Grégoire Henri

Grégoire, Henri (March 21, 1881, Gui, – September 28, 1964, Brussels) was a Belgian Byzantinist and expert in Slavic studies. One of the initiators of organizing international congresses in the field of Byzantine studies. Founder and editor of the journals Byzantion and Corpus Bruxellense Historiae Byzantinae.

The majority of Grégoire’s works are related to Byzantine source studies, political history, as well as the Greek poem "Digenes Akritas." His article "The Iviron Monastery and the Role of the Georgians on Mount Athos" was published in 1963 in the Yearbook of the Society of Byzantine Studies, and its Georgian translation was published by S. Kaukhchishvili.

Grégoire considers Euthymius of Athos (Ekvtime Atoneli) to be the author of the Greek edition of Balavariani and gives this literary piece the highest praise.
