Following the warm reception of the Assemani Seminar in the first half of 2022, we launch another season, this time focused on East Central Europe. In the ten sessions of this series, scholars specialised in different periods and regions will discuss the history of various Eastern Catholic communities from the early modern period until the twentieth century.
