Fellowship Work Summary, 2024–25

Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis completed the seven substantive chapters of her monograph, “To Rival the Temple of Solomon”: Splendid Churches and Bishops in Early Christianity. She also completed revisions of, and obtained illustrations for, an article, “Arian and Orthodox Apostles in Late Antique Ravenna,” for a forthcoming Gesta 2026 issue.

She submitted two previously written articles to journals:

  • “Gregory of Tours, Solomon’s Temple, and the Seven Wonders: Splendor and Ephemerality” to Vigiliae Christianae
  • “Lists of the Twelve Apostles in Late Antique Art” to Revue d’Études augustiniennes et patristiques

Finally, with her father, Duke emeritus history professor Seymour Mauskopf, she completed revisions requested by the University of Chicago Press on his book manuscript, Powders, Patents, and Profits, about the patent infringement trial Nobel v. Anderson in 1894; that manuscript is now ready for submission.
