Doula Mouriki was born in 1934 atAmpelokepi (nearAigio).^[1] She earned degrees in history and archaeology in 1956 from theUniversity of Athens.^[2] From 1956 to 1957, she received a scholarship to visit theÉcole pratique des hautes études and theCollège de France, where she studied underAndré Grabar andPaul Lemerle.^[1] Afterwards, she returned to the University of Athens to earn a degree inFrench literature in 1958.

In the early 1960s, Mouriki was first hired as a temporary staff member by theNational Archaeological Museum of Athens and shortly thereafter as a principal research assistant underManolis Hatzidakis at theByzantine and Christian Museum.^[2] She later attendedPrinceton University, studying withKurt 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 ofCosmas 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]
