Sitting аtоp the highest pоint in оld Jerusаlem, the Dome of the Rock’s golden-color Dome аnd Turkish ceramic tiles dominates the cityscape of Old Jerusalem and served as a testament to the power of the new faith of Islam. The Dome of the Rock is one of the earliest surviving buildings from the Islamic world. At the center of the Dome of the Rock sits a large rock, which is believed to be the location where Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his son Isaac. Today, Muslims believe that the Rock commemorates the night journey of Muhammad. One night the Angel Gabriel came to Muhammad while he slept near the Kaaba in Mecca and took him to the farthest mosque in Jerusalem. From the Rock, Muhammad journeyed to heaven, where he met other prophets, such as Moses and Christ, witnessed paradise and hell, and finally saw God enthroned and surrounded by angels. The colonnades are adorned with exceptional mosaics. Golden mosaics depicting jewels shimmer in this glittering light. The mosaics in the Dome of the Rock contain no human figures or animals. Instead, we see vegetative scrolls and motifs. Byzantine and Sasanian crowns in the midst of vegetal motifs are also visible. Thus, the iconography of the Dome of the Rock also includes the other major pre-Islamic civilization of the region, the Sasanian Empire, which the Arab armies had defeated.
Sоurce: Prоcоpius, Byzаntine historiаn - Description of Hаgia Sophia from AD 537. The emperor...collected together workmen from every land. It is indeed a proof of the esteem with which God regarded the emperor, that he furnished him with men who would be so useful in effecting his designs, and we are compelled to admire the wisdom of the emperor, in being able to choose the most suitable of mankind to execute the noblest of his works.... A spherical-shaped dome standing upon this circle makes it exceedingly beautiful; from the lightness of the building, it does not appear to rest upon a solid foundation, but to cover the place beneath as though it were suspended from heaven by the fabled golden chain. No one ever became weary of this spectacle, but those who are in the church delight in what they see... Moreover it is impossible accurately to describe the gold, and silver, and gems, presented by the Emperor Justinian, but by the description of one part, I leave the rest to be inferred. That part of the church which is especially sacred, and where the priests alone are allowed to enter, which is called the Sanctuary, contains forty thousand pounds' weight of silver. QUESTIONS: 1. How does Procopius describe the church of Hagia Sophia? 2. What information does he provide about Byzantine culture and religion? Your answer must be in your own words- do not use direct quotes.
