On this occasion, distinguished scholars from different parts of Europe and the United States of America met in Vienna to honor the famous researcher and to discuss the afterlife of his academic work in the fields of international Byzantine Studies. Prof. Dr. Andreas Külzer collected several significant contributions of the conference in this volume, which could serve as a source of scientific inspiration especially for scholars working in the various parts of history, historical geography and fundamental research.
