affinities and antecedents of medieval settlement - Topographical perspectives from three of the Somerset hundreds - Bok av Nick Corcos - Häftad

The search for the origins of rural communities in England as perceived in the medieval period has exercised a strong fascination for scholars. Until well into the 20th century, such work was almost exclusively the preserve of historians and was, by and large, \document-driven\.

In this work, the author presents a general, synthetic..

Anra Scarab - An archaeological and historical approach - Bok av Fiona Richards - Häftad

The potential of the scarab seal is still neglected by many archaeologists. They are primarily considered for chronological purposes, and so their capacity as an historical document is under-rated, as is their value as an archaeological tool. Luckily, more recent studies are beginning to assess the archaeological and historical value of scarabs, and in particular design scarabs, revealing them as potential indicators of cultural interaction, and it is within this genre that the anra (identified always..

Byzantium in the Mirror: The Message of Skylitzes Matritensis and Hagia Sophia in Constantinople - Bok av Elisabeth Piltz - Häftad

Byzantium cannot be reconstructed, but its art provides an intensely vivid picture of its official and everyday life. The author of this volume has chosen two great works to illustrate this. The illuminated manuscript of the Skylitzes Chronicle in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid is unique. It is the most important preserved document illustrating particular historical events in a secular framework, and a study of this manuscript transports us to a mid-Byzantine historical context, with all its drama,..
