1983The Parthenon sculptures collected by Lord Elgin nearly 200 years ago rank amongst the highest achievements of mankind. Since they went on display in the British Museum in 1817, artists, scholars, poets and millions of visitors have stood before them in wonder. This book tells their story, beginning in the fifth century BC when the Parthenon was built in Athens. The author explains what the sculptures represent, who made them and how they fitted into the grand design of the temple. He describes their gradual destruction by religious zealots, beseiging Venetians and other vandals before Lord Elgin brought them to the safety of London. 72p. illus.index. Book

2009réf. 140267Institute for Mediterranean Studies: Halcyon Days in Crete VI. A Symposium held in Rethymnon 13-15 January 2006. Soft cover 24 cm 438 pp. The island of Crete was conquered by the Ottomans in the mid-seventeenth century and was their last significant and long-lasting conquest of territory not previously held. Ottoman Crete has in recent years attracted historians’ attention for a number of reasons among which two particularities related to broader themes in Ottoman history stand out: the institution of private landownership in 1670 in breach of the age-long tradition of the miri ‘state’ land system and the emergence of a large Muslim population mainly through the conversion of locals to Islam. The papers in this volume bring to light new archival narrative and epigraphic sources for Ottoman Crete and the Eastern Mediterranean and aspire to contribute to the exploration of these but also other themes: centre-periphery relations and administration of an insular province taxation agricultural production social life and culture. . . ============================================================== IMPORTANT: The price does NOT include the shipping cost which depends on actual weight and destination.
