Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Goldbrakteaten zeigen auf kleinstem Raum eine reiche Ikonographie, deren Vorbilder vornehmlich auf den Münzen und Medaillons der konstantinischen Ära zu finden sind. Diese Vorbilder werden einem komplexen Aneignungsprozess unterworfen, um damit das eigene religiöse Weltbild zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Ähnliches gilt für die Münzlegenden, die zunächst nachgeahmt, dann aber durch Runeninschriften ersetzt werden. Diese repräsentieren etwa ein Drittel aller bisher bekannten Inschriften im älteren Futhark. Damit sind die Goldbrakteaten eine der wichtigsten Quellengattungen zur Erforschung der germanischen Religion. Ihr Verständnis wird zum einen durch die ikonographischen Vorbilder der Spätantike zum anderen durch die weit späteren Schriftzeugnisse der Isländer, namentlich der Lieder-Edda und der Snorra-Edda gefördert. Der hier vorgelegte Band vereint Beiträge einer Forschergruppe um den 2007 verstorbenen Doyen der Brakteatenforschung Karl Hauck. Neben einer ausführlichen Geschichte der Brakteatenforschung werden unterschiedliche Themen aus den Bereichen Ikonographie, Chronologie, Inschriften, Namensschatz sowie zum kulturellen und religiösen Umfeld der Goldbrakteaten erörtert. Ein ausführlicher Katalog präsentiert die Neufunde seit Abschluss des Ikonographischen Katalogs im Jahr 1989.

Download or read book The Cross Goes North written by Martin Carver and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 37 studies of the adoption of Christianity across northern Europe over1000 years, and the diverse reasons that drove the process. In Europe, the cross went north and east as the centuries unrolled: from the Dingle Peninsula to Estonia, and from the Alps to Lapland, ranging in time from Roman Britain and Gaul in the third and fourth centuries to the conversion of peoples in the Baltic area a thousand years later. These episodes of conversion form the basic narrative here. History encourages the belief that the adoption of Christianity was somehow irresistible, but specialists show theunderside of the process by turning the spotlight from the missionaries, who recorded their triumphs, to the converted, exploring their local situations and motives. What were the reactions of the northern peoples to the Christian message? Why would they wish to adopt it for the sake of its alliances? In what way did they adapt the Christian ethos and infrastructure to suit their own community? How did conversion affect the status of farmers, of smiths, of princes and of women? Was society wholly changed, or only in marginal matters of devotion and superstition? These are the issues discussed here by thirty-eight experts from across northern Europe; some answers come from astute re-readings of the texts alone, but most are owed to a combination of history, art history and archaeology working together. MARTIN CARVER is Professor of Archaeology, University of York.

Download or read book Iconic Costumes written by Ulla Mannering and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book presents a selection of the rich and varied iconographic material from the Scandinavian Late Iron Age (AD 400-1050) depicting clothed human figures, from an archaeological textile and clothing perspective. The source material consists of five object categories: gold foils, gold bracteates, helmet plaques, jewelry, and textile tapestries and comprises over 1000 different images of male and female costumes which are then systematically examined in conjunction with our present knowledge of archaeological textiles. In particular, the study explores the question of whether the selected images complement the archaeological clothing sources, through a new analytical tool which enables us to compare and contrast the object categories in regard to material, function, chronology, context and interpretation. The tool is used to record and analyze the numerous details of the iconographic costumes, and to facilitate a clear and easy description. This deliberate use of explicit costume shapes enhances our interpretation and understanding of the Late Iron Age clothing tradition. Thus, the majority of the costumes depicted are identified in the Scandinavian archaeological textile record, demonstrating that the depictions are a reliable source of research for both iconographical costume and archaeological clothing. The book contributes with new information on social, regional and chronological differences in clothing traditions from ca. AD 400 to the Viking Age.

Download or read book Narration and Hero written by Victor Millet and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early middle ages vernacular aristocratic traditions of heroic narration were firmly established in Western and Northern Europe. Although there are regional, linguistic and formal differences, one can observe a number of similarities. Oral literature disseminates a range of themes that are shared by narratives in most parts of the continent. In all the European regions, this tradition of heroic narration came into contact with Christianity, which led to modifications. Similar processes of adaptation and transformation can be traced everywhere in this field of early European vernacular narrative. But with the increasing specialization of academic fields over the last half century, inter-disciplinary dialogue has become increasingly difficult. The volume is a contribution to renew the inter-disciplinary dialogue about common themes, topics and motifs in Nordic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Germanic literature, and about the different methodologies to explore them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the relation of semiology to Western iconography is essential, as it is the element that, often unconsciously, influences perception in Western society. Scholars, such as Klaus Düwel with his outstanding knowledge of runic script, sometimes reach their limits if inscriptions are complemented with abstract images that may be accidental scratches or, on the other hand, a sign or signs indicating symbolic meaning.

Download or read book Rhapsody of Northern Art written by Peter Hupfauf and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhapsody of Northern Art presents fascinating artefacts produced between the late Bronze Age and the start of the Romanesque Period. Ancient objects from Northern Europe, exhibited in museums, are usually appreciated as documenting the past and reflecting its society. The people viewing these objects are able to become aware of skills and techniques that were applied many generations ago. However, a number of such objects should certainly be regarded more as works of fine art. Since the early 20th century, artists such as Duchamp have created “object art” and installations from contemporary artists often show art of a quality similar to that of some ancient Central and Northern European cultures. This book will serve to help and encourage readers to see and appreciate Bronze Age and early Medieval artefacts of Central and Northern Europe in the way they do works of art created by internationally well-known contemporary artists.

Download or read book Lady with a Mead Cup written by Michael J. Enright and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady with a Mead Cup is a broad-ranging, innovative and strikingly original study of the early medieval barbarian cup-offering ritual and its social, institutional and religious significance. Medievalists are familiar with the image of a queen offering a drink to a king or chieftain and to his retainers, the Wealhtheow scene in Beowulf being perhaps the most famous instance. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology and philology, as well as medieval history, Professor Enright has produced the first work in English on the warband and on the significance of barbarian drinking rituals. Lady with a Mead Cup will be of interest to students of Germanic or Celtic culture and kingship, anthropology and Dark Age religion.
