"The Archives of the Armenian Patriarchate in Jerusalem: Resituate the History of Miaphysite Christianities within the Islamicate World (13th-16th centuries)", Yerevan, Yerevan State University, 28-30 August 2024.
While each Church present in Jerusalem has been studied individually, no analysis of the interactions between the various Churches, nor with the sovereign powers, has yet been carried out. This shortcoming in a well-established field of research can partly be explained by the wide range of written languages involved. Yet the academic compartmentalization of Eastern Christian and Islamic studies may have been the major factor. The ERC project ChrIs-cross will address this issue through a Connected History approach and a re-evaluation of Hodgson’s concept of the ‘Islamicate world.’ The unpublished archives of the Christian institutions of Jerusalem, which consist exclusively of Islamic legal documents, make it possible to study the ways in which non-Muslims were integrated into the Islamic(ate) world. Among these, the archives of the Armenian Patriarchate are particularly rich in information, not only on the Armenian communities, but also on other Miaphysite communities, especially the Ethiopians and the Copts, making it possible to reconstruct the networks that linked them in the wider context of Ayyubid and Mamluk societies.
International Digital Conference – Orthodox and Latin Monasticism in the Eastern Mediterranean, 13th-16th c.

In the period following the Fourth Crusade, the monasteries of the Orthodox tradition adapted to the profoundly changed political and economic conditions, while Western Religious Orders spread in erstwhile Byzantine territories. Scholarship on Orthodox and Latin monasteries in the late medieval Eastern Mediterranean has been thriving in the last years. However, owing to the traditional division between East and West and the compartmentalisation of research, the two types of monastic establishments are usually studied in isolation from each other even though they co-existed in time and space, and scholars regularly encounter areas of contact and osmosis. The NHRF Conference seeks to move away from this trend and proposes a comprehensive and comparative examination of Eastern Mediterranean monasticism during the period all the way to the consolidation of Ottoman power in the Eastern Mediterranean.
