Klappentext This volume of "Dumbarton Oaks Papers" includes a study of military and diplomatic initiatives in the northwestern Balkans during the reign of Justinian I! with a focus on the role of the Germanic tribe of Gepids! and an analysis of descriptions of motherhood in Byzantine literature. Other articles treat the illustration of ninth-century marginal psalters! re-evaluate the so-called Frame Group of twelfth-century ivories! suggesting a possible provenance from the Holy Land! and discuss the tombs in the Monastery of the Lips in Constantinople. The volume concludes with a fieldwork report on the Monastery of Shenute at Suhag in Upper Egypt (the "White Monastery")! a fieldwork report on the recent restoration of the Zeyrek Camii (Pantokrator Monastery) in Constantinople! and a bioarchaeological analysis of skeletal material from Sourtara in northern Greece.
