The general scope of the present volume is to present a variety of
approaches and topics within the growing field of research on
Byzantine aesthetics. Theurgy in Neoplatonic and Christian contexts
is represented by the contributions of W.-M. Stock and L.
Bergemann; theories of beauty are at the centre of interest of the
papers by S. Mariev and M. Marchetto. A. Pizzone approaches
Byzantine aesthetics by looking for aesthetic experience in the
literary texts, while the remaining contributions explore issues
related to the iconoclast controversy: An important moment in the
development of Byzantine philosophy on the eve of iconoclasm is the
primary interest of A. del Campo Echevarria, who looks at the
question of universals in John of Damaskos. The relationship
between image and text in Byzantine illustrated manuscripts
occupies the attention of B. Crostini. D. Afinogenov explores from
a philological perspective the fate of important iconophile
terminology in Old Bulgarian, while L. Lukhovitskij reconstructs
from historical and philological perspectives the historical memory
of the iconoclast controversy during the Late Byzantine Period.
