Speros Vryonis, Jr., was one of the most eminent Byzantinists of his generation. After a distinguished career at UCLA, he became the founding director of the Alexander S. Onassis Center for Hellenic Studies at New York University, from which he retired as Alexander S. Onassis Professor of Hellenic Civilization Emeritus. Dr. Vryonis's extensive work on the history and culture of the Greeks from Homer to the present, and on their relations with the Slavic, Islamic, and New Worlds, includes the seminal The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century; Byzantium and Europe; Studies on Byzantium, Seljuks and Ottomans; Byzantium: Its Internal History and Relations with the Islamic World; and Studies in Byzantine Institutions and Society. He also edited, among other volumes, Aspects of the Balkans: Continuity and Change (with Henrik Birnbaum); Essays on the Slavic World and the Eleventh Century; Islam and Cultural Change in the Middle Ages; Individualism and Conformity in Classical Islam (with Amin Banani); and Islam's Understanding of Itself (with Richard G. Hovannisian). A graduate of Harvard University (Ph.D., 1956), Dr. Vryonis was a Guggenheim Fellow and Fulbright Scholar as well as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the Medieval Academy of America. Toward the end of his life he directed the Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism. Speros Vryonis died March 11, 2019 in Sacramento California at the age of 90. | |
