Fourteen essays discuss mostly new and unpublished archaeological and artistic material, including architecture, sculpture, wall-paintings and icons, pottery and other small finds, but also the evidence of music and poetry. Through the surviving material of these artistic activities this volume explores the way Byzantines and Latins lived side by side on the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries and traces the mechanisms that led to the emergence of the new, composite world of the Latin East.

Based on Modern Greek, it provides corresponding terms and synonyms in nine languages. Buttressing the linguistic multicultural multilingualism, within its European cultural environment, the dictionary seeks to record the terms used in stating specific forms and types, so that they might become the impetus for the creation of a thesaurus of common terms, on the one hand, and in the preservation, thanks to its synonyms, of national languages, on the other.

This paper first examines the evidence in the period of the reign of the Macedonian and the Doukas dynasties (867-1081) and then the testimony in the period of the Komnenoi and Angeloi (1081-1204), attempting to point out similarities and differences in patronage patterns. The last part of the chapter focuses on a regional example, the Mani in the southern Peloponnese, which offers rich inscriptional evidence regarding local patronage.

In addition, it has been ascertained that some epigraphs written in Greek were commissioned by non-native speakers of Greek or “Hellenized” conquerors, rulers, and settlers. Various considerations and motivations that may be detected in the choice of language will be discussed, e.g. difference of ethnicity, identity, and culture, interaction or cultural and linguistic appropriation between coexisting communities, as well as individual aspirations and expectations.

The church of Hagios Petros at Kalyvia Kouvara (1231/2) is the work of a local workshop. The donor, Bishop Ignatios, inserted nuanced themes and details into the typical iconographic programme, which discreetly reveal his theological response to the new situation. His Orthodox view is also reflected in the scholarly dedicatory epigram. The Omorphi Ekklesia at Galatsi (c. 1300), whose patron is unknown, has a much more complicated iconographic programme and is the work of a highly qualified painter’s workshop, well acquainted with stylistic developments in the major artistic centres of Byzantium. The pairing of purely Orthodox subjects with Latin ones is conspicuous. Moreover, missionary work is highlighted, not only by showing the Latin monks depicted in the narthex holding gospel books but also in the scene of the Mission of the Apostles and the figures of apostles painted in the south chapel.

Series: Sources for Byzantine Art History 3
In this book the beauty and meaning of Byzantine art and its aesthetics are for the first time made accessible through the original sources. More than 150 medieval texts are translated from nine medieval languages into English, with commentaries from over seventy leading scholars. These include theories of art, discussions of patronage and understandings of iconography, practical recipes for artistic supplies, expressions of devotion, and descriptions of cities. The volume reveals the cultural plurality and the interconnectivity of medieval Europe and the Mediterranean from the late eleventh to the early fourteenth centuries. The first part uncovers salient aspects of Byzantine artistic production and its aesthetic reception, while the second puts a spotlight on particular ways of expressing admiration and of interpreting of the visual.

the south coast of the island of Cos, conducted since
1985 by the Department of Archaeology and Art History
of the University of Athens, has brought to light part
of an extensive early Byzantine settlement. This settlement
was founded upon imposing remains from the
Hellenistic period including temples and other edifices,
excavated under the direction of Georgia Kokkorou-Alevra.
On the basis of the stratigraphy and other archaeological
data, two phases have been recognized in the
early Christian settlement. The first began in the 4th century
and ended with the catastrophic earthquake of 554,
while the second lasted from 554 to the mid-7th century,
when inhabitants abandoned the site due to Arab invasions.
The thirty years of this still-ongoing excavation have
revealed rich architectural remains and movable finds,
partially studied to date by the directors and their students.
the current main research project concerns the
study and publication of the unpublished material from
the last excavation seasons within the framework of the
European research program“Thales-Uoa-the Apollo
sanctuary and the Late Roman Settlement in Halasarna
(Kos)-The history of an ancient sanctuary, its decline and
its final transformation into a Late Roman/Early Christian
settlement”, directed and coordinated by Georgia
Kokkorou-Alevra.
We hope that the publication of this rich archaeological
material – architectural remains (houses, graves,
workshops) as well as movable finds (pottery, glass,
metal, stone and other) – in combination with systematic
longtime excavation and interdisciplinary research during
recent years will contribute to the archaeological
mapping of the early Byzantine Aegean Sea region.

This paper is a brief presentation of the excavation work that the HellenicArchaeological Mission at South Sinai has conducted since 1998: 1. on the Holy Summit (Mount Moses); and 2. at the east/southeast site of St. Catherine’s Monastery. On the Holy Summit a plan of the three aisled timber-roofed Justinianic Basilica was clarified. Excavations of the site east-southeast of St Catherine's Monastery have brought to light three architectural complexes, which may be associated with Prokopios' phylakterion, the keep founded by Justinian to protect the monastery and the broader area.

This is a hitherto unexplored topic, overshadowed by the extensive research on the mendicants mainly in Italy and the West in general. Unlike the Crusaders, who were viewed with hostility in the East, the ascetic way of living of the mendicants was instrumental in promoting a compassionate face of Catholic Western Europe in the eyes of Orthodox Easterners. Their vow to poverty and active charity towards the poor brought in closer contact two worlds of differing doctrines, hitherto divided by the trauma of the religious schism in 1054 and the sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204.
