Description

Explore the evolution of Byzantine art through this specialized scholarly corpus. This volume provides detailed catalogue descriptions of all surviving evangelist portraits from the Middle Byzantine period, spanning from the mid-ninth to the mid-thirteenth century. Author portraits are the most frequent type of figural illustration found in Greek manuscripts. By focusing on the depictions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, this work allows for direct comparison between images to track stylistic changes in Byzantine painting. Beyond art history, these miniatures serve as a window into the daily life of the era. The illustrations include specific details regarding Byzantine material culture, such as domestic furniture, lamps, and writing utensils. This resource is an essential tool for researchers and students studying manuscript illumination and the historical context of the Middle Byzantine period.
