Description: Herakleion: Crete University Press, 2010. 29cm., hardcover, 667pp. illus. Summary: The Multilingual Illustrated Dictionary of Byzantine Architecture and Sculpture Terminology contains terms of Byzantine architecture and sculpture in current scholarly usage. For each term of the source language (Greek), the corresponding term and its synonyms are given in nine target languages: English, Albanian, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Russian and Serbian. Lemmata are accompanied by drawings and photographs, chosen in order to assist interpretation. The present edition hopes to fill a major gap in the relevant literature, since no work of similar scope is available either in Greek or any other language, and to constitute a usefultool for researchers in Byzantine archaeology. The aim of the Dictionary is firstly to construct a list of the terms used for the denotation of specific elements, items or types, which will serve as an incentive for the creation of a thesaurus of common terminology, and secondly to preserve, thanks to the listing of synonyms, the wealth of linguistic resources of each national language. At the same time, the Dictionary will encourage the production and reception of works in these languages and will enhance linguistic plurality within the framework of European multiculturalism.
