Glenn Bowman initially trained in literary criticism with a focus on medieval pilgrimage before moving into social anthropology. In the early 1980s he lived for two years in Jerusalem’s Old City, studying holy places and travelling with pilgrim groups. He subsequently became concerned with Palestinian identities under occupation, a topic entailing also examination of ‘shared’ holy places with attention to intercommunal relations. Cognate work followed in former Yugoslavia and on both sides of the Cypriot Divide. Although he continues his research in Palestine, he is retired and an Emeritus Professor in Socio-Historical Anthropology affiliated with the University of Kent, Canterbury.
Didier Clerc studied classics at the University of Fribourg, where he obtained his PhD with a dissertation on Theodore Metochites’s Comparison of Demosthenes and Aristides.

He is currently a fellow of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences at the Dictionary of Medieval Latin (Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Munich).
