The fourteen essays in this collection demonstrate a wide variety
of approaches to the study of Byzantine architecture and its
decoration, a reflection of both newer trends and traditional
scholarship in the field. The variety is also a reflection of
Professor Curcic's wide interests, which he shares with his
students. These include the analysis of recent archaeological
discoveries; recovery of lost monuments through archival research
and onsite examination of material remains; reconsidering
traditional typological approaches often ignored in current
scholarship; fresh interpretations of architectural features and
designs; contextualization of monuments within the landscape;
tracing historiographic trends; and mining neglected written
sources for motives of patronage. The papers also range broadly in
terms of chronology and geography, from the Early Christian through
the post-Byzantine period and from Italy to Armenia. Three papers
examine Early Christian monuments, and of these two expand the
inquiry into their architectural afterlives. Others discuss later
monuments in Byzantine territory and monuments in territories
related to Byzantium such as Serbia, Armenia, and Norman Italy. No
Orthodox church being complete without interior decoration, two
papers discuss issues connected to frescoes in late medieval Balkan
churches. Finally, one study investigates the continued influence
of Byzantine palace architecture long after the fall of
Constantinople.
