Paperback. Zustand: Gut. Reprint 1993. 272 p., Good condition. -- TYPES OF DOCUMENTS AND SOURCES -- To the extent that a distinction can be drawn between documents and sources, it should be noted that the first category is very poorly represented in the written records of Byzantine art. It includes a number of imperial and ecclesiastical enactments as well as a few inventories, mostly monastic. Other types of documents, such as are familiar to us in Western Europe, e.g. the registers of guilds, financial accounts, contracts, letters of recommendation, artists' wills, are totally lacking. -- The bulk of our material may be loosely called literary and is drawn horn a variety of sources: histories, chronicles, saints' lives, theological Treatises as well as the accounts of foreign travellers. Of particular importance is a genre called the ekphrasis, i.e., the rhetorical description of work of art. This is usually in prose, but may also be in verse (in epic hexameter in the case of Paul the Silentiary, in iambics in the case of Constantine the Rhodian); it may form an independent opuscule or be part of a larger work such as a book of history or even a sermon. Procopius's famous work on the buildings of the emperor Justinian (De sedificiis) consists of a whole string of ekphraseis. In dealing with this senre, it should be borne in mind that it came into vogue in the Imperial Roman period and that it was governed by a set of conventions applicable j the standards of a naturalistic pagan art and understandable to an audience versed in the lore of Greek mythology. When it was pressed into the service of Christian subject-matter (and it continued to be practiced om the 4th century until the 15th), its language, its imagery and its cliches were not substantially modified. This resulted in a painful artificiality further aggravated by the reluctance to call anything by its "vulgar" technical name. A church could not be called a church (ekklesia); - had to be a temple or a fane (naos or, even better neos), unless it was endered by the poetic word for a house or a hall (melathron); a bishop episkopos) became an archimustes or mustipolos, as if he presided over the Eleusinian mysteries; a barrel vault, "a cylinder cleft in twain," ar so forth. This phenomenon was not peculiar to the ekphrasis: indeed, was shared by all "highbrow" Byzantine literature which was written classical, preferably Attic, Greek, i.e., a language that no one spoke at the time. One consequence of this trend has to be noted here, namely the precision of vocabulary. In medieval Greek a dome was called troul.: but in sophisticated literature it may appear as a sphere or a hemisphere . circle, a crown, a peak, crest or a helmet; an arch, which was called eile-by the vulgar folk, is usually rendered by apsis, but sometimes by an: which is the Homeric word for the rim of a round shield and which w: also used for a variety of other curved elements; the term stoa could star . for half a dozen different things.
