Select Publications

Books

Jones, L. A. (2007). Between and Byzantium: Aght'amar and the Visual Construction of Medieval Armenian Rulership. Aldershot, UK: Ashgate Publishing.

In this book I provide the first complete analysis of the development of the visual expression of medieval Armenian rulership between the years 884-1045 CE. I re-contextualize the existing royal art and architecture by integrating analyses of contemporary accounts of ceremonial and royal deeds with fresh examinations of the surviving monuments.

Edited Books

Jones, L. A. (Ed.). (in press). Images and Afterlife: Essays in Honor of Annemarie Weyl Carr. Manuscript under contract for publication, Ashgate Publishing.

I am editor of, and author, of the Introduction and a chapter in, this volume of collected essays honoring Annemarie Weyl Carr, University Distinguished Professor of Art History Emerita, Southern Methodist University. Twelve international scholars contribute chapters examining Cypriot frescos, eastern medieval illuminated manuscripts, and relics and their reliquaries. Word count is set at 90K, with 16 color plates and 54 black and white images. Publication is scheduled for the summer of 2013.

Book Chapters

Jones, L. A. (in press). Radegund and the True Cross: Degrees of Separation. Manuscript under contract for publication, Ashgate Publishing.

This chapter is included in the volume of collected essays I am editing, a festschrift honoring Professor Annemarie Weyl Carr. In it I examine aspects of medieval identity as seen in the development of textual traditions associated with a Byzantine relic of the Cross in Merovingian Gaul and Capetian France.

Jones, L. A. (2012). Truth and Lies, Ceremonial and Art: Issues of Nationality in . In W. Pohl, & C. Ganter (Eds.), Visions of Community: Ethnicity, Religion and Power in the Early Medieval West, Byzantium and the Islamic World (pp. 223-239). Ashgate Publishing.

A volume that originated in the Wittengensteinprojekt Series, Ethnische Identitäten im Europa des Frühmittelalters. I argue that the so-called medieval kingdom of Armenia is a modern construct and examine how the ruling classes identified and distinguished themselves and their power.

Third volume in a three-part publication set devoted to the True Cross in Anglo-Saxon England. In this chapter I provide the first in-depth examination of a Byzantine relic of the True Cross buried with Edward the Confessor, re-contextualizing the role it played in Edward's expression of rulership, referencing both Byzantine and Ottonian imperial practices.

Studies in Early Medieval Britain, Vol. 5. In this chapter I provide the first in-depth analyses of a description of a now-destroyed Greek shrine presented to Westminster Cathedral by the Anglo-Saxon Queen Emma. I argue that it was a Byzantine triptych reliquary and that the collection of relics it contained reflected Emma's desire to reestablish her Norman identity at the end of her life.

Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies Publications Vol. 9; the publication of papers presented at the thirty-third annual meeting of the Society for Promotion of Byzantine Studies in the United Kingdom. In this chapter I analyze the exterior and interior decorative programs of the medieval Armenian Church of the Holy Cross, and also analyze textual descriptions of the now-destroyed adjacent place.
