Retracing Connections programme is looking for papers that relate to the Life of Theodore of Edessa, a complex hagiography made up of several stories, which was authored (or redacted) in Greek in the eleventh century to be quickly disseminated in Arabic, Georgian, and Slavonic. Although the story was composed in Byzantium, its “storyworld” was set in the Muslim empire and had in its imagination crossed imperial borders already before its many translations.
