Using Images in Late Antiquity
Author: Stine Birk
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1782972625
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Fifteen papers focus on the active and dynamic uses of images during the first millennium AD. They bring together an international group of scholars who situate the period’s visual practices within their political, religious, and social contexts. The contributors present a diverse range of evidence, including mosaics, sculpture, and architecture from all parts of the Mediterranean, from Spain in the west to Jordan in the east. Contributions span from the depiction of individuals on funerary monuments through monumental epigraphy, Constantine’s expropriation and symbolic re-use of earlier monuments, late antique collections of Classical statuary, and city personifications in mosaics to the topic of civic prosperity during the Theodosian period and dynastic representation during the Umayyad dynasty. Together they provide new insights into the central role of visual culture in the constitution of late antique societies.

Maxima culpa

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
In una Verona letargica per il caldo estivo, Loreta Assensi, giovane ispettore di polizia, indaga su alcuni strani episodi accaduti tra le boscose colline che sovrastano la città scaligera: ragazzate e nulla più secondo i suoi superiori. Nessuno sospetta quanto la sensuale investigatrice sta per scoprire. Un brutale omicidio macchia di sangue i sentieri che corrono tra le ville della Verona bene, un'ombra maligna che serpeggia tra i pini ed i cipressi delle Torricelle. Lassù, dove lo sguardo abbraccia un panorama fatto di campanili, croci e santità, la fede di un'intera comunità parrocchiale vacilla alle lusinghe del peccato e nasconde verità inconfessabili tra le pieghe della devozione. Un'indagine senza respiro che, tra piste internazionali e mitologiche visioni di un oriente biblico, racconta l'eterna lotta tra il bene ed il male.

The Material and the Ideal
Author: Anthony Cutler
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047431669
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Reflecting the diverse interests of Jean-Michel Spieser, his colleagues, students and friends contribute papers focused on topics ranging from the changing role of the apse and the layout of late antique basilicas to holy relics said to have been brought from Constantinople. Many of the articles address the nature and impact of specific media - goldsmiths' work, ivory and ceramics - while a group of highly original, broader studies is devoted to such larger issues as ritual display in the tenth century, the metaphorical significance of pottery and an interrogation of the supposed influence of Byzantine icons on Western medieval art. Throughout, the achievement of the authors is to move from concrete observations of particular objects to the larger meaning they held for those who commissioned and made use of them.
