‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, iv + 370 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:20 b/w, 76 col., 8 tables b/w., 10 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503587844.‎

‎Summary Monasteries contributed to every aspect of life during the middle ages, from the structures monks built, to land management, craft production to the intellectual and spiritual life of the medieval world. There were more than 300 orders or congregations in existence during the middle ages, yet scholarship considers only a small number of them (notably Cistercians and Cluniacs), and privileges selected sites, such as Mont Saint-Michel, San Francesco in Assisi or Christ Church in Canterbury. This volume considers the history and architecture of other congregations that are essential to a more complete understanding of monasticism in the European middle ages: Augustinians, lesser known Benedictines, Carthusians, Celestines, Clarissans, and Tironensians in France, as well as the Camaldolese and Vallombrosans in Italy.

‎Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries in Studies of the Viking Age‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 365 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 10 col., 1 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, 1 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503592961.‎

‎Summary What happens when scholars cross outside the perceived 'boundaries' of their discipline? What problems arise when a scholar trained in one field employs materials or methodologies from an adjacent subject area, engaging with new sources, research methodologies, and traditions, and how can such issues be resolved? Taking as its starting point the increasing shift towards interdisciplinarity seen within Viking-age studies, this collection of essays aims to explore the benefits and pitfalls that can arise from crossing disciplinary borders in this area, and to gain new knowledge about how to address issues that have occurred in previous examples of interdisciplinary combinations. The volume draws together contributions from authors in different disciplines, among them philology, history, archaeology, literary studies, folklore studies and history of religion, in order to hold a constructive and multi-perspective discussion on the benefits and issues arising from interdisciplinary research in studies of the Viking Age. Together, these chapters aim to bridge the gap that often exists between scholars from adjacent fields of research, and in doing so, to stimulate the trend in interdisciplinary approaches to research that can improve our understanding of the past.

‎Summary The Hellenistic world, with its many new cultural trends and traditions, has often proved a challenging period for scholars. In the wake of changing political, religious, cultural, economic, and social conceptions and practices, gender roles and notions also underwent significant change, leading to the emergence of strong female figures. Up to now, however, no major encompassing research work on elite Hellenistic women has been published. This volume aims to fill this historiographical gap by gathering together contributions covering a wide range of geographical, chronological, and cultural backgrounds. While mostly focused on royal women, the chapters included here also seek to provide readers with an accurate and diverse description of the female experience in the Hellenistic period. The contributors to this book, both renowned scholars and new voices in the discipline, together advocate for a fresh approach that goes beyond the often problematic approaches of earlier historiography and provides a new understanding of elite women in the period.

‎Summary Based on the evidence of artistic production and material culture this collective volume aims at exploring cross-cultural relations and interaction between Greeks and Latins in late medieval Greece in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade. Fourteen essays discuss mostly new and unpublished archaeological and artistic material, including architecture, sculpture, wall-paintings and icons, pottery and other small finds, but also the evidence of music and poetry. Through the surviving material of these artistic activities this volume explores the way Byzantines and Latins lived side by side on the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries and traces the mechanisms that led to the emergence of the new, composite world of the Latin East. Issues of identity, patronage, papal policy, the missionary activities of the Latin religious orders and the reactions and responses of the Byzantines are also re-considered, offering fresh insights into and a better understanding of the various manifestations of the interrelationship between the two ethnicities, confessions and cultures.

‎Summary Sympozjum Egejskie: Papers in Aegean Archaeology is a peer-reviewed sub-series of Warsaw Studies in Archaeology. It has been designed to fulfil the role of a platform for presenting and introducing a wide range of new research approaches and themes within the broad area of Aegean Archaeology. This is primarily achieved through showcasing the work of newcomers to the discipline, in other words those scholars who are currently at the beginning of their research career in the field of Aegean Archaeology, as well as scholars working outside the traditional university structure such as independent scholars, professional field archaeologists, museum curators, and conservators. It is our hope that this series will serve as a concise guide to the most recent research undertaken by early career scholars and the diverse and inspiring new trends in the archaeology of the Prehistoric Aegean, as well as shining a light on the future direction of the discipline.

‎Summary This book stems from a conference on Livy held at the University of Padua, on the occasion of the bimillenary of the historian's death (6-10 November 2017). The aim of the volume is to shed new light on lesser-known aspects of Livy's historiography, by approaching his work from a broad and interdisciplinary perspective. The papers, written by established scholars as well as by younger researchers, span from classical philology to ancient history and archaeology, also incorporating an in-depth investigation of Livy's reception through the centuries (from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era) and different fields of the humanities (philosophy, political thought, figurative arts).

‎Summary This volume presents recent archaeological research on the agriculture and society of al-Andalus during the Middle Ages, especially from the perspective of 'hydraulic archaeology' ? an avenue of research developed by Spanish researchers which focuses on the analysis of irrigation systems created by Islamic colonists from the eighth century onwards. More recently, this research perspective has incorporated the analysis of other agricultural systems, such as dryland agriculture and pasturelands. All of these agricultural regimes are complementary in peasant-led subsistence agricultural systems. From a methodological perspective, this archaeological approach is highly innovative, and uses a wide range of techniques (aerial photography, cartographical analysis, field survey, archival research, and archaeological excavation) in order to outline the size and boundaries of cultivation and grazing areas, to define specific plots of land and the related road networks, and to identify other associated facilities, such as watermills. In connection with these topics, several issues are discussed: the earmarking of rural or urban farming areas for irrigation, draining, or dryland agriculture; the process of construction and the subsequent evolution of these farming areas; the transformations undergone by these areas after the feudal conquest; and, finally, the identification of pasturelands and the analysis of the evidence concerning their management.

‎Summary This ground-breaking volume offers the first publication of a major new monument of Roman power in Asia Minor: sixty-six painted marble frieze panels from the city of Nicomedia with an excellent archaeological and architectural context from the Tetrarchic period. During the rule of Diocletian, Nicomedia was the centre of the Late Roman Empire in the east, and the reliefs of the frieze, which decorate an imperial complex built at this time, represent an astonishing combination of imperial, mythological, and agonistic scenes. The reliefs found in Nicomedia fill an important gap in our knowledge between the Severan and Constantinian periods, and provide the East Roman Empire with a defining monument that can be set beside ? and in striking counterpoint to ? the Arch of Constantine in Rome. Published here in full colour and fully documented, the Nicomedia Frieze is, in this hugely important scholarly monograph, brought to the public for the very first time.

‎Summary The Bayuda, although an arid desert located in modern-day Sudan, has nonetheless been inhabited, farmed, worshipped in, and fought over by humans from the Palaeolithic onwards. Yet despite the longevity of its human occupation, the region has only in recent years become the focus of more intensive scholarly research. This volume, the first in a series dedicated to exploring the archaeology and history of Northeast Africa, aims to build on this trend by drawing together the very latest archaeological research and data, and shedding light on how the Bayuda Desert and its environs were transformed into a cultural landscape. The contributions gathered here introduce, examine, and (re)assess a number of important issues, many of which are new in the archaeology of Nubia, as well as considering them against a broader comparative background. From climate change over the past millennia - and its far-reaching consequences in the present - through to an examination of the cultural influences of the Kingdom of Kerma, and from analysis of funeral rites through to interpretations of rock art, forgotten trade routes, and the commerce in cattle and slaves, this insightful volume offers a wealth of new information into the history of ancient Nubia.

‎Summary The study of the movement of 'things' - the exchange of objects as gifts or through trade, the itineraries that they followed when on the move, and their changing importance from location to location - can offer unique insights into our understanding of past societies; and archaeology plays a vital role in allowing such movements to be traced. Nonetheless the circulation of objects across time, and between peoples and places, has long been neglected as a field of research in its own right. This volume aims to address this gap in scholarship by drawing on recent archaeological research to provide a detailed study of the moment of objects across Europe in the late medieval and early modern period. The contributions gathered here trace the interactions between peoples, ideas, and objects in order to explore the impact of movement both on the material things themselves, and on the people who manufactured, exchanged, or used such goods. The volume draws on a wide range of archaeological evidence to explore subjects as varied as production and transport, modes of trade, the connections between trade and religion, and the emotional connections between things and people. Together, they offer a pioneering approach to our understanding of objects and their movement in the past. TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Illustrations Introduction - SERGIO ESCRIBANO-RUIZ, MAGDALENA E.

‎Summary Ancient seal impressions that were once employed to seal a variety of objects, in particular different kinds of documents, can offer a wealth of information not only about iconography, but also about the dissemination of ideas and beliefs. Their usage provides evidence about the continuation, transformation, and mutual influences that impacted upon local traditions, as well as shed light on administrative and bureaucratic practices. Drawing together in-depth contributions by specialists in the field, this timely volume - the first of its kind in twenty-five years - offers new insights into seals and their importance during the relatively understudied Hellenistic period (c. 325-25 BCE), as well as contextualizing this subject through a focus on related fields such as glyptics and numismatics. The twelve chapters included here explore the importance of hoards, among them those from Delos, Doliche, Edfu, Kedesh, Pistiros, Seleucia-on-the-Tigris, Selinunte, and Uruk, and examine themes that range from the persistence of pharaonic imagery on Ptolemaic sealings and Greek influence on Sicilian seals, to the survival of Mesopotamian traditions on Parthian clay tablets and the use of Hellenistic iconography on Bactrian finger rings. Through this multifaceted approach, this volume is able to elucidate the daily realities of social, public, and private archival practices that went beyond the political and elite levels of life, and to illuminate aspects of Hellenistic history that have long remained obscure or inaccessible.

‎Summary Archaeological periodization schemes of material culture development in Northern Mesopotamia from 7th to 5th centuries BCE traditionally refer to the sequence of dynasties. In particular, they highlight historical events related to distinguished members of the royal houses of the Sargonids, Urartians, Medes, Teispids, and Achaemenids. However, whereas the repercussions these Iron Age empires had on the history of the Near East are undeniable, the impact they had on the material culture and its development is not always equally tangible in the archaeological findings. The latter are not infrequently characterized by continuity rather than by incisive changes, as recent studies and re-evaluations of key sites in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Armenia show. This publication uses case studies to address problems that arises when the archaeological (relative concept) and historical (absolute concept) methodology use different intrinsic values of time to reconstruct history and to understand cultural material development. Arch ologische Periodisierungsschemata der materiellen Kulturentwicklung Nordmesopotamiens in der Zeit vom 7. bis 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. orientieren sich traditionell an historische Z suren, die mit der Abfolge von Herrschaftsdynastien wie den Sargoniden, Urart ern, Medern, Teispiden und Ach meniden verbunden sind. Gleichwohl die Bedeutung dieser eisenzeitlichen Herrscherh user auf die politische Geschichte Vorderasiens unbestreitbar ist, ist ihr Einfluss auf die materielle Kulturentwicklung nicht im gleichen Ma e bestimmbar. Letztere ist n mlich fter durch Kontinuit t als durch einschneidende Ver nderungen gepr gt, wie rezente Untersuchungen und Neubewertungen wichtiger arch ologischer Befunde in Syrien, Irak, Iran und Armenien aufgezeigt haben. Der vorliegende Band weist anhand von Fallbeispielen auf die Problematik hin, die bei abweichenden Bedeutungszuweisungen der Dimension Zeit in arch ologischen (relatives Konzept) und historischen (absolutes Konzept) Betrachtungsweisen f r die Rekonstruktion der Geschichte und der Entwicklung der materiellen Kultur auftreten k nnen.

‎Summary The fifth volume of the ARCANE series presents an up-to-date and richly illustrated synthesis of the archaeology of the 3rd millennium BC in the Upper Tigris region of Northern Iraq and South-eastern Turkey, the first to fully include the results of international rescue excavations carried out in both countries in the second half of the 20th century in the framework of dam projects. Written by well-known experts, it revises all aspects of the material culture and history, and proposes a new periodisation and terminology for the region. It thus poses a sound basis for the evaluation of the recently revived archaeological research in Iraqi Kurdistan. Together with the other volumes of the ARCANE series, it will represent an indispensable reference for students as well as for scholars of the Ancient Near East, in particular for those interested in the Early Bronze Age and in inter-regional connections.

‎Summary In the thirteenth century, crusading armies unleashed a relentless holy war against the pagan tribal groups of the Eastern Baltic, whose territories were conquered and reorganized into Christian states run by the Teutonic Order, bishops, and their cathedral chapters. Castles were built, towns established, and colonists encouraged to settle under the leadership of the new Christian theocracy. But the changes introduced alongside Christianity not only transformed the culture of eastern Baltic societies, but also had a profound and - for the Baltic tribes, who saw many aspects of the natural world as sacred - deeply significant impact on the local environment. This seminal period in the environmental history of north-eastern Europe has been the focus of the ERC-funded research programme, 'The Ecology of Crusading', which explored the physical and conceptual ecological transformations associated with warfare, colonization, and religious conversion. This is the first of two Terra Sacra volumes, which share the aim of changing our understanding of the environmental impact of crusading and colonization in northeastern Europe. The present volume provides a detailed inter-disciplinary comparison of the environmental transformations associated with the emergence of the crusader states of Livonia and Prussia. It draws on and integrates a range of archaeological, paleoenvironmental, historical, and cartographic sources in order to highlight the diverse impact of colonization and landscape reorganization that followed in the wake of the Baltic Crusades. The companion Terra Sacra volume complements this survey by presenting a number of case studies from across the eastern Baltic region.

‎Art and Archaeology of Lusignan and Venetian Cyprus (1192-1571). Recent Research and New Discoveries‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, iv + 441 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:202 b/w, 16 col., 4 tables b/w., Languages: English, French. ISBN 9782503578033.‎

‎Summary From a Byzantine province to an independent Latin kingdom under the Lusignan dynasty (11929/27-1474/89) and a colonial outpost of the Venetian maritime empire (1474/89-1571), the island of Cyprus, at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, is blessed with a rich and diverse medieval cultural heritage. Its monumental art and its material culture - architecture, fresco and icon painting, woodcarving, metalwork, glazed ceramics, and so on - exist at the crossroads of several artistic traditions often thought to represent mutually exclusive visual languages, such as the late medieval Gothic and Byzantine styles (in their respective variants), the local art of the Levant, and the classicizing mode of the Italian Renaissance. It is precisely this seemingly 'composite' nature of medieval Cypriot artistic production that, over the years, has both divided and united scholars attempting to match styles and forms to the patronage of the various religious, ethnic, and linguistic groups (Latins, Greeks, Syrians, Armenians, and others) making up the island's complex social fabric. The seventeen essays in this volume offer a snapshot of the most recent scholarship on the art, archaeology, and material culture of Cyprus under Latin rule. Established and emerging art historians and archaeologists, both trained Byzantinists and specialists of European medieval art, come together to re-appraise the field in the light of current research, put forward new evidence from fresh archival, archaeological, or archaeometric research, and propose novel interpretations destined to blaze exciting new pathways to future study of this fascinating body of material.

‎Le village de Kafr 'Aqab. tude monographique d'un site du gebel Wastani (Massif calcaire de la Syrie du Nord). Topographie et architecture‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 487 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:502 b/w, 6 col., 2 tables b/w., 5 maps b/w, Languages: French, English. ISBN 9782503583440.‎

‎Summary The new monographic study of the village of Kafr 'Aqab is a contribution to broadening the field of research into the western part of the Limestone Massif in Northern Syria which, until now, had been the subject of only limited interest. The ruins of the site are mainly spread out over a vast rocky headland which is strategically situated at the northern extremity of the gebel Wastani near the Orontes valley in the inland region of Antioch. These ruins reveal the existence of an ancient village with over 80 homes, various communal constructions, a monastery, two ecclesiastic complexes and a fortified building. The study is based on a detailed analysis of surface ruins and has enabled the evolution of the village to be precisely determined from its first phase of occupation between the IInd and IIIrd century until it was abandoned during the medieval period. Most of the constructions date from the Roman and Proto-Byzantine periods. Each architectural group (houses, tombs, churches, agricultural buildings, etc.) is studied separately then resituated in the context of the village and the region thus enabling the author to determine this peasant community's economic, demographic, social and religious history. Mechanisms linked to the growth of the locality are examined in the light of strategies implemented in the appropriation and enhancement of the surrounding land such as controlling water and the diversification of crops which reveals the inhabitants' extraordinary capacity to adapt to their natural environment. Discussion also covers the question of the interactions between the villagers and their relationships with other towns. Kafr ?Aq?b also owed its prosperity to the road network which was ingeniously woven between towns as well as to its proximity to major urban areas in Antioche and Apamea. The ruins reveal this highly favourable location for trade and the circulation of various cultural and artistic movements. Finally, numerous archaeological signs allow the study of the occupation of the village after it was invaded by VIIth century Arab conquerors. The author thus aims to reconstruct the history of this ancient site following a long and fascinating field study. La monographie du village in dit de Kafr 'Aqab permet d' largir le champ des recherches la partie occidentale du Massif calcaire de la Syrie du Nord qui a suscit , jusqu' r cemment, un int r t limit . Les ruines du site s' tendent pour l'essentiel sur un vaste promontoire rocheux strat giquement situ l'extr mit nord du gebel Wastani, proximit de la vall e de l'Oronte dans l'arri re-pays d'Antioche. Elles ont r v l l'existence d'une localit antique riche de plus de 80 habitations, d'un monast re, de deux complexes eccl siaux et d'un b timent fortifi . L' tude, fond e sur l'analyse d taill e des vestiges de surface, a permis d'examiner l' volution du village depuis sa premi re phase d'occupation, entre le IIe et le IIIe si cle, jusqu' son abandon au cours de la p riode m di vale. La plupart des constructions datent des p riodes romaine et protobyzantine. Chaque groupe architectural (maisons, tombeaux, glises, locaux agricoles, etc.) tudi part, puis replacer dans son contexte villageois et r gional, est l'occasion pour l'auteur de pr ciser l'histoire conomique, d mographique, sociale, et religieuse de cette communaut paysanne. Les m canismes propres la croissance de la localit sont aussi examin s au prisme des strat gies mises en oeuvre dans l'appropriation et la valorisation du terroir, tels que la ma trise des ressources en eau et la diversification des cultures qui r v lent l'extraordinaire capacit d'adaptation des hommes leur environnement naturel. Les changes sont galement l'occasion d'aborder la question des interactions entre villageois et des relations entretenues par ces derniers avec les villes. Kafr 'Aqab doit aussi sa prosp rit au r seau routier savamment tiss entre les agglom rations ainsi qu' la proximit des grands centres urbains d'Antioche et d'Apam e. Les vestiges t moignent en effet de cette situation privil gi e, favorable au commerce et la circulation de divers courants culturels et artistiques. Enfin, de nombreux indices arch ologiques permettent d'examiner les diverses formes d'occupation du village apr s la conqu te arabe du VIIe si cle. C'est donc l'histoire de ce site antique que l'auteur tente de restituer l'issue d'une longue et passionnante enqu te de terrain. TABLE OF CONTENTS Pr face Avant-propos Introduction Chapitre premier.

‎Het boek schetst ons een beeld van een samenleving waar gereisd werd, waar medische verzorging bestond, waar land gewonnen werd, waar rechtspraak bestond, landbouw en veeteelt bloeiden, mannen en vrouwen in kloosters samenwoonden en waar men zich in geestelijk opzicht vooral bezighield met het leven na de dood. De inspirerende gesprekken over het concept van het boek en de tentoonstelling, met als uitgangspunt de kroniek van abt Emo van Huizinge, hebben geleid tot een verbreding van het onderwerp.‎

‎In seiner leidenschaftlichen Bewunderung f r die grandiosen F higkeiten der alt gyptischen und orientalischen K nstler leistete der franz sische Orientalist, Schriftsteller und K nstler mile Prisse d?Avennes (1807?1879) Bahnbrechendes auf dem Gebiet der gyptologie. Schon als Jugendlicher tr umte er davon, den Orient zu erkunden, mit 19 machte er sich erstmals auf den Weg und besuchte Griechenland, Pal stina und Indien. In den folgenden 40 Jahren bereiste er Syrien, die Arabische Halbinsel und Persien und lebte einige Zeit in gypten und Algerien. gypten erkundete Prisse d?Avennes, in arabische Gew nder gekleidet, unter dem Namen Idris Effendi. Als Erforscher der alt gyptischen und islamischen Kulturen schrieb er sp ter in seiner Geschichte der gyptischen Kunst: ?Ich habe die elegantesten Vorlagen ausgew hlt, diejenigen, deren Gestalt eine sehr genaue Vorstellung vermittelt vom Geschmack und Luxus dieser Zeit, als die gyptische Kunstfertigkeit sich auf dem Gipfel ihrer Brillanz befand.? Im Jahr 1844 reiste Prisse d?Avennes von Alexandria nach Frankreich, wo er drei Jahre sp ter die Monuments gyptiens ( gyptische Baudenkm ler) ver ffentlichte. Dieser Band enth lt 51 Tafeln, die auf Zeichnungen basieren, die er w hrend seiner Zeit in gypten angefertigt hatte. Nach einem erneuten Aufenthalt in Nordafrika kehrte er 1860 wieder nach Paris zur ck, mit den Fr chten seiner zahlreichen Reisen im Gep ck: Hunderte von Foliozeichnungen, Fotografien, Skizzen, Karten und 400 Metern an Basreliefs. Fasziniert von der Symmetrie, Komplexit t und Opulenz der gyptischen und arabischen Kunst, griff er auf diesen gewaltigen Fundus zur ck, um Sammelwerke zur Kunst und Architektur zu schaffen, in die er seine Forschungen zum historischen, gesellschaftlichen und religi sen Kontext ebenso einflie en lie wie seine Untersuchungen von Originaldokumenten. 1878/79 erschien in Paris unter dem Titel Histoire de l?art gyptien (Geschichte der gyptischen Kunst) sein vollst ndiges Kompendium, das 159 beeindruckende Tafeln zur gyptischen Kunst enth lt. Diese au ergew hnlichen Tafeln zu Architektur, Skulptur, Malerei und Kunstgewerbe werden hier erstmals in einem Band vereint und vollst ndig ver ffentlicht. ---- In his passionate admiration for the magnificent skills of ancient Egyptian and oriental artists, the French orientalist, writer and artist mile Prisse d?Avennes (1807?1879) made groundbreaking contributions to the field of Egyptology. Even as a teenager he dreamed of exploring the Orient. At the age of 19 he set off for the first time and visited Greece, Palestine and India. In the following 40 years he traveled to Syria, the Arabian Peninsula and Persia and lived for some time in Egypt and Algeria. Prisse d'Avennes explored Egypt, dressed in Arab robes, under the name Idris Effendi. As a researcher of ancient Egyptian and Islamic cultures, he later wrote in his history of Egyptian art: ?I have selected the most elegant models, those whose shape gives a very accurate idea of ??the taste and luxury of that time when Egyptian artistry was at its peak brilliance.? In 1844, Prisse d'Avennes traveled from Alexandria to France, where three years later he published Monuments gyptiens (Egyptian Monuments). This volume contains 51 plates based on drawings he made during his time in Egypt. After another stay in North Africa, he returned to Paris in 1860 with the fruits of his numerous travels in his luggage: hundreds of folio drawings, photographs, sketches, maps and 400 meters of bas-reliefs. Fascinated by the symmetry, complexity and opulence of Egyptian and Arabic art, he drew on this enormous fund to create collections on art and architecture, in which he incorporated his research into the historical, social and religious context as well as his studies of original documents. In 1878/79 his complete compendium was published in Paris under the title Histoire de l'art gyptien (History of Egyptian Art), which contains 159 impressive plates on Egyptian art. These extraordinary panels on architecture, sculpture, painting and decorative arts are brought together and published in full in one volume for the first time.‎
