Dumbarton Oaks Research Library & Collection BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Kurt Weitzmann (1904-1993) was a noted Princeton scholar and an influential Byzantinist and medievalist. Born in Klein Almerode, Germany in 1904, Weitzmann began his academic career in medieval studies, completing his studies in Berlin under archaeologist Ferdinand Noack and medieval art historian Adolf Goldschmidt. Weitzmann completed his dissertation on ivory rosette caskets, Die Elfenbeinkästen aus der mittelbyzantinsichen Zeit, in 1929 under the direction of Goldschmidt, who published it as the first volume of his corpus of medieval ivories, Die byzantinischen Elfenbeinskulpturen des X.-XIII. Jahrhunderts. Weitzmann also worked with Goldschmidt on the second volume of the series. He married fellow Goldschmidt scholar Josepha Fiedler in 1932. From 1930-1934, Weitzmann was a member of the Deutsches Archäologischen Institut in Berlin, from which he received funding for research in Athens, Patmos and Mount Athos (1931), and in Berlin (1932-34). Weitzmann left Germany in 1935 because of his association with Goldschmidt, a Jew, and his refusal to join the Nazi Party. He left Berlin for Princeton University, becoming a permanent member of the Institute for Advanced Study, initially engaged in preparing a corpus of illustrated manuscripts of the Septuagint with Charles Rufus Morey and Albert M. Friend, Jr. In 1938 he began his long association with Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, presenting the paper, “Principals of Byzantine Book Illumination,” even before the center was fully established. He remained active with Dumbarton Oaks until his death. In 1945 Weitzmann was appointed professor in the department of art history. His most influential book, Illustrations in Roll and Codex, a distillation of his principles of manuscript interpretation, appeared in 1947. He held visiting positions at Yale (1954- 55). In 1956 he began his long research association with the Monastery of St. Catherine on Mt. Sinai. On his first visit he examined and photographed 2,000 manuscripts. Subsequent visits were sponsored by the Alexandria-Michigan-Princeton Expedition. Together with Ernst Kitzinger, Weitzmann organized the 1965 Dumbarton Oaks conference on Byzantine contribution to the art of the West of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Named emeritus in the department in 1972, he relinquished his Institute appointment, to be a visiting scholar at Dumbarton Oaks, 1972-74. In 1977, Weitzmann organized an exhibition and symposium (with Margaret Frazer) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, entitled, “The Age of Spirituality.” The show recapped Weitzmann’s originality in looking at the range of early medieval objects which both showed the unity of the objects and the adoption of pagan images into new meanings. In 1990 his St. Catherine’s Monastery research began to appear in book form. The first, published in collaboration with George Galvaris, was The Illuminated Manuscripts. Although the icons of St. Catherine's had been published in cursory form, Weitzmann’s enthusiasm for them and the place they played in religious iconography resulted in his second volume of the Monastery, The Icons. Weitzmann oversaw the restoration of the Transfiguration mosaic of St. Catherine's, leading to a final volume on the church, written in collaboration with Forsyth, The Church and Fortress of Justinian. Weitzmann remained active in scholarship and publications until the decline of his health in later life. He was conferred an honorary doctorate from Princeton University Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA), Dumbarton Oaks Page 2 of 72 shortly before his death. Weitzmann died of a heart disease on June 7, 1993 at the age of 89. Sorensen, Lee. "Kurt Weitzmann." Dictionary of Art Historians (8 October 2008).

SEEDS Of RENEWAl Numbers of monks continued to fall throughout the 960s and it was only in the early 970s that the trend was finally arrested. In 972 the population rose from ,5 to ,6—not a spectacular increase, but nevertheless the first to be recorded since the turn of the century. Until the end of the century the upturn was maintained in most years and the official total in 2000 stood at just over ,600.

  • Manolis G. Varvounis * – Nikos Rodosthenous Religious
    Manolis G. Varvounis – Nikos Rodosthenous Religious Traditions of Mount Athos on Miraculous Icons of Panagia (The Mother of God) At the monasteries and hermitages of Mount Athos, many miraculous icons are kept and exhibited, which are honored accordingly by the monks and are offered for worship to the numerous pilgrims of the holy relics of Mount Athos.1 The pil- grims are informed about the monastic traditions of Mount Athos regarding these icons, their origin, and their miraculous action, during their visit to the monasteries and then they transfer them to the world so that they are disseminated systemati- cally and they can become common knowledge of all believers.2 In this way, the traditions regarding the miraculous icons of Mount Athos become wide-spread and are considered an essential part of religious traditions not only of the Greek people but also for other Orthodox people.3 Introduction Subsequently, we will examine certain aspects of these traditions, based on the literature, notably the recent work on the miraculous icons in the monasteries of Mount Athos, where, except for the archaeological and the historical data of these specific icons, also information on the wonders, their origin and their supernatural action over the centuries is captured.4 These are information that inspired the peo- ple accordingly and are the basis for the formation of respective traditions and re- ligious customs that define the Greek folk religiosity. Many of these traditions relate to the way each icon ended up in the monastery where is kept today. According to the archetypal core of these traditions, the icon was thrown into the sea at the time of iconoclasm from a region of Asia Minor or the Near East, in order to be saved from destruction, and miraculously arrived at the monastery.

  • The Unique Spiritual Heritage of the Athos Peninsula in the Context of History and Present Time
    Polonia Sacra 21 (2017) nr 3 (48) ∙ s. 5–26 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/ps.2167 Peter Caban1 Filozofická fakulta, Katolícka univerzita v Ružomberku “A place where no woman has ever entered…” The unique spiritual heritage of the Athos peninsula in the context of history and present time From the viewpoint of the history of Christian spirituality, the Athos peninsula takes a very interesting and precious position. For centuries, Athos was the centre of eastern monastic life, art, and science. It played a huge spiritual role in the history of spirituality. Even in the times before Christ, there were small inhabited cities on Athos, for example Sani, Dion, etc. Athos is mentioned in the works of Thucydides, Homer, Plutarch, and many other Greek authors. During the Turkish occupation, Athos was the centre of national renewal and refuge of Greek education, art, and science.2 1 The priest doc. ThDr. Peter Caban, PhD, is a docent at the Department of Religious Studies and Religious Education of the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the Catholic University in Ružomberok. In his scientific and Literary pursuits activities, he described the history of Christianity, sacral art, and Christian archaeology. He lectured at several European uni- versities and he authors more than 160 books. As a priest, he works in the Cathedral of St. Francis Xavier in Banská Bystrica and in the Priest seminary in Badín (Slovakia).

National Historical Museum, Athens) The most celebrated of the Greek scholars who worked in Italy was Cardinal BESSARION (1403-1472). An enthusiastic supporter of the union of the Eastern and Western Churches, he worked tirelessly to bring about the political and cultural conditions that would allow this to take place. He made a major contribution to the flowering of humanist studies in Italy and played a key role in gathering and preserving the ancient Greek, Byzantine and Latin cultural heritage By systematically collecting and copying manuscripts of rare literary and artistic value, frequently at great personal expense and sacrifice and with the help of various Greek refugee scholars and copyists (Conati autem sumus, quantum in nobis fuit, non tam multos quam optimos libros colligere, et sin- gulorum operum singula volumina, sicque cuncta fere sapien- tium graecorum opera, praesertim quae rara errant et inventu dif- ficilia, coegimus).

The entry for each route contains a link (or links) to a detailed Path Description and to GPS tracking where these are available. It also contains the latest information available to The Friends of Mount Athos on the condition of the route (all subject to the disclaimers at the end).
