eBook
Saint George Between Empires
2023
Overview
This volume examines Saint George's intertwined traditions in
the competing states of the eastern Mediterranean and
Transcaucasia, demonstrating how rival conceptions of this
well-known saint became central to Crusader, Eastern Christian, and
Islamic medieval visual cultures.
Saint George Between Empires links the visual cultures
of Byzantium, North Africa, the Levant, Syria, and the Caucasus
during the Crusader era to redraw our picture of interfaith
relations and artistic networks. Heather Badamo recovers and
recontextualizes a vast body of images and literature-from
etiquette manuals and romances to miracle accounts and
chronicles-to describe the history of Saint George during a period
of religious and political fragmentation, between his \"rise\" to
cross-cultural prominence in the eleventh century and his
\"globalization\" in the fifteenth. In Badamo's analysis, George
emerges as an exemplar of cross-cultural encounter and global
translation.
Featuring important new research on monuments and artworks that
are no longer available to scholars as a result of the occupation
of Syria and parts of Iraq, Saint George Between Empires
will be welcomed by scholars of Byzantine, medieval, Islamic, and
Eastern Christian art and cultural studies.
