		Studies in Byzantine Sigillography, generally abbreviated to SBS, was founded by the late Nicolas Oikonomides as an occasional medium for the publication of papers relating to a late-blooming field, the study of Byzantine lead seals.
		The paper is interesting for its list of Virgin types -- Hodegetria, Blachernitissa, Nikopoios, etc. -- which feature on seals, and for noting the occasional inconsistency between inscriptions and icon type, suggesting that not all Byzantines were as confident as modern art historians in their identifications.
		Whereas all that Koltsida-Makre writes can be understood, albeit with the occasional sympathetic wince, Stepanenko's text become obscure on a number of occasions, for example in arguing that representations of St. George on horseback are rare (which they are not) when the author surely means in the absence of the dragon.

		Thus the choice of topics for presentation at the BSC suggests that a number of Byzantine philologists are masquerading out of necessity as historians and classicists.
		Weak areas as far as representation on the program is concerned are theology, liturgy and church history, numismatics and sigillography, history of medicine, and law.
		To a certain extent these percentages accurately reflect the interests of North American Byzantinists, since American researchers in the fields of Byzantine numismatics, sigillography, epigraphy, legal history and history of science can be counted on the figures of one hand.

		Only the distribution of the colors (in point of proportion and position) changed to a certain extent, being made equal after the Revolution of 1848 when, under the spur of the French revolutionary spirit, many states in Europe adopted as their national flag the dimensionally standardized three-color banner.
		Sigillography attests that at certain historical stages, the Romanian flag had the three colors arranged horizontally with the red in the upper part, the yellow in the middle and the blue in the lower part.
		Also, the proportion of the colors was not the same as it is now (33 per cent for each color).

	THE NUMISMATIC MUSEUM OF ATHENS
		As the new millennium approaches, the Museum is also eager for change and novelty on top of its traditional roles of preserving the heritage and promoting research in numismatics, sigillography, etc. Following the resolution of certain matters it has recently been able to celebrate the official opening of its new installation.
		At long last it now has a suitable place of its own, where it can meet the needs of the present and fulfil the dreams of the future for many years to come.
		This task is greatly assisted by a very rich library of about 12,000 volumes (mainly covering numismatics, history and sigillography) and by a well-equipped laboratory for the conservation of metallic objects.

		palæography, diplomatics, epigraphy, numismatics, sigillography, or sphragistics, furnish practical rules that generally suffice to determine approximately the age of a manuscript.
		In this preliminary stage of research we are greatly aided by the nature of the material on which the manuscript is written, e.
		To these we may add numismatics, sigillography, and especially linguistics, not so much for a surer interpretation of the texts as for procuring data from which may be conclusively established the origins of peoples and their migrations.

	\| Medieval Identity: A Sign and a Concept \| The American Historical Review, 105.5 \| The History Cooperative
		In analyzing the diffusion of seals along the axes of regionalism, politics, and gender, I have come to rethink four previous assumptions that have long, almost axiomatically, dominated the field of medieval sigillography, or sphragistics, that is, the study of seals,
		The sealed charter, heretofore interpreted solely as an act of individual or familial will, must now be reconsidered as a text and artifact articulating cultural and ideological models ambient in specific scriptoria.
		A fourth prejudice, indeed a paramount force that has focused seal scholarship on artistic considerations and legal functionality, and has, more generally, shaped traditional sigillography as an antiquarian discipline, is its heuristics, based on casts.
