Comment on The Last Judgment by Robert Ousterhout

Hi Batur, Thanks for the excellent dinner last night — it was great to meet you.
The site looks good! Two small things, however … In the explanation of the history of the building you should say the core of the building (not the majority of the building) dates from the time of Maria Dukaina. Everything but the naos is from the time of Theodore Metochites.

Second, it’s OK if you quote me, but you should give a reference to the book when you do.

That’s all for now!
Robert

Comment on Anastasis by Sevasti

This is from the Last Judgement (the Deesis – intercession of John the Forerunner (Baptist) and the Virgin Mary on the behalf of mankind at the Second Coming of Christ. It is in the Parecclseion of Chora (Kariye Djamii) where the Anastasis is located, but this is not the Anastasis (Resurrection of Adam and Eve).

I’m writing a thesis on the Byzantine Institute of America. I’ve seen the assertion here an on Wikipedia that Whittemore had good relations with Ataturk. What is the source for this? Do we have any of Whittemore’s letters?

Any information is appreciated.
