  • Lighting and Byzantine Glass Tesserae
    EVA London Conference ~ 11–13 July 2007 Eva Zányi, Carla Schroer, Mark Mudge, and Alan Chalmers _____________________________________________________________________ LIGHTING AND BYZANTINE GLASS TESSERAE Eva Zányi†, Carla Schroer‡, Mark Mudge‡, Alan Chalmers† † Warwick Digital Laboratory University of Warwick Coventry CV4 7AL United Kingdom [email protected], [email protected] http://www.warwickdigital.org ‡ Cultural Heritage Imaging San Francisco USA [email protected], [email protected] http://www.c-h-i.org Abstract – A key component of many Byzantine churches was the mosaics on the curved walls and ceilings, which included gold and silver glass tesserae. As the viewer or the light moved within the church, these tesserae sparkled. In this paper we describe how we captured a Polynomial Texture Map of the apse mosaic at the Angeloktisti Church at Kiti, Cyprus and used it to investigate how the position of the lighting may have affected the appearance of the mosaic. Our study showed that the appearance of the mosaics is indeed significantly different when lit from various directions. INTRODUCTION From the outside Byzantine churches look unimposing; without much decoration, no paint or precious materials. This is very different to the interior, which provided those inside the space with dramatic visual affects aiming at alleviating and engaging the viewer to approach God [14]. The architecture used light and shadow to symbolically represent different sacral hierarchies and direct the attention of the viewer. Therefore the upper parts of the churches, which represented heaven, were better lit than the lower parts. In early Byzantium this was achieved with the help of daylight through small xxxx Figure 1.

  • DONALD NICOL Donald Macgillivray Nicol 1923–2003
    DONALD NICOL Donald MacGillivray Nicol 1923–2003 DONALD MACGILLIVRAY NICOL was born in Portsmouth on 4 February 1923, the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister. He was always proud of his MacGillivray antecedents (on his mother’s side) and of his family’s connection with Culloden, the site of the Jacobite defeat in 1745, on whose correct pronunciation he would always insist. Despite attending school first in Sheffield and then in London, he retained a slight Scottish accent throughout his life. By the time he left St Paul’s School, already an able classical scholar, it was 1941; the rest of his education would have to wait until after the war. Donald’s letters, which he carefully preserved and ordered with the instinct of an archivist, provide details of the war years.1 In 1942, at the age of nineteen, he was teaching elementary maths, Latin and French to the junior forms at St-Anne’s-on-Sea, Lancashire. He commented to his father that he would be dismissed were it known that he was a conscientious objector. By November of that year he had entered a Friends’ Ambulance 1 The bulk of his letters are to his father (1942–6) and to his future wife (1949–50). Also preserved are the letters of his supervisor, Sir Steven Runciman, over a forty-year period. Other papers are his diaries, for a short period of time in 1944, his notebooks with drawings and plans of churches he studied in Epiros, and his account of his travels on Mount Athos. This material is now in the King’s College London Archives, by courtesy of the Nicol family.

  • BYZANTINE CAMEOS and the AESTHETICS of the ICON By
    BYZANTINE CAMEOS AND THE AESTHETICS OF THE ICON by James A. Magruder, III A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2014 © 2014 James A. Magruder, III All rights reserved Abstract Byzantine icons have attracted artists and art historians to what they saw as the flat style of large painted panels. They tend to understand this flatness as a repudiation of the Classical priority to represent Nature and an affirmation of otherworldly spirituality. However, many extant sacred portraits from the Byzantine period were executed in relief in precious materials, such as gemstones, ivory or gold. Byzantine writers describe contemporary icons as lifelike, sometimes even coming to life with divine power. The question is what Byzantine Christians hoped to represent by crafting small icons in precious materials, specifically cameos. The dissertation catalogs and analyzes Byzantine cameos from the end of Iconoclasm (843) until the fall of Constantinople (1453). They have not received comprehensive treatment before, but since they represent saints in iconic poses, they provide a good corpus of icons comparable to icons in other media. Their durability and the difficulty of reworking them also makes them a particularly faithful record of Byzantine priorities regarding the icon as a genre. In addition, the dissertation surveys theological texts that comment on or illustrate stone to understand what role the materiality of Byzantine cameos played in choosing stone relief for icons. Finally, it examines Byzantine epigrams written about or for icons to define the terms that shaped icon production.

  • Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia
    CHRISTINA SKELTON Greek-Anatolian Language Contact and the Settlement of Pamphylia The Ancient Greek dialect of Pamphylia shows extensive influence from the nearby Anatolian languages. Evidence from the linguistics of Greek and Anatolian, sociolinguistics, and the histor- ical and archaeological record suggest that this influence is due to Anatolian speakers learning Greek as a second language as adults in such large numbers that aspects of their L2 Greek became fixed as a part of the main Pamphylian dialect. For this linguistic development to occur and persist, Pamphylia must initially have been settled by a small number of Greeks, and remained isolated from the broader Greek-speaking community while prevailing cultural atti- tudes favored a combined Greek-Anatolian culture. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Greek-speaking world of the Archaic and Classical periods (ca. ninth through third centuries BC) was covered by a patchwork of different dialects of Ancient Greek, some of them quite different from the Attic and Ionic familiar to Classicists. Even among these varied dialects, the dialect of Pamphylia, located on the southern coast of Asia Minor, stands out as something unusual. For example, consider the following section from the famous Pamphylian inscription from Sillyon: συ Διϝι̣ α̣ ̣ και hιιαροισι Μανεˉ[ς .]υαν̣ hελε ΣελυW[ι]ιυ̣ ς̣ ̣ [..? hι†ια[ρ]α ϝιλ̣ σιι̣ ọς ̣ υπαρ και ανιιας̣ οσα περ(̣ ι)ι[στα]τυ ̣ Wοικ[. .] The author would like to thank Sally Thomason, Craig Melchert, Leonard Neidorf and the anonymous reviewer for their valuable input, as well as Greg Nagy and everyone at the Center for Hellenic Studies for allowing me to use their library and for their wonderful hospitality during the early stages of pre- paring this manuscript.

  • Intertextuality and Symbolism in the Legend of Hagia Sophia Vencer A
    Defeating Solomon: Intertextuality and Symbolism in the Legend of Hagia Sophia Vencer a Salomón: intertextualidad y simbolismo en la leyenda de Santa Sofía VICTORIA GERHOLD Summary 1. Introduction 2. The Emperor, the Angels and the Church 3. Hagia Sophia, the Final Temple 4. Conclusion Abstract: One of the main literary topics of the Byzantine legend of Hagia Sophia is the comparison between the church built by Emperor Justinian and the temple of Solomon. Previous studies have shown that this topic is elaborated through an intertextual connection between the legendary description of the construction of Hagia Sophia and the biblical description of the construction of the temple of Jerusalem (2 Kings 24: 1, 25; 3 Kings 5: 15-9: 25; 1 Paralipomena 21: 1-8: 16). In the present article, we will argue that the legend also presents intertextual connections with other biblical texts (such as Ezekiel) and even para- biblical texts (such as the Testament of Solomon). Keywords: Hagia Sophia; Solomon; legend; Testament of Solomon; Ezekiel Resumen: Uno de los principales temas literarios de la leyenda de Santa Sofía es la comparación entre esa iglesia (re)construida por el Emperador Justiniano y el templo de Salomón. Estudios previos han demostrado que la elaboración literaria de este tema estuvo basada en una relación intertextual entre la descripción legendaria de la construcción de Santa Sofía y la descripción bíblica la construcción del templo de Jerusalén (2 Reyes 24:1:25; 3 Reyes 5:15-9:25; 1 Paralipomena 21:1-8:16). En el presente trabajo propondremos que la leyenda presenta además conexiones intertextuales con otros textos bíblicos (como Ezequiel) e incluso para-bíblicos (como el Testamento de Salomón).

  • Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World
    EJIW Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World 5 volumes including index Executive Editor: Norman A. Stillman Th e goal of the Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World is to cover an area of Jewish history, religion, and culture which until now has lacked its own cohesive/discreet reference work. Th e Encyclopedia aims to fi ll the gap in academic reference literature on the Jews of Muslims lands particularly in the late medieval, early modern and modern periods. Th e Encyclopedia is planned as a four-volume bound edition containing approximately 2,750 entries and 1.5 million words. Entries will be organized alphabetically by lemma title (headword) for general ease of access and cross-referenced where appropriate. Additionally the Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World will contain a special edition of the Index Islamicus with a sole focus on the Jews of Muslim lands. An online edition will follow aft er the publication of the print edition.

Received: 12/11/2015 Accepted: 20/01/2016 Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The study investigates the chemical composition and production technology of a set of thirty-nine glass samples from the archaeological site of Al-Fudein, northeast Jordan. The samples cover a long span of time dating back to the Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic (Umayyad) periods. The X-Ray Fluorescence chemi- cal analyses revealed that the samples are soda-lime-silica natron based glasses. The majority of the samples are most probably of the Levantine type I glass, where the silica might come from the Syrian-Palestinian coast. Manganese and copper are the probable generators of the distinguished purple and turquoise colors. The high content of magnesia and potash of 4 Roman and 1 Umayyad samples might indicate the continuity of using plant ash fluxes in certain production centers during the Roman-Umayyad periods or pointing at a possible limited (but not documented before) inter-regional trade of Sasanian glass during the Roman peri- od.

  • How Sephardi Settlers Brought a New Cultural Energy to Europe's Cities
    HISTORY of an expanding Castilian state while also responding to the challenges posed by their proselytising Christian overlords. Toledan Jews played unique roles in the Castilian translation movements that transmitted the scientific heritage of classical antiquity and the Arabs to the West. At the same time, they melded Islamic and Gothic motifs in fresco and manuscript illuminations. Ashkenazi and Sephardi halachic traditions conversed with one another in Toledo’s sprawling Jewish quarter. Sephardi civilisation was a rich tapestry of many threads at the end of the 15th century. But in 1492, when the expulsions occurred, this did not mark the end of the Sephardi Jews: it ushered in a new chapter in the history of the Jews of Spain and their far-flung descendants. As the Jews sought to re-establish Sepharad on foreign soils in the 16th and 17th centuries, they adapted to new lands and cultures while seeking meaning in the tragedy that had befallen them. In 16th-century Safed in particular, the exiles of Iberia sought to explain their Clockwise from far left: Emanuel de Witte’s interior of SEPHARDI RENAISSANCE trauma of expulsion.

Previously, Dumbarton Oaks dissemi- nated only bare lists of facts and figures without accompanying prose. The full run of such accounts, reaching back to 1989, can be inspected on the website. For a decade now, a different kind of compendium has been offered yearly: a historical record that doubles as a celebration of imaginative industry. If nothing else, I aim in this statement to voice the appreciation I feel for my colleagues at Dumbarton Oaks. Without their commitment and daily contributions, all dreams relating to aca- demic programs and physical plans would stay vaporous nothings. My collaborators in this wonderful establishment encompass dozens of extraordinarily experienced, talented, and creative individuals who not only come to work with a spring in their step but who, through their performance, put the same resilience into the strides of those they assist.
