In this book the beauty and meaning of Byzantine art and its
aesthetics are for the first time made accessible through the
original sources. More than 150 medieval texts are translated from
nine medieval languages into English, with commentaries from over
seventy leading scholars. These include theories of art,
discussions of patronage and understandings of iconography,
practical recipes for artistic supplies, expressions of devotion,
and descriptions of cities. The volume reveals the cultural
plurality and the interconnectivity of medieval Europe and the
Mediterranean from the late eleventh to the early fourteenth
centuries. The first part uncovers salient aspects of Byzantine
artistic production and its aesthetic reception, while the second
puts a spotlight on particular ways of expressing admiration and of
interpreting of the visual.
