Istanbul: Istanbul Research Institute, 2022. Large 8vo., 399 p., b/w and color ills. Paperback. New ISBN: 9786057120533 CATALOG: Byzance KEYWORDS: Byzantium Istanbul… - Constantinople At a time when classical antiquity continued to be the main attraction, drawing Western scholars to the Eastern Mediterranean, Byzantine history and archaeology emerged as a new field of competitive scientific exploration in the former Byzantine capital. Some of the major themes and issues addressed at Discovering Byzantium in Istanbul are scholars' motivations and incentives for studying the Byzantine Empire, the means by which they accessed the monuments and material wealth of Constantinople, what they were allowed to see and under what circumstances and conditions, and the networks they established among themselves and with authorities from governmental and cultural institutions. The activities of newly founded foreign institutes and museums are also examined, along with scientific competition at the international level, including the reactions of Turkish scholars. The period covered by Discovering Byzantium in Istanbul begins with the emergence of major archaeological expeditions in the Eastern Mediterranean and is rich in major historical events and findings that brought the Ottoman Empire and the modern Turkish Republic to the fore. It ends with the International Congress of Byzantine Studies convening its tenth conference, for the first time meeting in Istanbul.

[Exhibition catalogue].… Texts by Holger A. Klein, Robert G. Ousterhout, Natalia Teteriatnikov, Dimiter Angelov, Jeffrey M. Featherstone. Displayed at Pera Museum, Kariye, from Theodoros Metokhites to Thomas Whittemore; One Monument, Two Monumental Personalities is comprised largely of objects and documents on loan from abroad, the exhibition narrates the story of Kraiye, one of the globally renowned monuments of Istanbul, as well as the extraordinary tales of two of its 'builders', who lived six centuries apart. At one end stands fellow townsman Theodoros Metokhites, Byzantine thinker, poet and politician, who shaped Kariye at the turn of the 14th century and adorned it with priceless mosaics and frescoes. On the other end is American renaissance man and archaeologist Thomas Whittemore, who passionately and meticulously restored this structure to its former grandeur in the 1940s, consequently bestowing it to the world of culture and art as a museum. In between lies the unconventional story of a structure shaped by the footprints of these remarkable men. The former church of the monastery of Christ of the Chora, better known today as the Kariye Camisi or Kariye Museum, is one of the most impressive Byzantine monuments to survive in the modern city of İstanbul. Founded probably as early as the sixth century, rebuilt by members of the imperial family in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, and splendidly restored by the Byzantine humanist, poet, and prime minister Theodore Metochites between 1316 and 1321, the church of the Chora Monastery is today considered one of the most outstanding examples of Late Byzantine art and architecture to survive. While the building itself was already known as the 'Mosaic Mosque' during the nineteenth century, the fame of the church's rich and complex interior decoration rests by and large on an extensive restoration campaign initiated by the American scholar and philanthropist Thomas Whittemore, founder and director of the Byzantine Institute of America from 1930 to his death in 1950. It was the aim of this exhibition, to explore the history of the "Kariye" through its representation over the centuries, and to pay homage to the two men who were responsible for its restoration and conservation in the fourteenth and twentieth centuries respectively: Theodore Metochites and Thomas Whittemore. The exhibition furthermore aimed to celebrate the work of those who have helped to preserve the architecture of the Kariye and its extraordinary cycle of mosaics and frescoes during the 1940s and 1950s.

The famous aphorism of Hippocrates-'life is short, art long'-stands at the heart of this exhibition, which examines the art and practice of healing in Byzantium from Roman times to the late Byzantine period. It traces th…e concurrent methods of healing-faith, magic, and rational medicine-from the foundations laid by Apollo and Asklepios, healers of antiquity, as well as Hippocrates and Dioscorides, the founders of rational medicine. The fascinating coexistence of a belief in demons as the primary cause of illness and a rational perception of disease, grounded in Hippocratic teachings, come together in the protagonists of the "art of healing"-the physicians, druggists, saints, holy men, and magicians who healed the sick. The daily rituals involved in maintaining and pursuing well-being, protecting against demons, purifying the body and soul offer a glimpse into the daily life of the Byzantines. The exhibition catalogue illustrates the influence of Byzantium's ancient cultural heritage on religious and rational thought as well as contemporary scientific developments and innovations from around the Mediterranean. The catalogue is one of the most updated and extensive publication on the history and art of healing in Byzantium with essays written by the acclaimed academics and with various works, some of them being published for the first time.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2017. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Reliure éditeur cartonnée pleine toile rouge . Format in-8°( 24,8 x 18 cm )( 1526 gr ). ----- XXI-737 pages .************************** Présentation éditeur : "" Catherine Jolivet-Lévy a été l étudiante d Anatole Frolow qui fut…mon prédécesseur à la chaire d art byzantin de l université Paris. À la mort de ce dernier, je fus appelé à le remplacer en compagnie de Pauline Donceel-Voûte qui fut, peu après, choisie comme directrice de l Institut néerlandais d Istanbul et démissionna de son poste. Catherine me parut toute désignée pour la remplacer, d autant que nos champs d activité, l archéologie de l Antiquité tardive de mon côté, l histoire de l art de Byzance du sien, se complétaient parfaitement. Ainsi commença une collaboration pédagogique et scientifique qui fut efficace et harmonieuse car elle était fondée sur le recours aux documents, leur insertion dans leur contexte historique, culturel et souvent liturgique, ainsi que sur une méfiance commune des a priori stylistiques. Sa nomination, après son habilitation à diriger des recherches en 1996, comme professeur à Paris puis comme directrice d études à l École Pratique des Hautes Études (Ve section) lui permit d assurer pleinement un rôle éminent dans la formation à la recherche de jeunes chercheurs. Catherine avait choisi de se tourner pour sa thèse vers la peinture de Cappadoce, qu elle centra sur le décor absidal, plongeant ainsi au c ur du système iconographique, de son programme et des intentions particulières exprimées dans tel ou tel édifice. Soutenue en 1981, sous le titre La peinture byzantine en Cappadoce. Problèmes d ensemble et introduction à l étude de l iconographie absidale, elle fut publiée par les éditions du CNRS en 1991 sous le titre Les églises byzantines de Cappadoce. Le programme iconographique de l abside et de ses abords (592 pages). L ouvrage reçut de vifs éloges, notamment de Charles Delvoye qui signa là son dernier compte rendu, inachevé, dans Byzantion.

The Hippodrome was the largest and one of the most significant buildings in Byzantine Constantinople. Located in the heart of the city beside the Great Palace, it was not only an arena for chariot races -the most exciting and popular spectator sport from the 4th to the 7th century- but also a place where emperors were created, military victories celebrated, and rulers collectively acclaimed by the people.Atmeydan , on the other hand, became one of the most important and lively public spaces of Ottoman stanbul. The Hippodrome/ Atmeydan : stanbul's Stage of History exhibition examined this very special and colorful square of the city, which has also hosted a variety of consequential incidents during the foundation of the Republic, through artefacts, architectural drawings, photographs and daily life objects, and took the stanbulites on a tour of their city's different recollection spanning from the 4th to the 20th century. An amazing and impressive publication that brings the Hippodrome (and Istanbul in general) to life through archival bw photographs, vivid color plates, extensive text and annotations. If you're a fan of Ottoman history, you need this catalogue!!! Pera Museum Publication No. 39. VG- contents; covers lightly wrinkled and with some rubbing.
