The central theme of the articles reproduced in these two volumes
is the role of the visual arts and architecture in the cultural
interaction between medieval societies, Christian and Muslim, in
the eastern Mediterranean. Visual forms of production and
communication amongst Christian communities themselves, and between
Christian and Muslim, are discussed within their specific social
and political contexts. Placing the emphasis on areas which passed
between Christian and Muslim raises questions of the formation of
identities as well as the relationship of the periphery to the
centre. Focusing on the areas of Egypt, Syria and Palestine in
relation to Byzantium, Islam, and the West provides a framework for
consideration of particular issues, especially the identity of
particular communities. The core of the work considers the period
between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, when these areas were
at the centre of eastern Mediterranean politics, and seeks to
interpret little known evidence in the light of political and
cultural circumstances with an interdisciplinary approach as its
starting point. Vol. I features papers on the legacy of Byzantine
art, and the medieval Christian art of Egypt. Vol. II covers the
Christian art of Medieval Syria, and the art of the Crusader
states.
