{"product_id":"subtle-bodies-glenn-peers-9780520224056","title":"Subtle Bodies: Representing Angels in Byzantium","description":"Throughout the course of Byzantine history, Christian doctrine taught that angels have a powerful place in cosmology. It also taught that angels were immaterial, bodiless, invisible beings. But if that were the case, how could they be visualized and depicted in icons and other works of art? This book describes the strategies used by Byzantine artists to represent the incorporeal forms of angels and the rationalizations in defense of their representations mustered by theologians in the face of iconoclastic opposition. Glenn Peers demonstrates that these problems of representation provide a unique window on Late Antique thought in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Peers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520224051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520224056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Glenn Peers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46825738830079,"sku":"9780520224056","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef92da09-2bd5-47b7-b8a1-399b2606d0c5.jpg?v=1746073485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/subtle-bodies-glenn-peers-9780520224056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
