Designed as a quick-reference source to the topics, symbols,
themes, and stories most frequently found in early Christian,
western medieval, and Byzantine art, this work describes topics
that include names and narratives drawn from the Bible and
apocrypha, the lives of saints, and numerous other textual sources.
Authors whose works were frequently illustrated or who were
influential on the visual arts are treated, as are selected art
historical terms and events of significance for the arts.
Cross-references alert readers to alternate titles and related
topics, and the majority of entries cite a pictorial example. These
are keyed to standard texts for easy viewing access. The dictionary
begins with Aaron and ends with Zoomorphic Decoration. This
dictionary focuses on the medieval period and the distinctive ways
in which the subjects and symbols referenced in the work evolved
and developed during the Middle Ages, resulting in a unique
overview of the evolution, development, popularity, and
transformations that took place in medieval artistic iconography.
The introduction provides chronological, thematic, and
bibliographic surveys to supplement the 500 individual entries; the
bibliography directs the readers to more detailed studies. The work
also includes names and topics not always found in art reference
sources, for example, authors whose works were frequently
illustrated, or who were influential on the visual arts, and
historical events of significance for the arts.
