{"product_id":"a-companion-to-byzantine-illustrated-vasiliki-tsamakda-9789004343184","title":"A Companion to Byzantine Illustrated Manuscripts","description":"This volume offers an overview of Byzantine manuscript illustration, a central branch of Byzantine art and culture. Just like written texts, illustrations bear witness to Byzantine material culture, imperial ideology and religious beliefs, as well as to the development and spread of Byzantine art. In this sense illustrated books reflect the society that produced and used them. Being portable, they could serve as diplomatic gifts or could be acquired by foreigners. In such cases they became \"emissaries\" of Byzantine art and culture in Western Europe and the Arabic world.\u003cbr\u003eThe volume provides for the first time a comprehensive overview of the material, divided by text categories, including both secular and religious manuscripts, and analyses which texts were illustrated in Byzantium, and how.\u003cbr\u003eContributors are Justine M.
