Image Making in Byzantium, Sasanian Persia and the Early Muslim World: Images and Cultures (Variorum Collected Studies)

Relations between Byzantium and its neighbours are the focus of this volume. The papers address questions of cultural exchange, with special attention to art historical relations as shown by technical, iconographic and diplomatic exchanges. While addressed to specialists, both their approach and the language make these papers accessible to students at all levels.
