Document Details : Title: Iconographie, panthéons et cultes dans le Fayoum héllénisé des deux premiers siècles de notre ère Subtitle: Matériaux anciens et nouveaux Author(s): RONDOT, Vincent Journal: Eastern Christian Art Volume: 14 Date: 2025 Pages: 21-35 DOI: 10.2143/ECA.14.0.3295404 Abstract : Ten years have passed since 2013 and the publication of my Derniers visages des dieux d’Égypte. They have seen the publication in 2016 of T.F. Mathews and N.E. Muller, The Dawn of Christian Art in Panel Paintings and Icons, and Les origines païennes des icônes, and in 2021 of G. Tallet, La splendeur des dieux (RGRW 193). These ten years have also seen a number of discoveries (excavations by the University of Lecce at Dimê-Soknopaiounesos in the Fayum and by the Mission archéologique française du désert oriental (MAFDO) at Deir el-Atrash, among others) and the publication of new documents that suggest an increasingly detailed understanding of a phenomenon that is still too complex to describe according to the habits of historiography. Questions of contact – or lack of it – between Egypt and Syria, and of filiation – or lack of it – between the ‘pagan icon’ and the ‘Christian icon’ still play too large a role in the discussion. |
