| Summary: | More than 400 distinguished scholars, including archaeologists, art historians, historians, epigraphers and theologians, have written the 1,455 entries in this monumental encyclopedia, the first comprehensive reference work of its kind. From Aachen to Zurzach, Paul Corby Finney's three-volume masterwork draws on archaeological and epigraphic evidence to offer readers a basic orientation to early Christian architecture, sculpture, painting, mosaic and portable artifacts created roughly between AD 200 and 600 in Africa, Asia and Europe. Clear, comprehensive and richly illustrated, this work will be an essential resource for all those interested in late antique and early Christian art, archaeology and history. |
