Art This site will guide you to short articles on the Kings and Queens of the Tudor Music Dynasty. Another general guide to Tudor times can be found here. Architecture Click here for a fuller account of Elizabeth. One of the principle events of the reign of Elizabeth was the defeat of the Spanish Armada (here's the BBC Armada site). Elizabeth's famous (and short) speech before the battle can be found here. England's power grew mightily in this period, which is reflected in the lives and achievements of contemporary 'heroes' such as Sir Francis Drake, fearless fighter against the Spanish who circumnavigated the globe, and Sir Walter Raleigh (nowadays pronounced Rawley), one of those who established the first British colonies across the Atlantic (and who spelt his name in over 40 different ways...). Raleigh is generally 'credited' with the commercial introduction of tobacco into England .about 1778, and possibly of the potato. On a lighter note, information on Elizabethan costume is available here (including such items as farthingales and bumrolls). Literature Drama and the theatre The Elizabethan age is the golden age of English drama, for which the establishment of permanent theatres is not least responsible. As performances left the inn-yards and noble houses for permanent sites in London, the demand for drama increased enormously. While some of the smaller theatres were indoors, it is the purpose-built round/square/polygonal buildings such as The Theatre (the first, built in 1576), the Curtain (late 1570s?), the Rose (1587), the Swan (1595), the Fortune (1600) and of course the Globe (1599) that are most characteristic of the period.

On December 15, 1998, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the (former) New York Times Bu ilding and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Three witnesses, representing the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Municipal Art Society, and the Historic Districts Council , spoke in favor of the designation. The hearing was re-opened on February 23 , 1999 for additional testimony from the owner, Pace University. Two representatives of Pace spoke, indicating that the university was not opposed to designation and looked forward to working with the Commission staff in regard to future plans for the building. The Commission has also received letters from Dr. Sarah Bradford Landau and Robert A.M. Stern in support of designation. This item had previously been heard for designation as an individual Landmark in 1966 (LP-0550) and in 1980 as part of the proposed Civic Center Hi storic District (LP-1125). Summary This sixteen-story office building, constructed as the home of the New York Times , is one of the last survivors of Newspaper Row, the center of newspaper publishing in New York City from the 1830s to the 1920s.

  • Architectural and Functional/Liturgical Development of the North-West Church in Hippos (Sussita) 148 JOLANTA MŁYNARCZYK
    CENTRE D’ARCHÉOLOGIE MÉDITERRANÉENNE DE L’ACADÉMIE POLONAISE DES SCIENCES ÉTUDES et TRAVAUX XXII 2008 JOLANTA MŁYNARCZYK Architectural and Functional/Liturgical Development of the North-West Church in Hippos (Sussita) 148 JOLANTA MŁYNARCZYK In July 2007, the eighth season of excavations was completed at the so-called North- West Church at Hippos (Sussita), one of the cities of the Decapolis. The church was explored by a Polish team within the framework of an international project devoted to the unearth- ing of the remains of that Graeco-Roman and Byzantine-Umayyad period town, headed by Arthur Segal of the University of Haifa. Despite the fact that as many as four churches have so far been uncovered at Sussita,1 it is only the North-West Church (NWC) that became one of the examples discussed by A. Ovadiah in his paper listing Byzantine-peri- od churches excavated within the borders of the present-day Israel, in which architectural changes apparently refl ect some liturgical modifi cations.2 Unfortunately, A. Ovadiah’s interpretation of the NWC (published in 2005) not only was based on the reports of the early seasons of our fi eldwork (2002, 2003), but also proved to be rather superfi cial one, a fact which calls for a careful re-examination of the excavation data. Perhaps the most important fact about the NWC is that this has been one of rare in- stances attested for the region of a church that was still active as such during the Um- ayyad period.

KHRUSHKOVA Abstract This article presents a brief summary of the literary and archaeological evidence for the spread and consolidation of Christianity in the eastern Black Sea littoral during the early Christian era (4th-7th centuries AD). Colchis is one of the regions of the late antique world for which the archaeological evidence of Christianisation is greater and more varied than the literary. Developments during the past decade in the field of early Christian archaeology now enable this process to be described in considerably greater detail The eastern Black Sea littoral–ancient Colchis–comprises (from north to south) part of the Sochi district of the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation as far as the River Psou, then Abkhazia as far as the River Ingur (Engur), and, further south, the western provinces of Georgia: Megrelia (Samegrelo), Guria, Imereti and Adzhara (Fig. 1). This article provides a summary of the literary and archaeological evidence for the spread and consolidation of Christianity in the region during the early Christ- ian era (4th-7th centuries AD).1 Colchis is one of the regions of late antiquity for which the archaeological evidence of Christianisation is greater and more varied than the literary. Progress during the past decade in the field of early Christian archaeology now enables this process to be described in considerably greater detail.2 The many early Christian monuments of Colchis are found in ancient cities and fortresses that are familiar through the written sources.3 These include Pityus (modern Pitsunda, Abkhazian Mzakhara, Georgian Bichvinta); Nitike (modern Gagra); Trakheia, which is surely Anakopiya (modern Novyi Afon, Abkhazian Psyrtskha); Dioscuria/ * Translated from Russian by Brent Davis.

  • Swinging Thuribles in Early Byzantine Churches in the Holy Land. Author
    Восточнохристианское искусство 119 УДК: 7.033.2…1 ББК: 85.13 А43 DOI:10.18688/aa166-2-12 Fanny Vitto Swinging Thuribles in Early Byzantine Churches in the Holy Land Swinging thuribles producing fragrant smoke are commonplace in the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Armenian, and Roman Catholic Churches. The use of incense, though, predates Christianity by thousands of years. The practice of incense burning during religious ceremonies was customary for most ancient civilizations around the Mediterranean. It orig- inated in the Near East, doubtlessly because its ingredients, frankincense and spices, were indigenous to this area. Frankincense is an aromatic resin obtained from the Boswellia sacra tree which grew mainly in southern Arabia and southern Nubia. Isaiah (Isaiah 60:6) speaks of the caravans of camels from Midian and Sheba carrying gold and frankincense. Incense was a greatly valued commodity in the ancient times. It is quite significant that frankincense (λίβανος) was one of the three gifts the Magi offered to infant Jesus (Matthew 2:11). In antiquity, incense was burned in various vessels including high clay stands, tripods with holes and horned altars. The Old Testament contains numerous references to the use of in- cense in Ancient Israel [9; 15; 23]. There were two terms for incense used in Hebrew: qetoret (a burning mixture of spices) and levonah (meaning white, i.e., frankincense which is one of the ingredients in qetoret). In the Temple of Jerusalem incense was burned by the High Priest in the Holy of Holies. On the Day of Atonement, the smoke of incense (qetoret sammim) sym- bolically carried men’s prayers to God in order to obtain forgiveness for their sins.

  • On Byzantine Churches, and the Modifications Made in Their Arrange- Ments Owing to the Necessities of the Greek Ritual.—By EDWIN PRESHFIELD, ESQ
    XXIV.— On Byzantine Churches, and the Modifications made in their Arrange- ments owing to the Necessities of the Greek Ritual.—By EDWIN PRESHFIELD, ESQ. M.A. F.S.A. Read April 3rd, 1873. There is no subject that appears to me to present a better field for inquiry to a Christian antiquary than the architecture and antiquities of the Byzantine Church and the Churches associated with it. Although much has no doubt been lost, much still remains, and a far from incomplete history of Byzantine architecture and of the different styles prevailing at the different epochs of that empire might be collected even from the churches still existing in the cities of Constantinople, Salonica, Athens, and Trebisond alone, and there would still remain the churches of the Monasteries of Mount Athos and of the islands, without touching upon those of Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt. My object in this communication is to point out what I believe to be one of the great landmarks in the Byzantine style, and its connection with the Greek Liturgy. The landmark is this: where an ancient Greek church is found with three apses it is subsequent in date to the Emperor Justin II., or has had a new east end applied; where it has only one apse it is prior to that date. Byzantine architecture is so intimately connected with the Liturgy of its Church that the study of one necessarily involves the other. On examining the churches I was struck to find in the later buildings a dis- tinctive feature found equally at Corfu and Trebisond, at Alexandria and at Studenitza, which I did not find in the earlier examples, and this feature I will explain.

WHITFORD ANDERSON, A.R.I.B.A. No one who makes a serious study of archaeology can afford to ignore the carvings of stone and wood which adorn our old churches. The type of carving is as sure a criterion of date as the moulding, and the examples I shall shOW you to-night were selected with a view of comparing them with carvings in other churches in different counties, and are a fair sample of the work to be found in Hertfordshire, though they must not necessarily be taken as the best types of the different periods, as in making the slides I was bound by the limits of my own collection. I shall begin with the Norman period, extending, roughly, from 1066 to 1189. In dealing with this style it is well to remember its origin. It appears to have arisen in Italy during the eleventh century, under an impulse from Byzantium, and was influenced by existing Roman remains ; thence it passed through France. On reaching our shores it became blended, to a certain extent, varying in different districts with the native Anglo- Saxon and Celtic. Nearly all our Norman capitals are based on what is called the " cushion" type, which is merely a square block with the lower part rounded off to fit a circular shaft, but the ornament carved on them varies. I have examples of three types of ornament. First, the Celtic, which luxuriated in interlacing ornament and imagery; second, caps with volutes at the angles or in the centre, evidently a sur- vival of the u caulicoli" of the old Corinthian capital ; and thirdly, scolloped ornament.
