Kaçar, Turhan : The Council of Nicaea. A Political and Intellectual History
Kaçar, Turhan : The Council of Nicaea. A Political and Intellectual History

Turhan Kaçar,The Council of Nicaea. A Political and Intellectual History Ankara 2025 ISBN 978-975-16-0372-2258 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 24 x 17 cm; kartoniert/hardcover The Council of Nicaea stands as one of the most decisive turning points in the history of Christianity. Yet, within Turkish historical scholarship, it has long remained a largely neglected subject - articularly when considered through the lenses of Roman political history and ancient intellectual history. To date, the council has not been examined as an independent topic within these frameworks. The limited number of studies that do address Nicaea neither offer a comprehensive historical narrative nor evaluate the council’s textual production from an intellectual-historical perspective. As a result, Turkish historiography continues to fall short not only in answering fundamental questions – such as what actually transpired at the Council of Nicaea, how debates were conducted, and how its decisions were interpreted and reinterpreted across subsequent centuries and cultures – but also in providing the historical context necessary to pose these questions in the first place. This collective volume seeks to address this gap. By offering a coherent and interdisciplinary discussion of the Council of Nicaea and its broader political, theological, and intellectual dimensions, the book aims to make a modest yet meaningful contribution to Turkish scholarship on the occasion of the 1700th anniversary of the council.

Verim, Ercan : Batı Karadeniz'deki Bizans Kiliseleri
Verim, Ercan : Batı Karadeniz'deki Bizans Kiliseleri

Ercan Verim,Batı Karadeniz'deki Bizans Kiliseleri Ankara 2026 ISBN 978-625-8550-07-8505 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 24 x 17 cm; broschiert/softcoverThis book has been written to lift the veil of mystery surrounding the Byzantine past hidden beneath the lush green canopy of the Western Black Sea. This book, the product of extensive surface surveys conducted across a wide area covering the provinces of Bartın, Bolu, Düzce, and Zonguldak, offers a comprehensive inventory of Byzantine-period churches, including some recorded in other provinces of the region. Our research aimed to handle every form of material evidence belonging to the period – from the plan of a church and its masonry techniques to architectural decorations and brick fragments – with a holistic approach. Within the pages of this book, you will observe that Byzantine architecture in the Western Black Sea embodies a surprising dichotomy: on one hand, structures that reflect the strong influence of the capital, Constantinople, and remain faithful to the imperial style in their architectural and decorative conception; on the other, a pragmatic approach relying entirely on local resources for the selection of construction materials. This situation reveals the dynamic and multi-layered relationship between the capital and the periphery. One of the most striking findings of our study is the chronological density. The fact that the vast majority of structures in the region belong to the Early and Middle Byzantine periods, while building activities – aside from some repairs and additions – almost completely ceased in the Late Byzantine period, narrates not only an architectural history but also a political one. The transition of the region to Turkish rule in the Late Byzantine period, except for a few coastal fortresses and small settlements, stands as the most tangible evidence of how the Byzantine presence in these lands gradually came to an end. This book is an important step toward bringing the forgotten and fading Byzantine cultural heritage of the Western Black Sea into the scientific world. I hope that this work will serve as a reference for readers interested in regional history and provide a foundation for more in-depth research in the future.

Its 22,700 cuneiform tablets, mainly dating to the nineteenth century BC, are recorded in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register and represent the first large group of private archives in human history. Thanks to these texts, as well as the rich archaeological discoveries made at Kültepe over the past 75 years, the authors of this book provide a vivid reconstruction of the daily lives of its inhabitants four thousand years ago.

Milan Lička, Anthropomorphic statuettes of the Linear and Stroked Pottery Cultures from Bohemia and Moravia – A look inside(Fontes Archaeologici Pragenses 51)Praha 2025ISBN 978-80-7036-869-5160 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; broschiert/softcoverNeolithic anthropomorphic figurines and anthropomorphic depictions of all kinds, as well as sculptures in general, are given due attention. This is because their informative value is specific and irreplaceable by other archaeological sources, because it touches on a certain segment of the life of the society of that time, namely spiritual, or even sacred life. At the same time, it turns out that the position in the hierarchy of social values, which is given to them, can influence the find context from which they come. Therefore, if it is known at all (often it is not, or it is only incompletely definable), it is advisable to use it properly, i.e. to analyse and evaluate it as comprehensively as possible, as is the case, for example, with the assemblage of finds from Chabařovice, Vochov and Polešovice.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 29,7 x 21 cm; broschiert/softcoverDer Hügel von Gâvurtepe liegt im Bezirk Alaşehir der Provinz Manisa am Fuße des Bozdağlar-Gebirges und zählt zu den bedeutendsten Siedlungen Westanatoliens in der Antike. Ausgrabungen, die zwischen 1987 und 1993 unter der Leitung der Museumsdirektion Manisa und der wissenschaftlichen Führung von Prof. Dr. Recep Meriç durchgeführt wurden, enthüllen die Geschichte der Siedlung von der Kupfersteinzeit bis zur späten Bronzezeit. Dieser Hügel an den Hängen des Bozdağlar-Gebirges ist nicht nur eine archäologische Stätte, sondern auch ein greifbares Zeugnis des kulturellen Übergangs zwischen der Ägäisregion und anderen Teilen Anatoliens.Die bei Ausgrabungen freigelegten Bereiche Südgraben und Megaron geben mit ihren architektonischen Anlagen und reichen archäologischen Funden Aufschluss über Glaubensvorstellungen, Produktion und Alltag jener Zeit. Insbesondere die im heiligen Bereich gefundenen Opfergefäße, Idole, Siegel und Kultgegenstände aus der frühen Bronzezeit II liefern wichtige Hinweise auf die religiösen Rituale Westanatoliens. Die im Vergleich zu anderen Siedlungen der Region einzigartige monumentale Architektur des Megaron zeugt von der sozialen Hierarchie und der strategischen Bedeutung der Siedlung.Diese Arbeit präsentiert detailliert die Ergebnisse sechsjähriger systematischer Ausgrabungen am Hügel von Gâvurtepe und leistet durch Stratigraphie, Keramiktypologie, Funde aus sakralen Stätten und chronologische Auswertungen einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Archäologie Westanatoliens. Die mögliche Verbindung der Siedlung mit der in hethitischen Quellen erwähnten Kaiserstadt des Königreichs Mira ermöglicht eine Neuinterpretation der Beziehungen zwischen der Ägäis und Anatolien.„Alaşehir Gâvurtepe Höyük (1987-1993 Kazıları Sonuçları)“ ist nicht bloß ein Ausgrabungsbericht, sondern eine umfassende Studie zu den prähistorischen Kulturen Westanatoliens. Das Werk bietet Wissenschaftlern, Forschern und allen, die sich mit der Vergangenheit auseinandersetzen, einen Leitfaden zur Entschlüsselung der jahrtausendealten Geschichte der Ägäis.

With 32 contributions, grouped into six chapters, authored by 54 scholars from over 15 countries, the book brings together latest discoveries and exciting research results from across Europe. It spans topics like the origins and spread of Bell Beakers, their social and ideological dimensions, regional identities, ritual and economic practices, mobility and migrations, and the far-reaching impact of ancient DNA. Being part 1 of a two-part international conference project, the book offers a fresh synthesis of how Beaker groups connected distant regions and so shaped the cultural landscapes of the western half of the European continent.

Tonkova, Eva : Pottery with West Slope decoration from present-day Bulgaria / Керамика с украса в стил West Slope от територията на България

Eva Tonkova,Pottery with West Slope decoration from present-day Bulgaria (Dissertationes, volume 22) /Керамика с украса в стил West Slope от територията на България (Дисертации, Том 22)Sofia 2025ISBN 978-619-245-577-4408 S./pp., S/W-Abb./b/w-figs., Tafeln/plates, 29,7 x 21 cm; kartoniert/hardcoverbulgarisch mit ausführlicher Zusammenfassung in englischbulgarian with extended summary in english The study is dedicated to a specific ceramic category from the Hellenistic Period, which was widely distributed throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and became one of the criteria for evaluating the scale and the extent of the “Hellenization” of vast cultural spaces and ethnic communities, from the western reaches of Ancient Greece to the Levant and the Middle East. The content of this book focuses on the pottery with West Slope decoration discovered within the territory of present-day Bulgaria and dated in the last quarter of 4th – the late 1st c. BC – a collection of artifacts from diverse archaeological contexts (settlements, burials, sanctuaries), but also from different cultural and geographic regions, such as the Greek cities in the Pontic region or the interior of Ancient Thrace. Chapter 1 discusses the decoration styles that occur within the collection from Bulgaria (Attic/imitational Attic style, Early Anatolian style, Late Anatolian style, the style of the Macedonian workshops). They represent different periods of the development of the West Slope ware and show different distribution patterns. For number of vases a regional Black Sea provenance is suggested and some of them could be identified as local products. The second chapter is dedicated to the Formal and Typological analysis of the finds. It discusses the shapes attested within present-day Bulgaria, arranged according to their function and chronology – from various types of kantharoi and other drinking vessels to askoi and unguentaria. Chapter ІІІ is dedicated to the analysis of the distribution of the ceramic category under consideration in Bulgaria. In the beginning, a short overview of the contexts of the finds is provided, and at the end of the part, there are some summarizing observations. The conclusion summarizes the results that the West Slope ceramics initially followed Classical traditions, especially in kantharoi, amphorae, and kraters for wine consumption, while local modifications persisted alongside new Hellenistic forms. The repertoire evolved under Athenian, Anatolian, and Macedonian influences, creating a largely uniform Pontic style that combined imported trends with local innovations. Distribution patterns reveal two cultural spheres: coastal settlements with a full tableware set, and the Thracian interior, where consumption was largely limited to cups. History of research I.
