"Art historians have, for the first time, an encyclopedic treatment of this reliquary, to which critics today assign pride of place among early Christian ivory carvings. In chapter one the reader is provided with descriptions and pictures of all the carved surfaces, and an ingenious appendix Table of Identifications repeats all thirty-three registers, the fifteen extant medallions, and all nine panels and locates each in its proper site on a sketch of the casket. The comprehensiveness and the design of this appendix make it more satisfactory for study than a visit to the Museo Civico in Brescia where the casket is displayed." —The Heythrop Journal"[H]elpful to both the specialized scholar as well as someone new to the subject.... [T]he book reflects a growing acknowledgment among scholars that there existed a close affinity between theological ideas and artistic representation in the early Christian world." —Religious Studies Review
