The Greek arte povera artist Nakis Panayotidis was born in 1947 in Athens and was educated in architecture in Turin and in visual arts in Rome. Since 1974 he has been living and working both in Bern and Greek island of Serifos. In the tradition of arte povera, Panayotidis employs a great diversity of materials in his art, such as stone, straw, lead, iron, copper and lamps etc. His art combines light and life and is never static. It always revolves around opposites that have found a moment of equilibrium. In his work, Panayotidis aims to emphasise the intrinsically permanent in momentary incidental images. This new book is published to coincide with a major retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Fine Art Bern. It features work by the artist in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and photography. Essays are contributed by curators Matthias Frehner and Regula Berger, Italian scholar, curator and art critic Bruno Cora, and also by personal friends of Panayotidis and collectors of his work.

Whether as a historian finding solutions to unresolved problems or as a scientist finding the causes for events and actions, Luther Martin's primary focus has been to get to the roots of the religious impulse in human existence. This collection of essays from scholars of his own generation and from his best students cover the three major strands of his work: the Greco-Roman world, cognitive science approaches to explaining religious phenomena and methodological issues in the academic study of religions. The contributions build on the work of Luther Martin and further the ongoing discussion and debate within these areas of religious studies.

This Greek-language monograph on the castle of Modon (Peloponnese, Greece) leads us on a journey from Homer to the 20th century, and concentrates particularly on the Venetian presence, which lasted for 300 years beginning at the fall of Constantinople in 1204. The book explores the correct name of Modon; its ancient walls and coins; the written and pictorial evidence for the castle; the structure of its Venetian administration; the deciphering and identification of the 27 coats of arms of Modon; the history of the lion of Venice; the study of the 18 lions, embedded in the walls; the discovery of the real attribution of the wrongly named Morosini column; the restoration of the name of the so-called Villehardouin tower; the examination and reading of the mason’s mark of the central gate; the finding of the correct original name of the eight-sided tower of the mole which is still called by its Turkish name Bourtzi; and the identification of the Mediaeval form of the old harbour
