Variazioni bizantino-selciukidi su Medusa

Starting from the study of two prominent Seljuk monuments of Konya, the Rum capital, the Larende Camii and the Ince Minareli Madrasa, both commissioned by Vezir Sahb Ata Fahreddin Ali and built by the same architect, Keluk Ibn Abdullah, the interpretation of the portals decoration offers the opportunity for an insight in the motivations and cultural sources of a programme of revival of illustrious, pagan and christian antecedents, embedded in a renovated, wholly Islamic new message.
