| description | This study explores how the understanding of the Byzantine emperor as a sacred or divine figure changed in the Middle Byzantine period. It is based on close readings and studies of three medieval Passion relics held in Constantinople: the Mandylion, the relic-reliquary ensemble of the Limburg Staurotheke; and the Holy Stone. Accompanied by English-language translations of medieval Greek source texts pertaining to these relics, Sprecher demonstrates that the Passion relics in this period served to focus and narrow an understanding of the emperor not only as divinely appointed and anointed ruler, but also in surprising ways as being somehow divine himself. |

Diese Studie untersucht, wie sich das Verständnis des byzantinischen Kaisers als heilige oder göttliche Figur in der mittelbyzantinischen Periode veränderte. Sie stützt sich dabei auf die genaue Lektüre und das Studium dreier mittelalterlicher Passionsreliquien, die in Konstantinopel aufbewahrt wurden: des Mandylions, des Reliquienensembles der Limburger Staurotheke sowie des Heiligen Steins. Begleitet von ins Englische übersetzten mittelalterlichen griechischen Quellentexten, die sich auf diese Reliquien beziehen, zeigt Sprecher, dass die Passionsreliquien in dieser Zeit dazu dienten, den Kaiser nicht nur als von Gott ernannten und gesalbten Herrscher zu präsentieren, sondern ihn auf überraschende Weise auch selbst als göttlich erscheinen zu lassen. 2024-06-14T04:10:17Z 2024-06-14T04:10:17Z 2024-06-13T14:15:29Z 2024 book ONIX_20240613_9783968222257_5 2749-3024 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/90960 9783968222257 9783968222264 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/138880 ger Kulturelles Erbe: Materialität – Text – Edition (KEMTE) open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/90960/1/9783968222257.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/90960/1/9783968222257.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/90960/1/9783968222257.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/90960/1/9783968222257.pdf Heidelberg University Publishing (heiUP) heiUP 10.17885/heiup.1240 10.17885/heiup.1240 83eb0236-463a-4213-8a0f-dc16011f70aa 9783968222257 9783968222264 AG Universitätsverlage heiUP 241 Heidelberg open access |
