Overview

Elena Papastavrou and Marielle Martiniani-Reber, eds. Cahiers balkaniques. "L'évolution de la broderie de tradition byzantine en Méditerranée orientale et dans le monde slave (1200-1800)" ("The Evolution of the Byzantine Embroidery Tradition in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Slavic World (1200-1800)"), no 48 (2021): 1-254. [Online]

The 2021 issue of Cahiers Balkaniques (INALCO)is exceptionally dedicated to the Byzantine tradition of embroidery and its various afterlives/evolutions within the wider context of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Slavic world between 1200 and 1800. The volume brings together the research results of specialists from different areas and brings to light the evolution of Byzantine embroidery traditions from an interdisciplinary view that encompasses the iconography, styles, and techniques during the Byzantine and post-Byzantine periods. The volume responds equally to multiple questions: How did the various peoples who were the heirs of the culture perceive Byzantine embroidery? What was the artistic influence of certain embroidery centers that became influential after the fall of Byzantium? What were the Western and Eastern influences introduced into the Byzantine embroidery tradition?
