John
Wortley PhD, DD International Fellow QUB |
 |
||||
 |
John
Wortley is professor emeritus of medieval history at the university of
Manitoba (Canada), where he taught Byzantine studies for over thirty
years. John was a recent Leverhulme visiting professor at QUB and a
visiting fellow in the Hellenic Institute at Princeton University. Best
known for his work on Byzantine 'beneficial tales' (alias 'the folklore of
the desert') he is just completing, in cooperation with his colleagues in
Paris, an annotated translation of the Synopsis of Histories by the
eleventh-century Greek historian, John Scylitzes. For some years he has
also been studying the role of relics in Byzantine culture, more
specifically the stages by which the enormous relic-hoard of
Constantinople was assembled prior to its diffusion after 1204. He intends
to develop and to lecture on this aspect of his work while in Belfast. As
an Anglican priest heavily committed to oecumenism
