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.
