The central theme of the articles reproduced in these two volumes is the role of the visual arts and architecture in the cultural interaction between medieval societies, Christian and Muslim, in the eastern Mediterranean. Visual forms of production and communication amongst Christian communities themselves, and between Christian and Muslim, are discussed within their specific social and political contexts. Placing the emphasis on areas which passed between Christian and Muslim raises questions of the formation of identities as well as the relationship of the periphery to the centre. Focusing on the areas of Egypt, Syria and Palestine in relation to Byzantium, Islam, and the West provides a framework for consideration of particular issues, especially the identity of particular communities. The core of the work considers the period between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, when these areas were at the centre of eastern Mediterranean politics, and seeks to interpret little known evidence in the light of political and cultural circumstances with an interdisciplinary approach as its starting noint. Vol. I features papers on the legacy of Byzantine art, and the medieval Christian art of Egypt. Vol. II covers the Christian art of Medieval Syria, and the art of the Crusader states.

Numerous churches decorated with medieval wall paintings can be found in Lebanon and Syria, especially in the former Crusader County of Tripoli and the Muslim-controlled Damascus area. In particular the first half of the thirteenth century turned out to be a period of intensive artistic activities. This book addresses the matter of identity formation in the decoration of Maronite, Melkite and Syrian Orthodox churches during this artistic 'Syrian Renaissance', and explores the differences and similarities between the arts of these communities. Attention is given to the interaction between Latins and local Christians, the attribution of works of art to local and Byzantine artists, and the relationship with Islamic art. Furthermore, recent discoveries have revealed that indigenous painters and workshops involved in the embellishment of churches also produced icons which were formerly attributed to Latin artists, thus adding a new dimension to the research on the production of Christian art in the Middle East during the Crusader era.

The early Christian period, especially the time between the third and sixth centuries, is one of the most fascinating in church history. The Christianity which developed into a state church in the Roman empire during the fourth century gave new content to traditional Graeco-Roman art and adapted it to changed needs. Different forms of churches, monasteries and baptisms came into being, as did Christian art in paintings, mosaics and sculptures; biblical manuscripts were illustrated and liturgical furnishings and vessels were given new form. Here for the first time in a single volume is an account of architecture sacred and profane, funerary art in catacombs and tombs and especially sarcophagi, the graphic arts and the various forms of art in miniature. The text is illustrated with numerous line drawings and photographs, including ground plans and elevations of churches, actual and conjectural, and there are full descriptions of the art and architecture discussed against its social and historical background. In addition there are full bibliographies and details of the most important collections of Christian art. This will prove not only an invaluable work for art historians but also a guide for those travelling in the Mediterranean area and an indication of the riches of the first centuries of the church. Guntram Koch is Professor of Christian Archaeology and the History of Byzantine Art in the University of Marburg.

"The first thousand years of the Christian Church and its great monuments is the sphere of this unusual book. From the origins of the Church and its development in Rome, Ravenna and Byzantium, through the story of early Western Europe and, finally, to the Golden Age of Byzantium and its widespread influence in all the Christian East, Professor Jean Lassus traces this fascinating story in a magnificent book including over 200 illustrations, 117 in colour. We are presented here with the epic of Christianity and its great art from the catacombs to Byzantine Russia. The secret life of the first Christians in Rome and their subsequent acceptance by the state in the 4th century survive for us only through the paintings in the catacombs, and the sculpture of the sarcophagi. Gradually signs of the increasing power and wealth of the Church are found in the majestic basilicas and glittering mosaics of the Italian capital. The influence of Constantine's building programme, both in Italy and in the Holy Land, are analysed with outstanding authority. Professor Lassus, an expert in this field, explains the evolution of Byzantine Church architecture with the development of the dome, and its diffusion through the empire. He examines in detail the important role of Ravenna, combining the traditions of Rome and the East, and pays particular attention to the astonishing variety of the mosaic decoration. During the period of Iconoclasm (the banning of all images in religious art in the 8th century) the figurative arts of Byzantium suffered irreparable damage, but the revoking of this decree a century later resulted in magnificent frescoes and mosaics full of expression and grace. The influence of these works spread from Constantinople throughout her empire from the eastern shores of the Black Sea through Russia and as far as Greece and Sicily. Cultural activities in the West between the 6th and 11th centuries were more scattered than those of the Christian East. The amazingly complex decorative patterns and intertwining motifs inherited from Celtic art found flourishing expression in Ireland. The Irish illuminated manuscripts such as the Books of Kells and Durrow had a far-reaching influence on the manuscripts of Carolingian Europe while the products of Charlemagne's 'renaissance' were a crystallisation of the barbarian arts and a step towards the impending expansion of the Romanesque. In the end, it is the sumptuous magnificence of Byzantine art which is most memorable - the brilliant mosaics, the shining gold and silver, the jewels, enamels, the luxurious silks and embroideries - but the reason for this imperial manifestation is the same that prompted the more modest expressions in the catacombs and the beautiful simplicity of early church architecture. Professor Lassus tells the story of this dramatic period in a clear and immensely readable way and the astonishing variety of works of art are reproduced in faithful detail to illustrate handsomely for the reader this unique and absorbing book." --

The high points are undoubtedly the glittering mosaics of Ravenna and the soaring architecture of Constantinople's Hagia Sophia; but the true artistic wealth of Byzantium becomes ever more apparent when one considers the abundance and variety of the less well-known treasures included among the reproductions.
