Revealing Christian Heritage

Beschreibung

This volume collects different case studies of rediscovery of Christian antiquities between 1860-1930 in Europe and the Mediterranean basin, in order to stimulate reflections about the impact of these rediscoveries on our culture in a period of great political transition.By turning the light on lesser-known stories on a wider European and Mediterranean horizon (Greece, Holy Land, Eritrea, Malta, Norway), this book gives a strong contribution to the history of Christian archaeology. All articles deal with many topics of the field (museology, cultural heritage protection law, history of religious orders, field archaeology, military explorations), and therefore offer a strong interdisciplinary cut.This book is first product of the international online workshop series "Revealing Christian Heritage. Talks on the rediscovery of Christian archaeology between 1860-1930".ContentsIntroductionMirella Romero RecioA Brief History of Christian Archaeology between 1860 and 1930Chiara CecalupoByzantine Artefacts versus Classical Antiquities: Questioning the early Heritage Protection in GreeceChiara MannoniChristian excavations in the Holy Land.
