Summary/Abstract: Byzantology, as a field of research with a long tradition at the University of Belgrade, has almost always been presented to the public (but also academically) through the activities of a several male scholars – Dragutin Anastasijević, Georgije Ostrogorski, Božidar Ferjančić, Ivan Đurić and Ljubomir Maksimović. One prominent Byzantologist, however, is an exceptional female Byzantine classicist who has endowed generations of future Byzanthologists with her decades of dedicated work and great skills, heuristic talent and immense knowledge of Greek, who increasingly remains in the shadows, regardless of her academic oeuvre. Ninoslava Radošević (1943−2007) was also a world-renowned Byzantologist, and her “departure in silence”, as described in the introduction of the 45th volume of the journal Zbornik radova Vizantološkog instituta, should not be translated into her “survival in silence”, or sure oblivion in the history of Serbian Byzantology. This paper is dedicated to the life and work of Ninoslava Radošević, with particular emphasis on the gender aspect of the forgetting of scholars in the history of Serbian academia.
