This two-volume work now contains over one hundred studies by scientists from various fields who wished to contribute their work as a tribute to a highly esteemed university professor, and as a gesture of friendly recognition towards Kaliopi Bourdara.

Kelly Bourdara's twenty-year public career has left a mark of calmness and dignity, from her first election as a Member of Parliament to her appointment as Deputy Mayor of Athens, and her tenure in governmental positions in the fields of Education and Culture.

The undeniable quality of the monographs and articles written by Kelly Bourdara on late Roman and Byzantine law has left an indelible mark on the history of law in Greece, and her work has generally influenced other historians who are not legal scholars and were inspired by her writing style.

Her recognition at an international level as one of the pioneering scientists who opened new paths in historical research is not accidental.
