This book is both a history of Constantinople (now Istanbul) and a description as it would have appeared in 1906 when this book was first published. There are many beautiful watercolor paintings depicting both scenes and people encountered. The author describes each with much information about the relevant facts.

This book is about the Christ Pantokrator, an imposing monumental complex serving monastic, dynastic, medical and social purposes in Constantinople, founded by Emperor John II Komnenos and Empress Piroska-Eirene in 1118. Now called the Zeyrek Mosque, the second largest Byzantine religious edifice after Hagia Sophia still standing in Istanbul represents the most remarkable architectural and the most ambitious social project of the Komnenian dynasty. This volume approaches the Pantokrator from a special perspective, focusing on its co-founder, Empress Piroska-Eirene, the daughter of the Hungarian king Ladislaus I. This particular vantage point enables its authors to explore not only the architecture, the monastic and medical functions of the complex, but also Hungarian-Byzantine relations, the cultural and religious history of early medieval Hungary, imperial representation, personal faith and dynastic holiness. Piroska's wedding with John Komnenos came to be perceived as a union of East and West. The life of the Empress, a "sainted ruler," and her memory in early Árpádian Hungary and Komnenian Byzantium are discussed in the context of women and power, monastic foundations, architectural innovations, and spiritual models.

The Byzantine cathedral of Hagia Sophia has been a source of wonder and fascination since its sixth-century construction. It was the premier monument of the Byzantine capital, Constantinople, and remains one of the most recognisable symbols of modern Istanbul. Often seen as encapsulating Byzantine history and culture, the building has been the subject of much scholarly interest since the Renaissance. However, while almost all previous archaeological work has focussed on the church itself, the surrounding complex of ecclesiastical buildings has been largely neglected. The research project presented here (co-directed by the authors) is the first to focus on the archaeology of the immediate environs of the church in order to understand the complex as a whole. Previously unrecorded material includes parts of the Patriarchal complex, from which the Orthodox Church was governed for almost a millennium, what may be the `Great Baptistery' north of the church, and what are perhaps the first fragments of the fourth-century phase of the cathedral yet identified. The discovery of an unrecognised porch, surviving to its full height within the standing building, changes the known plan of the famous sixth-century church. This new information provides fresh evidence about the appearance and function of the complex, illustrating its similarities to, and dissimilarities from, episcopal centres elsewhere in the Byzantine world. Combined with other archaeological sources, these discoveries enable us to place the sixth-century cathedral in its urban context and to reconsider what Hagia Sophia can tell us about the wider Byzantine world.

Le Catalogue, le second de la série consacrée aux manuscrits grecs conservés au Patriarcat oecuménique à Istanbul, décrit les manuscrits provenant du monastère de la Sainte-Trinité situé sur l’île de Chalki. Le premier volume contient, après une brève introduction, la description des 147 manuscrits qui constituent ce fonds et se termine par les index d’usage, très détaillés ; le second volume est réservé aux illustrations, soit 359 planches photographiques, pour la plupart en couleur : 307 planches pour les écritures et les décors, 43 planches pour les reliures, et 9 planches pour les petits fers de reliure. Répondant aux normes scientifiques modernes, il remplace le catalogue antérieur d’Aemilianos Tsakopoulos (1956). Le fonds de la Sainte-Trinité est principalement constitué des manuscrits rassemblés à l’époque de la refondation du monastère de la Sainte-Trinité par le futur patriarche Métrophane III (1565-1572, 1578-1580) au milieu du 16e siècle et dans les décennies qui suivirent. La physionomie d’ensemble de la collection est donc étroitement liée à cette double origine. D’une part il s’agit d’une bibliothèque monastique, et les manuscrits ont principalement un contenu liturgique et religieux, même si la littérature classique n’en est pas absente. D’autre part, elle a été fondée par un futur patriarche, bibliophile de surcroît, qui a continué à la protéger et l’enrichir une fois devenu patriarche ; de ce fait, la presque totalité de manuscrits est antérieure au 16e siècle, et on y trouve un nombre important de manuscrits anciens de belle facture, mais aussi des manuscrits contenant des textes rares ainsi que plusieurs palimpsestes. Les abondantes annotations qu’ils portent en font une source de premier ordre pour écrire l’histoire du monastère de la Sainte-Trinité, qui fera l’objet d’un volume séparé dans la même série, et plus largement du Patriarcat et des institutions monastiques de Constantinople et de sa région sous l’Empire ottoman. Réalisé sous l’égide de Sa Sainteté Bartholomée, dans le cadre d’un programme plus large sur l’histoire des bibliothèques grecques dans l’Empire ottoman financé par l’Agence nationale de la recherche, ce catalogue est l’oeuvre de quatre chercheurs de l’Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (CNRS), André Binggeli, Matthieu Cassin, Marie Cronier, et Matoula Kouroupou.
