| Summary: | This festschrift honors Leslie Brubaker on her 60th birthday, celebrating three decades of teaching. She taught for many years at Wheaton College, but has been affiliated with the U. of Birmingham in the UK since 1994. Her expertise is Byzantine illustrated manuscripts and the proliferation of the cult of the Virgin Mary in Byzantium. Fourteen contributions by colleagues and students, including several senior scholars in the field explore topics pertaining to her interests including, for example, touch and meaning of Byzantine art, by Liz James (U. of Sussex, the UK); the context of sermons read in Byzantine churches and monasteries, by Mary B. Cunningham (U. of Birmingham); the message of the heavenly ladder image in Sinai Ms.Gr.417, by Kathleen Corrigan (Dartmouth College) and Nancy P. Sevcenko (independent scholar, Vermont, US); and theories of Ottoman legitimacy by 15th-century Byzantine scholars, by Konstantinos Moustakas (U. of Crete, Greece). The volume is well illustrated with b&w plates. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
