| Summary: | "Art and Archaeology in Byzantium and Beyond consists of 21 papers, which represent the breadth of the research interests of Sophia Kalopissi-Verti and Maria Panayotidi-Kesisoglou, to whom this volume is dedicated. The chapters have been divided into four sections and each is set in chronological order. The first section is dedicated to Byzantine and Post-Byzantine painting, including papers on wall-paintings and icon paintings. The second section contains four papers on Byzantine sculpture, showcasing examples from different regions of the Byzantine Empire. The third section concerns material culture (coinage and minor arts). The fourth and final section concerns architecture and topography in Byzantium and beyond. It tackles matters of topography in Byzantine cities and pilgrimage sites, and investigates aspects of Byzantine architecture and its perception. Overall, this volume offers new perspectives on familiar topics, as well as new material for discussion."--Back cover.
