Abstract

The great American satirist, Tom Lehrer, once said (in relative youth) ‘when Mozart was my age, he’d been dead two years’. When Hjalmar Torp began to write about the Rotunda (or Church of St George) in Thessaloniki, this reviewer hadn’t been born for 8 years… Torp’s first contribution to the study of this remarkable and enigmatic building was published in 1954. It was the beginning of a string of discussions. If anyone knows this monument really well, it is the great – now 95-year-old – doyen of Norwegian early Christian archaeology. What he has published here is a beautifully produced and lovingly written summa of a lifetime’s work, with publications spanning French, Norwegian and English over 65 years – a period that included significant events in the lifetime of the building itself, such as the damage of the earthquake of 1978 and the painstaking restorations thereafter. The book is commanding, comprehensive and fundamental, and the addition of a brief typology of the portraits of the saints by the distinguished art historian Bente Kiilerich is welcome (pp. 187-93).
伟大的美国讽刺作家汤姆·莱勒(Tom Lehrer)曾经说过(相对年轻的时候):“莫扎特在我这个年纪的时候,他已经去世两年了。”当Hjalmar Torp开始写关于塞萨洛尼基圆形大厅(或圣乔治教堂)的文章时,这位评论家还没有出生8年……Torp对这座非凡而神秘的建筑的研究的第一份贡献发表于1954年。这是一系列讨论的开始。如果有人真的很了解这座纪念碑,那就是挪威早期基督教考古学的伟大元老——现在已经95岁了。他在这里发表的是一本制作精美、文笔优美的著作,总结了他一生的工作,在65年的时间里,他用法语、挪威语和英语出版了作品。在这段时间里,这座建筑本身发生了重大事件,比如1978年地震的破坏和此后艰苦的修复工作。这本书是威严的,全面的和基本的,加上一个简短的圣徒肖像的类类学,由杰出的艺术史学家本特·基勒里希是受欢迎的(第187-93页)。
