BYZANTINE & MEDIEVAL LINKS INDEX
Notice: until this list is updated, please use www.netserf.org
[March 2001: this list is now quite out dated. Many links are dead, and
there are hundreds of of additional resources around. Manual maintence of this list long
ago became unfeasible. I do intend to update it, once I have located good links management
software.]
This page attempts to track ALL Byzantine material on the Internet,
and ALL significant entry points for Medieval studies. Ancient and Classical links, except
insofar as they impinge directly on Byzantine and Western Medieval matters, should be
sought out via the direct links provided to ARGOS associates which track and
maintain sites devoted to the Ancient world.
Since this page was begun, the Medieval and Byzantine Internet has
exploded in size. As a result, although I will take suggestions, I will no longer add the
following materials:
- Syllabi for courses, unless the page contains additional material - texts, graphics,
lecture notes.
- History Department sites, unless the page contains additional material - texts, graphics
(etc.)
- Sites at geocities, or any other free web site which forcibly opens pop up windows.
- AOL sites, which seem to last just a few weeks on average.
- Sites which do not look to be stable: e.g. temporary exhbition pages.
- Sites for individual Orthodox or Easter Catholic churches, unless the page contains
additional material (see above).
- Gopher sites. Gopher is dead.

here now, check the Dead Links Page!

The structure of this set of World Wide Web Links is as follows. You can browse
through the entire list, or jump directly to the part that interests you by selecting the
underlined links.
Here are links to the best "wide area" search engines on the Web. The Web is
so vast now that it contains more, and more diverse information, than any single printed
source. This availability of information will only increase.
To use the Web efficiently, the various search engines are essential. Yahoo is
best, I think, if you are looking for specialized websites. Lycos, Excite, and Hotbot all
index many more documents. These engines will always turn up more references, but far more
will be dross than with Yahoo. It is useful to start with Yahoo since it has a nice
feature - once it tells you everything that it has found, it will automatically plug you
in to the other search engines.
It is important to form your query words as clearly as possible. For instance, if you
are interested in finding information on a particular musician, do not search for
"music", but for a style [eg "jazz" or "gregorian chant"] or
even a name ["abba", "charlie parker", "hildegard"].
As the WWW has grown these wide area engines have become more difficult to use.
Searching for "Plato" for instance, will return more "hits" than one
could possibly read in a lifetime. For this reason it is best to start searches for
Byzantine and Medieval subjects with the "limited area" ARGOS search engine.

- The Constantinople Project
Over the past several years, Professor Ahmet Cakmak, of Princeton University's Department
of Civil Engineering and Operations Research has undertaken the structural analysis, under
earthquake loads, of the Hagia Sophia, the major church built by the Emperor Justinian
during the 6th century AD. Professor Cakmak sought to determine the susceptibility of the
structure, specifically its large dome and arches, to collapse due to the earthquakes that
often strike that part of the world. As an extension of that work into the architectural
realm, he recently offered a class which studied Byzantine structures from a structural
and art-historical perspective. One of the goals set forth in the class was for students
to construct three-dimensional models of specific Byzantine structures utilizing the
computer drafting software AutoCAD. This was the first step towards a long term goal of
creating a full model of the topography of ancient Constantinople, with models of many
Byzantine buildings in place.

and a mode of publishing information on papers in a centrally accessible way, and much
more. The database interface is not yet functional, but the rest is, and there's a lot to
think about there relevant to the methodological issues about use of evidence from paper
to identify scribes and centers of book production. Part of it (the bibliographical
database) is mostly just a shell at the moment, but you can see how it will work once our
database interface is done.

- St. Catherine's
Monastery, Mt. Sinai St. Catherine's Monastery located in Sinai at the foot of Mount
Moses (Mt. Sinai) is a true jewel of Christian heritage. Founded around 527, it is the
oldest fully functioning monastery in the world. Yet, because of its isolation,
fortification and specific protection granted by the Prophet Mohammed, it remains original
and pristine. Its powerful setting seems a natural home for the many rare Christian icons
which it houses, including a collection of original illuminated manuscripts second only to
the Vatican. Within, one will find the chapel of the Burning Bush, which is believed to be
built atop the famous burning bush of Moses, but most Christians have never even seen the
monastery s exterior, and interior views are almost non-existent. Egypt s Ministry of
Tourism has expanded these pages so that we can now have a first look into this
fascinating Christian setting. It is worth a visit. Go to antiquities and then monuments,
or to destinations and then Sinai to find the St. Catherine pages.

Maps in a new on-line atlas use the latest technology -- animation and pull-down menus --
to help show how nations have been settled and how empires have risen and collapsed. The
atlas offers more than 50 maps -- about half of them interactive -- and is divided into
two sections. A group of maps of North America focuses on important themes in 18th- and
19th-century U.S. history, such as territorial expansion and slavery. A section on Europe
explores trade routes, political change, urbanization, and the distribution of natural
resources. Also on the site are maps of North Africa and the Middle East. Users can follow
the expansion of Macedonia under Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great, in the fourth
century B.C.; compare migration routes of the Vandals, Franks, Huns, Saxons, and Visigoths
during the time of the Roman Empire's disintegration; and examine changes in
slave-population density in 19th-century America. To see the interactive maps, users must
have free Shockwave software installed on their computers and must have computers that can
handle graphics.
