the founder of modern, scientific Byzantine studies, Karl Krumbacher , in the publishing house BG Teubner .
After Krumbacher's death, Paul Marc (1909 to 1927) and August Heisenberg (1910 to 1930) became editors, followed by Franz Dölger (1928 to 1963). In 1943 the publication of the magazine came to an end due to the war. The magazine had to be discontinued between 1914 and 1919. It has been published by the Munich publishing house CH Beck since 1950 . Dölger followed as editor Hans-Georg Beck (1964 to 1977), Friedrich Wilhelm Deichmann (1964 to 1980) and Herbert Hunger (1964 to 1980), finally Armin Hohlweg (1978 to 1990). From 1991 Peter Schreiner published the magazine, since 2004 Albrecht Berger . The Byzantine magazine has been published by KG Saur Verlag since 2001 , before switching to Walter de Gruyter in 2008 . The editorial team is based at the Institute for Byzantine Studies, Neo-Greek Studies and Byzantine Art History at the University of Munich . In 2007 the 100th volume of the magazine was published.
The Byzantine Journal is divided into three sections:
- Essays
- Reviews
- Bibliographic Notes, Communications, and Obituaries.
The Byzantine Magazine appears annually with four issues per volume. The magazine publishes texts on the entire spectrum of Byzantine Studies , from late antiquity to the aftermath of the Byzantine Empire , from philology to history and religious-historical studies to archaeological and art-historical topics.
The journal is supplemented by the Byzantine Archive series (since 1898) and the Supplementum bibliographicum , published in three volumes from 1994 to 1998 .
The Byzantine Journal, along with the Yearbook of Austrian Byzantine Studies and Byzantine Research, is one of the few periodicals in German-speaking countries in the field of Byzantine Studies .
