arts, including polytheistic, Zoroastrian, Jewish, Christian, and
Islamic traditions * Informational text boxes on key issues and a
glossary of terms * Diverse cultures interwoven in a single
chronological framework * Five broad interpretive themes-artistic

timelines, podcasts, new primary-source translations, and more, Art
and Architecture of the Middle Ages brilliantly expands and
recalibrates the story of medieval art history.
