Between Constantinople and Rome (eBook, ePUB)

An Illuminated Byzantine Gospel Book (Paris gr. 54) and the Union of Churches

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is a study of the artistic and political context that led to the production of Bibliothèque Nationale de France, codex grec 54, one of the most ambitious and complex manuscripts of the Byzantine era. Kathleen Maxwell's multi-disciplinary approach includes codicological and paleographical evidence together with New Testament textual criticism, artistic and historical analysis. Maxwell concludes that Paris 54 was designed to eclipse its contemporaries and to physically embody a new relationship between Constantinople and the Latin West.
