Rezensionen
"Die vorliegende Münchener Dissertation, die sich der bildlichen
Umsetzung von Visionen in der Spätantike und deren Kontext widmet (ca.
300 bis 750 n.Chr.), stellt eine willkommene Ergänzung zu den seit
einigen Jahren stärker forcierten Studien zu Träumen und Visionen in der
Antike dar, haben doch Bildquellen hierbei bisher eine eher
untergeordnete Rolle gespielt."
