Michele Bacci. Review of "Reimagining Jerusalem’s Architectural Identities in the Later Middle Ages" by Cathleen A. Fleck
Italianate Haloes in Early Cretan Icons
Cretan icons often displayed a precious decoration of golden halos with incised, stippled, and/or impressed designs. The present study points out that these motifs should not be interpreted as manifestations of nostalgic and anachronistic attitudes on the part of post-Byzantine painters working in Candia for Greek Orthodox and Catholic clients. Rather, they appear already in several early Cretan works dating around 1400, which took inspiration fr…

The New Zion of Ot’kht’a
The lavra of Ot’kht’a Eklesia and its twin monastery at Parkhali are located in an isolated, mountainous area of present-day north-east Turkey, which, in the ninth-tenth century, gradually emerged as the politically de facto independent kingdom of Tao-Klarjet’i and as a stronghold of Georgian culture. Both lavras were established on the steep slopes of valleys carved by the tributaries of the Çoruh (Č’orox’i) river by Georgian monks seeking for t…
Coastal sailing, landscape inspection, and the making of holy sites along the eastern Mediterranean sea-routes
The present paper explores the ways in which holy sites located on the coastal landscape of the Mediterranean were experienced visually by sailors and pilgrims of the late medieval to early modern periods and raises questions as to the different modi whereby holiness was perceived as site-bound, depending on the expectations of the viewer. The focus is on two prominent places encountered in the coastal navigation of the eastern Mediterranean: one…

Greek Madonnas and Venetian Fashion
In the second half of the fourteenth century, a large number of icons, made by Greek or Palaiologan-trained artists working in either Venice or Crete, enjoyed a wide circulation in the Mediterranean. They were conspicuous for certain distinctive and unconventional features: though faithful to Byzantine pictorial practices, they displayed the Virgin Mary wearing exuberantly ornamented “Gothic” garments, stemming from the set of forms established b…
K athryn B lair M oore . The Architecture of the Christian Holy Land
As the subtitle makes clear, the primary focus of Kathryn Blair Moore’s The Architecture of the Christian Holy Land is not the architectural history of the Holy Land, but rather the multiple and shifting ways in which the buildings enshrining the major pilgrimage sites in Jerusalem and Bethlehem came to be perceived, invested with specific meanings, transformed, and reconstructed in Western Europe from late antiquity through the sixteenth century…
The Holy Portolano / Le Portulan sacré
In the late Middle Ages, a trans-Mediterranean network of holy sites developed, linked to one another by sea routes. Due to their locations, they stood out as symbolic intersections between the sea, the land, and the heavens. The essays in this volume describe the specific sacred geography of the sanctuaries situated along medieval sea routes and examine their characteristics from the perspectives of history, religion, and art history.

On the Holy Topography of Sailors
Qu’est-ce que l’espace méditerranéen au Moyen Âge
Ces dernières années, la Méditerranée a été régulièrement invoquée par les historiens de l’art à titre de cadre conceptuel – plus que géographique – nous permettant d’appréhender quelques-unes des dynamiques les plus remarquables qui sous-tendent la production, l’usage et la réception des artefacts dans le monde médiéval. De nombreux spécialistes en histoire de l’art ont ressenti le besoin de traverser les frontières séparant les domaines de rech…
Vieux clichés et nouveaux mythes
Le présent article propose un bilan des études menées ces vingt dernières années en histoire de l’art byzantin, ainsi qu’une réflexion générale sur les objectifs de la discipline, son rapport avec les tendances les plus récentes de la recherche en histoire de l’art, son ouverture vers de nouveaux horizons et la nécessité de se confronter à la survivance de clichés anciens. L’accent est mis avant tout sur la définition problématique de « l’art de…
Historical and archaeological analysis of the Church of the Nativity
Syrian, Palaiologan, and Gothic Murals in the “Nestorian” Church of Famagusta
Το άρθρο εξετάζει τις τοιχογραφίες του ναού του Αγίου Γεωργίου του Εξορινού στην Αμμόχωστο της Κύπρου, που χρονολογείται στον 14ο αιώνα και θεωρείτο κατά παράδοση ναός Νεστοριανών. Οι σωζόμενες τοιχογραφίες φέρουν συριακές επιγραφές και χαρακτηρίζονται από σαφή αντιπαράθεση στοιχείων αραβο-χριστιανικών, βυζαντινών παλαιολόγειων και ιταλο-γοτθικών. Μπορούν να θεωρηθούν έργο διαφόρων καλλιτεχνών που εργάστηκαν ανάμεσα στο 1300 περίπου και στις τελε…
La Madonna della Misericordia individuale
Il presente articolo riprende la questione, già ampiamente dibattuta, della diffusione pressoché contemporanea in diverse aree del Mediterraneo verso la fine del secolo XIII del tema iconografico della Madonna che stende un lembo del suo velo sopra una o più figure di supplicanti. Si propone di leggerlo come una versione in chiave individuale del tema noto come “Madonna della Misericordia” e di ricercarne le origini non tanto in une deviazione ic…
Cult-Images and Religious Ethnology
In their exploration of the Mongol Empire during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Western merchants and missionaries experienced for the first time the contact with peoples and cultural traditions which had been almost completely unknown in the times past. Unexpectedly, some features of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist use of religious images proved to look quite similar to Western practices and contributed to suggest a feeling of affinity…
