The Cistercian Abbeys of Zaraka and Isova in the Principality of Achaia
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The publication of a collective volume on the history, archaeology, and architectural history of the Cistercian abbey of Zaraka in the Peloponnese provides an opportunity to clarify the identification and dating of Zaraka (ca. 1226-ca. 1263) and its sister abbey in the Principality of Achaia, Isova (ca. 1211-1263), both probably founded by Prince Geoffrey I of Villehardouin. This review essay is meant to function as a companion piece to the volume itself, problematizing certain issues while identifying areas for further research.
