| 要約: | The paper aims to give an overview of what has emerged so far from the analysis of Cypriot Medieval and Early Modern graffiti. The formal variety of the collected material reflects the multicultural character of the island and the ability of the writers to use different communication and writing systems to express their messages. Moreover, the preliminary analysis of Cypriot graffiti is highlighting an intangible heritage of intimate and daily practices that are still little explored, such as magic and superstition alongside religion. The study of graffiti, as it emerges from the present contribution, can crucially contribute to recovering the intangible heritage of past practices and aspects of everyday life as they are preserved by the invisible archive of the island’s historical buildings. |
