This book is devoted to a category of manuscripts known as
proskynetaria, dating mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Proskynetaria is the name given to manuscripts containing
descriptions of the monuments of Palestine, especially the
Christian ones. The manuscripts have many similarities with modern
travel books, or with tourist guides to archaeological sites. The
miniatures illustrating the manuscripts depict towns and sacred
places, churches and monasteries, caves, mountains and lakes, as
well as events from the Holy Scriptures and ecclesiastical history
and tradition. The proskynetaria are brilliant examples of folk art
that form a basic source for Palestine during one period of its
history. Greek language text. Over 100 colour illustrations.
