Customer Review:
Having had the chance to listen to Robin Cormack speak, and always having had an interest in Byzantine art, I look forward to reading this. I was not disappointed in the least. As Cormack rightly points out both in his introduction and his bibliographic essay, the art of Byzantium is presented... more info

Customer Review:
Exaustively researched, excruciatingly detailed, and competently illustrated, this is still the best book I know on the subject, although an update to include color illustrations would much improve it. However, the paperback binding is sadly inadequate--my copy fell apart when I opened it...

Customer Review:
I found this book extremely useful, it being virtually the only dictionary on Jewish Palestinian Aramaic around. Pity it didn't do an English-Aramaic index as well, which would have been EXTREMELY useful. Rather pointless though were its inclusion of words that it did not know the meaning of! As a... more info

Customer Review:
Peers' does an excellent job in this endeavor of combining ecclesiastical texts with images. Much of the book poses the problem of how one represents an angel: a bodiless form. Since this was the foundation of the assault against images during Iconoclasm, Peers' framing of the problem within a... more info

Customer Review:
The tanslation of the texts are well done, but that is not the best thing about this book. It is the commentary that follows the translations (about half the book). The author does an excellent job of describing, in modern language, the items detailed in the translations, providing examples from... more info

Customer Review:
Historians today are in the process of taking a closer look at periods traditionally seen as "outside" the high points of history. As Jas Elsner demonstrates, the period usually seen as the decline of ancient Roman tradition was in reality a period of rich tradition as people continually reworked... more info

Customer Review:
Like another reviewer, I also had this book for a course on Byzantine art. For the most part, Lowden's book is a "survey" in the fullest sense of the word: on average, he only spends a paragraph or two on a particular monument, focusing primarily on style and iconography for icon panels, mosaics,... more info

Customer Review:
Rice's introduction to Byzantine art is particularly useful in that it does not limit itself to the arts of Constantinople only. It focuses first on the Late Antique period (primarily in Egypt), and then goes on to provide worthwhile overviews of artistic developments in Constantinople, Byzantine... more info
