Tsvika Tsuk, The Ancient Water System of Sepphoris (Land of Galilee 6)Jerusalem 2024ISBN 978-965-92534-5-6320 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour-figs., 27 x 20 cm; kartoniert/hardcover With its 8500 kilometers of coastline stretching from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, Turkey constitutes one of the most important geographies in the history of civilization. The maritime phenomenon was discovered tens of thousands of years ago on these coasts, where people have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Paleolithic remains found in Karain and Beldibi Caves in Antalya and Keldağ-Üçağızlı Caves in Hatay suggest that people who went to Crete and Cyprus, were from Anatolia, the closest coast. More than a thousand obsidian tools of Nevşehir origin, dating back at least ten thousand years, were found in the Northern Cyprus Tatlısu-Çiftlikdüzü excavations. People provided the transportation between the islands and the mainland with primitive sea vehicles. The most concrete example of this type of vehicle emerged in Anatolia, and wooden canoe paddles dated 8000 years ago were found in Istanbul Yenikapı. It is not surprising that the world’s oldest ships are found in such a geography. In Antalya, the Gelidonya Shipwreck dated to 1200 BCE was found in 1960, the Kaş-Uluburun shipwreck dated to the 14th century BCE in 1984, and the Kumluca shipwreck, which dates back to 16-15th BCE centuries in 2018. Both the shores of these seas and lakes & streams have witnessed the existence of many known and unknown cultures and their relations with each other for a long time. The seas separating Asia, Europe, and Africa simultaneously connected these continents through maritime means. Today, investigating these unknowns under the water is carried out within the framework of the discipline of Underwater Archaeology. Turkey is among the leading countries in the world both in the academic field and in the framework of underwater excavations and researches. This book has been prepared in order to put all the major studies done in Turkey on the map.

Marina Maraković – Tin Turković (eds.), TRANSLATIO IMAGINIS TRIUMPHALIS: Elephant in the Iconography of Power from Antiquity to the Early Modern AgeZagreb 2025ISBN 978-953-379-097-8 484 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 25 x 19 cm; broschiert/softcover The authors address the issue of the translation of political power and the legitimacy of rule over the civilized world from antiquity to the early modern period, focusing on the image of the elephant and its role in triumphal iconography. The elephant is thus recognized as a proper imago triumphalis – the most obvious, most universal, and at the same time, the most easily comprehensible symbol of the idea of translatio. Through the analysis and interpretation of the use of this specific motif across several millennia of human history, a complex historical topic is made approachable and understandable, even to a wider audience.

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.

Dazu hatte 2022 in Graz ein internationales Kolloquium im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsserie „Instrumenta inscripta“ stattgefunden, wo die Thematik von archäologischer, althistorischer und epigraphischer Seite beleuchtet wurde. Die auf Deutsch, Englisch, Italienisch und Spanisch verfassten Beiträge eröffnen einen ebenso bunten wie tiefen Einblick in das weite Spektrum vornehmlich römischer Kleininschriften in lateinischer oder griechischer Sprache. Mit unterschiedlicher Fokussierung auf Schriftträger, Fundregion oder inhaltliche Aspekte kommen Liebesinschriften, Götterweihungen und Besitzangaben ebenso zur Sprache wie symbolhafte Elemente, Bildbeischriften, standardisierte Aufschriften, Stempeltexte und geschäftsbezogene Notizen. Neben Fragen der Textinterpretation werden auch formale Eigenarten paläographischer Art behandelt. Der zeitliche Bogen reicht von der hellenistischen bis in die spät- und nachantike Epoche. In der Menge der hier präsentierten Schriftzeugnisse sind Alt- und Neufunde aus Italien und verschiedenen Regionen des Imperium Romanum zwischen Syrien und Hispanien vertreten, insbesondere aus den Rhein- und Donauprovinzen.

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.
