Examines the image networks of St. George in the eastern Mediterranean, revealing how the different portrayals became central to Crusader, East Christian, and Islamic visual cultures.



Trade Review

“This panoramic volume follows the images of military saints across Armenian, Byzantine, Coptic, Crusader, Georgian, Islamic, Syriac, and many other fields of study usually held separate. Badamo ties together the fragmented political map of the later medieval eastern Mediterranean in unexpected ways that cause us to rethink broader questions of global art and history.”

—Benjamin Anderson,Cornell University


“Saint George Between Empires particularly excels in highlighting the importance of Saint George / al-Khiḍr in both Christian and Islamic contexts, and is by far the most all-encompassing study on this subject.”

—Dr. Mat Immerzeel,Fellow International Studies, Leiden University
