scope of the stale and limiting classifications used for Early
Christian-Byzantine visual arts.

arts classified as Early Christian-Byzantine
- Comprised of essays from experts in the field that integrate
the newer, historiographical research into 'the canon' of
established scholarship
- Exposes the historical, geographical and cultural continuities
and interactions in the visual arts of the late antique and
medieval Mediterranean world
- Covers an extensive range of topics, including the effect that converging cultures in late antiquity had on art, the cultural identities that can be observed by looking at difference of tradition in visual art, and the variance of illuminations in holy books
