Additionally, transcriptionally related cell types were found in different brain regions. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">NATURE COMMUNICATIONS</span> (2022) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/26768483/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="articles_from_authors" class="tab-pane "> <div class="nodata my-4">No Data Available</div> </div> <div id="articles_from_journal" class="tab-pane "> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Medieval & Renaissance Studies </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83925638" class="text-dark hover-underline">Anna Komnene, the Kontostephanoi, and the Norman invasions of 1107 -1108 and 1147 - 1149</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Lucas McMahon</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> In the Alexiad, Anna Komnene speaks poorly of Isaakios Kontostephanos' actions during the second Norman invasion of the Balkans. This paper argues that Anna did so to blacken Isaakios' reputation and distance her father from a failed Italian invasion. Additionally, it is suggested that Anna wrote her history in response to the deposition of Patriarch Kosmas II Attikos and the Norman attack in 1147, as well as the Kontostephanos family's attempt to create a quasi-imperial image. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">BYZANTINISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT</span> (2024) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83925638/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Medieval & Renaissance Studies </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29079431" class="text-dark hover-underline">The uses of oaths in early Byzantine imperial politics: a reconsideration</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Michael Wuk</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article reexamines the frequent wearing of oaths in early Byzantine imperial politics. The act of swearing had value beyond enforcing obligations and could be used to accuse oath-breakers and stigmatize them. Swearing itself could facilitate political goals and highlight power dynamics. The strategic bending and breaking of pacts could render the maintenance or violation of oaths irrelevant. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">BYZANTINISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29079431/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Medieval & Renaissance Studies </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/28022287" class="text-dark hover-underline">The early history of the thema of the Boukellarioi (8th century)</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Christos Malatras</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This paper uses unpublished sigillographical materials to re-examine the establishment of the thema of the Boukellarioi and argues that it occurred earlier than the mid-8th century.

Despite their likely manufacture in Constantinople, their unique shape and decoration suggest a non-Roman origin. A similar silver object is identified as an example of this type of drinking bowl. The barbarian images on the bowls are identified as Avar, and are linked to the 626 Avar-Persian siege of Constantinople. By combining these vessels with other sources, the article sheds light on Byzantine cultural construction of the Avar and historical events in 7th-century Constantinople, demonstrating that analysis of material culture can provide new insights into Byzantine concepts of outsider ethnicities and collective identity. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">BYZANTINISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT</span> (2024) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83925523/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Medieval & Renaissance Studies </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29079429" class="text-dark hover-underline">The Hermoglyphos Pason and the enigma of a stone: Arist.

Regarding food, it is generally believed that Middle Byzantine urban settlements were not self-sufficient and relied on agricultural produce from their surrounding areas. This paper argues that some urban settlements may have had the potential to produce enough food to sustain themselves, prompting a reevaluation of the traditional interpretation. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">BYZANTINISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29079434/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Medieval & Renaissance Studies </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/83374914" class="text-dark hover-underline">An Egyptian pilgrim in Asia Minor: linguistic placing of a graffito from Hierapolis</a> </h4> <p class="text-ellipsis-2">Arkadiy Avdokhin</p> <div class="d-flex mb-3"> <div class="p-3 rounded" style="background-color: #e8f3ff;"> <strong>Summary:</strong> This article analyses the graffiti at the shrine of the apostle Philip at Hierapolis, Asia Minor, and reveals the Egyptian variety of the late Greek koine used in the inscription.

A specific set of images recurs throughout the work, tracing the overall structure of a unified poem: the 'Homeric Allegories'. These images can be found in key parts of the work, including the beginning of the Prolegomena to the Allegories of the Iliad, the introduction to the Allegories of the Odyssey, and the conclusion of the Allegories of the Odyssey. The images consist of references to Herodotus, stories of famous engineers, and sea imagery. They serve different purposes, with the sea representing the classical image of Homer as the ocean and the engineer symbolizing the writer. It is unclear whether Tzetzes planned the Homeric Allegories as a unitary work from the beginning, but the Allegories of the Odyssey were certainly written as a conclusion to the Allegories of the Iliad. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">BYZANTINISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT</span> (2023) </p> <div class="flex-shrink-0"> <a class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-sm" href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29079425/add-to-collection" target="_blank"> <strong>Add to Collection</strong> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="my-4 border-bottom"> <div> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-blue"> Article </span> <span class="d-inline-block badge badge-cyan"> Medieval & Renaissance Studies </span> </div> <h4> <a href="https://www.peeref.com/works/29079428" class="text-dark hover-underline">Of tortoise necks and dialects.

The poem is attributed to John Mauropous, but its prosodic accuracy is questionable. It is a long prayer dedicated to the guardian angel, inspired by Mauropous' own hymn. The metrical analysis shows that the poem conforms to the standards of Mauropodean dodecasyllables, with a high frequency of three-word dodecasyllables, C7 caesura, and syntactical-rhetorical fixed structures within the lines. </div> </div> <div class="d-flex justify-content-between"> <p class="font-weight-bold"> <span class="text-primary">BYZANTINISCHE ZEITSCHRIFT</span> (2023) </p> <div
