At the crossroads of two continents, home to some of the world’s earliest and most influential cities and civilizations, Turkey contains multi- tudes. The graciousness of its people is legendary—indeed it’s often said that to call a Turk gracious is redundant—and perhaps that’s no surprise in a place where cultural exchange has been taking place for millennia. From early Neolithic ruins to vibrant Istanbul, the karsts and cave-towns of Cappadocia to metropolitan Ankara, Turkey is rich in treasure for the inquisi- tive traveler. During our explorations of these and other highlights of the coun- FEATURING: try, we will enjoy special access to architectural and archaeological sites in the Dan Thompson, Ph.D. company of Global Heritage Fund staff.

  • Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere)
    DALE KINNEY Liturgy, Space, and Community in the Basilica Julii (Santa Maria in Trastevere) Abstract The Basilica Julii (also known as titulus Callisti and later as Santa Maria in Trastevere) provides a case study of the physical and social conditions in which early Christian liturgies ‘rewired’ their participants. This paper demon- strates that liturgical transformation was a two-way process, in which liturgy was the object as well as the agent of change. Three essential factors – the liturgy of the Eucharist, the space of the early Christian basilica, and the local Christian community – are described as they existed in Rome from the fourth through the ninth centuries. The essay then takes up the specific case of the Basilica Julii, showing how these three factors interacted in the con- crete conditions of a particular titular church. The basilica’s early Christian liturgical layout endured until the ninth century, when it was reconfigured by Pope Gregory IV (827-844) to bring the liturgical sub-spaces up-to- date. In Pope Gregory’s remodeling the original non-hierarchical layout was replaced by one in which celebrants were elevated above the congregation, women were segregated from men, and higher-ranking lay people were accorded places of honor distinct from those of lesser stature. These alterations brought the Basilica Julii in line with the requirements of the ninth-century papal stational liturgy. The stational liturgy was hierarchically orga- nized from the beginning, but distinctions became sharper in the course of the early Middle Ages in accordance with the expansion of papal authority and changes in lay society.

  • The Architecture and Mosaics of the Basilica of Agias Trias in the Karpas Peninsula, Cyprus
    The Architecture and Mosaics of the Basilica of Agias Trias in the Karpas Peninsula, Cyprus Allan Langdale University of California, Santa Cruz Abstract This article examines the architectural, decorative, and liturgical elements of the ruined basilica of Agias Trias in the Karpas peninsula on Cyprus. These elements include the essential architectural components of the complex, such as the atrium, narthex, and the baptistery, as well as liturgical remains such as the bema and solea. An account is given of the form and function of both the baptistery structure and the baptismal font, with consideration of how their forms reflect the rites and practice of baptism in the early Church. Attention is also given to the form and iconography of the mosaic decoration, including the two Greek inscriptions. The article concludes with thoughts on the future conservation of the site. Keywords: Cyprus, Karpas, Agias Trias, baptistery, baptismal font, mosaics, early Byzantine, solea, ambo, bema, catechumena, basilica Abstract Bu makalede Kıbrıs Karpas bölgesinde bulunan Agias Trias Bazilikası kalıntısının mimari, süsleme sanatları ve törensel eşyaları incelenmektedir.

  • The Historically Indicative Nature of Byzantine Architecture
    Olivier: The Historically Indicative Nature of Byzantine Architecture The Historically Indicative Nature of Byzantine Architecture Nick Olivier, Lynchburg College The stylistic differences between Saint Mark's Cathedral in Venice, Italy, and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, Turkey, are indicative of aesthetic variances as they relate to time, cultural influence, and architects. A great deal may be observed about the societies surrounding these places of worship at the time of their construction through the examination of the substance of these architectural marvels. Pierre Auguste Renoir declares in his notebook, "Don't be afraid to look at the great masters of the best periods. They created irregularity within regularity. Saint Mark's Cathedral in Venice: symmetrical, as a whole, but not one detail is like another!” This quote suggests that the design of the Cathedral is demonstrative of a broader ideology, not just in art, but within a time period, culture, and individual artistic style. Both Saint Mark's Cathedral and Hagia Sophia are Byzantine structures, making their comparison and contrast indicative of these tenors. The most similar element of the aesthetic variances between the two architectural works is, perhaps, time. The evolution of architectural intention over time is of primary importance in determining why these two Byzantine, originally Christian, structures are artistically dissimilar in some respects, yet similar in others. Hagia Sophia was completed under Justinian’s rule in Constantinople circa 537 AD, while Saint Mark’s Cathedral was erected circa 1050 in Venice, Italy. In order to thoroughly examine the historical attributes that account for the visual variations between the architectural works, this lapse in time must be considered.
