Ivan Drpić, associate professor of art history at the University of Pennsylvania and a specialist in Byzantine art, has received the 2017 Runciman Book Award from the Anglo-Hellenic League in London.

Dr. Drpić won for his 2016 book Epigram, Art and Devotion in Later Byzantium, which focuses on verse inscriptions on works of art created in the last centuries of the Byzantine period, from about 1100 to 1450.

The award, founded in 1986, is given each year for a work about Greece or the world of Hellenism, published in English in its first edition in the previous year, with a goal to stimulate interest in Greek history and culture.
