Studies in Byzantine Manuscript Illumination and Iconography
by Ioannis Spatharakis
Ioannis Spatharakis’s work on Byzantine manuscript painting created the standard corpus for dated illuminated Greek manuscripts. This collection of his essays study the history of portraits in Byzantine manuscripts, the era of Iconoclasm and the Macedonian Renaissance, the Palaeologan period, Cretan wall paintings.
The work of Ioannis Spatharakis on Byzantine manuscript painting has resulted in the standard corpus of dated illuminated Greek manuscripts, and an important survey of the history of the portrait in Byzantine manuscripts. His numerous papers published over the last twenty years have dealt with illuminated manuscripts from the era of Iconoclasm and the Macedonian Renaissance in the eighth and ninth centuries to the productions of the Palaeologan period in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. These are reproduced here, along with a number of papers on iconographical themes, and unpublished studies of wall paintings in Crete. One paper is translated from Greek, and a number of others are published here for the first time.
