商品簡介
Specialists in the history of late antique and Byzantine art and architecture are the contributors to this commemorative volume. Funeral practices, court ceremonial, and architectural use are some of the topics; other papers focus on the use of a single object or their creation. The result is a wide-ranging examination of the use and meaning of objects and buildings mainly in the eastern Mediterranean. Six of the articles are in French, six in English, and one is in German. A group of b&w plates conclude the volume. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
