Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Section One: History Section One: History -- Nicosia and Famagusta in the Frankish Period (1192–1474): Two Capitals for a Kingdom? -- Stephen of Mezel bishop of Famagusta and his Age (1244–1259) -- Refugees from Acre in Famagusta around 1300 -- Apprentice Artisans and Craftsmen in Famagusta in the notarial deeds of Lamberto di Sambuceto and Giovanni da Rocha, 1296–1310 -- The Mercenaries of Genoese Famagusta in the Fifteenth Century -- Maritime Trade in Famagusta during the Venetian Period (1474–1571) -- Section Two: Material Culture -- Made in Cyprus? Fourteenth-Century Mamluk Metal Ware for the West – the Question of Provenance -- Crusader Ideology , Propaganda, and the Art of the Carmelite Church in Fourteenth–Century Famagusta -- Identity Markers in the Art of Fourteenth-Century Famagusta -- Pillars and Punishment: Spolia and Colonial Authority in Venetian Famagusta -- Harmonizing the Sources: An Insight into the Appearance of the Hagios Georgios Complex at Various St ages of its Building History -- List of Contributors -- INDEX -- Illustrations
Summary: The Harbour of All This Sea and Realm offers an overview of the Lusignan, Genoese and Venetian history of the main port city of Cyprus, a Mediterranean crossroads. The essays contribute to the understanding of Famagusta's social and administrative structure, as well as the influences on its architectural, artisan, and art historical heritage from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. We read of crusader bishops from central France, metalworkers from Asia Minor, mercenaries from Genoa, refugees from Acre, and traders from Venice. The themes of the city's diasporas and cultural hybridity permeate and unify the essays in this collaborative effort. Some of the studies use archival sources to reconstruct the early stages of appearances of various buildings. Such research is of vital importance, given the threat to Famagusta's medieval and early modern heritage by its use as a military base since 1974.
