Abstract

Heritage of the Mediterranean ”: a collection that aims to rediscover the spirit of places, to bring them back to life through their history, to arouse the imagination of the past. Each book, based on the most recent research findings, is organized around a privileged theme. From the tales of the first travelers to the tours organized today, Cappadocia has never ceased to amaze explorers and visitors alike, seduced by the combination of striking landscapes and monuments. Shaped by erosion, the soft tuff of the region has also been dug by man from a multitude of dwellings, refuges, tunnels, churches and monasteries. Byzantine archaeological evidence, which dates from the early Christian period to the 13th century, but is especially numerous in the 10th and 11th centuries, shed light on the history and society of this central province of Asia Minor, which was part of the Byzantine Empire until its conquest by the Seljuk Turks at the end of the 11th century. These varied remains partly give us back the life of a large rural population in a region which was not only monastic. By retracing the history of Cappadocia, by promoting the reading of monuments and their decorations, Catherine Jolivet-Lévy convinces us that it is indeed there that the memory of Byzantium remains alive.

Abstract

This volume presents the proceedings of the conference Materiality and Conversion: The Role of Material and Visual Cultures in the Christianization of the Latin West organized by the Centre for Early Medieval Studies in 2020. Its contributions thus focus on the Christianization of the Roman Empire between the fourth and sixth centuries. The studies examine the religious change through the "material turn" approach, building on the material and sensorial dimension of Christian conversion and especially the baptismal rite as one of the key components of the process. The material and visual cultures are regarded as vectors and witnesses of conversion to Christianity, while human body is viewed as one of the agents in ritual actions. The volume covers a wide range of topics, including the prebaptismal purification, the moment of immersion in the baptismal font, the postbaptismal alteration of perception, as well as the continuous changes in funeral forms. As such, the papers attempt to shed more light on the role of materiality in the complex and rapid conversion to Christianity in Late Antique West.
