Abstract

The subject of the Byzantine garden is primarily to be tackled from texts, and is very much a subject of its texts. My research on the Byzantine garden began from an art historian's point of view, I wanted to examine the possibilities of interpreting the garden as an example of visual culture. How was the garden represented? What did the garden look like? But the information demanded by such questions proved to be thin.
