I refer, of course, to Procopius, historian of Justinian, who wrote a long description of Hagia Sophia in his book on the emperor's buildings, and Paul the Silentiary, a court official and poet, who penned a comparably lengthy account, the Description of Hagia Sophia. 1 It is not just the excitement that they convey in putting into words the miracle that is this building. It is their sense of the experience and what attracts their attention that is striking, prominent being the marbles and other colored stones that transform the surfaces of the church into a glistening array (Figure 2.1).

It seeks in particular studies of works of art that are associated with families, organizations, institutions, cities, social classes, or religious or secular groups or that functioned in discourse, debate, polemic and propaganda. Among the issues to be addressed are how works came to be associated with groups and ideologies; how they provided a fixed focus or catalyst for corporate behavior, values and pride; how the display and significance of the works changed over time; and how these changes were connected with (or disconnected from) the groups that they symbolized.
