Beskrivning

This book explores intermedial compositional processes in later Byzantium, building on the Akathistos Hymnos. Highlighting illuminated and notated manuscript copies of the hymn as evidence for varied liturgical and devotional practices, they examine how icons and murals based on the Akathistos functioned as constituent elements of sacred space.
