Study Day: 'East Meets West: Medieval and Renaissance Encounters'
FAB2.31

The day will allow us to examine religious, cultural, economic and intellectual contact between the East and West in a variety of contexts, from Byzantium to China. What kind of religious artefacts did the crusaders take from Constantinople on the Fourth Crusade? What kind of visual riddles did Orthodox icons present to the viewer? What were the differences and similarities between Protestant and Catholic missions to the East and what did Protestants and Catholics think about building up colonial empires? How was the study of astronomy in the West influenced by missionary encounters in China in the 17th and 18th centuries?
