The course is intended for MA, ResMA and doctoral students in the areas of Classics, Ancient History, Ancient Civilizations and Medieval studies with a good command of Greek. It offers a chronological introduction into Greek palaeography from the Hellenistic period until the end of the Middle Ages and is specifically aimed at acquiring practical skills for research involving literary and documentary papyri and/or manuscripts.

Set against the relevant historical and socio-cultural context of the 11th century, I analyse an unpublished didactic poem of Niketas of Herakleia. In doing so, I am striving to create the first step towards the compilation of primary and secondary characteristics of didactic poetry in the 11th and 12th century, in the hopes of better understanding these texts both on their own and in relation to similar texts.
