Doukaton and Greek-orthodox patriarchate of Antiochin the middle Byzantine period (969-1084)

我的专著主题是969-1084年间基利家和叙利亚北部的政治、行政和教会历史。在此期间，基利西亚和北叙利亚再次成为拜占庭帝国的一部分。该地区被组织为一个军事政府（希腊语doukaton）。通过详细分析希腊语、叙利亚语、阿拉伯语和亚美尼亚语的文学资料以及象形文字来源材料，尽管当代文献丢失，但我们不仅可以重建安提阿军事总督（希腊语doukes或katepanki）的表面学，还可以重建该地区的军事组织和民政管理。我发现，直到大约1050年，安提阿的军事政府是拜占庭帝国最重要的，有时有大约2万名士兵保卫。只有在帝国其他省份担任过军事总督或中央军队（希腊语tagmata）的指挥官，并与在位的皇帝有特殊关系的人才被派去管理安提阿和指挥武装部队。拜占庭军队重新征服安提阿后，这座城市的希腊东正教牧首被重新纳入拜占庭帝国的东正教会。为了重建970年至1100年间安提阿希腊东正教宗主教的历史，重组宗主教的行政结构以及安提阿大教堂和教堂的历史，使用了最重要的当代来源，即黑山僧侣尼康的Taktikon的第一个完整版本（由Christian Hannick于2014年出版）。第七章关注的是拜占庭叙利亚境内的希腊东正教宗主教区安提阿的教会行省，但也涉及位于拜占庭帝国政治边界之外的格鲁吉亚和西亚和中亚的天主教和教会行省。在我的研究中，他们的历史被重建和分析，就像安提阿宗主教区的教会行省的修道院历史一样。

Subject of my monograph is the political, administrative and ecclesiastical history of Cilicia and Northern Syria in the years 969-1084. During this period Cilicia and Northern Syria were again part of the Byzantine Empire. The region was organized as a military government (in Greek doukaton). By a detailed analyse of the literary sources in Greek, Syriac, Arabic and Armenian and the sigillographic source material it was possible despite the loss of contemporary documents to reconstruct not only the prosopography of the military governors (in Greek doukes or katepanō) of Antioch, but also the military organization and the civil administration of the region. I found that until ca. 1050 the military government of Antioch was the most important of the Byzantine empire, at times defended by ca. 20.000 soldiers. Only persons with experience as military governors in other provinces of the empire or as commanders of units of the central army (in Greek tagmata) and in special relationship with the reigning emperors were sent to administer Antioch and to command the armed forces. After the reconquest of Antioch by Byzantine forces the Greek-orthodox patriarchate of the city was reintegrated in the Orthodox Church of the Byzantine Empire. For the reconstruction of the history of the Greek-orthodox patriarchs of Antioch between 970 and 1100, of the reorganisation of the administrative structure of the patriarchate and the history of the cathedral and the churches of Antioch the first complete edition of the Taktikon of the monk Nicon of the Black Mountain (published in 2014 by Christian Hannick), the most important contemporary source, was utilized. Chapter 7 is concerned with the ecclesiastical provinces of the Greek-orthodox patriarchate of Antioch within Byzantine Syria, but also with the catholicata and ecclesiastical provinces located beyond the political frontiers of the Byzantine Empire in Georgia and in Western and Central Asia. In my study their history was reconstructed and analysed likewise as the history of the monasteries in the ecclesiastical provinces of the patriarchate of Antioch.
