"Inter graecos latinissimus, inter latinos graecissimus" : Bessarion zwischen den Kulturen

Cardinal Bessarion is renowned for having bridged the frontier that existed between the Western world of Latin and the Eastern world of Greek.

The articles attempt to reconstruct the mechanisms of cultural integration and disintegration that marked the Early Modern Era.
