In this volume, 14 students of Slobodan Ćurčić present chapters on Byzantine
architecture, representing the wide variety of topics and approaches inspired
by his teaching and mentoring over the past four decades.1 Taken together, the
chapters provide a useful overview of the methodologies currently employed
in the study of Byzantine architecture, as well as revealing the broad range and
rich repertory of monuments. In this introduction, we attempt to situate the
contributions of Ćurčić and his students more broadly within the scholarship
on Byantine architecture of the last half century.
