This book argues that the provenance of early modern and medieval objects from Islamic lands was largely forgotten until the "long" eighteenth century, when the first efforts were made to reconnect them with the historical contexts in which they were produced. For the first time, these Islamicate objects were read, studied and classified – and given a new place in history. Freed by scientific interest, they were used in new ways and found new homes, including in museums. More generally, the process of "rediscovery" opened up the prehistory of the discipline of Islamic art history and had a significant impact on conceptions of cultural boundaries, differences and identity. The book will be of interest to scholars working in the history of art, the art of the Islamic world, early modern history and art historiography.

Roger II’s famous mantle and other royal garments from twelfth- and thirteenth-century Sicily prominently display Arabic inscriptions. While the phenomenon is highly unusual in the context of Latin Christian kingship, the use of inscriptions as a textile ornament was common and imbued with political functions in the Islamic courts of the medieval Mediterranean. This case study of the inscribed garments from Norman Sicily draws attention to the diverse functions of Arabic textile inscriptions using various contextual frames. Such a contextual approach not only highlights the specificities of the Norman textile inscriptions and emphasises the practical and political choices underlying their use at the Sicilian court, it also pinpoints the flaws of universalising approaches to transcultural ornamental in circulation in the medieval Mediterranean. This new perspective on the royal garments from Norman Sicily draws from a variety of disciplines, including Islamic and European art history, the history of textiles, epigraphy, legal history and historiography, and aims to challenge established notions of cultural and disciplinary boundaries.

The east windows in Greifswald Cathedral are Olafur Eliasson's first glass works in a church interior. The artist, known for his light installations, is thereby joining the ranks of contemporary artists who have designed windows in medieval churches. At the same time, Eliasson is drawing on a romantic vision of the cathedral, which was fundamentally remodelled between 1824 and 1832. The bright, whitewashed interior in neo-Gothic style still defines the overall impression of the brick building today, as coloured windows could not be used at the time. Eliasson approaches the romantic spatial vision with extreme awareness and reinterprets it. Inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's colour palette, his window is about the perception of light in constant change, about time and infinity. Text: parallel-text German and English
