Icons and Power: The Mother of God in Byzantium
Pentcheva, Bissera V. (Associate Professor, Stanford University)
Pentcheva demonstrates that a fundamental shift in the Byzantine cult from relics to icons, took place during the late tenth century. Centered upon fundamental questions of art, religion, and politics, Icons and Power makes a vital contribution to the entire field of medieval studies.
