"Built from 532 to 537 as the Cathedral of Constantinople, Hagia Sophia was little studied and seldom recognized as a great monument of world art until the nineteenth century, and Nelson examines the causes and consequences of the building's newly elevated status during that time. He chronicles the grand dome's modern history through a vibrant cast of characters--emperors, sultans, critics, poets, archaeologists, architects, philanthropists, and religious congregations--some of whom spent years studying it, others never visiting the building. But as Nelson shows, they all had a hand in the recreation of Hagia Sophia as a modern architectural icon. By many means and for its own purposes, the West has conceptually transformed Hagia Sophia into the international symbol that it is today. While other books have covered the architectural history of the structure, this is the first study to address its status as a modern monument. With his narrative of the building's rebirth, Nelson captures its importance for the diverse communities that shape and find meaning in Hagia Sophia."

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.

"Dal 1996 al 2016 il prof. Eugenio Russo ha goduto di un privilegio speciale per uno studioso, ovverosia la possibilità di trascorrere alcune settimane ogni anno all'interno dell'Ayasofya Müzesi d'Istanbul, grazie ad un'autorizzazione concessa annualmente dal Governo Turco quale direttore della ricerca su "La scultura architettonica e decorativa bizantina in Turchia", che dal 2010 si è concentrata unicamente su S. Sofia con un programma di ricerca che non si limitava ad un solo aspetto della decorazione scultorea, ma ne abbracciava tutte le tipologie presenti. La raccolta e documentazione di tutta la decorazione scultorea di S. Sofia ha comportato un paziente lavoro dentro l'edificio; man mano che la ricerca procedeva, si sono imposti i problemi legati a un'interpretazione globale del monumento secondo la visione di Antemio e Isidoro, al di là di una pur accurata e precisa raccolta di materiali: la ricerca ha così subito un ampliamento e una deviazione rispetto ai programmi iniziali, diventando prioritaria l'esatta valutazione dell'opera d'Isidoro il Giovane. Per questa e molteplici altre ragioni, Santa Sofia è un'avventura intellettuale esaltante e intensissima: è infatti una sfida costante all'intelligenza quella che lanciano Antemio e Isidoro, essendo la loro costruzione "un delirio dell'intelligenza". Una sfida cui si è cercato di rispondere fin dai tempi di Procopio di Cesarea. Santa Sofia è infatti il monumento più difficile per lo studio e la comprensione, più difficile del San Marco di Venezia, e richiede una grande disciplina: non tollera visite o esami più o meno brevi, esige tempi lunghi di osservazione e di meditazione; soltanto così l'azione diventa consapevole e la ricerca può dare risultati soddisfacenti."--
