The medieval exegetical tradition that coalesced around the text of Hermogenes developed like a forest of interconnected trees, branching out and growing on each other out of a solid foundation - not unlike the tree of staseis opening so many manuscripts of the Corpus. We have the ambition to structure our projects in a similar way: they each grew and fed on one another, creating little by little a map to find a path through the forest. While each project or task can be appreciated in and for itself, they all have contributed to creating a robust research network.
