Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At the eastern confines of Latin Christendom, between the Levantine Crusader states, Byzantium, and Islam, the Lusignan kingdom of Cyprus (1192-1489) was home to a rich and diverse array of Gothic ecclesiastical structures, significant remains of which are still to be seen today. From the gr…and Latin cathedrals of Nicosia and Famagusta, the austere churches of the mendicant orders, and the magnificent monastic buildings of Bellapais Abbey to the imposing Greek and Nestorian cathedrals of Famagusta and the churches of the Eastern Christians (Armenians, Melkites, Maronites, etc.), Cypriot Gothic architecture evolved to serve the needs of the island's multi-cultural and multi-creedal society. This new study is based on original research on the physical fabric of Cyprus' Gothic ecclesiastical edifices, on a thorough exploitation of the published archaeological data, and on a new reading of the extant documentary sources (some of which are published here for the first time) to offer a fresh account of the development and place of Cypriot Gothic in the architectural history of medieval Europe and the eastern Mediterranean. It proposes to do so by re-evaluating and re-contextualizing the ambitions of the patrons and the choices (and compromises) of the master masons responsible for this unique monumental heritage. The conclusions reached in this study have far-reaching implications for the history of Gothic architecture on the island and the surrounding region. The cathedral of Nicosia, the kingdom's capital, re-emerges as the single most important architectural undertaking of the period. Not only is it singled out as the site where full-fledged Gothic was first introduced in the Latin East in the early thirteenth century, it is also identified as the chantier where French Rayonnant made its Cypriot debut in the latter part of the century, nearly thirty years before Famagusta Cathedral was renovated in an up-to-date Rayonnant style in c. 1300. With the rise of the royal port-town of Famagusta after the fall of Acre (1291), two major architectural centres developed side by side, leading parallel and seldom converging lives. The distinctiveness of their styles is thrown into higher relief by the creation of a 'Crusader Revival' architectural idiom unique to Famagusta by the 1360s, to visually complement the crown's crusading policies. The study of lesser churches in the two royal towns, as well as the major non-urban monastic complex, Bellapais Abbey, demonstrates how the ideas and designs introduced at the two cathedrals were adopted and adjusted to the tastes and needs of a diverse local clientele, ranging from the king and the mendicant orders to the Greeks and Eastern Christians.

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 is…land 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.

Roma: L'Erma di Bretschneider, 2026 9788891334305 Bibliotheca archaeologica 90 1409 N vol.: 1, N pag.: 240, W: 21.5, Illustr.: COL + B/N Several structural elements held fundamental importance in forming the architectural language of sacred space in the Middle Ages. The most important of these, although little st…udied in Italy, was the creation of varied roofing systems (wooden roofs, stone vaults, domes). The roof decisively conditioned the internal spatiality and assumed primary importance in conditioning the external form of the churches because the entire construction was based on the shape that the roof would have. The aim of this book is to delve deeper into some case studies of Italian churches from the Middle Ages to the dawn of the Modern Era with a multidisciplinary perspective (architecture, art history, archaeology, archaeometry, restoration). This publication forms part of the activities of the CaMeRoofs (Cataloguing Medieval Roofs) project, coordinated by the University of Cyprus and funded by the European Commission under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (ID: 101104788). Passuello, Angelo; Olympios, Michalis.
