The second phase began in October 2024 and is expected to end in September 2025 . It entails the creation of a detailed GIS database, published via this presentation website, and the publication of a monograph analyzing the above-mentioned evidence regarding the topography and the manuscripts. The project is being conducted at the department of East European History of the Historical Seminar of Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. The research is also part of the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus Mainz-Frankfurt “Byzanz zwischen Orient und Okzident”, a collaborative effort between the Leibniz Zentrum für Archäologie in Mainz, JGU-Mainz, the Institut für Europäische Geschichte in Mainz, and Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt. Hosting of the database and of the presentation website, long-term archiving, as well as the appropriate technical support is provided by the Austrian Center for Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage (ACDH-CH) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Vienna), the developer of the specialized software OpenAtlas. -## Events and Publications +## Publications * Nicholas Melvani, “Approaching Orthodox sacred space in Ottoman Istanbul: the wanderings of Protestant Humanists through the Byzantine monuments of Constantinople”, *Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai – Theologia Orthodoxa* 68 (2023), 47-78 (). -* Fener after Byzantium: a maritime neighborhood of Istanbul from the mid-17th to the 18th century (Conference: “Phanariot Materialities: Aspects of Domestic Architecture, Urban Culture, and Social Mobility”, Istanbul, 29-30 June 2024). -* From Istanbul to Central Europe: Byzantine Books between Three Empires (Workshop: “Post-Conquest Materiality: Objects in the Histories of the Ottoman and Spanish Expansions”, Mainz, 12-13 May 2023). -* Byzantine Constantinople and Habsburg Global Aspirations: The Reception of the Roman Imperial Heritage in Ottoman Istanbul by Scholars from the Holy Roman Empire (Conference: “Byzanz an frühneuzeitlichen Höfen.
