Editorial Reviews
Lawrence S. Cunningham, Commonweal
"Anyone who has more than a passing interest in icons will find Maguire's book extremely helpful. He provides a decoding of the iconographical tradition that helps us gain a more perceptive eye. . . ."

Barbara Zeitler, American Journal of Archaeology
"Henry Maguire's study of saints' images in Byzantine art is a timely contribution to the study of Byzantine saints.... The merits of Maguire's book, however, go even further.... This study provides ample evidence that medieval artists were able to employ a varied register of different 'languages' and contradicts the still widespread notion that medieval artists were caught up in a particular 'style.'"
