Byzance dans le Cône Sud au temps du Premier Congrès international des études byzantines
Byzantium in the Southern Cone at the Time of the First International Congress of Byzantine Studies

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the presence of Byzantium in the cultural and artistic life of Buenos Aires from the late nineteenth century to the early interwar period, and traces the beginnings of an academic tradition fostered by the efforts of Clemente Ricci and the visit of Charles Diehl following the Bucharest Congress of 1924. That same year, Diehl delivered several lectures at the University of Buenos Aires and at the National Museum of Fine Arts. His visit contributed to the creation of the first research centre for ancient and medieval history (including Byzantium) at the University of Buenos Aires.
