Synopsis

Byzantinists and those interested in cross-cultural complexity will find much of interest in the thirteen essays of this volume, which examine various works of art that illustrate the use of things Byzantine in the medieval world, and the use in Byzantium of the artistic culture of Islam and the West. Topics include: manuscripts of southern Italy, the Artukid Bowl, the Monomachos Crown, Bulgarian icons, the Panagiarion of Alexios Komnenos Angelos, the use of symbolism from classical antiquity, Georgia and Byzantium, and Nubia and Egypt and Byzantium. The contributors are curators, historians, and art historians in the US and Europe. The essays are well-illustrated with good quality b&w plates. Annotation c.
