Contents

In writing this book, I have had the benefit of studying and working at an excellent institution, the use of the finest libraries and generous funding from several sources.

I wish particularly to thank Robin Cormack who supervised my doctoral research at the Courtauld Institute of Art. He was a considerate and expert advisor and has since been encouraging and responsive, and his extensive knowledge and informed approach has contributed greatly to my work. My study of children in Byzantium began under the guidance of Anna Kartsonis at the University of Washington in Seattle, for whose keen direction and warm attention I am very grateful.

It has also been a pleasure to work in the libraries associated with the University of London and particularly in the Warburg library. I am grateful for access to manuscripts at the Bibliothque nationale, the Vatican, the British Library and the Bodleian Library.

I am deeply indebted to the Arts and Humanities Research Board for a three-year studentship and for additional travel funds enabling research in Greece and in Turkey. I am also grateful to the University of London Central Research Fund for two travel grants for study in Italy, in Greece and at Dumbarton Oaks, and to the Courtauld Institute of Art and to the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies for grants for research in Paris and at the Vatican, and to the Academic Research Board at the Courtauld Institute of Art for further funding.

I am appreciative to Antony Eastmond and to Liz James for constructive suggestions on my work and to Kriszta Kotsis and Kathleen Doyle who both gave detailed and useful criticism as well as to anonymous reviewers who gave valuable recommendations. Many have offered me bibliographic suggestions, advice, discussion, access to unpublished work, photography, hospitality and practical assistance. These include Alixe Bovey, Jas Elsner, John Lowden, Nikos Kalogeras and Rossitza Roussanova.

Thank you all.

Chapter 1
Setting

Byzantium, established as the eastern capital by Constantine in the early fourth century, inherited the laws, the societal habits, and the imagery of Rome and included the nascent elements of Christianity. In Constantinople on the shores of the Bosphoros and, at certain points during the 1,200 years of Byzantine culture, as far afield as Egypt and Syria, Sicily and Russia, a complex and fluctuating culture developed which in turn, throughout its history, contributed significantly to the practices and visual ideologies of western society. If not only for its intrinsic value, for its crucial influence on western visual material Byzantium is increasingly seen as a vital region of interest.
