Abstract

V originále

The Introduction of the special issue of Convivium published in honor of Hans Belting’s eightieth birthday „A Bridge to Many Romes“, in the opening part speaks about the unbelievable range and quality of his work. Thanks to frank and unlimited approach to study of the medieval art and culture, Hans Belting tracked and defined the most important cultural exchanges between the East and the West. These merits mentioned above, serve among others as a notable example and model also for the Convivium itself. In like manner, „Many Romes“ as a main topic of the issue, is not just a metaphor or tribute to Hans Belting acknowledgements, but phenomenon on which further exposition Convivium aims to proceed. In the second part of the introduction, authors deal with the myth and cult of Rome and its spreading through the continental Europe and the Mediterranean basin up to „second Rome“, Constantinople. As the „third Rome“ authors present Moscow (not studied in this issue) which was theoretically, like Rome, a bridge between very different worlds and cultures from sixteenth to nineteenth century.
