Description: New Haven: Yale University Press, for the Menil Collection, 2013. 27cm., hardcover, 189pp. illus., most in color. Exhibition catalogue. Summary : How did Byzantine culture understand its own objects we now call ‘art’? This book attempts to overturn conventional art historical thought through a combination of material investigation, historical recovery and hermeneutic clearing. Distinguished authors argue that categorising these objects made for Medieval Greek Christians as art is incorrect, instead suggesting that they were rooted in a world with an animistic view of living things.
