Farbabb./num. colour figs., 26 x 25 cm; broschiert/softcoverzweisprachig tschechisch - englisch / bilingual czech - english Das Buch „Mysterious Nubia“ beschreibt die tschechische Erkundung der historischen Region Unter-Nubien, die vor etwa 200 Jahren begann. Im Jahr 1827 erstellte Anton Prokesch-von Osten eine detaillierte Karte von Unternubien. In den Jahren 1841-1842 bereiste eine Gruppe tschechischer und mährischer Adliger diese Gegend, darunter Josef Vratislav aus Mitrovic und Bedřich Všemír Berchtold. Der amerikanische Millionär tschechischer Herkunft L. V. Holzmaister besuchte zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts Nubien und den Sudan. Diesem folgten in den 1920er Jahren die Reisenden Bedřich Machulka und Richard Štorch, die Tempel in Unternubien besichtigten. Der Höhepunkt des tschechischen Interesses an diesem Bereich war die tschechoslowakische Beteiligung an der UNESCO-Aktion zur Rettung der Denkmäler Unternubiens, an der der Ägyptologe Jaroslav Černý zusammen mit dem Team des Tschechoslowakischen Instituts für Ägyptologie teilnahm. Die berühmte tschechische Reporterin Věra Šťovíčková-Heroldová besuchte Unternubien kurz vor der Überflutung der Denkmäler.The book „Mysterious Nubia“ describes the Czech exploration of the historical region of Lower Nubia. The history of this exploration began approximately 200 years ago. In 1827, Anton Prokesch von Osten created a detailed map of Lower Nubia. Between 1841 and 1842, a group of Czech and Moravian noblemen visited the area, including Josef Vratislav of Mitrovice and Bedřich Všemír Berchtold. At the beginning of the 20th century, L. V. Holzmaister, an American millionaire of Czech origin, visited Nubia and Sudan. In the 1920s, the Lower Nubian temples were visited by travellers Bedřich Machulka and Richard Štorch. The culmination of Czech interest in this region was Czechoslovak participation in the UNESCO action to save the monuments of Lower Nubia, which was attended by the Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology team and Egyptologist Jaroslav Černý. The famous Czech reporter Věra Št'ovíčková-Heroldová visited Lower Nubia shortly before the flooding.

Yelyzaveta I. Akhypova, Icons from the 10th–13th centuries in Stone, Bone and Ceramics from Ukraine.A catalogueCluj – Napoca 2025ISBN 978-606-020-907-2256 S./pp., Farb- und S/W-Abb./colour and b/w-figs., 28 x 22 cm; kartoniert/hardcover This book is devoted to a very special circle of works that have reached us from the art of Kyiv Rus of the late 10th-11th centuries, and from the artistic heritage of those principalities, which after the collapse of the vast Kyiv state were formed in the southern and south-western parts of its territory. These principalities continued to exist in the 12th-13th centuries, until the invasion of the Tatar-Mongol hordes in 1230-40s, i.e. in the pre-Mongol period, and partly survived in the following decades. When it comes to the artistic culture of that vast world, we usually remember, first of all, the ecclesiastical architecture, the mosaics and the frescoes of the churches of Kyiv and Chernihiv, the enormous 11th-century icons of Novgorod, made, apparently, by artisans then visiting Kyiv, the miniatures of the 1056-57 Ostromir Lectionary, the decorations of other outstanding illustrated manuscripts, as well as the precious gold and silver jewelry, decorated with cloisonné enamel and other exquisite methods of jewelry art. The monumental sculpture also existed in that world: carvings in white stone (limestone) on the facades of some churches, narrative and ornamental plastic of certain interior elements such as remarkable reliefs(both patterned and narrative) on the slate slabs that decorated Kyiv’s churches. However, monumental sculpture and relief played relatively a modest role in that artistic world. This assessment of the role of sculpture will not change much even if we recall the existence of wooden sculpture, the art inherited from pagan times and known to us from the few surviving relatively late works of the north-east and north-west of Rus, which being largely primitive in nature have reached us only in small numbers due to the poor preservation of the material employed.

Emel Dereboylu Poulain,Aigai Figürinleri(Aigai III)Istanbul 2024ISBN 978-625-6212-01-5XII + 361 S./pp., zahlr. S/W-Abb. / num. b/w-figs., 27,5 x 19,5 cm; broschiert/softcover At the end of the 19th century the eyes are turned towards Myrina in the area of Aeolis, because of thousands of terra cotta figurines laid out in tombs of its necropolis. The necropolis of Myrina thus became the antique site most important, whereas research on the close sites, were somewhat forgotten. Today, of new excavations in the area of Aeolis help us has to understand the art of the coroplaste, which until was now limited only has Myrina. The ville of Aegae, located in this area, or of the French archaeologists had discovered a small number of figurines in 1882, was the object during many years of plunderings of figurines, in particular in years 1950-1960. Certain villagers tell that their fathers and grandfathers had put at the day during this same time, of the painted figurines of big size, then sold to the American soldiers. To date, one still does not know what became the catch figurines. The excavations and the research currently undertaken in the town of Aegae put at the day of many figurines of great quality representing various subjects. These many discoveries, seem to confirm the importance of the art of the coroplastie of Aegae. We have a larger pallet of examples which show than the production of terra cotta was very developed and very active in Aegae. It does not remain about it less than it is necessary for us to find the workshops in order to be able to prove that in due form. The majority of works are dated from the hellenistic period. Especially with 2nd century before J-C, the production out of the city would have increased. It is not only the case for Aegae but also for the other cities of Anatolia Western. Works of Aegae are witnesses of enrichissement of art coroplaste in Anatolia Western during these centuries. We suppose that these terracotta figurines were produced in the city. Indeed, works discovered reflect the marked taste of the coroplastie, the concern nuns of the inhabitants to create figurines and plates representing the Gods and the Goddesses. The figurines with the religious motif discovered in votive pits of the building of Bouleuterion, reflect ritual inhabitants.

Farb- und S/W-Abb. / num. colour and b/w-figs., 29 x 21,5 cm; broschiert/paperback The purpose of this dissertation is the study of the topographical, functional and symbolical synthesis of the monumental center of Constantinople - the complex which surrounded the Sacred Palace - through the restoration of one of its most important monuments, the Basilica or Basileios Stoa, the seat of the higher education, the public Library, the Courts of justice and the Temple of Tyche. The monumental center of Constantinople is defined as an urban and symbolical space, the functional synthesis of which was affected by the tradition of the royal cities of the Greco-Roman world, where monumental centers were located around the royal palaces housing important public functions. Moreover the Basileios Stoa is restored as the ancient ‘’Megiste Tetrastoos Agora’’ which was renamed and renovated during the reign of the Constantinian dynasty as the seat of higher education and justice. The location of the Schools and the Library to the Basileios Stoa reveals the intention of Constantine and his successors to create an intellectual center close to the Sacred Palace according to the tradition of the Hellenistic royal palaces, especially the one of Alexandria. Furthermore the functional and symbolical character of the monumental center of Constantinople was formed around the notion of wisdom by the dedication of its Cathedral to the Wisdom of God along with the juxtaposition of educational functions and symbols of the Greco-roman world. This process was directly related to the evolution of imperial ideology during the second and third quarter of the 4th century.
