Greek and Roman Textiles and Dress
Twenty chapters present the range of current research into the study of textiles and dress in classical antiquity, stressing the need for cross and inter-disciplinarity study in order to gain the fullest picture of surviving material. Issues addressed include: the importance of studying textiles to understand economy and landscape in the past; different types of embellishments of dress from weaving techniques to the (late introduction) of embroidery; the close links between the language of ancient mathematics and weaving; the relationships of iconography to the realities of clothed bodies including a paper on the ground breaking research on the polychromy of ancient statuary; dye recipes and...

Textile Terminologies from the Orient to the Mediterranean and Europe, 1000 BC to 1000 AD
The papers in this volume derive from the conference on textile terminology held in June 2014 at the University of Copenhagen. Around 50 experts from the fields of Ancient History, Indo-European Studies, Semitic Philology, Assyriology, Classical Archaeology, and Terminology from twelve different countries came together at the Centre for Textile Research, to discuss textile terminology, semantic fields of clothing and technology, loan words, and developments of textile terms in Antiquity. They exchanged ideas, research results, and presented various views and methods. This volume contains 35 chapters, divided into five sections: - Textile terminologies across the ancient Near East and the Southern Levant - Textile terminologies in Europe and Egypt - Textile terminologies in metaphorical language and poetry - Textile terminologies: examples from China and Japan - Technical terms of textiles and textile tools and methodologies of classifications
Die Spätantiken Textilien aus der Papyrussammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek
Spätantike Textilien aus Ägypten (ca. 300–800 n. Chr.) zeigen einen unschätzbar großen Reichtum an Farben und webtechnischer Kunsthandfertigkeit. Dank besonderer klimatischer Bedingungen blieben sie über die Jahrhunderte erhalten. Eine Vielzahl gelangte über den Kunsthandel gegen Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in internationale Sammlungen und Museen, unter anderem in die Papyrussammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek in Wien. Sie beherbergt einen der bedeutendsten Bestände an spätantiken Textilien, von denen 238 Objekte – viele bislang noch nie publiziert – zum ersten Mal als ausführlicher Katalog mit webtechnischen und webtechnologischen Analysen und i...
Varieties of Post-classical and Byzantine Greek
Linguistic varieties such as female speech, foreigner talk, and colloquial language have not gone unnoticed when it comes to Classical Greek, but little is known about later periods of the Greek language. In this collective volume leading experts in the field outline some of the most important varieties of Post-classical and Byzantine Greek, basing themselves on a broad range of literary and documentary sources, and advancing a number of innovative methodologies. Close attention is paid to the linguistic features that characterize these varieties, with in-depth discussions of lexical, morpho-syntactic, orthographic, and metrical variation, as well as the interrelationship between these different types of variation. The volume thus offers valuable insights into the nature of Post-classical and Byzantine Greek, laying the foundation for future studies of linguistic variation in these later stages of the language, while at the same time providing a point of comparison for Classical Greek scholarship
Kingly Splendor
The Western Han dynasty (202 BCE–9 CE) was a foundational period for the artistic culture of ancient China, a fact particularly visible in the era’s funerary art. Iconic forms of Chinese art such as dazzling suits of jade; cavernous, rock-cut mountain tombs; fancifully ornate wall paintings; and armies of miniature terracotta warriors were prepared for the tombs of the elite during this period. Many of the finest objects of the Western Han have been excavated from the tombs of kings, who administered local provinces on behalf of the emperors. Allison R. Miller paints a new picture of elite art production by revealing the contributions of the kings to Western Han artistic culture. She dem...
