Pirtea (Austrian Academy of Sciences) will be speaking about the topic "Recovering Syro-Chalcedonian Historical Memory: The Maronite Chronicle of 713 and its Manuscript Transmission" (Wednesday, 26 November 2025, 6:15 CET).

This fall speakers discuss diverse topics, including the story of the Yiddish book collection assembled by Betsalel Frenkel, the circulation of pamphlets on theological doctrine in Northwest Africa, a Maronite chronicle dating to 713 and its manuscript transmission, and medieval culinary manuscripts.
