Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Profusely Illustrated (illustrator). Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Only fragments remain of the Great Moravian Empire, yet they reveal a rich culture that thrived long ago in a region bounded by the Danube, Morava, Elbe, and Tisza rivers, covering parts of present-day Czechoslovakia. This civilization existed from the Slavic migration (A.D. 450-550) until its annexation by the Bohemian Empire in A.D. 973. Although little architectural remains and only fragments of wall paintings survive, numerous artifacts showcase the sophistication and technical skill of its handicrafts. Prior to these discoveries, early Moravians were thought to be primitive; however, significant finds at Holiare, Zelovce, and other sites have debunked this notion. It is now clear that the Moravians were advanced, influenced by diverse cultures such as Greco-Roman, Persian, Christian, and Byzantine. The artifacts reveal the artistic sensibilities of a nation at a crossroads of change. This opulent volume features a stunning collection of Great Moravian artifacts, including gold and silver jewelry, bronze belt ornaments, and pottery. An introductory essay by scholar Jan Dekan contextualizes the items historically and culturally, while detailed maps illustrate the evolution of Moravia, complemented by a chronological survey of major events. The book includes 178 full-color plates, eight black-and-white photographs of archaeological sites, and numerous illustrations.
