Beskrivelse
The focus in this varied collection of studies by key scholars in the field is on textiles as important manifestation of material culture in the Mediterranean and beyond (Ethiopia, Armenia) during Medieval and Post-Medieval times (ca. 10th-19th c.). The scope of the contributions encompasses cross-cultural archaeological and historical perspectives on such diverse subjects as textiles from the Byzantine Empire and from the Islamic World (e.g. al-Andalus, Mamluk), Italian textile production, Medieval poetics about textiles, Anatolian flags of the Seljuk Sultanate, animal motifs on Asian textiles, as well as textiles from Medieval Ethiopia and Armenia and from the Ottoman Empire. The volume offers a state of the art of an often still hardly known scope in studies of textiles as historical and cultural source of information, which makes it essential reading for scholars and a larger audience alike. The book includes contributions by Laura Rodriguez Peinado, Ana Cabrera Lafuente, Avinoam Shalem, Scott Redford, Maria Sardi, Vera-Simone Schulz, Nikolaos Vryzidis, Dimitris Loupis, Marielle Martiniani-Reber, Elena Papastavrou, Jacopo Gnisci and Dickran Kouymjian.
