Studies in East Christian and Roman Art
Overview
The two classic monographs combined in this volume discuss East Christian and Roman art history. The first is Charles R. Morey’s work on East Christian Paintings in the Freer Collection, first published in 1914. The second, written by Walter Dennison, presents “a description of 36 objects belonging to a notable gold treasure of the late Roman period found in Egypt” with descriptions “intentionally full; since the evidence at our disposal for acquaintance with the jeweller’s art of this period is comparatively meager, it was thought that the publication of a detailed study might be of interest.” The scholarly texts are vibrant with ample photographs, illustrations, diagrams, and sketches. Contents: • Part 1—East Christian Paintings in the Freer Collection • Two Miniatures from a Manuscript of St. John Climacus, and their Relation to Klimax Iconography • Eight Miniatures from a Manuscript of the Gospels • The Painted Covers of the Washington Manuscript of the the Gospels • Part 2—A Gold Treasure of the Late Roman Period from Egypt • The Treasure and Its Distribution • Description of the Objects
