Doula Mouriki (Greek: Ντούλα Μουρίκη; 1934–1991) was a Greek Byzantinologist and art historian. She made important contributions to the study of Byzantine art in Greece.

Education

Doula Mouriki was born in 1934 at

University of Athens.[2] From 1956 to 1957, she received a scholarship to visit the École pratique des hautes études and the Collège de France, where she studied under André Grabar and Paul Lemerle.[1] Afterwards, she returned to the University of Athens to earn a degree in French literature
in 1958.

In the early 1960s, Mouriki was first hired as a temporary staff member by the

National Archaeological Museum of Athens and shortly thereafter as a principal research assistant under Manolis Hatzidakis at the Byzantine and Christian Museum.[2] She later attended Princeton University, studying with Kurt Weitzmann.[3] At Princeton, Mouriki earned an MFA in 1968 and a PhD in 1970,[4] completing her doctoral dissertation on miniatures in Byzantine manuscripts of Cosmas Indicopleustes' Christian Topography.[5] She holds the distinction of being the first woman to earn a PhD from the university's Department of Art and Archaeology.[6]

Career

After receiving her PhD, Mouriki taught at the

Mistra.[1]

Mouriki's areas of research included

Gottfried von Herder Award.[3]

Mouriki died on 25 November 1991 in Athens, Greece.[3]
