In fernem Land, unnahbar euren Schritten... Theodor Anton Ippen’s Reports on the Medieval Churches of the Albanian North. A Critical Approach

Summary/Abstract: The work of Theodor Anton Ippen (1861–1935), Orientalist and Consul of the Habsburg Empire in Scutari, presents a special interest for the Christian topography of north and central Albania. This article is a short critical approach on Ippen’s reports on six churches, with emphasis on their fresco decoration (Byzantine, Late Gothic, and Post-Byzantine one). Ippen’s contribution is still valuable, as it brings out documentation on previously unnoticed monuments and frescoes of medieval Albania, some of which have not even survived.
