  • Descrição: (ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) Based on a colloquium held in Baltimore in 2007, this book makes a major contribution to the scholarly literature on the church of San Marco in Venice.1 Perhaps the most Byzantine-style medieval building outside the Greek world, San Marco has often been studied through Byzantine spectacles, most notably in the seminal monographs of Otto Demus.2 Of course, there have been many studies of the church since Demus, most notably the four volumes published in 1997 following the nine-hundreth anniversary of the consecration of the present church in 1094.3 This book generously acknowledges the foundations laid by Demus and others, but its range of interpretative strategies allows the accretions of myth and legend, as well as political and religious ideologies, to be incorporated into its more multivalent readings of works of art. Drawing on a vast range of literature in many languages, the authors of this volume free the subject from its insistent dependence on Byzantium. [...]they offer a useful analysis of the changing perspectives revealed in the historiography, from medieval chronicles onwards. From the outset the church had a dual function: as the burial place of the Apostle Mark, whose relics were brought from Alexandria in 828/9, and as the palatine chapel attached to the doge's palace. Because the dogeship was an elected office, the church served not as the private chapel for a dynastic head of state, but as the focus of elaborate civic ritual.
