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. 606 $aChristian art and symbolism$zMiddle East$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aChristian saints in art 606 $aIslamic art and symbolism$zMiddle East 606 $aART / History / Medieval$2bisacsh 615 0$aChristian art and symbolism 615 0$aChristian saints in art. 615 0$aIslamic art and symbolism 615 7$aART / History / Medieval. 676 $a704.94863 700 $aBadamo$b Heather A$01827995 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911009244603321 996 $aSaint George Between Empires$94396077 997 $aUNINA
