The Byzantinisches Archiv ("Byzantine Archive"; shortened as ByzA or ByzArch) is an academic series of monographs concerned with various topics of Byzantine studies (archaeology, hagiography, history, literature, philology, etc.). It includes monographs, critical editions of Byzantine texts and sources, and miscellaneous volumes such as Festschriften.
Editorial History
The series was founded by Karl Krumbacher in 1898 as supplementary volumes to the academic journal Byzantinische Zeitschrift ("begründet ... als Ergänzung der Byzantinische Zeitschrift"), published "in irregular issues" ("in zwanglosen Heften") by B. G. Teubner Verlag in Leipzig (Vols. 1–4). Krumbacher served as general editor of both "Byzantinische Zeitschrift" and "Byzantinisches Archiv" until his death in 1909, at which point he was succeeded by August Heisenberg (editor, 1910–1931).
After a hiatus of almost 20 years during the Nazi regime in Germany and World War II, the series restarted with vol. 10 under the editorship of Franz Dölger (since 1931 Professor in Middle and Modern Greek Philology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and editor of the "Byzantinische Zeitschrift"), printed by C. H. Beck in Munich. He was succeeded by Hans-Georg Beck, Friedrich Deichmann and Herbert Hunger, editors of the "Byzantinische Zeitschrift" since 1964, from Vol. 11 to Vol. 15.
Armin Hohweg served as editor of Vol. 16 and was succeeded by Peter Schreiner (Vols. 17–19, 1997–2000), under whose editorship both the journal and the series returned to B. G. Teubner Verlag. With the Teubner firm being purchased by Water de Gruyter GmbH, the series also entered the latter editor's catalogue.
Albrecht Berger, general editor of the "Byzantinische Zeitschrift" from 2004 to 2024, served as the editor of "Byzantinisches Archive" Vols. 20–32 and 34–45.See the headings of volumes concerned; Vol. 33 appeared delayed under Zachary Chitwood's editorship. Under his editorship, two subseries ("Byzantinisches Archiv — Series Medica", edited by Sergej Mariev; and "Byzantinisches Archiv — Series Philosophica", edited by Berger and Isabel Grimm-Stadelmann) were also launched.
Since 2025, the "Byzantinische Zeitschrift" and its related series are edited by Zachary Chitwood.
