Francis Dvornik (14 August 1893, Chomýž – 4 November 1975, Chomýž), in Czech František Dvorník, was a Catholic priest and academic. He is considered one of the leading twentieth-century experts on Slavic and Byzantine history,[by whom?] and on relations between the churches of Rome and Constantinople.

Career

edit

Dvornik taught at Charles University in Prague, the Collège de France, and Harvard University.

He contributed to research that helped rehabilitate, from a Catholic standpoint, the Byzantine patriarch and writer, Photius. He was re-established as significant to the life of the church.[citation needed]

In 1956 Harvard University Press published a festschrift, a collection of Essays Dedicated to F. Dvornik on the Occasion of his 60th Birthday (Harvard Slavic studies no. 2). Upon his retirement, he was Professor Emeritus of Byzantine history at Dumbarton Oaks, Harvard's Center for Byzantine Studies in Washington.
