VAT RETAIL PRICE ISBN: 978-2-503-59850-5 Paperback Available This volume is a contribution to the ongoing scholarly dialogue on a crucial topic, viz. the relations between East and West and their reflection in art and culture in late medieval Greece. BIO Sophia Kalopissi-Verti is Professor Emerita of Byzantine Archaeology at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. She is co-director of excavations of early Byzantine sites on the island of Kos (Dodecanese) and at Sinai, and the author of a book on Dedicatory Inscriptions and Donor Portraits in Thirteenth-Century Churches of Greece. Vicky Foskolou is Assistant Professor of Byzantine Archaeology at the University of Crete. Her research focuses on Byzantine monumental painting and iconography, cross-cultural exchanges between Byzantium and the West, and aspects of private devotion in the Byzantine world.

Issues of identity, patronage, papal policy, the missionary activities of the Latin religious orders and the reactions and responses of the Byzantines are also re-considered, offering fresh insights into and a better understanding of the various manifestations of the interrelationship between the two ethnicities, confessions and cultures. …
