About This Item
Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1969 4to (30.5 cm), front., XIII, 269 pp, 112 plates. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. From the blurb: "The first systematic study of illuminations for Byzantine homilitic literature, this book demonstrates the dramatic impact of Byzantine liturgy on art. Such was the eloquence of Gregory Nazianzenus that even five hundred years after his death, lavishly illustrated manuscripts containing all of the homilies of this fourth-century Patriarch of Constantinople were still being produced. By the beginning of the eleventh century a new, abbreviated edition was widely circulated, containing 16 homilies considered most appropriate to supplement gospel lections. Of this liturgical edition 36 illustrated copies are extant. They are discussed here and listed in a catalogue raisonné. The illustrations make available several hundred miniatures hitherto inaccesable." Studies in Manuscript Illumination Series, Vol. 6.
