Abstract

Au cours de leur installation à Rhodes pendant environ deux siècles, les Chevaliers Hospitaliers ont superposé une forteresse-monastère à la ville byzantine. La conquête ottomane a entraîné ensuite dans la ville un processus d’islamisation qui s’est traduit par une large réutilisation du bâti existant. Les modalités de ces opérations demeurent peu connues. Cet ouvrage propose un voyage dans l’histoire de Rhodes entre le Moyen Âge et le début de l’époque moderne, afin de retracer les phases de son accroissement urbain et les interactions entre l’architecture religieuse et la forma urbis. Cette étude s’appuie sur les outils de l’analyse spatiale et morphologique, qui a une partie importante dans les études d’archéologie urbaine, ainsi que sur un corpus de sources variées : les manuscrits de l’Ordre, les récits de voyage, l’iconographie et les données archéologiques. Une partie de l’ouvrage est consacrée enfin au recensement et à une analyse comparative des églises et des mosquées urbaines : bien que souvent limitée à une dimension régionale, la production architecturale et artistique à Rhodes est étroitement liée à des réalisations plus prestigieuses d’inspiration byzantine et gothique, ainsi que du monde ottoman. Dans un contexte actuel où l’urbanisation contemporaine côtoie tant le patrimoine bâti le plus connu que les vestiges archéologiques mineurs, Rhodes s’avère être un véritable « laboratoire urbain » dont l’histoire demeure un champ en construction.

Abstract

Guillaume Caoursin, the Vice-chancellor of the Order of the Hospital, wrote the Obsidionis Rhodiae urbis descriptio (Description of the Siege of Rhodes) as the official record of the Ottoman siege of the Knights in Rhodes in 1480. The Descriptio was the first authorized account of the Order's activities to appear in printed form, and it became one of the best sellers of the 15th century. The publication of the Descriptio not only fed Western Europe's hunger for news about an important Christian victory in the ongoing war with the Turks, it also served to shape public perceptions of the Hospit

Abstract

With its emphasis on the dynasty's concern for control of the sea - both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea - and the Nile, this book offers a new and original perspective on Ptolemaic power in a key period of Hellenistic history. Within the developing Aegean empire of the Ptolemies, the role of the navy is examined together with that of its admirals. Egypt's close relationship to Rhodes is subjected to scrutiny, as is the constant threat of piracy to the transport of goods on the Nile and by sea. Along with the trade in grain came the exchange of other products. Ptolemaic kings used their wealth for luxury ships and the dissemination of royal portraiture was accompanied by royal cult. Alexandria, the new capital of Egypt, attracted poets, scholars and even philosophers; geographical exploration by sea was a feature of the period and observations of the time enjoyed a long afterlife.

Abstract

"In Staging Holiness. The Case of Hospitaller Rhodes (ca. 1309-1522) Sofia Zoitou offers a study of the history of relic collections, devotional rituals and sites invested with special meaning in Rhodes, during a time when the island became one of the most frequented ports of call for ships carrying pilgrims from Venice to the Holy Land. Scrutinizing late medieval travel reports by pilgrims from all over Europe along with extant historical, archaeological, visual and material evidence, Sofia Zoitou traces the various forms of the Rhodian cultic sites' evolution and perception, ultimately considered as an overall artistic strategy for the staging of the sacred"--
