商品簡介
Scholars of Byzantine religion, literature, and culture explore women; icons and images; and texts, practices, and spaces. Among the topics examined are learned women of Byzantium and the surviving record, Anna Komnene's will, new evidence on lead flasks and devotional patterns from Crusader Jerusalem to Byzantium, the posthumous miracles of St. Eurstatios on a Sinai Templon beam, the Jewish boy legend with the western twist, and Nicholas the monk and former soldier. Of the 29 papers, two are in French and one in German. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
