Hardback. Condition: New. Christian-Islamic encounters through religious arts, architecture, and material culture in the medieval eraThe coexistence of Christianity and Islam in the medieval Mediterranean led to an interchange of knowledge in architecture and material culture that went well beyond religious and geographical boundaries. The use of Islamic objects in Christian contexts, the conversion of churches into mosques, and the mobility of craftsmen are only some manifestations of this process. From crosses found in mosques to European-Christian coins with pseudo-shahada inscriptions, medieval material culture is rich with visual evidence of the two faiths intermingling in both individual objects and monuments. In this volume, thirteen international scholars explore various aspects of pan-Mediterranean Christian-Islamic encounters in material culture and art, from textiles to precious oils, and from metalwork to ceramics, covering most of the Mediterranean, as well as parts of its extended hinterland, from Spain and Italy to Egypt and Georgia. Within this frame, one of the most relevant, yet underexplored lines of investigation is that of the "aesthetic space," the notion that aesthetic pleasure transcends boundaries, paving the way to a cross-religious experience and appreciation. "Indeed, God is beautiful, and He loves beauty," as mentioned in a Hadith narration, a universal cry of visual beauty that resonates with all cultures and civilizations.Contributors:Paschalis Androudis Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, GreeceFaruk Bilici Inalco, Paris, FranceMaria Bormpoudaki Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports, Piraeus, GreeceSami Luigi De Giosa University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab EmiratesHélène Fragaki University of Augsburg, Augsburg, GermanyHani Hamza Independent scholar, Cairo, EgyptAna Cabrera Lafuente Instituto de Turismo de España (Turespaña/Tourspain), Madrid, Spain Alison Ohta Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, London, United KingdomRichard Piran McClary University of York, York, United Kingdom Nino Simonishvili Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, GeorgiaNikolaos Vryzidis University of West Attica, Athens, GreeceArielle Winnik Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, United States.…

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. 25pp. Estratto da ORIENTALIA CHRISTIANA PERIODICA 84 (2018), fasc. I-II --- This essay offers an overview of Ottoman luxury textiles woven for the Christian market with a focus on their status as remnants of Christian-Islamic symbiosis. From the evidence available it can be suggested that these silks were probably produced by a religiously mixed workforce who catered to a Christian demand both in the Ottoman Empire and abroad. Furthermore, it will be seen that their pluralist visual language drew on elements from diverse artistic traditions, creating patterns of artistic confluence. If they were not plain, these patterns usually blended Christian iconography with Ottoman motifs. Essentially, by discussing a specific production's context and style I intend to illuminate another corner of Ottoman Christian material culture and discuss some aspects of cultural history which arise.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This edited collection opens a window into the world of Byzantine and post-Byzantine textiles by exploring the different traditions that developed in the Eastern Mediterranean from Late Antiquity to the Early Modern era. The book's editors and contributors have created a complex scientific canvas, based on their complementary interests and expertise. The book, which aspires to fill a significant void in Greek literature, is characterized by this spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration; it offers an overview of the most important local textile products, together with the Eastern and Western imports that used to reach the busy markets of Byzantium and Ottoman Greece. The aim is to showcase this important, yet still obscure, facet of material culture. Within this frame, its chapters discover different aspects of economic, social, religious and artistic history; most of them interwoven in the study of textiles, much like a loom's warp and weft for the production of elaborate designs.…

304 p., 10 b/w ill. + 105 colour ill., 178 x 254 mm, English/Francais, Paperback, . ISBN 9782503587738. The book contains published papers of the conference 'Textiles & Identity in the Medieval and Early Modern Mediterranean: Paradigms of Contexts and Cross-Cultural Exchanges' of the British School at Athens held at the (Benaki) Museum of Islamic Art in 2016, as well as some new contributions. The focus in this wide-ranging collection of studies by key scholars in the field is on textiles and their functions in various Mediterranean contexts (and beyond) during medieval and post-medieval times (ca. 10th-19th c.). The scope of the contributions encompasses archaeological, anthropological and art historical perspectives on a great variety of subjects, such as textiles from the Byzantine Empire and the Medieval Islamic World (e.g. Spain, Mamluk Egypt, Seljuk Anatolia), as well as the production and use of textiles in Italy, the Ottoman Empire, Armenia and Ethiopia. The volume offers a state-of-the-art of an often still hardly known area of study of textiles as historical and cultural sources of information, which makes it essential reading for scholars and a larger audience alike. The book includes contributions by Laura Rodr guez Peinado, Ana Cabrera-Lafuente, Avinoam Shalem, Scott Redford, Maria Sardi, Vera-Simone Schulz, Nikolaos Vryzidis, Marielle Martiniani-Reber, Elena Papastavrou, Jacopo Gnisci and Dickran Kouymjian. Nikolaos Vryzidis received his PhD from SOAS, University of London, with a thesis on Greek clerical costume of the Ottoman period. He has already published on the subject in journals like Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, Convivium, Iran, JOTSA and Orientalia Christiana Periodica. His research interests are centred on material culture of religion, cross-cultural encounters in the Medieval Mediterranean, and Byzantine-Islamic interchange. 0 g.…
