Munitiz SJ was pre- pared by former, present, and future contributors to the Series Graeca of the Corpus Christianorum (CCSG), as a token of profound respect, appreciation, and admiration felt towards the eminent Byzantinist and cofounder of the CCSG. The volume has been produced especially in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Series foundation, in 1977. Over the last four decades, and under the leadership of successive di- rectors, the CCSG has successfully produced more than eighty volumes containing critical editions of unpublished or previously published Greek theological, religious, and spiritual texts that between them cov- er many centuries of Byzantine thought. In the process, the Series has proved ground-breaking for the ways in which it has approached Greek patristic and byzantine texts, for setting new scholarly standards in the field of textual criticism, and for adopting innovative editorial prac- tices and conventions that have been increasingly followed by scholars around the world. Our honorand has been actively involved with the Series Graeca since its inception, and has contributed significantly to the shaping of its iden- tity and the development of its life and work. The CCSG and its sister series, Corpus Christianorum in Translation (CCT) are proud to include a number of model volumes produced by Father Joseph Munitiz, namely Theognosti Thesaurus (CCSG, 5 [1979]), Nicephori Blemmydae Autobi- ographia sive curriculum vitae necnon epistula universalior (CCSG, 13 [1984]), and Anastasii Sinaitae Quaestiones et Responsiones (co-edited with † Marcel Richard, CCSG, 59 [2006]), all of which he subsequently annotated and translated: Nikephoros Blemmydes: A Partial Account (Spicilegium Sacrum Lovaniense. Études et documents, 48 [1988]), Ana- stasios of Sinai: Questions and Answers (CCT, 7 [2011]), and Theognos- tos: Treasury (CCT, 16 [2014]). Alongside these volumes, Father Muni- tiz has published extensively throughout his long career on Byzantine historical, autobiographical, theological, homiletical, catechetical, hagi- ographical, and spiritual literature, as well as on areas of palaeography. A substantial part of his work has also focused on St Ignatius of Loyola CHARALAMBOS DENDRINOS and the Society of Jesus. We refer readers to the bibliography for further details. Father Joseph Munitiz is a true scholar, an inspiring mentor, and an affectionate teacher. Always ready to listen, help, and advise, over the years he has guided, supported, and encouraged novices, students and fellow scholars, many of whom have become his devoted friends and disciples. Those who are fortunate to know him personally, as well as those who are acquainted with him through his work benefit greatly from his erudition and deep understanding of the Orthodox tradition and spirituality. His emphasis on detail, and his conviction that sound knowledge of both philology and palaeography are essential for young scholars who wish to acquire a thorough appreciation of Byzantine his- tory, literature, and culture was put to good use during his tutorials and seminars, including the postgraduate working seminar on editing Byzantine texts at Royal Holloway, University of London, which he co-founded in the 1980s and which has continued up to the present day. Given his unassuming nature we considered it more appropriate, in- stead of composing an extensive laudatio in his honour, to invite Father Joseph to write an autobiographical sketch, although we did not reveal our intention of including it in this Festschrift. He graciously accepted our invitation, and in his Autobiographical tesserae in this volume, he reflects on his life and work, and highlights important aspects that shaped his choices, interests, and career. By including Father Joseph’s own tesserae along with those represented by the essays of the contribu- tors to this volume, a rich and colourful mosaic is formed as a tribute to a leading Byzantinist who has greatly enriched our field with his schol- arship. It is with a deep sense of gratitude but also with some degree of nerv- ousness that the Institute of Palaeochristian and Byzantine Studies of the Catholic University of Louvain, in co-operation with the Hellenic In- stitute of Royal Holloway, University of London, presents this volume to Dr Joseph A. Munitiz: nervousness, because to offer a Festschrift to a scholar like Father Joseph is a demanding task and, as editors and con- tributors, we can only hope to have approached the high standards of Fa- ther Joseph’s own scholarly work; gratitude, for his major contribution to Byzantine Studies and for bringing greater understanding between the Greek East and the Latin West.  DEDICATION Bringing knowledge and greater understanding has also been a major goal of the editorial endeavour that is the CCSG. It is symbolized by the icon of the two clerical figures supporting the Church that adorns the front cover of each volume of the Corpus Christianorum. Hopefully, this Festschrift will bring us one small but appreciated step further towards that goal. Together with friends, readers, publishers, supporters, and contribu- tors, we wish the honorand and the Series Graeca, Εἰς ἔτη πολλά! 
