Book Synopsis Castles of the Morea by : Kevin Andrews
Download or read book Castles of the Morea written by Kevin Andrews and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1953, this book presents a description of 16 of the larger medieval fortresses in the Peloponnese, occupied by the Venetians between 1685 and 1715. It is also a beautifully written celebration of some of Greece's most striking, but also least studied, architectural monuments, inspired by a unique collection of 17th-century fortification plans (the Grimani codex) preserved in the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. The author first saw the plans in 1948 and devoted the next four years of his life to a historical and archaeological investigation of the castles they depicted. At a time when most of the students at the American School were studying the classics, his interest in later Greek history was pioneering. He not only searched out hundreds of obscure documentary sources but also made a point of visiting, and personally describing and photographing, every castle. This was not an easy thing to do at the tail end of the Greek Civil War. The final publication was an instant classic, marked out by its evocative prose and Andrews's obvious fascination with the subject. The book has been long out of print. This new edition presents Andrews's original text with a new introduction which sets the work in context and discusses some of the developments in Greek castle studies since the 1950s. The Grimani maps, originally printed only in black and white, are now presented in their original colors.

Book Synopsis Castles of Northwest Greece by : Allan Brooks
Download or read book Castles of Northwest Greece written by Allan Brooks and published by Aetos Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northwest Greece has always been relatively isolated from the rest of the Greek mainland and, with the exception of small pockets of intense development on the coast, is still little visited by foreign tourists. Modern guidebooks of necessity concentrate on the few important classical and Hellenistic sites with only passing reference to medieval and later fortifications. Yet these monuments bear witness to the complex later history of the region when Norman, Italian, Angevin, Serbian, Venetian, Turkish and Albanian invaders competed for control. This book is intended to redress this imbalance by providing a detailed guide to a selection of the castles and forts of the area dating from the early Byzantine period to the eve of the First World War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly illustrated monograph (250 figures, 12 maps) showcasing castles and fortified towns of the Peloponnese garrisoned up to period of the Greek War of Independence (1820s). These castles were captured and retaken by the Venetians and their arch-enemies the Ottoman Turks during their centuries-long epic struggle for the domination of the southern Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean. Several of these seemingly impregnable fortresses (such as Mount Palamede at Nauplia, Modon and the New Castle of the Morea), designed by some of the most brilliant military engineers of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Era, were state-of-the-art and to this day remain as a testament to their superb technical expertise. These strategic strongholds commanded the lands, on occasions providing safe havens, in other times forcing the local populations into submission. Newly-discovered material from the Venetian archives, with the addition of a large array of recently-published contributions for the Ottoman periods, combined with an updated examination of each of these fortresses will vastly add to the public's knowledge of Medieval and Early Modern southern Greece.

Download or read book Land of Sikyon written by Yannis A. Lolos and published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 671 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Sikyon, in the northeastern Peloponnese, was a major player on the Mediterranean stage, especially in the Archaic and Hellenistic periods. This comprehensive study combines a discussion of the geological and historical background with the results of original research based on many years of archaeological fieldwork. Author Yannis Lolos, drawing upon the limited excavations in Sikyonia, literary sources, and mostly his own extensive survey data, traces the history of the human presence in the territory of Sikyon from prehistory to the early modern period. A series of detailed maps plots the position of many previously unknown roads, fortifications, and settlement sites.

Download or read book Medieval Greece written by Michael Heslop and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval Greece brings together twelve articles by historian Michael Heslop, showcasing his long-standing interest in the medieval castles of Greece. Ten of the articles in this volume focus on the Dodecanese islands, mainly Rhodes, at the time of their rule by the Hospitallers during the period 1306–1522. Scholarly and popular interest in the military orders has grown substantially over the last twenty years, but comparatively little has been written about the Hospitaller Dodecanese. What distinguishes this work is the author’s use of hitherto unpublished documents from the Hospitaller archives in Malta and his assiduous field work on the island sites discussed. Heslop’s work on the Hospitallers on the island of Rhodes has also enabled him to put together an important gazetteer of place-names in the countryside of Rhodes, published here for the first time. The remaining two chapters of the collection summarize ground-breaking detective work to locate Villehardouin’s ‘lost’ castle of Grand Magne in the Mani, and present a wider study of Byzantine fortifications in medieval Greece. This book will appeal to scholars and students of medieval history, and to all those interested in the history of the Hospitallers.

Book Synopsis Unknown Crusader Castles by : Kristian Molin
Download or read book Unknown Crusader Castles written by Kristian Molin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capture of Jerusalem by the First Crusade in 1099 signalled the beginning of an armed struggle in Palestine and throughout the Eastern Mediterranean which lasted until the 15th century. It was a war dominated by the building, securing and besieging of castles rather than by pitched battles. Kristian Molin covers the military history of the crusades on a wider geographical scale than previous historians, taking in Armenia, Cyprus and Greece as well as the Holy Land. He also shows the role of castles as administrative, judicial and social centres in times of peace as well as in war. "Unknown Crusader Castles" provides a fresh perspective on the history of the crusades.
