Professor Emeritus Werner G. Jeanrond will receive an honorary doctorate from Regis College at the University of Toronto in November. "This came as a great surprise," Jeanrond says.
For the next academic year, Ivan Miroshnikov will be joining the Faculty as a visiting researcher on the APOCRYPHA-project. “Professor Hugo Lundhaug has gathered a wonderful team of young Coptologists, and I am very excited to work in such a pleasant and stimulating environment,” Miroshnikov says.
Earlier this month we welcomed Aleksandr Andreev to the Faculty of Theology. In his PhD project, Andreev will study the manuscripts of the Horologion – a book used for daily worship in the Orthodox Church.
For the first time, two UiO projects within the humanities have received financing via the ERC Proof of Concept Grant. The project “Tool for the Analysis of Information Transfer in Manuscript Cultures” will develop a new digital tool.
