Mesótes. At the Intersection of Textuality and Materiality

On May 25th, 2025, Christian Brockmann, Professor of Greek Studies at the University of Hamburg, reaches 65 years of age. His work mainly falls into the fields of Greek Philology, Palaeography, and Manuscript Studies, covering a variety of topics such as Philosophy (Aristotle and Plato), Comedy (Aristophanes), Medicine (Galen), and Lexicography (Etymologicum Gudianum). On the occasion of his 65th birthday, the editors of the volume want to honour him with a Festschrift including papers by his closest friends and colleagues dealing with dynamics of textual transmission, production, circulation, and conservation processes of written culture, from a material and a theoretical point of view.
