The Painter's Manual of Dionysius of Fourna : An English Translation from the Greek With Commentary, of Cod. Gr. 708 in the Saltykov-Shchedrin State Public Library - Softcover
Synopsis
Among the oldest of the Greek style narrative patternbooks and instruction texts extant. A classic hermeneia ('interpretation' of 'expounding' literally), this oversize, small-print gem includes introductory sections on iconpainting techniques and describes several thousand figures of saints, Old and New Testament events, parables, feast days, decoration of churches, color, etc. Detailed appendices make this a reference and source document 'par excellence'. Compiled on Mt. Athos from 1730-34, from ancient and then-current sources.

About the Author
Paul Hetherington, the translator of this Greek text, is an historian in England, a researcher of byzantine topics and a student of classic materials. Dionysius of Fourna was a monk of the Greek Church, living on Mt. Athos, and an excellent master iconographer. His icon paintings are still very much admired both on Mt. Athos and in several cities in Greece.
