Volume 60 of this annual journal explores a range of Byzantine subjects: the classification of stamping objects (including six previously unpublished metal stamps), the date and purpose of the construction of Constantinople's church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, the Coptic Church's literary construction of its identity in post-conquest Egypt, the evidence for the tenth-century revision of the so-called "Chronicle of 811", an unusual development in the iconography of St. Menas, and versions of Niketas Choniates' "History."Also included are editions and translations of Byzantine Communion prayers newly discovered in Massachusetts and two funerary epigrams written by Manuel Philes, both articles include commentary. The volume concludes with reports from 2003 and 2004 on Dumbarton Oaks-supported archaeological fieldwork projects on a church in Bizye and an aristocratic rock-cut Byzantine settlement in Cappadocia.
