Anatolia was home to a large number of polities in the medieval period. Given its location at the geographical and chronological juncture between Byzantines and the Ottomans, its story tends to be read through the Seljuk experience. This obscures the multiple experiences and spaces of Anatolia under the Byzantine empire, Turko-Muslim dynasties contemporary to the Seljuks, the Mongol Ilkhanids, and the various beyliks of eastern and western Anatolia.

This book looks beyond political structures and towards a reconsideration of the interactions between the rural and the urban; an analysis of the relationships between architecture, culture and power; and an examination of the region's multiple geographies. In order to expand historiographical perspectives it draws on a wide variety of sources (architectural, artistic, documentary and literary), including texts composed in several languages (Arabic, Armenian, Byzantine Greek, Persian and Turkish). Original in its coverage of this period from the perspective of multiple polities, religions and languages, this volume is also the first to truly embrace the cultural complexity that was inherent in the reality of daily life in medieval Anatolia and surrounding regions.

"A particularly robust approach to Rome's antique past was taken in the Middle Ages, spanning from the Late Antiquity in the fourth century, until roughly the thirteenth century AD. The Spolia Churches of Rome looks at how the church-builders treated the architecture of ancient Rome like a quarry full of prefabricated material and examines the cultural, economic and political structure of the church and how this influenced the building's design. It is this trend of putting old buildings to new uses which presents an array of different forms of architecture and design within modern day Rome. This book is both an introduction to the spolia churches of medieval Rome, and a guide to eleven selected churches."--Provided by the publisher.

Percevoir ce qu’était l’espace sacré au Moyen Âge est à la fois simple et complexe, car si la société médiévale est profondément christianisée, il n’en demeure pas moins que déterminer l’espace sacré dans sa dimension spatiale n’est guère aisé. Le lieu sacré est lié à la pratique du culte qui se traduit par des rites et des choix liturgiques. La dimension ecclésiale et collective implique un partage physique et spirituel de cet espace entre d’une part les fidèles, les clercs et les moines et d’autre part les vivants et les morts. Cette partition génère une organisation spatiale perceptible à travers les études architecturales, les aménagements liturgiques et les circulations, mais aussi grâce à la diversité ou la permanence des programmes iconographiques. Le terme d’espace ecclésial ne se rapportant pas uniquement à l’église, il a été jugé nécessaire de s’intéresser également aux lieux qui lui sont associés, comme le cloître et le cimetière. C’est ainsi qu’à travers un grand nombre d’exemples puisés dans les régions Rhône-Alpes et Auvergne, des archéologues, historiens de l’art et liturgistes, issus des diverses institutions de recherche françaises et réunis en « Action collective de recherche », offrent ici une approche croisée de l’espace sacré depuis l’Antiquité tardive jusqu’au xve siècle. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur des études régionales dont plusieurs sont inédites.
