Abstract
|
" This set assembles and consolidates the current state of research on medieval Famagusta. Volume 1 is "devoted to the city’s imposing artifactual remains. Its initial chapters analyse the architecture of the surviving Latin, Greek, and East Christian churches, tracing the city’s distinctive form of Gothic as it developed across the various creedal communities, and examining its impact on the rest of the island. Ensuing chapters turn for the first time to the liturgical furnishings in the churches, and to their painting. Uniquely in Cyprus, Famagusta preserves-if tenuously-paintings in Latin-, Syrian-, and Armenian-, as well as Greek-rite, liturgical spaces. Of exceptional interest are the abraded murals of the Greek cathedral of St. George. Two final chapters explore the cultural activity of the Genoese in the city, and the dramatic restoration of St. George of the Greeks as Famagusta’s most visibly Venetian church"--From Amazon" -- Volume 2 is the second of two volumes on the history and archaeology of the port city of Famagusta in Cyprus from the beginning of the island?s Frankish rule in 1192 to the Ottoman conquest in 1571. The first volume, entitled ’Art and Architecture’ and edited by Annemarie Weyl Carr, was published in this series in 2014. The volume provides a comprehensive survey of the four-century history of Famagusta under Frankish, Genoese, and Venetian rule down to the Ottoman siege and conquest, supplemented by an account of the image of the medieval and Renaissance city in retrospect. Based on original research and often using unpublished sources, fourteen acknowledged specialists study Famagusta?s political, social, economic, and ecclesiastical history from a multi- and interdisciplinary approach that involves aspects such as institutional continuities and discontinuities, military and space organisation, religious and cultural exchanges, gender roles, and the city?s image in travelogues?, writers? and artist Provided by publisher.
