Byzantinoslavica

A leading international Byzantine periodical. It was founded in 1929 as the publication organ of the newly established Byzantological Commission at the Slavic Institute in Prague (it began its activities a year earlier). The original focus of the periodical was in the field of Paleo-Slavic studies and Byzantine-Slavic cultural relations, but as part of the post-war revival of Byzantinoslavica as a journal with international ambitions, its focus was fundamentally broadened to include the general history of the Byzantine Empire. The change of its subtitle from the original Proceedings for the Study of Byzantine-Slavic Relations to Revue internationale des études byzantines corresponded to the new ideological concept of the periodical. After the abolition of the SLÚ in 1963, the publisher of ByzSlav was first the Institute of History of European Socialist Countries of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, and starting from the 1970 edition, the Cabinet for Greek, Roman and Latin Studies; in 1992, the renewed SLÚ took over the publication of the periodical again. After a three-year hiatus in publishing at the turn of the millennium, the previous biannual periodicity was reduced to one double issue per year. The editors of the magazine were successively Miloš Weingart (1929–1938), Bohuslav Havránek (1946–1958, 1969–1974), Milada Paulová (1946–1953), Nikolaj Lvovič Okuněv (1946–1948), Antonín Dostál (1953–1968), Bohumila Zástěrová (1975–1987), František Hejl (1988–1989), Vladimír Vavřínek (1990–1999), Pavel Milko (2003–2010), Lubomíra Havlíková (2003–2014) and Petra Melichar (since 2015). Between 1932 and 1994, a significant part of the journal's content was a bibliography devoted to the latest Byzantological works. 

The journal sometimes publishes materials on numismatics, sphragistics and related sciences in the context of the Byzantine world.
