"Symeon the Stylite and Syrian Monasticism" lecture at University of Oklahoma

The University of Oklahoma Department of Classics and Letters Lecture Series

Dina Boero (Princeton), Tuesday October 25
Boero holds a MA and PhD in Classics from the University of Southern California. Her research focuses saints and their cults in the late antique Near East, integrating literary, codicological, and archaeological sources. Her current book project, The Anatomy of a Cult, traces the history of Symeon the Stylite the Elder’s (d. 459) cult in the fifth and sixth centuries and by identifying the various transformations of veneration to Symeon, takes a step towards clarifying the origins of Syrian monasticism.
