Brossura. Condición: come nuovo. 16pp. ORIENTALIA CHRISTIANA PERIODICA 86 (2020), fasc. I-II -- In 1038, during the reign of the Bagratid king Yovhannês-Smbat, a new type of a building was added to the monastic complex of Hoomos the àamatun. Novel iconographic motifs were introduced also in the internal sculptural dec- oration of the àamatun. The entire architectural and iconographic ensemble was aimed at expressing funerary symbolism and eschatological expectations. The content of the decorations of the àamatun highlight the connection between death and resurrection seen through the lens of baptismal symbolism where baptism is considered as a new birth. In Armenian theological literature one of the first expressions of these concepts is found in Anania irakac{i's Homily on the Epiphany. Some themes developed in this Homily find their visual parallels in the àamatun of Hoomos. Moreover, other details of the àamatun's octagonal dome's iconography, such as the symbolism of the "Eighth Day of the Lord," the "Creation Week" and number symbolism, likewise imply knowledge of ideas exposed in Anania's oeuvre. The use of cosmic symbolism in the iconography also conveys the idea of universal renewal a leitmotiv in the àamatun's construction programme. It is highly likely that these architectural and decorative innovations introduced at the beginning of the XI century should be viewed in correlation to the growing interest in Anania irakac{i's work in this very same period, when they were put into circulation by scholars close to Yovhannês-Smbat, especially such intellectuals as Grigor Magistros. The decorative ensemble of the àamatun of Hoomos is interpreted as a version of the iconography of the Apocalypse, perfectly in tune with the current historical and political contexts marked by the decline of the Bagratid kingdom under king Yovhannês-Smbat. The architectural and decorative innovations allow us to observe how when the need was felt artists could give a visual expression to certain theological reflections, as well as information acquired through scientific enquiry.…

Paperback. Condición: New. In the winter of 1586, Hakob Jughayets'l, one of Armenia's most celebrated illuminators, completed work on a Gospel Book with an extensive and extraordinary programme of narrative miniatures and marginal figures. Produced in an era of warfare between the Safavid and Ottoman empires over the possession of Armenia, and while Hakob himself was a wandering artist, this manuscript provides a compelling witness to the development of Hakob's artistic personality during a period of personal and political unrest. Tracing his work from the 1580s to the 1610s, this groundbreaking study sets Hakob's extraordinary oeuvre within the political and artistic context of late 16th-century Armenia.…
