- Hell in the Byzantine World is the two-volume published outcome of the Leverhulme-funded International Networks project ‘Damned in Hell’, for which Angeliki Lymberopoulou acted as Principal Investigator. The project, which was initiated by Lymberopoulou, focused on the representation of hell in the Byzantine churches of Venetian-occupied Crete. She personally undertook extensive field research, which included identifying, locating and cataloguing the hell scenes in Cretan churches, the majority of which are located in remote and inaccessible areas and, for this reason, have not previously been published. The two volumes resulting from this project include substantial contributions by Lymberopoulou. She contributed an essay (c.32,000 words) and co-wrote the introduction (c.8000 words) to Volume 1, which consists of nine essays by different contributors exploring the Cretan context and representations of hell in the Byzantine world more generally. She co-authored Volume 2 (50% of c.130,000 words), which consists of a catalogue offering for the first time a detailed overview, down to individual measurements not available anywhere else, of all 107 Cretan hell scenes. Lymberopoulou was responsible for 100% of the editorial work on Volume I and 50% on Volume II, which included editing the chapters and catalogue prior to submission, corresponding with the publisher, dealing with page proofs, and liaising with the book editor, copy editor and overseeing that copyright was obtained. The publication is accompanied by a linked-data, open access database overseen by Lymberopoulou (in progress).
