Download or read book Late Antique Metal Vessels in the Carpathian Basin written by Tivadar Vida and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent gold and silver vessels that reached the Barbarian elites of the Migration period either as diplomatic gifts or as war booty, as part of annual subsidies or through trade, attest to the many forms of cultural exchanges between the late antique civilisation of the Mediterranean and the tribal kingdoms emerging on its fringes. These resplendent silver and gold vessels were prized possessions of elite households, whose display enhanced the splendour of community feasts and ceremonies. As expensive diplomatic gifs, precious metal vessels played an important role in maintaining and cementing amicable relations and alliances between the late antique states and the Barbarian kingdoms. The elegant gold and silver vessels bore witness to the prosperity and "good life" of the late antique aristocracy, while their graceful form and delicate ornamentation were designed to reflect the erudition and cultural values of their owners. These masterpieces of late antique art retained their role as status symbols in their new cultural milieu too, and they were sometimes circulated as part of the gift exchanges between Barbarian elites or between a Barbarian king and his nobles. The more humble copper-alloy vessels used in daily life can usually be associated with the middle classes and reflect the appeal of the late antique aristocracy's lifestyle to a broader circle as well as the desire to emulate their table customs and to acquire at least copies of their tableware. Late antique and early Byzantine metal vessels were mediums of social display not only during their owners' lifetimes, but also after their death through the deposition of these impressive items in burials.

Download or read book Self representation of Medieval Religious Communities written by Anne Müller and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2009 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the medieval monastery as symbolic space (locus symbolicus) and looks at forms of self-representation in medieval monastic life. Papers focus on both the transitory nature of organised religious life, which is based on symbols, and the separate identities religious communities developed by using their own specific forms of ritual and symbolisation. Case studies treat the British Isles and the broader European context. Among the key issues explored here are rituals in internal organisation, the symbolic use of space, architecture and art, symbolism in social interactions, and symbolic constructions of the past.
Download or read book Imagining Women s Conventual Spaces in France 1600 1800 written by Barbara R. Woshinsky and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending history, architecture and literary analysis, this ground-breaking study explores the convent's place in the early modern imagination. After the Council of Trent imposed strict claustral enclosure, the nun became an intensified object of desire in male-authored narratives. Convents also inspired feminutopian discourses by women writers. Recent criticism has identified spaces that women have made their own: the ruelle, the salon, the hearth of fairy tales. Woshinsky's book definitively adds the convent to this list.
Download or read book Amarna Diplomacy written by Raymond Cohen and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2002-10-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1992, William L. Moran's definitive English translation, The Amarna Letters, raised as many questions as it answered. How did Pharaoh run his empire? Why did the god-king consent to deal with his fellow, mortal monarchs as equals? Indeed, why did kings engage in diplomacy at all? How did the great powers maintain international peace and order? In Amarna Diplomacy, Raymond Cohen and Raymond Westbrook have brought together a team of specialists, both social scientists and ancient historians, to explore the world of ancient Near Eastern statecraft portrayed in the letters. Subjects discussed include Egyptian imperial and foreign policy, international law and trade, geopolitics and decision making, intelligence, and diplomacy. This book will be of interest to scholars not only of the ancient Near East and the Bible but also of international relations and diplomatic studies. Contributors are Pinhas Artzi, Kevin Avruch, Geoffrey Berridge, Betsy M. Bryan, Raymond Cohen, Steven R. David, Daniel Druckman, Serdar Güner, Alan James, Christer Jönsson, Mario Liverani, Samuel A. Meier, William J. Murnane, Nadav Na'aman, Rodolfo Ragionieri, Raymond Westbrook, and Carlo Zaccagnini.
