Description:
Historians have long maintained that the subjects and structures of Bible illustration were largely determined by archetypes from the earliest years of Christian culture. In this book John Williams and four other prominent scholars -- Katrina Kogman-Appel, John Lowden, Lawrence Nees, and Dorothy Verkerk -- challenge this conventional wisdom and find the illustration and decoration of the early medieval Bible to have been an enterprise shaped by the dynamics of a new culture.
