There is a long history of scholarship examining this relationship, probing the manner and meaning of its dynamics in terms of equivalency, complementarity, and polarity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume addresses the pictorial dimension of writing systems from cross-cultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. Historians--including specialists in art and literature--paleographers, and anthropologists consider imagistic scripts of the ancient and medieval Near East, Europe, Byzantium, and Latin America, and within Jewish, polytheistic, Christian, and Muslim cultures. They engage with pictographic, ideographic, and logographic writing systems, as well as with alphabetic scripts, examining diverse examples of cross-pollination between language and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brigitte Miriam Bedos-Rezak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884024075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884024071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Brigitte Miriam Bedos-Rezak","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526211162367,"sku":"9780884024071","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d63b4844-f8f6-4b96-a0cb-e3d57c113480.jpg?v=1737555513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sign-and-design-brigitte-miriam-bedos-rezak-9780884024071","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
