Przemysław Marciniak is Professor of Byzantine Literature and Head of Center for Studies on Literature and the Reception of Byzantium at the University of Silesia. His research focuses on 12th century Byzantine literature, Byzantine performativity, Byzantine humour and the reception of Byzantine culture in the post-Byzantine period.
