Where it came from
Kariye, published by Sine nomine in 1999, serves as an academic and visual exploration of the Chora Church in Istanbul, known for its intricate Byzantine mosaics and frescoes. The work of Edda Renker Weissenbacher, this volume was produced to document the historical and theological significance of the site, providing readers with a detailed narrative regarding the site's transition from Byzantine monastery to Ottoman mosque and its subsequent restoration as a museum.
The design of the book reflects a mid-to-late 1990s commitment to art-historical documentation, prioritizing high-quality plate reproductions and scholarly context. Weissenbacher approached the subject with the intent of bridging the gap between specialized academic inquiry and the aesthetic appreciation of the Chora's unique iconographic program. Upon its release, it was received as a respectful and well-researched contribution to the study of Late Byzantine art.
