Sankt-Peterburg: Ermitage, 2000. Hardcover. VG/VG-. minor bumping to book corners; indentations to cover edges; scratch to cover. dustjacket has edge-wear, creases & indentations to cover.. Black cloth with silver lettering; silver dj with color illustration and Cyrillic lettering; 488 pp. with color illustrations throughout. ]. Text in Russian. The catalogue from the exhibition held at the Hermitage and then at Courtauld Institute Galleries, Somerset House, London. Catalog essays by Yuri Piatnitsky, Marlia Mango, and Robin Cormack. Editorial Review - Cahners Business Information (c) 2001: A mother lode of Orthodox imagery comes into print via the monks of St. Catherine's Monastery at Mount Sinai, world-famous for its Byzantine art, and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, which houses various Byzantine masterpieces as shown here. Covering the time from the rise of Byzantium to the last tsar of Russia, this lavishly illustrated volume presents an unbroken tradition in Orthodox painting from the sixth through the 20th centuries. Other typically Byzantine items are also included: religious mosaics, amphoras, plates, liturgical crosses and vessels, coins, and illuminated manuscript pages from St. Catherine's superlative collection of historic Christian texts, the largest outside the Vatican. This volume contains some images that have not been seen in previous books on the subject and provides a more substantial look at St. Catherine's than other books on this monastery, the oldest Christian monastery in the world. A beautiful book!
