  • Les Ivoires de Salerne sont une collection de plaques bibliques en ivoire du XIe ou du XIIe siècle environ qui contiennent des éléments de l'art paléochrétien, byzantin et islamique ainsi que des influences de l'art roman occidental et de l'art anglo-saxon. Leur nombre est discuté, entre 38 et 70 plaques composeraient la collection. Il s'agit du plus grand ensemble unifié de sculptures en ivoire conservées du Moyen Âge pré-gothique ; elles représentent des scènes narratives de l'Ancien et du Nouveau Testament. Certains chercheurs pensent que les ivoires ont une signification politique et servent de commentaire sur la querelle des Investitures à travers leurs iconographies. La majorité des plaques sont conservées au musée diocésain de la cathédrale de Salerne, d'où vient le principal éponyme de l'ensemble. On suppose que les ivoires sont originaires de Salerne et d'Amalfi, qui abritaient toutes deux des ateliers d'ivoire identifiés, mais aucun n'a été définitivement lié aux plaques, de sorte que la ville d'origine reste inconnue. De plus petits groupes de plaques et de fragments de panneaux sont actuellement conservés dans différentes collections de musées en Europe et aux États-Unis, dont le Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, le musée du Louvre à Paris, le musée des Beaux-Arts de Budapest, le musée des Arts et Métiers de Hambourg, et la collection de sculptures des musées d'État de Berlin. En raison de leur quasi-intégralité et de leur excellent état de conservation, ils représentent le cycle décoratif en ivoire le plus important au monde. (fr)

The majority of the plaques are housed in the Diocesan Museum of the Cathedral of Salerno, which is where the group's main namesake comes from. It is supposed the ivories originated in either Salerno and Amalfi, which both contain identified ivory workshops, however neither has been definitively linked to the plaques so the city of origin remains unknown. Smaller groups of the plaques and fragments of panels are currently housed in different museum collections in Europe and America, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre in Paris, the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, the Hamburg Museum of Art and Trade, and the Sculpture Collection in the Berlin State Museums.

  • Gli Avori Salernitani sono un ciclo di 67 tavolette di avorio (in origine erano una settantina) raffiguranti scene del Vecchio e Nuovo Testamento provenienti dalla Cattedrale di Salerno ed esposti per la maggior parte nel locale Museo Diocesano. Per la loro quasi completezza e l'eccellente stato di conservazione, rappresentano il ciclo decorativo eburneo più importante al mondo. (it)
