A Note on the Codex Angus and its Use
The Codex Angus (Add. MS 40 in the University of Sydney Library's Rare Books and Special Collections) is a Byzantine Gospel lectionary meant for liturgical use. The findings presented here corroborate this catalogue description. There is ample evidence of its heavy use, which indicates a public not a private setting. After a brief description of the manuscript, particularities of its content and appearance are discussed, all of which point to a s…
Astral Iconography and the Byzantine Study of the Heavens
Byzantine astral iconography developed from early Christian and ancient visual culture, with the latter undergoing a profound process of “Christianisation.” In turn, the early Christian fascination with stellar imagery went through stages of transformation prompted by various factors. Among these, the influence of neighbouring cultures and the widespread interest in astrology are solidly researched. But recent studies of Byzantine science, includ…
Scientific Interests and Technological Innovation in Byzantium: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
This editorial begins by surveying the status of Byzantine science and technology as a field integral to the history of science as an academic discipline. After addressing the marginalization of Byzantine science and technology until quite recently, the editorial then proceeds to show that the origins of this field are not recent. Building on the trailblazers of the early twentieth century, a plethora of scholars have already contributed to the e…
The Cosmology of David Bohm: Scientific and Theological Significance
We discuss David Bohm’s dual contributions as a physicist and thinker. First, de Grijs introduces Bohm’s universe, with an emphasis on the physical quest that led Bohm to the elaboration of an original cosmology at the nexus of science and philosophy. Next, Costache takes his cue from de Grijs’ explorations by highlighting the affinity between Bohm’s scientific cosmology and patristic ideas that are central to the Orthodox worldview. It is our ho…
Transitions in Patristic Cosmology: From Cosmophobia to Universe-(Re)Making
The field of Patristics, or early Christian and Mediaeval Studies, traditionally works along the lines of historical and literary criticism. But this method is not always useful, especially when it comes to complex objects and circumstances. No wonder the current trend of replacing it, more often than not, by interdisciplinary frameworks. The article begins accordingly by reviewing three interdisciplinary frameworks, namely, the "socio-historical…

Orthodoxy and Science: Insights from the Holy and Great Council
The Orthodox Church is uneasy about contemporary science. What causes its uneasiness is not exclusively its slow reception of modern culture. An important cause is the fact that contemporary research sidelines ethical and spiritual criteria. The practical application of scientific discoveries in the area of biotechnologies provides abundant evidence for this. That said, progress is being made in regard to the Orthodox appraisal of modern culture …
