en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 aug 2019
This book is dedicated to an outstanding architectural monument of medieval Armenia – the church of the Holy Cross, built in the tenth century on the island of Ałt‘amar on Lake Van, and a UNESCO world heritage site. This jewel of architecture has been researched mainly from an art historical perspective. The current multi-author volume offers diverse studies aimed at placing the construction of the church in its proper historical, political, religious, and spiritual context. It explores the intellectual climate in the Kingdom of Vaspurakan during the reign of its founder, King Gagik Arcruni, the Kingdom’s relations with Byzantium and the Abbasids, analyzes local historiography, biblical exegesis, hagiography, veneration of the True Cross, and royal ideology. Novel interpretations of architectural features and sculptural decorations close the volume.

Recenzii

"The volume offers a selection of essays where an outstandingly important monument of Medieval Armenian art is investigated in its wider cultural and historical context from a definitely multidisciplinary viewpoint. (...) it enables its readers to get a wide-range introduction not only to the relevance of the church of the Holy Cross in Ałtamar for Armenian arts and culture, but also to the specific contribution of the hardly known Kingdom of Vaspurakan to world history." - Michele BACCI, Universität Freiburg/Schweiz, in: Hortus Artium Medievalium 26 (2020)
