"The opulence of Byzantine art, with its extravagant use of gold and silver, is well known. Highly skilled artists created powerful representations reflecting and promoting this society and its values in icons, illuminated manuscripts, and mosaics and wallpaintings placed in domed churches and public buildings. This complete introduction to the whole period and range of Byzantine art combines immense breadth with interesting historical detail. Robin Cormack overturns the myth that Byzantine art remained constant from the inauguration of Constantinople, its artistic centre, in the year 330 until the fall of the city to the Ottomans in 1453. He shows how the many political and religious upheavals of this period produced a wide range of styles and developments in art. This updated, colour edition includes new discoveries, a revised bibliography, and, in a new epilogue, a rethinking of Byzantine Art for the present day." -- Publisher's description.

In the research on "The transformation of the Roman world" relatively little attention has been paid to the transformation of early medieval peoples and the development of their communities into kingdoms, and we lack a comparative study on this subject. The aim of this volume is, therefore, to examine the relationship between gens and regnum by systematically comparing the "Germanic" and non-Germanic successor states of the Roman Empire, a question that leads to important results about the role of ethnic processes and of political developments in the formation of the new kingdoms. By trying to answer leading questions, 16 authors (historians, archaeologists and linguists) deal with ten important kingdoms of this period and with their political and legal context (role of the Empire and the law-codes). An introduction to the subject and its inherent problems and a comparative conclusion summarizing the results completes the volume.

Liebeschuetz, Walter Pohl, Michael Schmauder, Isabel Velázquez, Ian N. Wood, Alex Woolf, Patrick Wormald, and Barbara Yorke.

Solo di recente gli studi filologici si sono applicati all'esame sistematico dell'ampio e articolato corpus dell'agiografia volgare medievale in prosa, spostando l'attenzione dai singoli testi - visti in passato per lo più come reperti di interesse linguistico - verso il libro agiografico, verso cioè le centinaia di raccolte che tra XIII e XIV sec. si diffondono non solo in ambienti religiosi ma anche, e soprattutto, presso i ceti laici e borghesi, dove la raccolta agiografica, al di là delle sue funzioni devozionali, spesso rappresenta lo strumento base (e talvolta unico) anche per una più generale edificazione culturale e letteraria. A fianco dei cataloghi e dei repertori, si avverte oggi il bisogno di disporre di edizioni complete dei singoli mss., in modo da poter analizzarne le fonti, la scelta e l'ordinamento dei testi, la lingua e lo stile, gli interventi sui contenuti, e infine i rapporti di parentela tra le diverse raccolte. A questi scopi e principi si ispira la presente edizione della raccolta redatta in italiano settentrionale (inizio XIV sec.) del ms. Magl. XXXVIII.110 della Bibl. Naz. di Firenze, introdotta da uno studio stilistico, con speciale atten-zione alle strategie di traduzione, uno studio delle fonti e uno studio linguistico molto ampio (corredato di glossario).

Sexuality in the ancient world has received much scholarly attention in the last few years, but authors have tended to confine themselves to the literary sources from Greece and Rome. There has also been a concentration on issues of social dominance and control at the expense of analysing the emotional and experiential aspects of sexual life, for which Egypt is a unique source. This is the first comprehensive study of sex in ancient Egypt. It considers sex in its broadest sense, analysing not only the sexual practices of individual people but also the ways in which sexual activity was indiv
