Season 1, Episode 8: “Η Διάσωση στα Χρόνια της Σκλαβιάς”
The last episode returns us to the Ottoman East, where in the absence of printing presses and organized education, the few scholars continue copying by hand as in the Byzantine years, heroically fighting spiritual and material poverty. From Istanbul to Europe again, where in the 18th century, the Enlightenment movement opens new avenues of salvation.
