Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

By means of case studies, this course discusses the main paradigms, which attempt to make sense of Early Modern Southeast European history.
The case studies are: The Transfiguration Embroideries of a Moldavian Prince (1555-1561); The "Captain of the Heavenly Host" Icons of the Tsar and of the Russian Dissenters; the early modern Greek "schools of scribes"; An 1821 painting depicting the Sacred Band.
The main paradigms to be discussed are: Byzance après Byzance; the Byzantine Commonwealth; the Orthodox Commonwealth; Ottoman Europe.
Although it pays attention to texts, the focus is on visual materials (icons, embroideries, manuscript illumination, maps), read in their immediate context.
