Sacerdotium and Imperium in Material Form
Crafted in the form of a cross-in-square church, the reliquary casket of St. Niphon II, former Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (in office 1486–1488, 1497–1498, †1508, Dionysiou Monastery, Mount Athos), displays an unusual architectural form that blends various Byzantine, Gothic, and Islamic decorative features, making it an object of complex eclecticism. The piece, commissioned by the Voivode of Wallachia, Neagoe Basarab, in 1515, evokes l…
A Sixth-century Story in a Nineth-century Tract? Torna, torna, frater Revisited
This article focuses on the Latin words torna and frater. According to the accounts of Theophylact Simocatta and Theophanes the Confessor, the words were used by soldiers participating in the Byzantine-Avar war campaign in the Haemus mountains in 587. Relying mainly on the passage from the chronicle of Theophanes, Romanian scholars have interpreted the words as an early form of a Balkan Romance idiom spoken by the local population. The two words …
The Gates of Eternal Life
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in analyzing the manufacturing techniques of Byzantine church doors in laboratory settings. However, the connection between the iconography and significance of the décor of church doors and their liturgical performativity, as well as their parallels with iconostases in Byzantium, remained a relatively underexplored area of study. This article seeks to delve deeper into these intersections. By foc…
Lost Icon Prototypes from the Times of Neagoe Basarab
The study analyzes a group of lesser-known icons from Wallachia, dating from the 15th century to the mid-17th century. They are Eleousa-Glykophilousa icons, sometimes mixing in a rarer iconographic detail, a phylactery with inscription held by the Infant Jesus. These icons do not descent from a single prototype, but from several related types, of Late Byzantine, Macedonian, and Cretan origins. They seemed to have entered Wallachia in two differen…
Painters from Western Macedonia active in the Romanian Principalities. The brothers Ioannis and Georgios (floruerunt c. 1640-1655)
The study analyses the works of two virtually unknown Greek painters from the mid-seventeenth century. The names of the two painters, the brothers Ioannis and Georgios, are known from a letter addressed to Patriarch Nikon of Moscow, dated July 25 1655, in which they enumerate several churches they painted in Kiev and Wallachia: Berestovo, Căldărușani, Brebu, Strehaia, Cornățel, Plumbuita, Plătărești, Soveja. The study concludes that the two paint…
