The goal of the study is to compare the dyes used in ecclesiastical post-Byzantine (sixteenth to early twentieth century) textiles of Mount Athos, Greece, with the corresponding organic colourants used in Ottoman (sixteenth to eighteenth century) textiles which are preserved in the Topkapi Palace Museum, Turkey. During the historical period of interest, Mount Athos which has been the spiritual centre of Byzantine culture for centuries, was within the borders of the Ottoman Empire (period of Ottoman rule).
