Exile represented a complex phenomenon in the secular as well as the ecclesiastical sphere throughout the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. This colloquium will focus on exile across all of its dimensions, from literary texts to less well-explored historical documents, with a particular attention to the juridical field, which involved a close interaction of religious and political power. It will include speakers focusing on the medieval west to Byzantium, and examining exile from multiple perspectives, with time for questions and discussion.
Tea and coffee will be provided.
