The church of Asinou is among the most famous in Cyprus. Built around 1100, the edifice, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is decorated with accretions of images, from the famous fresco cycle executed shortly after initial construction to those made in the early seventeenth century. During this period the church served the adjacent monastery of the Mother of God ton Phorbion ("of the vetches"), and was subject to Byzantine, Lusignan (1191-1474), Venetian (1474-1570), and Ottoman rule. This monograph is the first on one of Cyprus's major diachronically painted churches. Written by an international team of renowned scholars, the book sets the accumulating phases of Asinou's art and architecture in the context of the changing fortunes of the valley, of Cyprus, and of the eastern Mediterranean. Chapters include the first continuous history of the church and its immediate setting; a thorough analysis of its architecture; editions, translations, and commentary on the poetic inscriptions; art-historical studies of the post-1105/6 images in the narthex and nave; a detailed comparative analysis of the physical and chemical properties of the frescoes; and a diachronic table of paleographical forms.

L’enquête menée sur la perception des conversions à l’islam dans la littérature historique des XIXe et XXe siècles a abouti à la publication d’une bibliographie raisonnée, parue dans la collection Mondes méditerranéens et balkaniques de l’École française d’Athènes, en 2011 (MMB 3). Poursuivant la réflexion engagée sur les époques seldjoukide et ottomane, en Asie Mineure et dans les Balkans, onze historiens et spécialistes de sciences humaines, réunis lors d’un colloque en 2012, considèrent la conversion à l’islam sous divers angles, à des époques distinctes. Les études réunies reviennent sur les contextes micrasiatiques ou balkaniques et examinent d’autres situations culturelles et temporelles : les débuts de l’islam, la Syrie des XVIIe-XIXe siècles, la péninsule indienne, l’archipel insulindien, sans oublier les modalités spécifiques aux groupes juifs (marranes, morisques, dönme-s). Research on how conversions to Islam were perceived in the historical literature of the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in the publication of an annotated bibliography in 2011 as part of the Mondes méditerranéens et balkaniques series of the French School at Athens (MMB 3). Continuing the ongoing discussion of the Seljuk and Ottoman eras in Asia Minor and the Balkans, eleven historians and humanities specialists, participants in a 2012 conference, consider conversion to Islam from a range of different perspectives, in different periods. The articles in this collection reconsider the Asia Minor and Balkan contexts and look at other cultures and time periods, such as the beginnings of Islam, Syria during the 17th-19th centuries, the Indian peninsula, and the Insulindian archipelago, while also paying attention to processes specific to Jewish groups (Marranos, Moriscos and Dönme-s).
