This is a comprehensive study of the surviving monuments of the Qarakhanids – an important yet little-known medieval dynasty that ruled much of Central Asia between the late 10th and early 13th centuries. Based on extensive fieldwork and many hard-to-find Russian sources, the book places the surviving monuments into the wider cultural context of the region. Many photographs and new ground-plans are included, as well as detailed studies of individual monuments and the wider architectural aesthetic. These monuments serve as the link between the mostly lost Samanid architecture and the far larger and better-known monuments of the Timurids.

Описание: This volume explores the interrelationship of the literature, monuments, and urban landscape of Augustan Rome.

Описание: In the historiography of trade in the Middle Ages, there is a wide current of theoretical consideration referring to the ways contemporaries perceived trade. The present work pays specific attention to how trade functioned within the range of the influence of the Ottonian Empire and Byzantium, from the 10th to 12th centuries. This book attempts to verify these concepts in the extensive available source. The manner of circulation of goods and the phenomenon of accumulating goods is a significant product of the present book, demonstrating how imperial influences that perceived through the prism of generative centres on the peripheries of Europe. This volume is the English translation of Handel interregionalny od X do XII wieku. Europa Srodkowa, Srodkowo-Wschodnia, Polwysep Skandynawski i Polwysep Balkanski.

Описание: Much has been written about the Imperial architecture of the Indian subcontinent, but this is the first book to dig deeply into the extent of imperial extravagance set against the economic and social conditions of ordinary subjects. Bhalla uses an extensive collection of illustrations to complement this apparent paradox, assessing three Indian empires – Hindu, Muslim and British. From the 3rd century BC through to the end of British colonialism, splendid and often deliberately ostentatious buildings glorified the contemporary social structures. Moving through these different periods, important symbols of the various empires are assessed, including the fort palaces of Agra, Delhi and Lahore and the Taj Mahal. The author here examines both the positives and negatives of empire, taking in social stability but also exploitation and oppression, exploring the subject of Indian poverty in a historical perspective alongside the more lasting symbols of empire. Through comparisons and contrasts, from the mausolea and palaces of the Mughals to the government buildings and memorials provided by the British, this is a comprehensive and well-researched overview of a country whose architectural history gives important insights into the diversity of its rulers. This unique look into colonial architecture and power dynamics will prove essential readers for students, researchers and all those with an interest in South Asian history or the history of architecture.

Описание: Aims to investigate all surviving texts associated with the Monastery of the Theotokos Evergetis founded in 1049 near Constantinople. This title presents a translation of the "Hypotyposis" (the monastery`s foundation document), accompanied by detailed notes. It also includes prosopographical material on the known patrons of the monastery.
Anschlie?end an sein Buch Das Holz und seine Verbindungen, das seit mehr als 20 Jahren ein Grundlagenwerk fur den reinen Holzbau darstellt und in der 3. Auflage vorliegt, widmet sich Klaus Zwerger hier der Geschichte, Konstruktion und Typologie eines besonderen Bautyps: Die Getreideharfen dienten in den agrarischen Kulturen vieler Lander und Kontinente zum Trocknen des geschnittenen Getreides. Uber Jahrhunderte bildeten sich ebenso ausgereifte wie individuelle Bauten von gro?er Schonheit in ihrer funktionalen Effizienz heraus.
Auf zahllosen Reisen hat der Autor die heute noch erhaltenen Bauten aufgespurt. In detaillierten Beschreibungen, eingebettet in bau- und kulturgeschichtliche Zusammenhange, kommen sie ebenso zur Geltung wie in den in Duoton wiedergegebenen Schwarzwei?fotografien und Strichzeichnungen.
