Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present pictorial graffiti executed on the walls of the Northern Church of the Ghazali Monastery located in what is today the Northern Province of Sudan. The graffiti were recorded during research by the Polish-Sudanese mission at the monastic complex. This paper explores the symbolic meanings of the graffiti as well as possible rationales behind their locations. Some of the depictions have overt religious meanings and may be interpreted as “graphic” prayers. This category of graffiti includes representations of Christ, angels, saints, female figures and horse riders. Other depictions seem to refer to daily life in Nubia – the graffiti abound in motifs such as camels, horses, boats and human beings.

苏丹加扎利北方教堂的涂鸦：概览

本文的目的是展示在今天苏丹北部省加扎利修道院北部教堂墙上的涂鸦。这些涂鸦是波兰苏丹使团在修道院进行研究时记录的。本文探讨了涂鸦的象征意义，以及它们所处位置背后可能的原因。一些描绘具有明显的宗教含义，可能被解释为“图形”祈祷。这类涂鸦包括基督、天使、圣徒、女性形象和骑马者的形象。其他描绘似乎是指努比亚的日常生活——涂鸦中充满了骆驼、马、船和人类等主题。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
