L'Officina dello sguardo
I due volumi raccolgono contributi di autorevoli studiosi italiani e stranieri che, partendo dalla pluralità di orizzonti di interesse di Maria Andaloro, avviano inediti percorsi critici e storiografici. Se I luoghi dell’arte, titolo della prima serie di saggi, s’incentra sulla geografia artistica della Sicilia e del Mediterraneo, di Roma e di Bisanzio nel Medioevo, raggiungendo però anche territori ‘altri’, dall’Anatolia preistorica fino alla Cina, la seconda raccolta, Immagine, memoria, materia, sviluppa una varietà di affondi tematici che comprende gli sguardi dell’estetica, della critica d’arte, della diagnostica e del restauro, in omaggio al pensiero della studiosa, sempre volto a riunificare e al contempo a distinguere i molteplici ambiti del sapere artistico, in un’ottica di vitale complessità creativa.
Mount Sinai
A mountain peak above Saint Catherine’s Monastery in Egypt, Mount Sinai is best known as the site where Moses received the Ten Commandments in the biblical Book of Exodus. Mount Sinai brings this rich history to light, exploring the ways in which the landscape of Mount Sinai’s summit has been experienced and transformed over the centuries, from the third century BCE to World War I. As an important site for multiple religions, Mount Sinai has become a major destination for hundreds of visitors per day. In this multifaceted book, George Manginis delves into the natural environment of Mount Sinai, its importance in the Muslim tradition, the cult of Saint Catherine, the medieval pilgrimage phenomenon, modern-day tourism, and much more. Featuring notes, a bibliography, and illustrations from nineteenth-century travelers’ books, this deft blend of historical analysis, art history, and archaeological interpretation will appeal to tourists and scholars alike.

Aristotle East and West
This book traces the development of conceptions of God and the relationship between God's being and activity from Aristotle, through the pagan Neoplatonists, to thinkers such as Augustine, Boethius and Aquinas (in the West) and Dionysius the Areopagite, Maximus the Confessor and Gregory Palamas (in the East). The result is a comparative history of philosophical thought in the two halves of Christendom, providing a philosophical backdrop to the schism between the Eastern and Western Churches.
