        Abstract
        This volume presents the results of a scholarly meeting which focused on the patronage of women in the Byzantine Empire. In their scope, the articles address broadly not only the founding or re-founding of churches and monasteries, but also their rich decoration, as well as numerous smaller donations. In spite of increased attention to gender research in recent years, a comparative treatment of the legal and economic potentiel that women in Byzantium could exercise in order to exert independent influence has been lacking; thus a gender-specific viewpoint for the volume was intentionally chosen.
         
        Der Patronage von Frauen im byzantisischen Reich war eine Tagung gewidmet, deren Erkenntnisse hiermit vorgelegt werden. Die Beiträge umfassen den gesamten Berich der neuen oder erneuerten Gründung und Stiftung von Kirchen und Klöstern, aber auch deren reiche Ausstattung, sowie zahlreichere kleine Stiftungen. Die Betrachtung erfolgte bewusst aus geschlechterspezifischer Perspektive, da trotz vermehrter Genderforschung der vergangenen Jahre bisher der vergleichende Blick auf die Frage nach dem rechtlichen und ökonomischen Potential fehlt, welches Frauen in Byzanz einsetzen konnten, um eigenständigen Einfluss auszuüben.
