Introduction Mount Athos has been an Orthodox spiritual centre since 1054 and has enjoyed an autonomous status since Byzantine times. Today, the “Holy Mountain” is still a major centre of the Christian religion with over 20 large, occupied and active monasteries. Peerless artworks of inestimable religious, spiritual and historical importance have been guarded by the monasteries for several centuries. Among them, important textiles can be found which have been barely studied [1]. A multi-disciplinary approach will be employed within the activities of the Byz-tex-Athos project (9/2008-9/2010), supported by the Getty Foundation, to study in detail thirty textile works from the Monastery of Simonos Petra (IMSP). The project is composed of the following phases: (i) clarification of the dyeing technology; (ii) stylistic and historic investigation; (iii) documentation and (iv) conservation of the historical objects.

A. Introduction

Mount Athos has been an Orthodox spiritual centre since 1054 and has enjoyed an autonomous status since Byzantine times. Today, the “Holy Mountain” is still a major centre of the Christian religion with over 20 large, occupied and active monasteries. Peerless artworks of inestimable religious, spiritual and historical importance have been guarded by the monasteries for several centuries. Among them, important textiles can be found which have been barely studied [1].

A multi-disciplinary approach will be employed within the activities of the Byz-tex-Athos project (9/2008-9/2010), supported by the Getty Foundation, to study in detail thirty textile works from the Monastery of Simonos Petra (IMSP). The project is composed of the following phases: (i) clarification of the dyeing technology; (ii) stylistic and historic investigation; (iii) documentation and (iv) conservation of the historical objects. Preliminary results are described in this study, including an investigation on the degradation of dyes occurred because of light ageing.

B.1. HPLC results

B. Accelerated ageing experiments

Wool and silk fibres were dyed with natural colouring materials such as cochineal (Dactylopius coccusCosta), madder (Rubia tinctorum L.), woad (Isatis tinctoria L. ), turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), young fustic (Cotinus coggygria SCOP.) and weld (Resedaluteola L.) based on traditional dyeing recipes. The samples were subjected to accelerated ageing at temperature 40 ± 2 oC and relative humidity 50 ± 2 %. Light ageing was performed using a 300 W Osram ULTRA-VITALUX lamp. Samples were collected after 240 h of treatment. Aged and unagedsamples were investigated using HPLC-DAD and SEM. The standard HCl method was used for dyestuff extraction.
