Theurgy in Neoplatonic and Christian contexts is represented by the contributions of W.-M. Stock and L. Bergemann; theories of beauty are at the centre of interest of the papers by S. Mariev and M. Marchetto. A. Pizzone approaches Byzantine aesthetics by looking for aesthetic experience in the literary texts, while the remaining contributions explore issues related to the iconoclast controversy: An important moment in the development of Byzantine philosophy on the eve of iconoclasm is the primary interest of A. del Campo Echevarría, who looks at the question of universals in John of Damaskos. The relationship between image and text in Byzantine illustrated manuscripts occupies the attention of B. Crostini. D. Afinogenov explores from a philological perspective the fate of important iconophile terminology in Old Bulgarian, while L. Lukhovitskij reconstructs from historical and philological perspectives the historical memory of the iconoclast controversy during the Late Byzantine Period.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 561gContributor: Sergei Mariev (Edited by), Wiebke-Marie Stock (Edited by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Ancient History, Literary Criticism, Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Byzantinisches ArchivAuthor: Sergei MarievItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 170mmRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
