The research paper is dwelling on three openwork medallions from the gold Preslav treasure, discovered in 1979. Their dating is based on Byzantine silver coins of the co-emperors Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos and Romanos II (945?959) and on the other artworks of the Early Medieval jewellery, also part of the treasure.00Table of contents: 0- The magnificent Veliki Preslav; 0- The treasure; 0- The tree medallions; 0- Study and socialization of the jewellery items; 0- Description of the jewellery; 0- Technological morphology; 0- Comparative analysis of the characterictic details; 0- Historical localisation of the "second" neclace from the Preslav Treasure; 0- Bibliography.
Serves as both visual and textual record of the exhibition of the same name, surveying the art of the Middle Byzantine period from the restoration of the use of icons by the Orthodox Church in 843 to the occupation of Constantinople by the Crusader forces from the West from 1204 to 1261. Conceived as a sequel to the 1976 exhibition "Age of Spirituality," which focused on the first centuries of Byzantium. Preceding the catalogue, 17 essays treat the historical context, religious sphere, and secular courtly realm of the empire, and the interactions between Byzantium and other medieval cultures. Abundantly illustrated. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Treasures of many kinds still lie hidden below crumbling castles and ruined monasteries; in macabre tombs; in subterranean labyrinths and sinister caverns. Many sunken treasures lie beneath the seas, oceans and lakes of the world. Vast stores of pirate gold are still hidden on many a real life treasure island such as Oak Island at Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. Many treasures were looted, hidden and lost after the two World Wars - Hermann Goering, for example, one of most powerful leaders of Nazi Germany, is strongly suspected of hiding huge treasures at Veldenstein and Lake Zeller. This fascinating, expertly researched book brilliantly reveals all these unsolved mysteries. The final section covers useful ideas for treasure-seekers: the study of old maps and charts; coded messages; secret symbols; and intensive research into the lives and locations of those people through out history who probably in all certainty, had treasure to hide.
