THE BRITISH MUSEUM CHRISTIAN ART,
London, The British Museum Press, 2007 Bound, red cloth, illustrated dustjacket in colour, 185 x 250mm., 248pp., profound colour illustration. ISBN 9780714150536.
What makes a work of art Christian? Is it in the eye of the artist or the viewer? Can its meaning be understood by an individual artist or patron, or only within a Christian community? How was Christian art created and sustained over two millennia? How has it influenced and responded to the art of other great world religions? What is its function in post-Christian societies? This innovative book liberates Christian art from its traditional chronological framework and treats it as a response to universal human themes: relationships between women and men, food as an expression of friendship, refugees seeking asylum, coping with old age. New condition.

The second part contains full editions of and commentaries on nine of the papyri, most of which are either unpublished or only available in summary and now-out-of-date editions. Seven of the texts are kept in the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden; one is in the British Museum and another in the Hermitage.

Illuminated manuscripts are among the richest and most revealing relics of the pre-print Western world, and are central to our understanding of medieval social and cultural history. The British Library boasts the world's finest collection of medieval manuscripts, and in this new and lavishly illustrated survey, Janet Backhouse draws on these collections to provide a comprehensive introduction to these exciting and colourful materials.The manuscripts featured include bestiaries, psalters, Bibles, books of hours, and medical and herbal collections that originated in workrooms as geographically diverse as the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria and the Crusader kingdom of Jerusalem. There is also a great chronological diversity among the selected manuscripts, with examples ranging from the seventh century AD and the Lindisfarne Gospels to early Renaissance offerings.Each of the almost 220 illluminations presented are accompanied by a caption and have been reproduced in colour. Many of the immages chosen have been reproduced here for the first time.
