With over 200 color illustrations, Byzantine Silk on the Silk Roads examines in detail the eclectic iconography of the Byzantine period and its impact on design and creativity today. Through an examination of the extraordinary variety of designs in these captivating silks, an international team of experts reveal that Byzantine culture was ever-moving and open to diverse influences across the length of the Silk Road. Commentaries from curators at key collections – including the Museum of Arts, Boston, the Smithsonian (Cooper Hewitt), the V&A and the Vatican – reveal the spread of silk embroidery and designs from East to West, and from West to East, from China to Rome, and from Constantinople to Korea. Drawing on exclusive imagery from worldwide collections within museums, churches and archives as case studies, their analysis of these unique woven silks explores the relationship between color and power, material culture and status, and offers broader insight into Byzantine culture, trade, society and ceremony. Byzantine Silk ... takes us on a journey from the past to the present, too, where Byzantine story-telling and image-making is revisited, through color, imagery and pattern, in contemporary fashion collections. Exploring Byzantine culture through a contemporary filter, the book shows how the Byzantine era still influences textile and fashion designers today in their choices of materials and colors, and their utilization of images and patterns, acting as a unique source of inspiration to designers and creators in the 21st century.

Die Forschungsbibliothek Gotha gehort zu den grossen Bibliotheken mit historisch gewachsenen Handschriften- und Buchbestanden in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Im Anschluss an die Katalogisierung der umfassenden Sammlung zur Reformationsgeschichte beschreibt dieser Band nun erstmals ausfuhrlich die 202 Handschriftenbande der Bibliothek, die aus dem Besitz der Jenaer Theologieprofessoren Johann Gerhard (1582-1673) und Johann Ernst Gerhard (1621-1668) stammen. Wahrend der Vater Johann zu den produktivsten und brillantesten lutherischen Theologen im ersten Drittel des 17. Jahrhunderts zahlt, machte der Sohn Johann Ernst sich unter anderem als einer der ersten Wissenschaftler um die Erforschung der orientalischen Sprachen in Europa verdient. Diese Sammlung, die Herzog Friedrich I. von Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg zusammen mit dem Grossteil der auf 6.000 einzelne Drucke geschatzten Bibliotheca Gerhardina 1678 fur die Herzogliche Bibliothek auf Schloss Friedenstein erwarb, setzt sich vor allem aus den Nachlassen der beiden Jenaer Theologen zusammen, die Lebensdokumente, Korrespondenzen und Werkmanuskripte sowie Zeugnisse ihrer Bildungswege und Amtstatigkeiten als Prediger, Professoren und Berater enthalten. Hinzu kommen zahlreiche Handschriftenbande unterschiedlichen Inhalts, die sie fur ihre geruhmte Gelehrtenbibliothek anschafften. Die Beschreibungen der Handschriften bilden ein neues Fundament fur Forschungen zu den beiden Jenaer Theologieprofessoren sowie zu vielfaltigen historischen Themen, die von der Reformation bis zur Zeit der lutherischen Orthodoxie reichen.

This volume complements Anna Muthesius' two earlier ground-breaking volumes in the field of silk as material culture: Studies in Byzantine and Islamic Silk Weaving and Studies in Silk in Byzantium. The publication highlights the fact that similar patterns of selection were at work in the acquisition of silks by secular and ecclesiastical bodies. These patterns of selection were governed not only by fashions of the time, but by access to international trade routes leading to the Great Silk Road linking the Near East to the Mediterranean. The surviving silks prove that Mediterranean/Near Eastern silk trade flourished continuously and for centuries prior to the thirteenth century, contrary to what has previously widely been assumed. It also highlights the crucial role of the Caucasian silk routes in accessing the Great Silk Road in the early period, and the contribution of Georgian (and Armenian) silk weaving after the thirteenth century. Above all, the book demonstrates how important it is to assess the impact of Near Eastern silk manufacture and distribution in relation to Byzantine and Islamic Mediterranean silk production and trade.

Very fine collection of essays a rich feast of scholarship with many discoveries and new interpretations of greatest value for Anglo-Saxon history.' SPECULUM St Cuthbert is known to many as the the saintly bishop of Holy Island inthe 7th century, but he was also a figure of great political and territorial power. The book is divided into four sections, each dealing with different aspects of Cuthbert and his milieu. Among the topics investigated are the early Livesof the Saint, two by Bede himself, and his cult; Lindisfarne, its scriptorium and of course the famous Gospels; the sumptuous treasures gathered round the coffin, such as a portable altar and elaborately-worked silks, many of which are still preserved at Durham; and St Cuthbert's community at Chester-le-Street and Durham.

The Routledge Handbook On Identity In Byzantium written by Michael Edward Stewart and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-03-31 with History categories.

This volume is the first to focus solely on how specific individuals and groups in Byzantium and its borderlands were defined and distinguished from other individuals and groups from the mid-fourth to the close of the fifteenth century. It gathers chapters from both established and emerging scholars from a wide range of disciplines across history, art, archaeology, and religion to provide an accurate representation of the state of the field both now and in its immediate future. The handbook is divided into four subtopics that examine concepts of group and specific individual identity which have been chosen to provide methodologically sophisticated and multidisciplinary perspectives on specific categories of group and individual identity. The topics are Imperial Identities; Romanitas in the Late Antique Mediterranean; Macro and Micro Identities: Religious, Regional, and Ethnic Identities, and Internal Others; and Gendered Identities: Literature, Memory, and Self in Early and Middle Byzantium. While no single volume could ever provide a comprehensive vision of identities on the vast variety of peoples within Byzantium over nearly a millennium of its history, this handbook represents a milestone in offering a survey of the vibrant surge of scholarship examining the numerous and oft-times fluctuating codes of identity that shaped and transformed Byzantium and its neighbours during the empire’s long life.
