| Summary |
In comparisonwith the wave of research dedicated to the aesthetics of the Latin Middle Ages, Byzantine aesthetics must be considered a relatively new and still largely unexplored subject. The contributions assembled in the present volume document the growing research interest in this field and present a wide variety of issues and methodologies that will be of interest to students and scholars of the philosophy, art, and literature of Late Antiquity and the Byzantine period. |
