We canceled the lecture scheduled for May 12 due to technical issues with my computer. After fixing the problem with the generous help from my neighbor, I conducted a short test session with my professor, who coordinates the Zoom lectures. The new date for the speech is May 26. This discourse will focus on the portage of ships across the Isthmus of Corinth and is based on my article, "The Battle of the Gulf of Corinth."

I have completed the editing of the third part of my article, The Fall of New Rome, subtitled From Zero to Hero and Otherwise. This section explores the challenges faced by the crusading army at Zara as its leaders deliberate on their next course of action. A controversial decision ultimately diverts the Crusade from its original planned route, directing it toward another Christian city. In the end, Christendom gained valuable insights from this ill-fated overseas venture. The paper is available at

I also re-edited Chapter 4 of my book, "The Enchanting Encounter with the East." Titled The World as the Trefoil, this section explores the evolution of the Mappa Mundi, or "world maps," which reflect the medieval imagination. Over the centuries, this medium transformed from simple representations of a tripartite-inhabited Earth to more intricate designs that incorporated Ptolemy's vision and reflected the influence of sea charts. This portrayal of the medieval world, encompassing both the sacred and the profane, unfolds before us.
