Constantinos M. Constantopoulos, Byzantine Lead Seals – The Stamoules’ Collection(Siatras Numismatic Studies, 10)Athens 2023ISBN 978-628-5818-00-5
108 S./pp., zahlr. S/W-Abb./num. b/w-figs., 23,5 x 16 cm; broschiert/softcoverAnastasios Stamoules was a Greek born in 1843 at the small town
of Selymbria, Eastern Thrace, then a part of the Ottoman Empire. He
studied in the Orthodox College of the Oecumenical Patriarchate at
Constantinople. From very young age, he had started collecting
objects relating to the history of Thrace. As a result a huge
collection of Greek, Roman and Byzantine objects was formed.
Unfortunately the biggest part of this collection was stolen by the
troops of the Allies during WW I.
The forced
population displacement of the 1920's lead the whole family in
Athens. In 1924 Stamoules donated the coins and the lead seals that
managed to bring with him to the Numismatic Museum.
This book presents
in detail the Byzantine lead seals of Stamoules' Collection. What is
important is that all seals were locally collected, at the small area
around Selymbria, one could justifiably call it "the Selymbria
Collection". The Byzantine city was an important strategic
settlement located in the interior of the Long Walls of Thrace, at
the end of Via Egnatia, it also was a religious centre, as is still
obvious from the remains of many churches that survive. It is
mentioned in the sources as an archdiocese and later as a metropolis.
Therefore the seals of the Collection can also be used as a primary
material for historical studies.

This volume contains the edition - along with comments and
interpretations - of selected Byzantine lead seals in the collection
of Gert Boersema (the Netherlands), which are nearly exclusively
unique specimens, dating from the 6th to the 14th century. The
inscriptions offer new results and aspects for the Byzantine
administrative history, prosopography, historical geography, and
economic history, but furthermore concern the Byzantine church,
monasteries, domains, and especially the Byzantine aristocracy. Short
English abstracts contribute a kind of regestes, representing the
value of the contents. The book is an attribution to basic research
of Byzantine history.

Die Publikation versammelt Studien zur Analyse der nicht wahrnehmbaren
und doch sehr offensichtlichen Grenze zwischen der Materialität einer
architektonischen Konstruktion und dem Sakralen. Die Beiträge versuchen
anhand von Beispielen aus der Welt der Spätantike folgende Fragen zu
diskutieren: Wie verhalten sich Architektur und sakraler Raum
zueinander? Wie sollten sie betrachtet werden? Wie trugen Ritual,
Erinnerung und gebaute Umwelt zur kulturellen Ausformulierung heiliger
Räume und ihrer Wahrnehmung bei? Und was erklärt die anhaltende
Anziehungskraft heiliger Räume?Die einzelnen Kapitel befassen sich
mit den architektonischen Gegebenheiten in Orten und Gebieten von
Bordeaux bis Rom, von Hierapolis bis Konstantinopel und von Shivta bis
Aksum.

The landscape of the Southeast Peloponnese (Laconia, Greece), a very
important region of the Empire in the context of the late Byzantine
period, was comprised of important bishopric centers, such as Mistra
and Monemvasia, as well as numerous villages, powerful monastic
foundations, and smaller hermitages frequently built in caves and
isolated settings. Grounded both on systematic fieldwork and detailed
surveys of the monuments, this book is the first comprehensive study
of the eremitical and monastic landscapes of the region.
It investigates the
interactions of isolated hermits and established communities, the
relationships of large monasteries to smaller foundations, and the
interweaving of monastic and rural economies. It aims at identifying
the monks themselves, their preoccupations and aspirations, which are
reflected not only by the choice of the patron saints of the holy
places they founded or the content of the painted decoration but also
by the choice of location or a deep relationship with natural
elements of the landscape.
