Life is short, art long: The art of healing in Byzantium.= Hayat kisa, sanat uzun: Bizans'ta sifa sanati. [Exhibition catalogue].
New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 384 p., color and b/w ills. 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 the 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. Contents; Preface; Dream Healing: From Asklepios to the Physician Saints, Vincent Déroche; Healing Miracles of Christ and the Saints, Nancy P. Sevcenko; Light, Water, and Wondrous Creatures: Supernatural Forces for Healing, Brigitte Pitarakis; Water and Healing in Constantinople Reading the Architectural Remains, Robert G. Ousterhout; Constantinople: City of Miraculous Healings, Alice-Mary Talbot; Medical Arts, Erudition, and Practice in the Byzantine Capital, Marie-Hélène Congourdeau; Contextualizing the Art of Healing by Byzantine Physicians, Petros Bouras-Vallianatos; Between the Past and the East Symeon Seth's Nutritional Advice to Michael VII Doukas, Frederick Lauritzen; The Manuscript Tradition of Dioscorides' De Materia Medica from Byzantium to the Arabs, Marie Cronier; Dioscorides and Beyond Imported Medicinal Plants in the Byzantine Empire, Koray Durak; Empowering Healing: Substances, Senses, and Rituals Brigitte Pitarakis; The Embodied Self in Byzantine Culture, Christos Merantzas; Catalogue; Bibliography; Photographic Credits; Map.

Karsidan karsiya. MÖ 3. Bin'de Kiklad Adalari ve Bati Anadolu. [Exhibition catalogue]. 24 Mayis - 28 Agustos 2011.
New Turkish Paperback. 4to. (27 x 24 cm). Edition in Turkish. 408 p., color ills. Karsidan karsiya. MÖ 3. Bin'de Kiklad Adalari ve Bati Anadolu. [Exhibition catalogue]. 24 Mayis - 28 Agustos 2011. Sabanci University Sakip Sabanci Museum (SSM) hosted a very important exhibition under the main sponsorship of CIMSA. The exhibition, entitled "Across - The Cyclades and Western Anatolia During the 3rd Millennium BC" was composed of artifacts from various Turkish museums as well as the National Archaeological Museum of Athens and the N P Goulandris Foundation Museum of Cycladic Art. The exhibition examined the relations between Anatolia, where the first steps towards civilization took place, and the nearby Cyclades Islands in the Aegean that gave rise to reciprocal influence that created two cultures which while similar in many respects, nonetheless maintained distinctive regional characteristics. The exhibition that also marked the first official cooperation between museums from Turkey and Greece was open to visit between 24th of May ¿ 28th of August 2011. A 14 meters long exact replica model of the Cycladic Ships, stood out as one of the most interesting pieces of the exhibition. The replica showed the impact of the Cycladic Ships on the interaction between the two cultures, as the ships were the only way of transportation between the two sides of the Aegean for a long time. The ships were built by Ankara University Research Center for Maritime Archaeology as a part of the "Cycladic Ships Revival Project" and without any binder materials or nails, by taking advantage of the swelling nature of the wood when goes into contact with water.
