Tsvika Tsuk, The Ancient Water System of Sepphoris (Land of Galilee 6)Jerusalem 2024ISBN 978-965-92534-5-6320 S./pp., zahlr. Farbabb./num. colour-figs., 27 x 20 cm; kartoniert/hardcover With its 8500 kilometers of coastline stretching from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, Turkey constitutes one of the most important geographies in the history of civilization. The maritime phenomenon was discovered tens of thousands of years ago on these coasts, where people have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Paleolithic remains found in Karain and Beldibi Caves in Antalya and Keldağ-Üçağızlı Caves in Hatay suggest that people who went to Crete and Cyprus, were from Anatolia, the closest coast. More than a thousand obsidian tools of Nevşehir origin, dating back at least ten thousand years, were found in the Northern Cyprus Tatlısu-Çiftlikdüzü excavations. People provided the transportation between the islands and the mainland with primitive sea vehicles. The most concrete example of this type of vehicle emerged in Anatolia, and wooden canoe paddles dated 8000 years ago were found in Istanbul Yenikapı. It is not surprising that the world’s oldest ships are found in such a geography. In Antalya, the Gelidonya Shipwreck dated to 1200 BCE was found in 1960, the Kaş-Uluburun shipwreck dated to the 14th century BCE in 1984, and the Kumluca shipwreck, which dates back to 16-15th BCE centuries in 2018. Both the shores of these seas and lakes & streams have witnessed the existence of many known and unknown cultures and their relations with each other for a long time. The seas separating Asia, Europe, and Africa simultaneously connected these continents through maritime means. Today, investigating these unknowns under the water is carried out within the framework of the discipline of Underwater Archaeology. Turkey is among the leading countries in the world both in the academic field and in the framework of underwater excavations and researches. This book has been prepared in order to put all the major studies done in Turkey on the map.

Marina Maraković – Tin Turković (eds.), TRANSLATIO IMAGINIS TRIUMPHALIS: Elephant in the Iconography of Power from Antiquity to the Early Modern AgeZagreb 2025ISBN 978-953-379-097-8 484 S./pp., zahlr. Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 25 x 19 cm; broschiert/softcover The authors address the issue of the translation of political power and the legitimacy of rule over the civilized world from antiquity to the early modern period, focusing on the image of the elephant and its role in triumphal iconography. The elephant is thus recognized as a proper imago triumphalis – the most obvious, most universal, and at the same time, the most easily comprehensible symbol of the idea of translatio. Through the analysis and interpretation of the use of this specific motif across several millennia of human history, a complex historical topic is made approachable and understandable, even to a wider audience.

Farb- und S/W-Abb./num. colour and b/w-figs., 24,5 x 19,5 cm; broschiert/softcoverThe International Sevgi Gönül Byzantine Studies Symposium, which has been held annually for the last seventeen years has made a remarkable contribution to the development of Byzantine studies in Turkey. The Sixth Symposium was held in 2023, marking the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Turkish Republic. The symposium took this opportunity to evaluate the progress of Byzantine studies in Turkey through a common platform, thus the title became, “A Century of Byzantine Studies in Turkey.” This volume contains the 27 papers presented at the symposium, investigating the different aspects of academic and archeological studies regarding Byzantium in the country, including analysis on the role of universities, field studies, restorations, museology and publishing among a range of topics.

Yelyzaveta I. Akhypova, Icons from the 10th–13th centuries in Stone, Bone and Ceramics from Ukraine.A catalogueCluj – Napoca 2025ISBN 978-606-020-907-2256 S./pp., Farb- und S/W-Abb./colour and b/w-figs., 28 x 22 cm; kartoniert/hardcover This book is devoted to a very special circle of works that have reached us from the art of Kyiv Rus of the late 10th-11th centuries, and from the artistic heritage of those principalities, which after the collapse of the vast Kyiv state were formed in the southern and south-western parts of its territory. These principalities continued to exist in the 12th-13th centuries, until the invasion of the Tatar-Mongol hordes in 1230-40s, i.e. in the pre-Mongol period, and partly survived in the following decades. When it comes to the artistic culture of that vast world, we usually remember, first of all, the ecclesiastical architecture, the mosaics and the frescoes of the churches of Kyiv and Chernihiv, the enormous 11th-century icons of Novgorod, made, apparently, by artisans then visiting Kyiv, the miniatures of the 1056-57 Ostromir Lectionary, the decorations of other outstanding illustrated manuscripts, as well as the precious gold and silver jewelry, decorated with cloisonné enamel and other exquisite methods of jewelry art. The monumental sculpture also existed in that world: carvings in white stone (limestone) on the facades of some churches, narrative and ornamental plastic of certain interior elements such as remarkable reliefs(both patterned and narrative) on the slate slabs that decorated Kyiv’s churches. However, monumental sculpture and relief played relatively a modest role in that artistic world. This assessment of the role of sculpture will not change much even if we recall the existence of wooden sculpture, the art inherited from pagan times and known to us from the few surviving relatively late works of the north-east and north-west of Rus, which being largely primitive in nature have reached us only in small numbers due to the poor preservation of the material employed.
